"I was 24, the woman he was involved with was about the same age" Next paragraph: "pulled that woman" So, yeah, I can't see how it could be the third woman on the bus, who is only mentioned in passing in the beginning. If that's the intent, it's not made clear at all.

I feel like Internet Discourse has done a toxic thing of framing "just asking questions" as inherently bad faith to dodge the fact that some situations do, in fact, raise valid questions.

Always fascinating to be in the midst of a traffic clusterfuck where every tenth person decides rules don’t apply to them, so they do some crazy shit that makes traffic worse.

I mean, for contrast, while I think this house is gaudy as fuck and the cybertruck in the driveway photo is VERY ON BRAND for the whole vibe, this at least feels like the sort of home that $5million should buy? This giant thing with a few acres and an actual view costs LESS than the other one.

I mean, just look at that neighborhood density. Who that is spending nearly $6million is going to want that? And the same builder/seller has SEVERAL MORE in the same price range in that neighborhood. I don't understand who this is for.

Also, not pictured here (for good reason) are the children's bedrooms, which are wedged in the slant of the roof, so the ceiling is under 5 feet high on one end. You would have to move out once your kids hit puberty. BRILLIANT.

I really wonder, who is it going, "You know, I'd like to spend nearly six million on a home, but on a tiny lot with no privacy at all. But give me ALL THE WINDOWS so everyone can watch me and I'm always looking in my neighbors' yards. Sounds like bliss."

I've been thinking for the past few weeks about this "luxury" home I saw in South Austin, priced at over $5 million, where there's a ridiculous amount of window, which is fine if you've got an isolated property, but absurd in a tightly packed division where your neighbors are right on top of you.

It’s not a great movie either way, but the Directors Cut of The Butterfly Effect was a far more interesting, darker movie with an ending that surely terrified Hollywood execs. The theatrical cut was just sorta… there.

When I went to college I did consider using that moment to just go by “Ryan”, but decided against it. Ironically, a good chunk of SFFdom tends to call me “Ryan” regardless.

I had a friend in college who kept trying to make “Lester” work as a nickname, saying “some people call me Lester”, but no one did.

A guy from China in my college dorm didn’t “pick” a Western name, some dude in Immigration just decided he was “Jimmy”, which was he name on all legal documents.

I read something — which MAY be wildly inaccurate— claiming that just about every Great Director has some long-standing (and usually female) editor who has often been the one that pulls together the great films we attribute to said directors.

I mean-- at least my LIGOP relatives-- there's a whole "why do I gotta pay taxes for that" vein where otherwise their attitudes on a lot of single points tend to be center-to-center-left? But yet, they don't want to pay taxes.
