also I had one of those refillable prepaid phone cards; I used it so much that I didn’t need the physical card anymore because I had the phone number and PIN memorized (and still do, ~20 years after the last time I used it)

(The animated one has a musical joke where Gaston tries to change the key on “and now I’m going to make Belle my wife!”, and the townspeople both physically get in his way and continue singing in the original key. In the remake, the townspeople accept the key change and don’t get in his way)

A while back I listened to the song Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast over and over and over, off the soundtracks for both the 1991 animated movie and the 2017 live action remake, until I figured out *why* the ending of the latter version sounded wrong

I knew a couple who was the buyer’s version of that. They wanted “a good deal”—which they defined as “a house for under list”—in a hot market where offers $50k-$75k over list were typical. So effectively, they limited themselves to houses listed for way too much by unrealistic sellers

Maybe you “only” have give it some sort of permissions grant to [checks notes] make purchases via your account at this gigantic US retailer where it could buy damn near anything and ship it wherever? 😬

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

Now, now, let’s be fair. The “AI-written copyright analysis” also got laugh-emoji’d

(I once had a commitment that involved driving to SOMA several times, and my car at the time was a decrepit hand-me-down Crown Vic. Parking that fucking land barge in SF was an *ordeal*)

My favorite anecdote about my dad’s downright absurd parking luck is the time my parents decided we should drive to Ghirardelli Square on a Saturday afternoon during peak tourist season

and he *immediately* found a spot to parallel-park his pickup truck directly in front of the building

motherfuckers think that things like “sex” and “societies” are ontological categories baked into the universe
