It's gross, but it makes me laugh how much it grosses you out.

I forsee msbelle wearing closed toe shoes for a while.

There were a lot of stupid bags of flesh on the road today. A mom jogging with her kid in a stroller IN THE STREET when there was perfectly decent sidewalk nearby. A busy street. Guy, helmetless riding a bike in traffic, against flow, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. Student crossing the street at a not crosswalk WITHOUT LOOKING and requiring evasive maneuvers by not one, but 3 cars.

In other stupid news, fucking hell, they are insecticiding the apartment complex friday. They do not tell me if they are using fumigants, in which case, I need to vacate the cats as well because NO ONE POISONS MY CATS. In any case, I have to fucking empty my fucking kitchen. Completely. Fuck.

I should not have left my bed this morning, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm disappointed in how many things "battery" covers. Misdemeanor battery is what the krav instructor who beat up a guy in self defense was charged with, and it's the same term for licking a stranger's toes? Doesn't seem right.

I have a specific pair of shoes I want to wear today, and I can't seem to put together the right outfit for them. My black skirts don't fit when I'm at the top of my weight bracket.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think we've discussed this before, but what's the difference between assult and battery? Assult means just attacking, whether or not you hit them, and battery is the hitting?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My understanding is that a threat is assault. "I'm going to hit you!" = assault. Actually hitting = battery.

The terrible no-good shoes apparently do not exist online. Which means I'll have to take my own good picture of them in order to sell them. Ugh.

It used to be that battery was defined as unlawful touching (basically) and assault was attempted battery. I don't think a lot of jurisdictions have that distinction anymore.

most jurisdictions have combined assault and battery into one crime.

What makes something more than misdemeanor battery? Or is that just an arbitrary distinction?

What comes after (is more severe) than misdemeanor battery?
