I honestly thought “The After Party” was a movie—Apple TV has been hyping it for so long…it’s a show. Probably not going to invest whatever hours -- nm - Flavorize Jan 28, 15:03
poll: Do you have a surround system setup (not just audio bar)? Do you use it more for tv or for music? -- nm - Max Jan 28, 14:59 6

- No but I want one -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 15:54
- Yes and no - Reagen Jan 28, 15:16
- Used to…took it down since the wiring was a pain. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 15:12
- no -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 15:05
- No. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:04
We're dealing with a potentially sensitive China issue right now. I suppose humming to this earworm is not the right mindset. -- (link) - Max Jan 28, 14:44 [youtube] 3
- Baron, can you accept this scrimmage for me? -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:46 2
  - Whoops, wrong spot. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:47 1
    - But I found it because my team is good at passing. -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 28, 15:15
"There is another matter, one I am reluctant to..." "Andrei, you've blocked *another* shipping lane??" -- (link) - Max Jan 28, 14:38
one more subpoena ! -- (link) - mud Jan 28, 14:31
I may or may not have listed to The Veronicas' Untouched an unhealthy number of times today -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 14:28 2
- See if you like this -- (link) - Max Jan 28, 14:48 [youtube] 1
  - yup. that's a fun song. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 15:04
DTL: live look at me seeing the recruit reveal -- (pic) -- (edited) - spamlet Jan 28, 14:25 [Attachment] 3
- 6/6, 2/2, 1/1, CL with 1 potential radar -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:42 1
  - And this team is maddening. Winning but winning ugly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:42
- My 3 max are 4/4, 2/2, 2/2. I had a 4th max, but stopped spending because his stats went to pot. Have a clear lead on him :D - Baron Enero Jan 28, 14:32
oh fashion designers, they got them some ideas -- (link) - Reagen Jan 28, 14:23 4
- I thought it would be odd but still nice. I hate it so much. Hate. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 15:09
- I, um, don't hate it. Maybe I watch too much Project Runway. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 14:30
- Those are the best “I’m still getting paid for this, right?” faces. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 28, 14:24

Woot! Got an Adam Savage retweet of my post about using the Savage Industries apron while throwing pottery. -- nm - TWuG Jan 28, 14:20
Michigan School District: There are no litter boxes in bathrooms for students who identify as furries. -- (link) - Qale Jan 28, 14:00 12
- But where are the actual school cats supposed to go now? -- nm - Max Jan 28, 14:22
- Can't they just pretend they're toilet trained furries? -- nm - .💭 Jan 28, 14:18 1
  - They can go during recess. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 14:20
- bathrooms available to the students should be listed as one of these 3 options: Men, Women, Other -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 28, 14:16 6
  - I’m sure ‘other’ is definitely not right. I’m also sure that they’d much rather have it as students, teachers, admin. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 14:18 4
    - unisex for your options are fine. I don't give a shit if they don't like 'other'. they are the ones creating words for no-existant sexes -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 28, 14:22 3
      - This is where I’m getting off this portion of the thread. You’re on your own here. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 14:28 1
        
        :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 28, 14:56
      - who or what you want to sleep with should have nothing to do with where you piss or crap. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 28, 14:23
  - the new design is airplane style closet bathrooms. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:17
- this being a sideshow to the freakout about "the epidemic" of trans and non-binary kids, I actually have some stats about that - Reagen Jan 28, 14:15
- Why not? It's much more efficient, ergonomically speaking, and conserves water. The only real issue is ... - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:14
Crash, JD ? -- (pic) - Meg Jan 28, 13:55 [Attachment] 1
- 🤣 -- nm - JD Jan 28, 13:56
If you're in the path of the storm don't forget to charge your phone, tablet, and sex toys. - Todd Manning Jan 28, 13:51 2
- Frankie MacDonald never mentions them either. -- (link) - Qale Jan 28, 14:14 [youtube]
- In that order? - ReluctantCynic Jan 28, 13:55
(deleting any Twitter cookies also fixes the aggressive login request) -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 13:49
**sigh** - Meg Jan 28, 13:40 6
- local group had someone post this experience.... - zeitgeist Jan 28, 14:59

- Isn't that going backwards at this point? -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 13:44 1

  - Is it, though? -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 13:46
Squirrels ate the wiring inside of our Nissan Pathfinder parked in our driveway. I mean there is a whole bunch of trees and a whole bunch of squirrels - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 13:37 12
- Welcome to the club! They've done that to me and I think at least one other STer. -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 28, 15:14
- Yeah, that’s right. Squirrels did it. -- nm - Nissan Jan 28, 14:19
- Most squirrels are real jerks. -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 14:01 [yarn]
- I've been warning you. -- nm - The Dog Jan 28, 13:50
- and squirrels are a huge pain to kill & clean for eating -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 28, 13:47 2
  - The old Joy of Cooking had instructions on how to do it. -- nm - .💭 Jan 28, 14:19
  - tastes like chicken -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 14:12
- Yeah we got lucky with whatever critter was in the kids car this summer that it was only one wire. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 13:41
- Little jerks. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 28, 13:41

