tbh, "deflowered" sounds grosser to me than "rape", in this context. It's like spraying perfume at a cess pool: highlighting the ick by pretending to disguise it.

In other words, the term "rape" feels clinical and accurate to me. "Deflowered" feels emotional and super gross to me. Neither downplays it for me.

YMMV because emotions and feelings are like they are and your feelings are are as valid as mine.

Vivian is pretty chill from what I can tell.

TBD, we don't know how the milk product was labeled. If it was in a glass jar labeled "Pamela's milk, do not drink" would you still consider it assault if someone drank it?

(I've brought nut milk to work for my coffee in glass jars before with the label "my name. date". Would you consider it assault if someone with an almond allergy drank my white liquid, assuming it was cow milk?)

My demented grandma saw people that weren't there. My mom called them her "guardian angels" because that was better than calling them ghosts.

They helped her do things. Like, normally Grandma needed help getting to the restroom. One morning Mom found evidence she'd used the toilet in her own. Grandma said "oh, the angels helped me".

Anyways, dementia is weird.

They're giving "did they die of it or with it?" vibes. (actual thing I was asked about my father's COVID-19 death. Apparently since he was immunocompromised his death didn't 'count'.)

I'm glad you overcame that difficulty 💜

Wait, is the chart ”births per person” or ”per woman”? I was reading it as per person, so 1.08 per person would be about 2.16 per woman.

Edit: probably per woman. Lines up better with https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=JP . Grumble grumble numbers without units.

Libraries are where many folks go to to access government resources. My local DMV (department of motor vehicles) restricted services to by-appointment-only a few years back and, if you needed help making an appointment, their call center directed you to the local library. Note: they did not warn the local libraries they were doing this.

Anyways, you should have seen this asshole come in to get assistance. My co-worker helped him and was polite about it, but told me afterwards that he'd been spearheading the local "defund the library" initiative. Turns out we are good for something even if you buy your own books. Dickhead.

I'm on Windows 11 for work and am not happy about it. They took away my 2-level taskbar, among other regressions.

Same. I might be biased because my mom would get the frozen mac&cheese dinner and bake them, and the macaroni was always over done and grossly mushy. The cheese also tasted weirdly grainy.

That's just because you haven't met my label maker. It does the letters one at a time, manually, embossed into a strip of plastic.
