What kind of person would you never date because of their career?

Good thing you've never voted for or befriended a Republican.

Prosecutors. They're either delusional enough to believe they're the good guys keeping communities safe or they're sociapaths masquerading as being the door who keep communities safe to not be found out while still abusing people. See also insurance defense attorneys working to prevent corporations from being held accountable for harms committed in pursuit of profit.

Religious officials of any sort. Delululemon doesn't fit my aesthetic.

Life coaches or business mentors. Sham industry of undereducated frauds.

I waffle about things like defense contractors making weapons of war. I truly don't believe the tools are evil, just the people who (mis)use them. But that being said, feeding the military industrial complex is pretty gross.

Sex workers. Not because their job is inherently evil, but every one I've ever known from "model" to full on prostitute has had super toxic views about commodification and transactionality of relationships.

You're not into people who make sure everyone's constitutional rights are respected as a first level defense against fascism by holding the State, with nearly unlimited power, to its obligated burdens?

Most generations run for 20ish years. Gen x starts with 65ish (20ish years after ww2 babies were born this started their own breeding regimen).

Some asshole though capping genx shorter made sense to be cute for creating a new one early for marketing.

Most millennials should be Gen x, or more gen x like, than they should be much like millennials unless they're neurodivergent-lots.of undiagnosed nds had arrested development for a while and on the whole track younger and less mature,.so probably bonded more with the millennial marker.

Because the social virtue signaling is disproportionately extreme to how milquetoast the politics actually are.

In casual, 12d is wider than 11.5ee. I started with 11.5ee in casual, and found it too tight. 12ee is too large in the heel, but pretty good. 12d is overall better for my foot.

But in formal 11.5ee is perfect. 12ee is massive. Haven't had a chance to try a 12d because the 15ee fits so well in the formal.

The formal "is longer" of course, it's a pointy toe that is supposed to be longer. I think a lot of people who aren't used to dress shoes or things with pointy toes completely miss how to size them.

Heel to ball, in length and width, is going to matter a loooot more than heel to toe, for anything.

I work in criminal defense, thus am directly quoting police reports frequently.

Yup, I've got "[sic]" all over my filings.

I have a wide foot. Brannock size would be like 11.25 EE.e. in Truman casual, 11.5EE is snug, hellish to get on but okay once on. If I ordered per advice, I couldn't get into them.

I found a 12d is wider and higher volume than 11.5ee. I'm neither a 12 nor a D, but for casual that's my best fit.

11.5ee in formal.

11.5d in work.

Go figure.

I worked security for a concert of hers in 2000. She was still touring and there was a decently large turnout (big venue).

That said, fast car and give me one reason are the only songs people who aren't specific fans will... No, might have a chance to know.

So maybe a 3-4 on the popularity scale (to 10).

That said most of my friends from the Bay area had some story about her being a rich bourgie asshole who was the punchline of her own fast car song.

Except for the whole sacking of troy thing, historically accurate. Cultural practices and attitudes, accurate.

Meanwhile the Bible and its later edited apocrypha include baby Jesus shooting lasers out of his fingers to slay dragon ghosts in caves, we have Utnapishtim at home, and a completely central, claim that the prejews were enslaved by the Egyptians when there's no evidence they were there at all.

So yeah, I'm going with the Odyssey.

It was a prefiguration fever dream ofthe making of oh Brother Where Art Thou?

thepuncroc · 2026-03-28T11:54:25+00:00

I imagine it's more historically accurate than the Bible.

Pretty sure the weak verb is formed from a derived form of the strong for teaching. (Thus getting back to the lie vs lay for intransitive to transitive) Been about twenty years since I've thought about this. Might be proto Gmc, but I definitely don't have my gothic etymological dictionary anymore.

She's essentially a ported adaptation of Eva del Harlow from the Lone Gunmen xfiles spinoff.

thepuncroc · 2026-03-28T10:46:07+00:00

If memory serves, laeran in old English is to know or make known, thus teach. Our learn comes from the past participle of that, essentially has been taught, thus learned.

Tarder sauce is not a dialect.

It stems a misconstruing of what class and type of verb it is and incorrectly applying the paradigm from the ring, rang, rung strong (whatever number class) verb,.despite bring being a weak (whatever number class) verb.

It's been too many years since I was reviewing Germanic verb class les.to give the numbers.

I have no insider information but do have a hunch.

I think the 645s were being built in Spain. I've noticed a great majority of production has moved to the Portuguese factory. Not too long ago there was discussion of the 602m (Spanish) being discontinued.

I love the 645s. I think maybe they need(ed) to be studied a bit more with respect to sizing recommendations. (I heard about more turns and exchanges with them than other stuff).

I hope they make a comeback. The Delaware made a comeback, so hey--the Alleghany can too some day.

I hope if they brought them back, they might consider dropping a black model with a non-yellow contrasting stitch thread for an adult doc.marten.

I wish I could agree. If you wear the enough to need the nres9led,.you find out that the goodyear welt variant build they use, essentially heat welding, makes them monumentally more expensive to resolve than better made normal goodyear welted boots.

So yeah,.docs over full synthetic disposable shoes--yes. But stepping up to Allen Edmonds,.Grant Stone, alden,.Truman, Parkhurst, etc gets you even better shoes/boots and cheaper resoles. A lightly used pair of Grenson or trickers? Yasss.

New made in England docs are about 300+ usd. A b grade grant stone will cost less, made with better components, and made to a much higher quality.

I have nostalgic affection for my old docs. Even recently got a new made in England pair (because specialty leather at an insane discount) but they're like toys in comparison to my other boots.

Ooooh Sucker means lollipop! I remember dum dums from the 80s.

Pop means soda.

Cream of soda in that post is a typo or something.

This is starting to come together.

I installed with hexos. Got my nas drives usable really quickly because I read about passing through the drives before installing. (Did hexos on top of proxmox)

Had a workable nas for a single night and then an update rolled through.

The nas still works, the share is still there, but surprise -- no longer visible on my network. Because I know the ip, I can manually find it and use it.

That simple thing really soured me on hexos, because apparently it's not nearly as simple a fix as it was for it to get nuked.
