Someone handed their kid an iPad in the fucking movie theater and was letting them play on it while the movie was playing. It took all my self restraint not to pull a disgruntled middle aged lady routine.

Rethinking my prior position on capital punishment
Unfortunately I am being very earnest here, on Brother Bones’s post, but: I think loud speakers on phones in public is a serious contributor to folks becoming politically reactionary and unhappy over the past decade. It’s a perfect “violation of norms, not laws” that drives people mad.

Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration.
