That’s understandable, it’s definitely not on the level of like a racial slur or anything. But if my niece or nephew blurted that out about someone I’d want to put a stop to it pretty quickly, you know?

And oh my god, that story about the kid is hilarious and adorable!

A doctor would say you have amblyopia and a polite person would call it lazy eye. Cockeyed is a proper English word, but it’s kind of rude when you use it to describe a person and not an object.

And while you’re at it, shell out the extra 50 cents or whatever for the bronze cut pasta. It has a much nicer texture and allegedly makes sauce adhere to the pasta more.

Do you think that if the prosecution made a secret deal with the witness, a deal that the jury didn’t know about, would that make another trial or reexamination of evidence necessary? Because that’s what happened.

And the state Supreme Court refused to stop Owens’ execution last week after Golden, in a sworn statement, said that he had a secret deal with prosecutors that he never told the jury about.

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) will make it much less likely for you to contract HIV, but you must begin taking it within 72 hours of potential exposure, and the sooner the better.

If you’re in the US, this CDC page has more info about where to find treatment.

A doctor will be able to tell you what other tests you should have, but I imagine they’re going to just want to screen for the usual stuff (chlamydia, gonorrhea, etc).

God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.

IME this is largely the stance that the LA Metro buses* take, as long as you're not causing trouble. A lot of the time I get waved on for the card not reading quick enough (resulting in a free ride), and I've literally never seen a driver tell someone to leave because their card won't scan or they don't have the money for it.

Which, when you think about it makes sense. The $1.75 or so they're 'losing' from the passenger not paying (the bus will be going that route anyway, regardless of whether they board or not) will be FAR exceeded by the cost of paying a bus driver to sit there with a bus out of commission for however long it takes cops to get there and force someone out, PLUS a literal bus full of now pissed off people who may be missing connections because some bus driver had a stick up his ass. It absolutely doesn't make sense unless the fare-evader in question is either a chronic problem causer or an immediate threat.

* trains/subways are a different matter, they have cops checking randomly onboard there to fine people

Maybe some crimes should be punishable by public flogging.

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

Open to investigation: no

Open to sucking up your work and personal information: absolutely!

Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.
