@NomeDaBarbarian Of course, everything there is local and boutique, so $$$. But I choose not to own a car, so the premium prices more than balance out. (I realize this is a lifestyle that's not manageable for most people, but it really should be.)
@NomeDaBarbarian I live in walking distance of Stanley, and it's awesome!! I can and do walk there for fitness classes, beauty services, postal/shipping services, liquor store, beer, gifts, the dentist, coffee, pretty much any food I could want, and (often free) entertainment.
@smashingtoast It's like Outlander - we're all here for the leading man, both in and out of his period attire. Just try to tolerate the leading lady, and if the inaccurate costuming is an issue, skip to the sex scenes, lol!
@MikaelThalen I'm laughing so hard ๐น๐น๐ but...
as an executive assistant, I'm amused/horrified that "emergency #catfilter removal" is a potential job skill. This scenario is going to haunt me later. ๐
@StewKlazinga @Gail_F_Nestel @DrEricDing And 2) they aren't possessed housewares so much as humans cursed to look and function like housewares. The sample size isn't large enough to really understand viral transmission in that population, nor whether curses constitute a comorbidity. They should all be cautious.
@StewKlazinga @Gail_F_Nestel @DrEricDing I like where you're going, but 1) it's her first night in a new residence, and she's been living in a village full of people who explicitly look down on reading and science - she should probably take a couple weeks & isolate somewhere in the house (but not the west wing, obvs.)
@dumbashelldevyn There are also times you're not afraid, but:
~You feel guilty saying no because you flirted (or more)
~You can't think of a "good enough excuse" for not wanting sex
~The dude is so annoyingly persistent that it's easier to just do it so he'll shut up and go away
@heyyguido Never mind the attractiveness of anyone involved; never mind basic punctuation; never mind the fact that we've all seen a dude pick up and put on underpants of questionable cleanliness... why does this person think "being used" would be desirable in the first place?
@heyyguido What women say: I want a guy that can pay his own bills and isn't a dead weight on my wallet.
What (some) men hear: Women are just after money.
If an adult honestly thinks basic financial independence = "having $$$," that's a๐ฉ
@bestofnextdoor@dogfather I can't stop thinking about this... I'm confused and disturbed...
Why are the streets empty at 6:45a? No crack-o-dawn joggers? No one heading to work early? Is LA some sort of paradise where people sleep in and pants are optional?
