I'm volunteering for them on election day. So psyched.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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 wonder how high Bhopal would rate if Union Carbide had actually paid the damages it should have.
Yeah, that's a good question/point. I think the only reason the recent LA commuter train crash made the list is it occurred in a wealthy, litigious country.
That's interesting about Chernobly - I had only heard that the operators conducted a dangerous safety test.
eta: I'm not saying it's bad for people to sue over the LA train crash....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love the term nerd-adjacent.
I think my HS experience just doesn't fit into the standard nerdometrics. My school had no athletic teams, the cool kids either surfed, skated, or sailed boats. The school bullies were the D&D playing, Renn faire attending nerds of normal schools. No really, I mean it--their "gang" called themselves the Wraiths.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Turns out the motel I'll be staying at is a quarter block from a Waffle House. Guess I know where I'll be eating breakfast in Chico. Some Buffistas have expressed enthusiasm for this chain. Any recs? (No points for just saying "Waffles".)
Edit: And Trudy, so cool.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Get the hash browns at the Waffle House. Nom nom nom.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

my HS experience just doesn't fit into the standard nerdometrics.
true for me also, but more because the school was just too small. 25 people per grade doesn't lend itself to true cliques. Still, I refused to be in the invitation only writing group or play on the academic game show thingy - so nerd can't apply.

Starbucks is handing out free coffee on November 4th to voters.
Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts. Though possibly not here in California since it's illegal or some such crap.
ION, has looking in one's rearview mirror before backing out of a parking space become less of a rule and more of a "suggestion"? Because some stupid bitch just hit me with her car as I was walking across our office parking lot and she seemed fairly unapologetic about it.
