- Hit me with your rhythm stick. Hit me! Hit me! Je t'adore, ich liebe dich, -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 20:25
- "Hit me up" = contact me. "He hit me up" = generally a request for something(money) -- nm - Meg Oct 28, 20:11 2

Alrighty, finished my 3rd rewatch of the Expanse. Now I just have to wait for the 4th season to come out, then I can read the 4th book. - Beryllium Oct 28, 18:54 2

- serious q: how do actors decide where to canvass? where dems have best chance of winning? where they're from? -- nm - amanda Oct 28, 16:56 8
  - My guess is there’d be some dialogue between the campaign and the celebrity about where to go, availability etc. -- (edited) - Roger More Oct 28, 18:35

    - right? so why there? -- nm - amanda Oct 28, 17:06 2
      - My guess is they go where the parties need or want the push the celebrity can bring. -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 17:26 1
        
        It may also depend on what candidate or race the celeb wants to support. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 18:40

  - yeah but that was minor. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 16:34
Foxy was late on that one (and why is the crowd in the dark? are they hiding empty seats?) - Tim Oct 28, 16:24
