Signed zero is hiding under your bed.

Ha! Then it's trapped! I have one of those fancy beds with drawers in it.

Wait... That means it's going to pop out of my drawers...

Anyone want a bed?

They must pay the long price, I guess.

So, like, "holiday travel season"? Must be pretty significant if it's newsworthy

Maybe a short somewhere draining the battery when it's off?

(can't answer, because she was fucking electrocuted)

My friends came and threw me an "It's a girl!" party. Friends are great.

It's ... It's the cleansing, right? Or .... Maybe, just don't... Just don't do wars?

I mean it's probably labeled, right? How hard could it be?

Is Russia doing a race thing? I thought it was an imperialism thing, needed access to Crimea for the black sea and needs to get that pesky foreign government out of the way to ensure that access

But then otherwise we would have a year +0 and a year -0. You really want that on your conscience?

Someone once asked (I think) Ruth Bader Ginsburg how many women had to be on the SCOTUS in order for it to not be biased towards men. Her answer was "All nine of them. After all, it's been all nine men before and no one thought that was special"

I am, of course, quite heavily paraphrasing.

I mean it's all pretty generic. Would pretty much apply to helping someone with any task, with a few exceptions.

Maybe my beholder has a thing for incidental antagonism?

The trick to make this stop is to be an expensive text-to-speech engine.

Well, it's just how math and numbers in English work.

Cardinal numbers, the number of things you have, start with zero because you can have none of something (or less with negatives, but that's neither here nor there).

Original numbers, Numbers that show which things were in what order (first, second, etc) start at one, because you can't really have a zeroth something because then it would really be the first one.

So year 1 is 1 because it's the first year, and it starts the first century. It would have been entirely possible for English to make the names a little nicer, but given that it isn't, the math means the first set of one hundred years are the years before the one-hundredth year and cetera.

The queer community can be incredibly discriminatory against the bi part of itself

Or the trans part of itself. Or the questioning part of itself. Or probably the lesbian and gay parts, let alone the +. It sucks, but it turns out queer folks are just, well... Folks. So we gotta work on that.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my pet beholder happens to think your soul is beautiful.

Worth noting that the 1700s are, in fact, the 18th century. The first century was the years from 1-100, the second century from 101-200, etc.

But, yes. It was invented later in the 18th century than our audience came from.

It seemed likely, but I didn't want to assume.
