This is especially true with xkcd.
- Comment on I don't think he's sorry 1 day ago:
Perhaps an amalgam.
- Comment on I don't think he's sorry 1 day ago:
He kinda looks like Qui-Gon Jinn.

So that’s why my wife’s member is so big!
- Comment on Peak male form 5 days ago:
It is unclear what vehicles he owns and operates, as well as how his wife feels about potentially derogatory words.
- Comment on Peak male form 5 days ago:
I was able to ascertain the meaning, but I enjoyed your summary regardless!
- Comment on Peak male form 5 days ago:
I know those words, but I don’t think they’re being used in a manner to which I’m accustomed.
- Comment on Peak male form 5 days ago:
So he can’t sing a shanty?
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 5 days ago:
I think the limited number of room transitions would stress me out, but I like the concept and love the punny name.
- Comment on AI boomer trait 1 week ago:
This was deeply depressing to read.
- Comment on Heh, poop. 1 week ago:
Yes.
Also, I like your username.
Also, your instance doesn’t really fit your comment.
- Comment on Heh, poop. 1 week ago:
I’m definitely sleep deprived because your username reminded me of Dresden Files because that’s where I learned the word insouciant.

Nice! I try to be generally positive and uplifting on this account, but I admit I wish I’d thought of this joke. It’s a good one.
- Comment on Pull to enter, you say? 1 week ago:
I’ve always been too terrified of bumping those to let the intrusive thoughts in.
The very first time I put my then-newborn to bed without anyone else present, I accidentally bumped the back/top of their head against the top frame of their bedding area. They made the saddest expression then started screaming their despair. Even if I hadn’t been worried about it before then, I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so much guilt or apologized so much, nor been so worried about long term consequences (to their development, not to myself).
Fortunately, they seem to be developing well and, though I can’t forget that happening, I very much doubt they even remember it to be upset.

I haven’t really had time or enough commitment to listen to a podcast in a long while, but if I can find either I’ll give this a shot, as it sounds interesting. Thank you!
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
No disagreement here! I watched it a few times as a kid. I probably would feel similarly to how my wife does if I had first seen it as an adult.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
That’s plausible (lots of mean names are bandied about in the movie) and your reaction is understandable. I’m sorry for bringing up the memory.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 2 weeks ago:
Half the reason I love Drop Dead Fred so much is because my wife hates it so much.
- Comment on Flipping the switch 2 weeks ago:
No wonder you do it twice a day.
- Comment on Flipping the switch 2 weeks ago:
My mom had kidney disease. She was on dialysis for a long time, meaning that for most of the night she was attached by catheter to a machine. My room was the closest to hers, so more than once she needed something in the middle of the night but was unable to travel far enough to get it, thus knocking on my door and requesting assistance. As I was a teenager at the time, at least once I was stoking my bram.

You have done a much better job of explaining than anticipated and I hereby express my gratitude.
- Comment on Fresh 2 weeks ago:
It’s not surprising that it could be deadly, but I was always told the reason was olfactory in nature.
Wait … Explain the ninja turtles!
- Comment on Fresh 2 weeks ago:
My friend posited that the amount in the sewers would be likely to be less than that in the ambient air and therefore worth attempting if desperate.
I don’t know much of anything about sewers, but you don’t really smell things around manholes, do you? (My anosmia prevents me from answering this with confidence.) If not, it would make sense to presume there’s some kind of seal on them. If that’s the case, the outlet would be the primary inlet for gas. I don’t know enough about gas attacks or drainage to say whether that’s a problem.
If I’m ever unable to breathe ambient air or escape the area, I’ll try to remember to attempt this and get back to you.
- Comment on Fresh 2 weeks ago:
Nice.
- Comment on Fresh 2 weeks ago:
When I was first informed that this was possible, it was suggested as a way to get breathable air if your city suffered a gas attack or similar.

Just because she’s leading in a disappointing manner doesn’t mean she’s not leading, to be fair.

TIL
Forbes revised its estimate of Holmes’s net worth to zero
Ouch.
Fortune named her in its feature article on “The World’s 19 Most Disappointing Leaders”.
Ouch again. Maybe consistent fashion isn’t the path to popularity?
