Stating directly and unambiguously what you want while asking for consent at the same time is SO FUCKING HOT!

Frankly, even if I wasn't into someone, they have my respect when they do this.

Wouldn't be very good at reading if stupid typos and ~~blinders~~ blunders like this tickled my consciousness. Not every language even cares what order you line those words up too much, go ahead and put the important words at the beginning (or the end if you're an asshole), conjugations will sort it out.

Edit: Fucking autocorrect almost got be again when I tried to fix the typo. I fucking typed blunders both times, a real word that exists and makes sense in context, unlike fucking blinders! Dumbass "AI" autocorrect!

It was a song about thrifting. A song against fast fashion, consumerism, and satirizing displays of wealth. That's what it was popularizing. It was a line about making the most out of the lot we're given. It was not a song glorifying the wearing of fur. Fur is poetic shorthand for wealth. You can't excise a single word or line from a song or poem from it's context. And if you'd actually listened to the song or watched the video, it'd have been pretty clear that no one wearing gator boots or or mink was cool. It was satire. The line about mink even says that it smells like piss.

Gaffer tape. Gaffer tape everywhere. And for those LEDs that you actually want to see, but not light up the whole room, two pieces of gaffer tape with a hair's breadth between them. Makes for an indicator light that can only really be seen when your looking straight at it.

That was notably a line about wearing used fur, not sourcing new fur for new clothes. I think that is an important distinction when evaluating the moral arguments against wearing fur. Still totally valid to be against any fur clothing, but that line feels a lot less immoral to me in context.

It belongs in a museum.

Woolly Mammoth Tusk Mammuthus primigenius Pleistocene Alaska, USA

Some incredible specimens literally speak for themselves, and this superlative polished Woolly Mammoth Tusk is one such piece. Fondly termed "The Ocean," for obvious reasons, this example measures a whopping 82 inches (208 cm) on the curve. The outstanding greenish-blue coloration is due to the replacement of the mineral Vivianite during the fossilization process of the ancient ivory. This tusk is beautiful for its intense coloration and boasts a nice curvature as well as an unusually thick form. Not only is this glorious piece a top echelon representation in terms of its exquisite color, the polished fossil is outstanding for condition with only minimal expected restoration to the tip and very minor crack fill. This is a truly striking piece in a custom metal armature that allows it to "float" into the air. The creative and clever mount allows for a dramatic and impactful display which highlights the size, shape and, most importantly, color of this tusk. There really are not enough superlatives to accurately describe the specimen, which absolutely is one of THE most visually stunning, well preserved, and overall superior tusks to grace the market in some time. Overall Measurements: 46.50 x 30.00 x 30.00 inches (118.11 x 76.20 x 76.20 cm)

Not much of a PC gamer, but I have had a need to use a mouse without a desk. I swear by trackball mice. Personally I've been happy with the wireless Logitech trackball offerings, particularly the one with Bluetooth and a dongle you can tuck away into the mouse. Even at a regular desk, doing CAD work all day, it has saved my shoulder and wrist from stress and pain. I can basically sit in a relaxed neutral position and use my mouse wherever my hand falls, like on an arm rest. It may take some adjustment learning to use your thumb to navigate around, but for me it has been worth it.

The twist better be something better than "She/He's been dead the whole time."

It keeps on autocorrecting words to some totally irrelevant wrong word, much more often than it used to. Previously it would just fix the occasional spelling mistake and ignore most capitalized words. Now it regularly changes proper names to other random words, replaces it's with its or your for you're (or the other way round) but it's almost always wrong even though I typed it correctly. I'll go back and try to fix it, only to find it's chosen some other random words to use instead of what I actually typed. It replaces correct words with incorrect words now way more often than it actually helps my spelling.

Fascism is seductive, that's the biggest problem.

I like turtles.
