To Zanarkland is the song I had my bridal party walk out to. :)

Sure, carriages and stagecoaches existed. Rickshaws too for that matter, depending where you were in the world.

We also called them carriages, stagecoaches, and rickshaws, not taxis.

There were also handsom cabs, but I don't know if they used taximeters before they became electric in 1897, as they are not referred to as 'taxis' until 1897. The modern taximeter was invented in 1891, but the first taxicab to be equipped with it was in 1897 (and it was gas powered, not electric).

The 'taxi' part in taxicab doesn't refer to driving someone around, btw. It refers to the meter used to derive how much you pay. Nowadays, we would use it to to refer to someone driving you around though, because that's how language changes.

I would find the skin showing to be much more comfortable than the suit if we're in the summer heat, tbh.

There is a lot of chatter that I've seen in other instances where Beehaw's stance ranckled a number of folks.

That would give a yeast infection, not UTI. Your vagina isn't connected to your urinary tract.

Well, for starters, you don't pee from your vagina. You could get a yeast infection, yes, but that's a different issue.

That said, if your bidet is angled so it's hitting your vagina or, especially, your urethra, it's likely not installed correctly or you're sitting way far back on your toilet.*

• There are bidets you can get with the option to angle for washing period blood away, but they tell you in the instructions to wash your butt first so that you don't get bacteria into your vagina, and you also don't need to use that function either. I never found it super useful myself, so I'd recommend the cheaper version without that function these days.

If the water in your pipes is that cold, you're likely looking at a burst pipe issue anyway

Is your toilet a urinal then? I imagine that's already awkward to shit in.

I think some people are just wired to think in a way that makes the ways computers work difficult to understand. (Just like some folks don't have an inner monologue or can only think in images, or can't visualize anything at all). I've been the liaison between tech folks and non-tech folks in the same conversation with me needing to translate between both parties. They could not understand each other even in the same conversation.

I can't find files because they're buried in subfolders or split into separate drives because IT decides to change the structure of everything and who knows where where to find what if there's not a shortcut to what I need on my desktop. Did they put it on X drive or G drive or H drive? What folders did it get buried in?

Windows search is trash at being able to actually find anything.

Well, I've had this happen before because the error is half a screen long with a bunch of random (to me) characters, only shows for half a second and it won't let me screenshot it and isn't always repeatable because it already showed me the error message, so why would it again?

I hate when that shit happens.

In a professional setting, this drives me nuts. If I ask three questions, I need the answer to all three questions before I can do the thing you want me to do.

Online? Meh, normally there's a specific part of someone's comment that I'm interested in and that's what I engage with. If they want to talk about more, or talk about something else, I generally don't care and will discontinue engaging.

such as high-quality media sharing, read receipts, and more.

Who tf wants read receipts? The first thing I do on a new phone is make sure that shit is turned off.

I have several group chats with both android & iPhone users. No one complains. The only place I hear about people complaining is the Internet, never anyone in the wild.

State Farm, ugh.

Our rates had been going up, so we asked our agent why they were going up and what we could do to lower them. Our agent said, oh your rates haven't increased at all.

Yeah, the numbers on the bills sitting in front of me are just figments of my imagination.

Could you imagine the fighting during a storm while they tried sorting out who needed to pay for repairs while people didn't have power?

It doesn't but marijuana is also still illegal federally and several states have passed laws to legalize it.

Like any law, it has to be enforced to matter. Most hospitals aren't in federal land (though military would be fucked).

Well, hopefully you didn't get her beaten by an abusive spouse.

Some people are just born wrong.

you all would be admonishing the fact that he even got a say and stating this is why justice systems shouldn't be about satisfying the victim at all.

Ya know, I've never seen anyone say that about the victim in instances like the one you describe.

On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, 17+15 is 32. Think of all of the things you do to get your life started between 17 and 32 and where you'd be if you'd waited to do the stuff you did at 17 until you were 32. That's a whole lot of life and life experience there.

Such a stupid senseless waste all around.
