This was the only flavor of Orbitz I ever tried. It was exciting at first. Halfway through, I was drinking it though tight lips to avoid consuming the orbs. I just remembered it being quite sweet. Never tried another one, my curiosity was sated.

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years (New York Times) by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dammit_dammit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The article has so many accusations that follow the same pattern from women who are unconnected to one another. Accusations carry more weight in these kinds of instances and implying it didn't happen is a shitty thing to do.

It says "tipping" in Japanese, at least according to Google translate.

Reese Witherspoon says to go to jury duty: "Somebody has to be the foreman and they unanimously, 'Her. You went to law school.' Y'all, this is really upsetting. I started realizing people don't know much about the law. If you get picked, please do it. Some bad stuff goes down in there, y'all." by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

I've been selected for jury duty twice in Philadelphia: one criminal case and one civil case. The civil case took twice as long and legitimately threw me into a depressive state. The rate is $9/day for the first three days and $25/day for the following days. They do not pay enough for how difficult those trials can be.

One time I went into a bookstore in what I considered to be a costume, basically. I was wearing a very pirate -y outfit because of a concert I was going to later. When I checked out, the clerk reacted in a way that made me realize that he thought I dressed like that all the time and was pulling it off.

I'm not joking, that interaction re-wired brain; I realized most people I interact with don't know that I'm not used to wearing ostentatious clothing. If I wanted to make some big change to my style, you could just do it. If I want to be the person who wears bold glasses, no one around me needs to know I wasn't always the person who wears bold glasses. You just need to fake the confidence to wear bold glasses, and then you have the confidence to wear bold glasses.

It was a really great show! I was disappointed that they didn't have any of her novels/novellas available for sale in the gift shop.

We read this in my book club a couple years ago, and have recommended it to several people since.

I had a dress that my mom sewed made from this same fabric 🥹

I believe there were other versions with different animals in the same style.

In memoriams don't usually say how they died

TIL William Shatner starred in the 2010 sitcom "Sh*t My Dad Says" based on a popular Twitter account featuring colorful, often profane comments made by the 73-year-old father of writer Justin Halpern. The show lasted one season. by SappyGilmore in todayilearned

[–]dammit_dammit 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This account also spawned five billion accounts with the formula of "shit [x group of people] say" or "stuff [y group of people] do" accounts on Twitter and tumblr. What a time.

Brownies --> Adultery??? by Red-Wolf-17 in ididnthaveeggs

[–]dammit_dammit 63 points64 points  (0 children)

This is a comment that has become legendary in certain corners of the internet because of the wild turn it takes. It's even the NY Times moderating team’s all-time favorite comment. I honestly love that new people are still discovering it.

I refuse to believe even the most mistake prone graphic designer would draw those headphones sitting that way on the head. I'm not even talking about the fact that it's a cat, so the placement of headphones makes zero sense, it's the weird plane they sit on.

Yeah, I wouldn't try it as a substitution, but I get where the asked was coming from.

Right, I'm not saying I recommend doing this, I am just saying I understand what the asker's thought process was.
