Whereas, as a Texan, everyone would recognize our biggest chain because we never shut up about how much we love them. Some of the smaller ones, on the other hand....

Her music isn’t really my thing, but if I were getting dicked down by Travis Kelce on a regular basis, I, too, would probably write songs about it.

Only if we also ban TV shows that throw in offhand references to events in past seasons as if they're as fresh in the viewers' minds as they are the hours/days/weeks ago that they are in the characters' minds.

I am not a crackpot, but TV really needs to ban the "time jump between seasons" plot device if seasons aren't getting enough episodes to actually justify having to relearn all the new character relationships, new jobs, etc.

I feel like hair is just as much a natural part of the human body as skin or fingernails so I tend to lean towards preferring that people keep it as-is, but I also don't feel like it's my place to actually tell people what to do.

This one is definitely one of my favorites, but if I start trying to pick exactly one favorite, I'd spend all day going through every episode and just get overwhelmed by all the ones I really like.

On its birthday, share one image from your favorite TNG episode.

Kelsey Grammar, as Captain Bateson of the USS Bozeman, in the USS Enterprise's viewscreen, from the TNG episode "Cause and Effect."

My father works for AMD and the machine that he mainly uses for e-mail and writing documentation uses a ThreadRipper motherboard that his team had lying around. I'm insanely jealous.

For me, it's less about having the legs to pull off the skant as it is having the courage to pull it off. But I'd argue, as someone with a somewhat similar build to you, that thicker legs are better for men in skants, skirts, kilts, etc. than skinnier, even if you don't look like a bodybuilder.

Some days, my plans get canceled at the last minute, so I decide to go with the flow and end up in a swimming pool full of attractive, naked men.

Not that I’m complaining. At all.

However, It's a little weird to me to realize how much of the physical discomfort of illness is actually my own immune response and not the actual illness.

Along those lines, if you ask me, whether you can interrupt, you're already interrupting. Just give me the gist of what you need at the start of the message so it's in the notification pop-up and I'll respond somewhere between immediately and the next time I feel like I can afford to shift my focus.

It also didn't help that a past version of that same fraternity event in Washington was where said best friend forced me to confront that he would never feel about me the way I felt about him and it basically broke my heart for the first time, so I had multiple kinds of loneliness on the brain.

4:45 AM. Dulles Airport. But it wasn't the flight. It was the returning to a hometown most of my childhood/teenage friends had left, after back to back trips helping my best friend/unrequited love move out of state and seeing a bunch of my old fraternity brothers, none of whom lived near me.

What is the bleakest flight you've ever been on? Combination of airline, time of day, destination. Mine was probably a Spirit red eye to Pittsburgh on a Tuesday in February

Save me from straight women who think that being in a gay bar on jockstrap night means that they don’t have to ask consent. They’re worse than the men.

But at least my bejockstrapped ass is the first thing you see as you walk in the door.
