Stephin Merritt is the greatest songwriter of my generation. My favorite song is "100,000 Fireflies" but another good one to start with is "All My Little Words".
My favorite local band is Chicago's Zapruder Point. The song that got me hooked was "You Are Not Your Own" but my favorite overall is the heartbreaking "Big Sister (I Never Had)".
PSA: All the links I posted have their tracking info trimmed off, which is best practice when sharing links.
You could wait a couple days to repost, y'know?
Yes it's a slur. Slurs work like this: "You are like {minority group} and {minority group} is bad so you are bad." It's an insult to the individual addressed and an entire group of people at the same time.
It's actively trying to smother other wikis
It's full of ads and trackers
This is called "begging the question". You're asking why something is true when you haven't even established if that thing is true.
If I have to rent a car, it's too far.
If I have to take an intercity bus, it's too far.
An intercity train ride over three hours is also too far.
Came here to say.
Angels with Dirty Souls
Image my disappointment upon becoming old enough to rent R-rated movies and finding out the only one I wanted was fictional.
It was a clear send-up of "America's Funniest Home Videos" at the time.
In Christianity it's definitely Easter and Holy Week in general. After that, Christmas, Pentecost, Ash Wednesday, and All Saints. I would argue that theologically Christmas should be lower in priority, but culturally it's very important.
I once sneezed so hard while lying down that my sock flew off.
Like you, I use a handkerchief. If I'm wearing a T, I might instead lift up the collar and sneeze down the front of my shirt. More gross for me but more hygienic for everyone else around. The third option is to drop into a crouch and sneeze into my elbow between my knees, funnelling it towards the floor.
I would rather do one big sneeze than lots of little sneezes, though.
No worries, I told it to my coworkers!
