No. Because, although I don’t have an account there anymore, but I still read there using Redlib.
- Comment on Please don't deny that women are obsessed with shoes 18 hours ago:
I had a co-worker who had one closet just for shoes, over three hundred pairs. Wore a different pair every day, and cleaned the shoes after work.
I never saw him wear the same pair twice. He had something to say about every pair.

Some do.
- Comment on How soon do you get there? 18 hours ago:
Once, when I was flying on stand-by, I missed a flight because it was full, and had to spend ~14 hours in the Honolulu airport, because I couldn’t afford to get a motel room, or anything else. All I had in my pocket was the return ticket. All I had was the water from the water fountain. The next flight I got the very last seat, and it was in the smoking section. Ugh. But, I took it. Fortunately, I was so exhausted from getting almost no sleep the previous day, I slept through the entire flight. It took hours to clear that shit out of my lungs.
This was 40 years ago.

I mean, maybe? Big corpo business certainly has the ear of our government agencies. I wouldn’t be surprised if the request was made, and granted for an extra, generally unnecessary hour added to the recommendation.
- Comment on That thing critics of gay 'marriage' were promised wouldn't happen keeps happening 1 day ago:
Another city has taken legal steps to legitimize romantic relationships comprising 3 or more people.
OH NOES!
Why does this matter to anyone?

- Comment on Frog and Toad go to Mars 3 days ago:
As some who has barely ever drank, never smoked anything and never used any other recreational drug, I find I know a lot about drug use, simply through osmosis (roommates, GFs, co-workers), reading, movies, etc. Or, at least more than I would expect.
- Comment on You've Just Been Hit By The Metric System Boys 4 days ago:
We all know it’s a much better system. Reagan killed our attempt at switching. No one has tried since.
Personally, I use metric for 3D printing, and I use imperial for wood working. Until standardized material sizes change, it doesn’t make sense to use metric for wood working. That change needs to come from the top, from government regulation.
- Comment on Who came up with the phrase "coming out of the closet" to describe homosexuals admitting they are gay? Why not coming out of the kitchen or coming out of the bedroom? 4 days ago:
The closet is where Narnia is.

- Comment on relationship 4 days ago:
“Alcohol. The cause of, and solution to all of life’s problems.” ~Homer, the philosopher.
If you’re not good in relationships, it’s best to figure that out, and accept it sooner rather than later. Also, blaming the end of a relationship entirely on the other person, and going on blissfully unaware of your own issues is a good way to repeat your failures. It takes two to tango, take responsibility for your half of the relationship and your mistakes. Decide whether you want to change those things about yourself, if that’s even possible, and be aware of what you do in relationships when picking your next potential mate.

I don’t mind it. I mostly block out whatever is playing over the PA in stores, anyway.

I expect she’s sick of hearing her own song in this universe. I dunno how often she performs it live, if at all, but that would add to the misery.
Not sick of the royalties, mind you, just of hearing the song.
- Comment on Anon has a proposal for you 5 days ago:
It all depends on this “hut”. Is it made of straw, wood, or bricks?
If that t-rex isn’t getting fed, I’m not sure even bricks would keep it out, though. It ain’t no wolf.

Papasan chair. Originally made of sturdy rattan, and the seat bowl was separate from the base, allowing it to change in angle. Yes, the cheap versions are crap.
The papasan chair gained popularity in the west when American World War II veterans brought them home from Asia. During the 1960s, the chairs became a favorite among college students due to their low price and unconventionality. The chair was introduced by Pier 1 Imports in 1975 and soon became one of the retailer’s iconic products. Towards the end of the twentieth century, the papasan had become a common piece of furniture in American homes.

I suppose there was a time when a stool in a phone booth wouldn’t be stolen immediately? Maybe that was a time when people were paid an actual thriving wage? Or maybe it was just an affluent area. I dunno, but that was interesting to me.
