That is enraging, Cashmere. I'm glad you have your friend's back.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Possibly also "I know you are progressive, but if you talk like that, people who do not know you as well as I do will think you're a racist because that is racist language."
That's good, I'm going to use that. They're very concerned about what others think of them (though they say they're not).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thank Christ, the Supremes managed to rule correctly on the case about employment discrimination and LGBTQ+ people.

That was wonderful news to come back inside to, and Gorsuch writing the the majority opinion was a big surprise to me!
A friend of mine was the victim of a racist incident, which she posted about and a friend of hers responded with "All lives matter." "Don't let one bad apple cloud your judgement."

"Bad apples should be removed from the barrel before they can spoil the rest."
That's the thing. Saying "only a bad apple" misses the whole point of the metaphor.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
anyone know what book it is that has a bit about two young girls being taken to a screening of Gone with the Wind where I think Mitchell is going to be? I am super bad at remembering books I've read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Osmonds fucked that up for everyone!!
Also, you don't need any context, but a higherup just sent a message that said, "I trust Jesse, that document is ready for proffing." [sic]

Ha!
I do not know that book.
I also don't know the Osmonds song but I am ok with blaming them
Here's a thing I don't understand. Why do my customers ask me to work with another group in their company to fix a problem the first group found. Why can't they just talk to each other and sort it out? I am literally just passing information from one to the other, I don't know what they need to do!

Also, why won't the one department in my company that apparently has anything to do with this problem answer my emails, if only to say that they don't know either
