He kinda looks like Qui-Gon Jinn.

I had guessed the nature of the site and “roleplay.” It is a tad silly on my part to not have guessed “erotic”; thanks for getting me there (and not in an erotic way).

edit: Had left out the word “there.”

… What’s ERP? Or don’t I want to know?

So that’s why my wife’s member is so big!

It is unclear what vehicles he owns and operates, as well as how his wife feels about potentially derogatory words.

I was able to ascertain the meaning, but I enjoyed your summary regardless!

I know those words, but I don’t think they’re being used in a manner to which I’m accustomed.

So he can’t sing a shanty?

This was deeply depressing to read.

Urgent Care (or possibly insurance, I can’t recall) will charge you more if they deem the situation “not urgent.”

When I was a teenager, I had a watch with an IR blaster and a few basic buttons (power, volume) built into it. I forget exactly how it worked; I think you would press the button you wanted and it would send out a bunch of common codes to control any nearby TV. Its intended use case was to do what the post describes, but more discreetly than pulling out a TV remote. I never got the chance to use it to that end, or maybe I wasn’t brave enough to try, but I loved the idea.

Yes.

Also, I like your username.

Also, your instance doesn’t really fit your comment.

I’m definitely sleep deprived because your username reminded me of Dresden Files because that’s where I learned the word insouciant.

Nice! I try to be generally positive and uplifting on this account, but I admit I wish I’d thought of this joke. It’s a good one.

I’ve always been too terrified of bumping those to let the intrusive thoughts in.

The very first time I put my then-newborn to bed without anyone else present, I accidentally bumped the back/top of their head against the top frame of their bedding area. They made the saddest expression then started screaming their despair. Even if I hadn’t been worried about it before then, I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so much guilt or apologized so much, nor been so worried about long term consequences (to their development, not to myself).

Fortunately, they seem to be developing well and, though I can’t forget that happening, I very much doubt they even remember it to be upset.

The eggs are to go with the beans.

Some companies, especially bigger ones, value customers far more than they do employees. Many of those have rules against doing anything that might be misconstrued as hostile, such as suggesting to a customer that their presence is no longer desirable (even if this is done completely justifiably and politely).

Confirmed; if I see a duck approaching, I will step aside.

No wonder you do it twice a day.
