Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I say I don't get football, all I mean is I have a hard time following the game play. My dad watched football like it was ballet. It was very clear to me that he was seeing something I wasn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to stop bashing my head against arguments with people who won't differentiate between "I don't see anything there" and "There's nothing there."
It's not the end of the world to say that other people are communicating with a lexicon you don't share--most likely because you have no interest in it. But to tell them they're not communicating? You can't tell you sound stupid?
Plumber just gave me the "actually, don't put anything other than water down your garbage disposal" talk. Which...I haven't had in 12 years, so I was due for a reminder. He also reminded me that flushable wipes aren't flushable. Luckily tampons didn't come up (API).
Burrell, it is good that he's gone--problem is, I don't think he's replaced.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What the heck are they for, then?

Can somebody explain to me why people were criticizing Gabby Douglas' hair? I've seen a bunch of "She went in front of the cameras with THAT hair?!" type comments, and I can't figure out what people are objecting to. She had a ponytail, which seems fairly standard for gymnastics. When I exercise with my hair in a ponytail, my sweat tends to make the front part curl and frizz out, so that there's a bunch of hair sticking out around my face, but she had enough clips in so that didn't happen. What are people seeing that I'm not seeing?

I think it wasn't the ponytail, but the kind of "this isn't really a bun but I've doubled-up my ponytail in a half-ass looking way" part? I thought it was a little weird, given how slicked back and glittered and baretted the front was, but...

It's consistent bullshit, if at all. The last time I had a plumber work on a blocked garbage disposal, their caution was "nothing fibrous--nothing you wouldn't put into a dishwasher--whatever's left after you scraped your plate into the garbage."
So I believe them, and that I'm skating on luck inbetween blockages.

Racism and hair politics, in a nutshell. Your hair might frizz out, but at the end of the day, you're still white.

But a bunch of them were wearing their hair like that. (And she didn't have glitter in her hair. I remember noticing and commenting that all the Russians had a ton of glitter, but the Americans were glitter-free.)
