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'm seeing a lot of memes where someone's holding their hand in what I learned as the OK symbol, thumb and forefinger touching, rest of hte fingers spread out. So what's it mean now?
That depends on who is doing it. The nazi-bros have turned it into a thing, but I know people who've done it as a "made-you-look" thing for years.

From context it seems to related to pregnancy or sex. When it's up and in full view, it's been the OK, but I've also seen it as a low-positioned "my smirk says I'm doing something rude, hur-hur, but it isn't clear so I can't get in real trouble" thing since I was in grade school.
Change it to architects, and I'd be super for that.
Add in Engineers and my department will be in.
Connie, the "sex" version of the hand gesture tends to include the index finger of the other hand as well, doing the.. uh... gesturing. And there's a "white power" version too - I think it uses the left hand, palm facing in, back of the hand facing out, so that the fingers look like a "W" and a "P", but I'm not sure about that one (what with not be a white supremacist and all).
OK, makes stupid sense. I saw a Zootopia meme where the bunny is talking to the fox andmaking the gesture with her right hand, calling attention to it, and all the comments were about how of course she was worried about being pregnant with a fox's baby. I really dislike when I don't understand conversations being held in my birth language.
The white power people have taken over the OK hand sign. I can't even make that gesture anymore.
If they're just holding the fourth finger, not the index finger (which I picture ok being an f in the ASL alphabet, done with index finger), then it's the shocker. Which yes, is dirty.
Timelies all!
Tired. Stressed. In other words, a normal day.
The maintenance staff here is apparently psychic. My garbage disposal has been making rougher noises than usual, but I decided it was me just not being used to disposals. I came home tonight to a note on my sink from the maintenance people saying the noise from the disposal was normal.
I do not know how they thought to check. It's a garage below me, and I can't imagine any of my neighbors could hear the disposal, much less care. I thought it was part of a scheduled check of the smoke detector, but my building supposed to be done tomorrow, not today, and if they've checked the disposal on the filter change days, they never mentioned it. And the note said it was in response to a request I'd made. But I'd never made one, even though I was considering it. It's a little freaky. I'm not going to say anything about it, because it's something I'm glad to know and it looks like all procedures were followed. Just weird.
