Old friend drama, yeesh. I'll skip the story for now and say this: plenty of nerds have not figured out that in the age of the internet, wittiness is abundant and low-value. Consideration and respect, however, are still pure gold.

Autumn weather? Here it's 86F/30C, bright sun with less than the usual great air quality, due to the fires 200 MILES NORTH OF HERE. There's a storm front that may get here by Thursday (current 5 day forecast under 50% chance of rain). Autumn?

...and a follow-up comment:

Here's a potential rule of thumb (via a fiendish thingy's comment upthread): Mansplaining when doing it to women, Whitesplaining when doing it to POC, Whitemansplaining when doing it to WOC, Cissplaining when doing it to Non-Cis, and when you do it to persons of your own category OR don't care what they are: just SPLAINING.

And there's a not-too-broad line between MeFi's already-defined "beanplating" and Splaining.

In MeFi's thread about "Mansplaining", this is my most favorited comment in MONTHS...

Most of this is PAINFULLY TRUE, but this one is actually funny:

When women sing
"They did the Mash"
And then the guy chimes in
"They did the *Monster* Mash"
That's called Wolfmansplaining.

Well here's a chart on relative Scoville Units of major branded hot sauces sriracha2go.com/blogs/the-spic It's a Sriracha FanSite but Huy Fong isn't high on the list, which explains why my Very Gringo Taste Buds accepted it so quickly (but also the identifiable garlic side taste)

@Vers Some of us are lemming and some have lemmed long ago.
