Really I can't believe my pets don't just kill me the first time they smell bacon and eggs.
@plsburydoughboy After I was diagnosed with a slipped disk resulting from years of doing too many flexion stretches with no extension to balance it, I was prescribed exactly these two exercises: the first to introduce extension, the second to loosen hamstrings allowing me to bend at hips instead of bending in lumbar spine. Combined with foam-roller daily, it's been working for years to keep me physically active & pain-free.
Vincent Kartheiser looks so good in long-sleeve tees on the TV show Angel that when I wear them now, it feels like straight-up fanboy-ing.
@Dhveszak@witches.town NEVER THE DOGGOES! But apparently cowboys feel that dogies have it coming, I never learned why.

@Angle@witches.town I love it. The first big idea when I teach academic biblical studies is that the Bible isn't "a bible"; like, it's not a unified, internally consistent guidebook, but rather a mishmash of genres and artifacts making competing claims. I think it'd be great to see an Atheist Bible that's comfortable with that kind of diversity & inconsistency (in a way that, let's face it, most Christian communities are not concerning the actual Bible!).

@brennen @AdmiralBell@witches.town @aprrrl@witches.town I've read it recently. All comments in thread spot on, but yes, it fits OP's description and is (imho) solid & entertaining enough as story that it doesn't feel (to me) like clumsy propaganda. (Heinlein's _For Us the Living_ by contrast was horrible in this regard.)
I don't brag about it much but Shatner also did not find me.

@TrollDecker@social.diskseven.com So there was a recent Skype update (looks like July 28), and the interface has completely changed. I can longer find easy/any way to add someone to a call in progress. I also no longer see a way to filter contacts by who's online. And, there's a heart icon in my face all the time, I guess to "like" the call or callers (?). Swipe-left opens camera, Snapchat-style. It's all pretty bad.
Wow, the new Skype for iOS is terrible. Microsoft seems to think that Skype is a social-media platform now. Some basic functionality is lost, and for some reason they want me to "heart" my calls and "follow" people.

@Fuego Isn't it the truth? I feel a Sylvia-Plath dive coming on just talking about it.

sad about appearance
@eris I wonder why people are the worst. And yet all the time, we get total crushes on people with features that others call flaws, and they're so beautiful!
