Right?? Private jet or no private jet, I would jump at the chance to just decree from on high that corporate HQ was now virtual. Like why make that much money and still enslave yourself to a commute?

Yeah I'm trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one's used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I'm the only one who doesn't call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.

How old is she? Our guy just turned 21 and he loves "jumping" but still doesn't get any air, not sure if he's behind or just doing his thing.

My in laws' garage door. Happy to report that after almost three weeks here he now yells "OPEN DOOR" and insists on pressing the button himself whenever he's brought to/from the car.

I definitely lean to the interpretation of incest. One thing I've learned from listening to theologians is that the language of the Bible is extremely deliberate, as well as highly self-referential. The fact that the phrase "the nakedness of his father" is used makes it almost certain that the reader is expected to take note of its appearance elsewhere in the Torah, and use that context to interpret the Genesis passage. Canaan is very likely a child of incest, just like other rivals of the Israelites are depicted as children of incest through Lot and his daughters.

My 9-month-old is just starting to get into assisted walking, and I always compare his attempts to QWOP. Only a couple people have gotten the reference and it makes me very sad.

This was the joke in my household as a kid, never not funny.

I grabbed the Batman pack off the Steam sale - Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. I had played Asylum on PS3 way back when but got stuck on one of the late game fights and never went back to it. Very fun, I'm a pretty casual gamer and it's good at making me feel capable even when I'm just doing average. Almost done Asylum and looking forward to getting into the other two.
