@KashPrime I'm kind of flabbergasted that we were ever allowed to not be masked in hospitals *before* covid. That's where sick people go, of course we should wear masks in there.
@emcgillivray It was always something I wasn't interested in at all but the implication was that it obviously intellectually superior to whatever trite garbage I gravitated towards on my own. I generally refused to read them out of spite.
@emcgillivray My reading wasn't policed in quiet that way. It was always made clear to me that some books (by dead white men) had more value than others. I was allowed to pick out books but for every 2 that were chosen by me on a topic I was interested in, 1 would be selected for me.
@mightybattlecat You gotta factor in the upkeep though. By the time you got a nice stable and a horse trailer and a truck to pull it and extremely sparkly tack and hoof polish and an junk that'll take up more of your winnings.
@invisiblegirl99 @jlbthemd I have a friend who is ace, has had a hysterectomy and is on hormonal birth control and she always gets extreme skepticism when she tells docs she's sure there's no way she could be pregnant. She's always like "I wouldn't keep it, but I'd have to call the Pope just as a courtesy"
@PlanetofFinks My favorite is when Star Trek characters reference their favorite media from 600+ years ago. Like, there's some Golden Age of Hollywood films that I love but do I think they're going to have the endurance of Shakespeare?
