No, I mean both the shadowy organizations of which I am a member are already documented, as is the fact that I am a member of each.

At some point, it stops being a secret society and starts being just a society with secrets.

Sorry, all my conspiracies are publicly known.

My mom made this spinach and cheese casserole that I loved so much I'd ask for it instead of birthday cake.

My dad's mom, her green beans side. They were blanched and then lightly pickled, then heated up in the brine and drained before serving. No additional seasonjng needed. Also her pigs-inna-blanket. I know a lot of people think of sausages for this dish, but she did it the Dutch way, with spiced pork minced completely enclosed in a puff pastry.

My mom's mom didn't cook much and when she did it was standard English cuisine. But she loved icecream and made a mean banana split.

Three questions:

Can I play it in front of my kids?

What's the minimum play session? (That is, how long from startup to the next save point?)

Is it a lot like Mass Effect?

As someone who's never played, which ones the good one?

I've been on MetroPCS for most of a decade and have no complaints. Two lines, unlimited everything, $50/month.

If you're going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.

To answer the question:

True, there's been trouble and trickery, sir
Trembling and tribulations
Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
You, sir, and your usurpations
But my patience wears very thin
When you play the violin

from "When You Play the Violin" by the Gothic Archies. It's not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.

Caveat: The ones that are still around "just work". The ones that were overconstructed or relied on now-deprecated elements broke and aren't still around.

Remember flash-only websites? I do. How about "Best viewed in Netscape Navigator"?

I was going to say the same thing. Doing it with her, and at the same time every day (or every other day) would be the most helpful if she's like me. Even better is getting her to join a study group with others taking the same exam; it's a lot easier to do things for others who depend on me than for myself alone.

For me, it always faded with time. Usually about a year and a half after my last relationship ended.

Close enough, though "doors" is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.

I don't. At some point, you've got to prioritize.

different vowel sounds (short A like "father" versus long O like "oat")

different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)

Playing videogames, mostly, but reading fiction is another. Cleaning open-endedly while listening to music, as well. Primal screaming.

They all work pretty well as long as I pick the right kind of videogame.

Besides statutory, there are other situations where the man "can't say no". Power dynamics that are coercive. Intoxication. Fraud (eg. purporting to use birth control but not doing so would be a form of rape.

Being sexually aroused is not consent to sex is not consent to sex, to clarify the mechanics of it for you. And consent to sex of one kind is not consent to sex of another kind.

If margins are so thin, how do they afford all those restaurant critics?

What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where "claws" and "doors" rhyme?

The premillennial shakes at McDonald's, before they made them thick.

The first thousand, formal learning. The next thousand, informal learning. The remainder, conversation or light reading in the language.

This is true for both of my non-native languages, Spanish and Latin. I never got past the formal learning stage in Japanese and without reinforcement it's mostly slipped away.

I've a smattering of phrases and pleasantries in French, German, Dutch, Lakota, and some Slavic languages, but that's just from exposure to native speakers.

We Americans tend to like authority but distrust authority figures we don't already agree with.
