New (to me) kind of transphobia I encountered today while discussing how to protect a girl who'd been sexually assaulted.
"That older brother who lives in the home and we thought might help? Turns out she's actually a woman who WANTS to be a man. So doesn't really have the physique to protect."
And specifically my vacation somewhere else. Not someone else's vacation in my area.
Turn it into a tiny airplane or fortune teller of course.
I don't know. I expected to be put on hold for a second while I got routed to the right place or something. Maybe the person just answers the phone so much with the same greeting they sound robotic?

I look at that dog and this is all I can think of
Had a really disorienting experience the other day calling a hospital or something. And the first voice sounded like a bot and I gave my name and reason for calling and then immediately had a human respond? Like someone picks up the phone but there's a prerecorded greeting.
Rising gas prices may be the thing that pushes me over the edge to seriously look for a new job closer to home and doesn't require driving.
Sure it was your grandparents who bought the bowling shoes for you. Not a fashion mistake in your ska era.
Every time Platner tries to point out that he got his Nazi tattoo while in the military and it was not flagged by anyone, even in inspections, I don't feel anymore convinced he's not a nazi, but I do feel more convinced that our military has a nazi problem.
Google did not find me a barrel of oil with a monocle, but imagine I did find that picture and I labeled it "sophisticated oil."
Daughter turns on "Scared of the Dark" and Lil Wayne's verse comes on.
Her: who's this?
Me: Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne: And I'm married to my pride/ I ain't never never cried.
Her: Yeah he has pride. Cause everyone made fun of his voice in school.
Her: I bet even Post Malone made fun of his voice.
Also not really a fan of calling the electorate dumb. Especially in the context of "this would have worked if the voters were smart." OK? The voters are who they are. I guess next time aim your campaign at dumb voters?
A lot of people in here blaming leftists on this front. But what is a Rep endorsement of a Dem supposed to signal to voters already aligned left? Obviously, the goal is to bring in voters from the right. That didn't happen. And it alienated voters on the left. So, at the very least, a misstep.
If I had a million dollars I'd buy you a starter house
Basketball announcer "Why are you letting run to the corner to get a good stroke off?"
Man, that is between him and his significant other
It's really not too terrible. He's a great guy in a lot of ways. But hard to communicate with sometimes.
It's the price I must pay for free laundry and dinner
Uncircumcised? That's "roll up the rim to win"
One thing I love about my dad is the way he's completely impatient every time I talk and tries to complete my sentences, but is usually wrong.
Learning there is a player on the Vanderbilt men's basketball team named Chandler Bing.
Do the people who think chatbots are alive also worry that popcorn is angry at them because it's so loud?

Time to get that baby an iPad
Wow I did not know about that era. I did have a couple choose your own adventure books by R.L. Stine that I'm pretty sure predate his youth horror books.
School parking lot with cars lined up backing out to the street
Some schools (parking lots) will be hit.
Cars idling in a parking lot and out onto the small town road in a beautiful early spring day. No pictured are twice as many cars up closer to the school.
Had to go to a school in the last 30 minutes of the day. Now I'm stuck in my parking spot because the pick up line fills the whole lot and spills out onto the road.
It's like 75 degrees out. I had to do some driving around for work. Saw some Hawks and sandhill cranes. And a couple on their bikes. And I just want to go out and ride 😩
*kid banging on the door* dad i know you're on your phone in there. At 2cm per second you're at well over a meter of poop now.
My daughter wanted to watch Scrubs (she has a thing for old sitcoms) and decided within 10 seconds that she hates JD lol
Helping my daughter pick out some pants. And I've become the parent who says, "let me see" and sticks fingers in the waistband to see how tight or loose they are while my kid huffs and rolls her eyes.
