I can imagine this leading to a meltdown for some inexperienced gas pumper who’s already very frazzled by the controls.

I’ve been having that thought about Epstein the whole time. He looks like if bourdain looked up to Henry Kissinger

I can’t think about anything until I blow my nose

I ate the onion hard

The same way l8r means later. It’s the letter y with a t sound at the end

Well…….not safely and legally, at least.

That’s what I thought until I started working at a German bakery. Now I’m converted (as someone who isn’t from here and grew up with fresh home baked sourdough every day). You should try more of it.

Yeah, but Italian bread and German bread…

Germans make pasta too, but I’m not talking about maultaschen here

I always think of this song in connection with young folks, both very good road trip songs

That’ll go over well

Alternative and least dark theory: Calvin’s too short to see out his bedroom window and his parents don’t realize he knows that it’s snowing already. They’re worried about how hyper he’ll get

It’s honestly bizarre how hands on he is. Doesn’t he have anything better to do? Don’t answer, I know he victimizes protesters for fun and he’s clearly not interested in paperwork

It’s spelled Pretti

So the United States, once the world’s exemplary liberal democracy, is now a hybrid state combining a fascist leader and a liberal Constitution; but no, it has not fallen to fascism. And it will not.

Well that’s alright then. I almost thought the Atlantic was becoming less useless for a second there

I guess you’re not into bread, because Germans have incredible bread

Germany’s not even willing to officially say that perhaps Israel should handle things differently in Gaza.

Plus the face and arm fins are pretty impractical

They began requiring it after and in response to that- that’s the James Frey scandal I mentioned.

Required to be published as a memoir.

Corroboration from others, photographs, medical/police reports, receipts, travel documents, the normal ways.

No, you have to bring receipts.

Medical records, photographs of bruises/marks, checking with friends or teachers you might have told about the abuse at the time.

I’m so sorry you went through this. I have never heard of a phalloplasty following a vaginoplasty, but you should look at intersex people who were AFAB and transitioned into men. Their surgeries might be similar, though there’s probably a difference due to the disparity in time spans between the surgeries and the difference in starting genitalia.
