Other than being mildly concerned that I didn’t read the terms and conditions of that perma lock before I clicked ‘next’, life is good with no complaints. I like how you got around the clauses of this meme by asking in old English, BTW. Very clever.

@bethorien How was your day? How are you feeling? *realizes after commenting that now I can never back out of your life*

Here’s a hint: pick being the lipstick. That way you can enjoy the caress of Emily’s lips while Chris has his hands all over you.

@aviva They’ve all been outrageous, but this recording sounded like he was reading a script so I question whether this one was real.

I am now so glad that we don’t live in a Bojack Horseman world where your description of rebellious giraffes carrying grudges could be a reality.

@xvarnah I meant I’ve never met someone who’s said, for example, ‘I’m a Gemini but the characteristics of a Gemini do not match my personality.’ Granted, someone who buys into it just a little bit is more likely to agree with the traits and the signs have enough blanket attributes to apply many people regardless of their sign (I.e., ‘your sign can sometimes be impatient but generally caring toward others’). But even among people who don’t believe in astrology, I’ve never heard someone say ‘my sign is just plain wrong’. Or even mostly wrong. Or even kind of wrong.
@spiderwoman Yes, I’m already aware of this and have seen the test done before. As with many things, knowledge of the ‘facts’ still doesn’t seem to change people’s minds about it.

@aviva Glad someone noticed I was gone, ha ha. On another note, I just now learned about the ‘someone mentioned you in...’ feature in your notifications. I just called the number on the flyer with the random man in the hot tub: ‘Hello, this is the Crimson residence. We’re not home right now so please leave a message. If you have any information about the man in the hot tub, we would appreciate it. He’s not harming anyone but it is concerning. My wife and I tried to pick him up and move him but he is very heavy and he is hard to move. Plus, my wife and I experienced severe rashes on our bodies where we touched him. So if you have any advice or words of encouragement, that’s something we would appreciate at this time. Thank you.’
@carql Please forgive me for posting about another subject on the wrong meme.

Imagine being a good enough bully to reflexively smash the kid’s face back into the cake the moment he thought he outsmarted you with a plate.

The tie would go at the bottom - assuming he is wearing contemporary clothing. Just like the style of today is to wear shirts that end at your collarbone and not your chin, a giraffe wearing current day clothes would have a shirt that ‘ends’ where his neck ‘begins’ and the tie would go there. If this were an historical era where people wore high-neck collars with ties (which would be anachronistic, but whatever), the tie might be higher on the neck. But we don’t do that today so, no, a giraffe’s tie in 2018 would certainly be tied at the bottom.

@aviva I went out of town for a long weekend and pretty much kept my phone off. My neighborhood is a little heroin-y so it was nice to get away from the madness for a bit. I’m now back to annoy, fact check, and make bad jokes. But thanks for asking. I am quite touched.

Considering AoT is anime, the writers can do whatever they want. In real life, however, I am now grossly disturbed and totally put off based on your insensitive comment by the thought of what you might do if you were ever in a position of power. Or maybe... I’m intrigued.

This probably wouldn’t work well, though. Most masochists in ‘healthy’ situations don’t endure constant, daily physical torture that could include broken bones, removed digits, malnourishment, or unhealthy lengths in solitary confinement. And there is usually a ‘build up’ and ‘let down’ in a *mutually agreed to* experience along with words or gestures to slow down or halt the situation if things go too far. So unless they worked out terms of the experience in advance and the torturer agreed to ease up after hearing a safe word, I don’t think this will be too effective. (I heard all of this from a friend.)
