@ReginaldVasDeferens Have you considered a middle-ground, where you say whatever you feel like, but let her know when you want her to keep it to herself? — Sarov 45 secs ago

@Mithical ? Was there something wrong with my comment?

Q: Please don't write answers in comments

I've been noticing a trend lately of people writing answers in the comment section. What does this mean? When you write an attempt to solve the OPs question - whether it's a fully fleshed out idea or not - and dump it in the comment box. This is not good. Answers in comments are detrimental to ...

Ah, fair. I originally intended it as just a comment but then turned it into an actual answer. I'll just delete the comment.

Don't comment in answers. Write please?

Tinkeringbell

Just don't.

Do you ever look over shorthand notes you wrote 1+ weeks ago and have just, *no* idea what they meant?
What exactly am I supposed to do with "sand politics"?

yeah, every single one of my notes I've ever taken

8:15 PM

@Mithical yeah that's a Hebrew thing from what I hear

That it's such a disorderly language it would bring out anxieties I didn't know I had

aha see that's where you're mistaken

I take notes in English

Who said English is orderly

absolutely nobody, at least nobody who has a good grasp of English

I don't bother with notes anymore

No time for that

Hmmm.
An argument could be made for the third definition... maybe?
"a soldier who carries out orders or performs minor tasks for an officer."

If you apply liberal use of personification and squint sideways.

But that's the norm for English, so!

Only your species can squint sideways

I can only lick piano buttons

I fail to see how this is my problem, hooman.

racist

*speciest

Speciest, technically.

no that's ghost peppers

8:20 PM

No I'm spiciester

Shh you saw nothing.

I sure tasted it

rude

Spicy coffee - good idea or abomination?

...no

Why not both

I think I will ruin another day if I had coffee now though

I feel constipated rereading that message

Which is a good thing if you're soaked and in the middle of a rainforest with dangerous animals and had some tree leaf with laxative properties beforehand

A scenario I'm sure many of us can relate to.

I have a coworker who is convinced it's the Next Big Thing(tm).

@Mithical you kids need to get out there, just sitting your butt on your comfy chairs and staring into a screen

Real men are made in the rainforests

With laxatives

I'll be sure to visit the real men factories
