Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wait, Chase got hacked? I have a credit card with them and haven't gotten any notification.
Sunflower seeds are NOT an acceptable substitute for pine nuts, IMHO. Signed, never liked sf seeds anyway and spent two years in a country where almost all food was fried in or drenched with unrefined sf oil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This guy looked like he was waiting to see how I'd react, which was fair. Except, me, I'd have lied about it. I mean, you already have no morals, why not lie on a first date? Maybe he didn't like me enough.
I think you should want to make a good enough impression on a first date that you'd lie. Or express shame, at minimum.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, but every time they come up on Feministe etc there's a comment or two that says "Hey, the one I volunteer at isn't like that, we actually help people get real support!" So there's at least...three or four that aren't scams?

Huh. I just wouldn't have thought they'd be called that, I guess.

Me either. There's this letter on their website:

My evil pine nuts were from Earth Fare, where I tend to expect better standards than evil Chinese pine nuts! I will be going with walnuts for the forseeable future for my mild nutty needs; I find sunflower seeds too strong. I should note that the Pine Mouth is better today that yesterday and sweet things tend to make it worse than non-sweet things. Also mr. flea at some pine nuts (but fewer than I did) and did not get it.
stories of how to make shoes not hurtMoleskin ahead of time. After the fact of blisters I think you are SOL. Also, I never walk long distances in shoes that aren't well worn in (and preferably Dansko stapled clogs).
Re: American culture, there was a hilarious thing in the Times recently by a woman who had just gotten back from the Peace Corps in West Africa and went to a Manhattan Post Office. The conversation went like this:
Her: "Hi, how are you?"
Post Office Person: "Fine."
Her: "How have all the members of your family been?"
Post Office Person: "What the fuck? Do you want to buy some stamps or what?"

I didn't know there were crisis pregnancy centers that were OK? Huh. I just associate them with the whole "You are pregnant and if you abort you are going to HELL!" thing.
OTOH, those women need maternity clothes too, I suppose? But yeah, that's a little awkward, Jess.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Technically, a marketing company (Epsilon) that a number of corporations use got hacked, and email addresses were stolen. There was no account information taken.
I got the notification from Chase when I logged into my online account. Best Buy sent me an email.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Modified cannabinoid THC offers pain relief without the buzz
It appears that 5-desoxy-THC is a very specific painkiller. It blocks reflex responses to pain, but doesn't inhibit higher-level processing of painful sensations; on the plus side, it doesn't have the psychoactive side effects of the THC from which it was derived.
