you might not mind too much if you lived in a time when women didn't have their own bank accounts or source of income not controlled by their husbands. it was actually a decent rule when it was the only thing of real value you truly owned and could sell if you needed to gtfo of an abusive relationship or give you a bit of breathing room if you were widowed suddenly (and your husband's family decided not to take care of you once he was gone).

but yes, now a days is definitely overkill.

Mississippi is the only state that doesn't specifically prohibit drinking and driving (as long as you stay below the 0.08% BAC)

aren't they also going to let ACA subsidies lapse, too? So, the total unnecessary deaths will certainly be higher...

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is bruised and spongy.

Or because it's not immediately recognizable as writing. I wonder how long it would have taken archeologists to figure out the quipu was actually a knot-based writing system without the Spanish mentioning their use by the Incas in their records of the invasion.

It's never too late; you're one of today's lucky 10,000!

my boyfriend and my mom both have that. makes for some fun dinners, since my dad is a super loud eater (tbh, even i get annoyed by my dad eating, lol). luckily, my mom trained me up in the ways of polite eating from like day one, so no friction on my behalf!

and they never have exactly what you need either. the number of times i've come home empty handed and had to buy online anyway is rediculous

As someone who both knits and crochets, I've stopped being bothered by people who confuse the two. I just don't have enough fucks to give anymore, and I can see how one who isn't familiar might confuse the two... But I draw the line at confusing crochet with cross stitch. Thank you for your pedantry.

One time when I was a little kid, my sister and i saw a huge spider crawling along on the floor very slowly. We screamed, and our dad came in and stepped on it. Thousands of billions of little baby spiders came pouring out. It was horrifying. And that's (one of the many) reasons why I don't kill spiders. If necessary, I will relocate them outside by trapping them with an upside down cup and sliding a coaster underneath to ensure secure transport (unless they jump, then I make my partner do it, lol).

herbs are just weeds that taste and/or smell good.
