I like this xkcd: xkcd: Seventies
But I don't get why the mouseover text is in a lisp....
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Those are Long Ss, tommyrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, you know what? That is the report for the ENTIRE month of May.
Sweet Jesus--just tell me what date the records in the database go up to...I think we both understand that June is missing, so I will dedicate today to the idea that some of May might be missing too. By 5PM, I should have the cutoff date. I'm assuming it's going to take him that long to work out that he needs to look at the last record in the table and tell me what its datestamp is.
It's like every instance of "Why don't you tell me what your goal is, not the task you have in mind?" is coming back to bite me in the ass. He will never *just* run the query I ask. I give him SQL fragments, and it's no good. He always has to decide what I mean, and give me that instead. It wastes hours, since he has yet to work out what I mean the first time he tries.
And...the difference between specifying the goal and the task is some of that targeted management I was talking about. But if the person you're talking to doesn't accept what quadrant they're in...it's like torture. TORTURE. Literally, I am tortured. Honest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just don't understand where the June data is.

I think it's in your ass.
Maybe it's his ass.
Maybe it's my ass.
But there's definitely ass all over this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hey... the June data is missing.
I think that quadrant thingy would be useful in assessing relationships, too. High/low maintenance plotted against high/low value.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There is no June.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am also interested in this quadrant thing.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
