Most people never burn to death, anybody who does burn to death is flammable, more die *with* a fire from something else like smoke inhalation and not *from* the fire, and nobody in my family has burned, so I'm pretty sure I'm inflammable.
I couldn't fit the parenthetical "*Yes, thank you, I know." after "inflammable", but... yes, thank you, I know.
Since smoke inhalation is more dangerous than the actual fire, I would simply not breathe the smoke as I go about my business in the parts of the house that are not on fire. It's like everybody forgot about the dog cartoon. It IS fine.
"If not falling asleep with a lit cigarette keeps you so safe, why do you care what happens in my room? It either works or it doesn't."
New York Post simultaneously pretending the manly-man action hero movie star said something they would approve of, and trawling/trolling for outrage clicks.
Also is the plan even to have a female James Bond, or to have a new female character take over as 007? And I will block you if you tell me you always thought that "James Bond" was a codename that came with the number. It's a ridiculous theory and I don't need to know you like it.
Every James Bond movie -- like every movie in every franchise -- takes place in its own self-contained universe with its own timeline, in which it can be assumed that things similar to some of the things that happened in some other movies also maybe happened, as necessary/useful.
After two days in a row of sequestering the cats in the back office (or in it and the bedroom it connects to, when they're being too cagy), Tommy has been coming up to me like, "Hey, when are we doing the thing?" and Tony took the initiative to shut herself in on her own.
NBL We're not doing the thing today, the plumbing stuff is over and done with, though there will be more clean-up and repairs down the line it's all outdoors so we don't have to sequester the cats.
...that was supposed to be "NB:". This is apparently my most consistent typo.
Nope, for so many reasons. The uncontrollable muscle spasms are a big one, but even if I had total control of what my arms and legs do at all times... I don't know how to tell how long it's going to take another moving object to reach a certain point. It's magic. It's witchcraft.
Sometimes when I'm in the front passenger seat, the person driving will be like, "Tell me if anything's coming from that way." and it's like I can tell you if literally any vehicles are visible in that direction or if none are, that's it.
Because sometimes I'll be like, "There's a truck" and they'll look and be like, "What? That was way far away, we had plenty of time." but you didn't ask if we had time (which I don't know how to judge!), you asked if anything was coming.
Love ending a battle of wits, wiles, and wills with my cat whomst I am attempting to close up in the back room away from where the work is being done by innocently calling out "Hey, where's my Tommy?" and closing the door behind her as she comes innocently trotting in.
This method ends with me closed in with her, but that's okay, the cats are calmer when I'm around them.
The easiest time I ever got them in isolation was when I just carried Tony into the room like a baby and then called Tommy's name. It was only ever that easy once.
This is why I'm so brittle and prickly on here. This is why I have no patience for people who correct jokes, who "jokingly" do annoying things on purpose, for people who are annoying jerks and have "LOL I'm an asshole deal with it" in their bio...
...for people who reply to tweets about my preferences or experiences with "I think you mean [the other person's preference]" or "This is [thing the other person likes] erasure". None of these things would ruin anybody's day on their own... but they aren't on their own.
So "ideologically captured" is the next phrase on the slate to replace "woke", which replaced "SJW", which replaced "politically correct", to be used to signal nothing more than "this person or organization cares about things I don't and is therefore wrong".
It's cropping up all over the place in trans-exterminationist circles, as in an organization mentions pronouns or trans rights and their replies are full of people calling them "ideologically captured". It's also getting play in other right-wing circles, like anti-vax...
...and climate denial. The common thread among those things, other than being right-leaning positions, is that they're all rooted in ideologically-motivated science denial, which no doubt makes the projection of being ideologically-motivated extra appealing.
