-oid is like -esque, in that it describes something that resembles the root word, without actually being it.

It’s also one of those self-selection things though :)

It stands for female humanoid and is exactly as dehumanizing as it sounds

I might be boring, but I would hate a climbing gym first date. It’s public and easy to leave, but requires certain clothing, involves weird contortions and angles, and I’d get red and sweaty af. I’m not especially femme (so no makeup problems), but that’s still a recipe for self consciousness for me.

Obviously if you float it beforehand and they accept, that’s great (and they’re probably more what you’re looking for), I would just not suggest that as an extension of a coffee date. I could see it going either way from your comment, so I just wanted to note it.

It acts like a pipe cleaner, basically.

I don’t know, but for me it depends on my menstrual cycle. Given my bum gallbladder, it used to take a lot longer sometimes, but with my current diet, it’s significantly more consistent.

But it sounds like you probably get enough fiber :)

I think fiber is way more important than people realize. I’ve been a vegan for a few years, and it takes me about 40 seconds to have a complete, satisfying shit. On a really bad day, sometimes it’s two minutes, but that’s pretty uncommon. I feel so much better because of it (I’ve also got a bum gallbladder, so cutting out animal fats was great for me, but might not be as positive for others)

But do you want that document published now in the world we live in today?

The production details for nuclear weapons are on a government document.

Right, I’m saying $25 will be the floor for coffee that’s currently $6, not that $25 coffee will be unaffected by the market

Chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, tea, bananas, and a fuckload of other things that are completely integrated into our regular diets are almost exclusively imported.

Soon that’ll be the cheapest you can get it

Real talk for hope: the more complicated institutions fall first. That’s bad news for people depending on the coast guard, but good news for people who are attacked by the now paper dragon

Yeah, I just think there’d be unexpected and violent consequences

Vance and Johnson are right there behind him though. I don’t know that they’d just watch that happen, and I don’t trust that the propaganda machine that just gave the other branches of government to the republicans wouldn’t also lead to a massacre of any politicians left of (somehow, literally) dick Cheney

I mean, has the British empire fallen completely yet? I feel like as long as Oxbridge keep their cachet and the BBC is still (somehow) internationally respected, the British empire isn’t dead.

But I’m definitely not a historian and maybe Britain will stay an empire until Ireland is reunited and independent or maybe the empire crashed as soon as India gained independence.

I wonder if a cup pressed against the wall counts as tech

In the other direction from most of them here, “Losing my Religion” hit a lot harder before I realized it was just about anger.

Taylor, who was born in Japan and lived there until he was 16

Dude learned the wrong lessons about how to deal with institutional racism

I drink my coffee black and don’t have a huge sweet tooth, but I take my (black) tea like it’s candy: a lot of sugar and milk. I’m not a huge fan of tea, but it occasionally hits the spot perfectly. My late mom drank tea (with lots of sugar and milk), so it’s probably more about nostalgia than anything else
