  The “unprofessional conduct” that he’s alerting us to is his own behavior, right?

  I read that and thought, “Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette.” And I was right.

  Men/women - nouns Male/female - adjectives

  I think the reason male and female get equated with biology is because biologists need to describe individuals in terms of characteristics within the species.

  Like, “I live with a small, white, female felis catus and a tall, Caucasian, male homo sapiens” is a weird way to tell people that I live with my cat and my husband outside of a scientific context.

  Congratulations on being a decent person even though your role model was not. It’s hard to break that cycle.

  This is my best-case scenario.

  If they catch the guy, obviously he should stand trial. That’s how the law works in the US. But I think that jury nullification could be the appropriate response to a trial.

  This guy might be the closest thing we have to a modern-day Robin Hood. And while we all agree that Robin Hood broke the law, no reasonable person wants to see the Sheriff of Nottingham win.

  This.

  My husband swears by his Nintendo Pro controller, but he also has historically liked Xbox controllers.

  Those options are too large to be comfortable in my hands, so I tend to go for undocked JoyCons and PlayStation controllers because they are better fits for me.

  I use a PS4 controller for PC gaming. I definitely wouldn’t buy a specific controller for my PC without actually holding a sample in my hands first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are multiple references to this in the Bible. This is the most uplifting one I found.

  Psalm 90 10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 11 If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due. 12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. 13 Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
