DX - that must be what happened. What a nasty feature.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

What is even happening?
I've mentioned that my mother doesn't get that some people do consider "hell" to be cursing, right? And that she thinks they're just being silly or coy, and what the hell is wrong with them, it's a perfectly fine word, and for that matter, so is (insert cuss here).
My family was shocked *shocked* to realize some people consider frigging a curse.

You, err, didn't fill them in on the meaning, did you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What a pointless feature. Sorry you got harassed, sumi.
I was looking at the latest Nike Women's promo. I'm not entirely sure what the "hips" portion has to do with anything, but the "legs" one did make me tear up. I've read criticism of that and the Dove ads ("they're not fat!" which makes me wonder what TV stations/magazines/movies the complainer is exposed to...) but I find them refreshing. Sure, they're exploiting insecurities, because they're ads, but still. New body shapes.

Some people should never live in Ireland.

Always Anti-fascist!
I called myself an opinionated cuat today in a comment(because unlike the squad, I preferred it to twunt.) We'll see what he says...I felt very Eve Ensler about the whole thing.

I like the Nike ones better than the Dove ones.
The Dove ones make me think of How to Get Ahead in Advertising, because I'm a paranoid fat chick.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I know it's one of the tools the HR department at work uses and when I tried it out about a year ago to see how much I was worth and I seem to recall it takes a whole bunch of things, including experience and location, into account, so it should be fairly accurate.

Were you edit or test when you were blue before?
Test. And my manager isn't in today, so I can't ask her. I think I'm just going to add $3 to my current hourly rate.

The Nike ones get me harder because of the relatives I have that think they're fat when really they're blessed with muscle I'd kill to have, and they think they're ugly, and they'll play soccer but never do a pushup or throw in a ball (she used to be a goalie!) because their shoulders or arms will get bigger, and ... I mean, if you're going to accept your body, you should at least understand it and why it's not like Calista Flockhart's, you know? Just because you can pinch it, it doesn't mean it's fat. Just because it's fat, it doesn't mean it's bad.
