I know idioms don’t necessarily have to make sense, but how were you imagining getting down to a tax? Like it was at the bottom of a list of taxes or something?

If you really want to get down to brass tacks about it, the movie was saying love can transcend appearance, not necessarily sex. Loving relationships don’t have to include gargling beast balls, so I’d say the adult hot take is still valid.

You know how lemmy or xyz social media is people posting their thoughts directly so you kinda get a look into their brains? And maybe there’s a pic or vid or some other link to accompany it to support the topic of their post. Imagine that but it’s entire websites basically built from the ground up with what one lone person believed was aesthetically appropriate to communicate their ideas or passions.

And nothing was centralized so there might’ve been a hundred time cube variations but no one ever found them because they weren’t linked on anyone’s webrings. It was all beautiful terrible madness.

wonder if he had that dog dong that inflates

Didn’t he give someone a horse after sexually harassing them?

Or if OP is concerned about being too frivolous with money and is under 40 (more ideally under 30) with a college degree, it’s really damn easy to get a job teaching English in Japan. These days most of those positions pay peanuts but it’s enough to live on and you generally have enough free time to go around and see some things in a new place.

Figured I’d err on the side of caution. If you work with art it’s probably fine. Otherwise if someone sees random sideboob (art or not) walking by your computer at the office, they might complain about it.

Like a bikini isn’t illegal or amoral in the states either, but if you put up a bikini poster in your cube I bet someone would have something to say.

Woildn’t the fact that the phrase “public holiday” is widely used imply the exact opposite of what you said?

A large part of it is our broken medical system. If you slip on something at a store and break a bone, you could be out 10s of thousands if uninsured. The only way you don’t lose everything you own is to sue the store where you slipped.

I predict we’ll have FTL travel before we can invent a stick that’s “unfoldable”.

English can be confusing too-- just look how many homophones we have! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNTM9iM1eVw

Japanese: you guys have plurals?

Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:

In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?

“Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”

The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.

Horse shoe theory still doesn’t work-- you have to change to the stethoscope model to include tankies

I think it means dead as in trying to live in a 100° environment. Kind of like the survival rule of 3s, where you can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 hours in an extreme environment, and 3 minutes without air.

I guess it could say “unsustainable” instead of dead, but that’s less snappy.
