@starbreaker I remember visiting my mom at work in the '80s and they had amber-on-black terminals on their desks. I like to think they knew something about eyestrain, but I guess it's more likely that this was just on account of amber being the "futuristic" color back then.
Stolen from twitter:
"What ever happened to civility?"
"You labeled it 'political correctness' and decided it was something bad."
This is what happens when I'm bored, since middle school or so. I don't know why. I also can't do it without lined paper for some reason. #art #stupidmeatbrain
I really dislike labels, to the point where I don't even want to describe myself to people. I get why they're useful to some people, but I don't like reducing my identity in that way, because it gives people only a small part of the picture, and they usually make incorrect assumptions.
Wait, what. Windows 10 sends info on USB devices plugged in directly to Microsoft?
And it does that using pure HTTP?

You gotta be kidding me.
The jeans I've been buying for the last 5ish years (Chaps Daniella Curvy Fit) appear to have been discontinued. They fit me so perfectly that rather than look for a replacement, I am looking into learning to sew so I can make my own copies.
hey parents, if you're ever considering teasing your children, consider this advice:

I ran out of my allergy meds a few days ago and have not bothered to get more, so I have an obnoxious headache today. This is not very strange in itself. What IS a bit strange is that... well, the auras I see are normally white or yellow, but today they are mostly pink, with some blue and green. Yay.
Ridiculous ignorant thing that upsets me #4741: People photographing those sheer Edwardian gauze dresses (or reproductions thereof) with nothing (or almost nothing) underneath. THEY DIDN'T WEAR THEM LIKE THAT. THEY HAD LIKE 3 LAYERS OF FABRIC UNDERNEATH.
Go to bed on time, get rewarded at 3am with a splitting headache. Oh well.
Whew, he wasn't offended. Crisis averted.
Argh I just phrased something terribly in a work email and am dying while I wait to see whether or not anyone is offended.
So apparently there's a special level of limbo for production software running on beta configurations. Nobody wants to touch this thing with a ten-foot pole.
I went way too long without buying any new bras, and forgot what a tight band feels like. Yay for actual support, but RIP my ribs.
Oh boy. #SQLite's #CodeOfConduct, is, um, based on St Benedict's 72 Rules for running a monastic order from 1,500 years ago....
🙄🙄🙄
Most #CoC's prohibit religious discrimination, this suggests adherence to Christian monastic principles....

@generica I remember that after reading Lolita my main thoughts were (1) what a horrible story, and (2) why do people seem to think this is such a great book? Underwhelming, though I didn't have any personal experiences remotely close to it. Tess is a different story, and I'm having to pace myself. Maybe it's because the book is from her perspective?
So after reading this (http://lithub.com/men-explain-lolita-to-me/ -- CW for sexual assault on that) I decided to finally read Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Honestly I was able to dissociate a bit as I read Lolita, but this one is hitting a little closer to home.