Finally. - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 28, 13:32
If I'm understanding Joy Behar, she doesn't want Spotify to dump Joe Rogan, but we should definitely boycott Spotify? -- (link) - Mop Jan 28, 13:25 8
- No, if you disagree with Rogan, you can not listen or boycott. Nothing new and nothing outrageous. He has the right to say what he wants. We have the right to ignore him or boycott even. -- nm* - .💭 Jan 28, 16:00
- Did you see kilbo's issue with the patreon feed and Overcast? - spamlet Jan 28, 13:37 3
  - I'll have to investigate. We don't do anything special with Patreon so I would have to assume it's a universal problem between Patreon and Overcast. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 13:43 2
    - Nope, I have another Patreon feed that works fine. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 13:44 1
      - And (at least today) Pocketcasts can’t find my feed either. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 13:46
- I try not to put too much effort into understanding her. - Beryllium Jan 28, 13:28
- There’s a fine line between cancelling a person and boycotting their employers - Will Hunting Jan 28, 13:28 1
  - I get the whole "If you don't like it, don't give them your money" philosophy, but in the end, that company wants your money. - Mop Jan 28, 13:33
Would it be a fair statement that the most fortunate person involved in Sex and the City (and sequel) is Kim Catrall for not being involved? - Will Hunting Jan 28, 13:24
Paper-Shortage Plot Proves Pitiful. Texas League of Women Voters gets 10,000 registration forms. Dems supply paper for Voter Reg. Cards. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 13:19
Now watching The Woman in the House... It's absurb, but these movies are always absurd so it doesn't seem too exaggerated. - Andie Jan 28, 13:07 5
- they lost me at the spoil -- (edited) - mud Jan 28, 13:11 1
  - (sppoil) -- nm* - Spawn Jan 28, 13:14

These. These are some fucking bangs. -- (link) - Reagen Jan 28, 12:54 [Image] 12
- She bangs -- nm - Ricky Jan 28, 13:01 1
  - She bop -- nm - Cindi Jan 28, 13:01
- I think one can never go wrong with bangs—for guys, it can be weird because it’s more of a thinning hair thing —but women seem to pull off way more -- nm - Flavorize Jan 28, 13:00 4
  - Yep. There is definitely a weird Dudley Moore thing for men, but my hair is pretty got-dang long. -- (link) - Dark Callisto Jan 28, 13:06 3
    - I almost thought this was David’s hair. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 13:26 1
      - At my age, I'm just happy to have any at all. -- nm - David Jan 28, 14:38
    - I googled “long hair bangs” and it came up with an article of 42 looks—they all look pretty good. I think it softens faces—by having bangs -- (edited) - Flavorize Jan 28, 13:20
- Bangs. -- (link) - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 28, 13:00 [youtube]
- I sort of low key love it though. I think you can buy fake bangs on Amazon. -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 12:58 3
  - Like bang extensions? -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:59 2
    - Okay Cousin It -- nm - Max Jan 28, 14:18
    - no. Lock it in towards the back, flip it forward and pull your other hair around it. I saw it on Tik Tok. snort. -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 13:00

  - like it's stupid, but it's exactly their kind of stupid. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 12:54 1
    - 100% -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 12:55
I think a key historical learning that will come out of now is that we really fumbled by not installing a global regulatory body in charge of - rollo Jan 28, 12:40 8
- I'm not so sure. Not everyone buys into liberal values like free speech, and the limitations on free speech that are accepted in democratic countries - Roger More Jan 28, 13:11 1
  - I agree it was an impossibility -- nm - rollo Jan 28, 13:15
- We really need proof of alien life. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 12:45 5
  - The very tenor of life on this planet has changed in our lifetimes, because of the internet. And in a frightful irony, our connectedness divides us -- nm - rollo Jan 28, 12:48 4
    - You're pacing on a stage with one of those little headsets right now, aren't you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 13:07
    - *whoa* -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 12:59
    - Give us a common "enemy". - Spawn Jan 28, 12:50 1
      - Let's not get all Ozymandias up in here. We have a common enemy already; two, in fact. But there's too much profit in keeping us divided. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 13:26
LIR: SITV. It's only the patreon feed. The regular SITV feed works fine in overcast. -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 12:34 6
- Oh, I just use Patreon. I click the link in the "early access" email. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:45 5
  - Yeah, that works. I can do that if I remember/think of it to listen early -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 12:57
  - Ummmm....aren't you ON THE PODCAST?? don't you recall the content? - St. Epiphany Jan 28, 12:49 3
    - David's new to this whole "technology" thing... ;) -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 13:09
    - We record for a couple of hours. I never know what will make the final content. Plus, I like Kim's voice. - David Jan 28, 13:04 1
