Note to self: Descriptions of personal experience that include provisos for possible error and statements that such experience may not apply to the entire population and which are phrased to elicit conversation on such point are likely to result in being called out as judgemental and insulting to all the people who were theorized to actually exist. Keep such musings to oneself in the future, as one's personal experience and opinions are apparently cause for high dudgeon and outrage, not for reasonable counterpoint and respectful challenge.
IE, I came here for an argument, not abuse. Is that down the hall?
Hanne isn't really a neighbor (though not far from me) but she's neighborhood-adjacent. And cookie-commentator. She's also got books out on the history of virginity and one on sex and size and some erotica (none of which I've read, going to remedy that.) She's pro-oxford comma.
She's pro-oxford comma.
Another point her favor. Good woman. And I saw the history of virginity book on Amazon, too, and that looks really interesting.
If it is anything like her, it will be. So weird to be recommending an author based on cookie-chat. Can't wait to read more.
Wow. Gonna step away from Natter for a bit. Not flouncing, just need to not get stressed by the prickliness. Someone let me know when/if it is safe to return.
I had no idea oxford comma was such an issue (how was I an eldest, not a middle?)
Market. In 8 hours. Will do. WITH CAFFEINE!
Banach Tarski. [link]
Edit: a few quick scenes that could be nsfw. Also, music. And silly math jokes.
Oooh! Jilli, Google is celebrating Chas. Addams 100th birthday!
I cannot pretend to understand the Banach Tarski theorem, but I can pick up enough to get why the video is funny, so I call that a win. Also, many, many oranges is funny.
I have opinions about phrasing and whatnot, but, eh. They're probably predictable, anyway, and I'm sleepy.
My mother was lamenting how she had spent too much on e-books recently (and, dayum, she was right!), so imagine how happy she was to learn of this "borrowing e-books from the library" concept. You all are rock stars in her estimation, just so you know. I won't claim that I've never not given credit to the hive mind so I'd come off looking all smarty-pants to my every-day 3D peeps... but this time I did credit you.
We're getting her a library card tomorrow!
ETA: Er, she's had library cards before... just hadn't gotten one since she moved up here. She'd want that clarified.
