Where do Vanished objects go?

“It’s partly true, too, but it isn’t all true. People always think something’s all true.” -Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye

Ask A “Is ‘da’ ‘yes’?” Ask A “Is ‘ja’ random?” Ask B “Does A speak truly?”

Oh, bother. I’ll get back to this.

I know that quote, but always assumed it was Dorothy Parker.

Tried again to appreciate women’s bodies on Baywatch. Didn’t take.

I was watching Heathers the other night, and I was chagrined to see that though the word “myriad” was misused in a suicide note, a teacher remarked that she was impressed to see that the student who was believed to have written it used it correctly. The number associated with said word is 10,000. You’d never say “a 10,000 of problems.” I looked up the word, merely intending to glance at the definition I already knew just to validate my smug self-righteousness. As it transpired, I was left flabbergasted (the following is from Merriam-Webster): Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it. I am shaken and humbled.

Men4Rent is back? ?

Never heard that one, but it’s very similar to a quote usually attributed to Plato: “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.”

“humbled” I see and hear it far too often, and each time it is used erroneously.

I live for that line. So underhandedly cutting.

“Nice speech, Eve. But I wouldn’t worry too much about your heart. You can always put that award where your heart ought to be.”

Ugh... “could of” is the worst

“Why would you do that? You actually have a mind! I’m not judging you, but...” (proceeds to speak quite judgmentally)

There’s a site I use, but I never use my laptop for it lest it gets a virus; I just use my phone. You’ll have to contend with a few pop-ups. Feel free to PM me if you want it.

I watched the original a couple of years ago and then again last week in anticipation of the Netflix remake (which I watched a few days ago). I thought it was OK. I recognized that they did not deviate much at all from the original script. The dialogue was very nearly identical.

Nah. A power bottom sleeps with tops, not a submissive bottom.

That would be really creepy.

sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
