That's EXACTLY what I cited on my brother's post. And, um, a few other places. That story/film haunts me (turns out, my brother, too.)

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

I still don't forgive those kids and adults.
Ah man, I think one of my old high school friends has gone full alt-right. He reposted something that starts with 'Nazis are scumbags. However...' Yeah, the Neo-Nazis were the real victims, sure. Poor Nazis having their free speech suppressed by the violent left. If you have a Nazi and Klan rally (two great tastes that go great together) there's going to be a counter-protest. What the fuck is wrong with that? Nobody is going around arresting Nazis and KKK members for speaking out. I saw no indication that they were intimidated and shut down by the counter-protesters. There isn't any free-speech issue going on here. It's like it's so fucking important to smear liberals and the left with accusations of violence and anti-free speech that they can't bring themselves to just say Nazis and the Klan are bad, period. They have to fucking add, 'but the left is just as bad'. We cannot go down the road where a big group of people are seriously saying Nazis are bad, but... That is the fucking darkest road there is.
I love making people read the "Children Are Dicks" story! Because it is so fucking accurate.
So, what is the socially appropriate response when a second cousin calls you "sexy" on your FB wall?

Monsters.
I got to hold a bunny at 5:30 this morning.
Mom's room has sliding doors out to the deck. Mom's cat is indoor/outdoor. Lovey the cat has brings mice in. This morning it was a young rabbit. Maybe teenage bunny
I'm the official Deal-with-the-creatures-brought-in person so I wrangled the bunny outside as gently as I could. It didn't look injured it went outside in a sheltered area. Lovey the cat was kept inside.
I told mom she needs to keep a flashlight by the door and check him before she lets him in. Also if he ever brings in a snake I'm not dealing with it.

Cringe and ignore it?
Jesus Christ, team member, this is not the time to raise questions about this thing we've been working on for months and months.
And for the three-fer:
Diamond shoes problem. I'm waiting on my car that's being serviced. The waiting room has water, but it's full of cucumbers. Ugh.
It's good working with adults.
Manager: Can you come back to my office?
Co-worker: Do you have candy?
Manager: I *do* have candy!
Co-worker: Oh, boy!
