In my college Sociology class, my professor ran us through a couple situations, then ran them back for us. Gender-wise, women tended to make small interjections, nod their heads, etc, as the conversation went among, to indicate that they were listening. Which apparently leads into two “classic” complaints between M/F partners.
Men tended to think that women were “always changing their minds”, because the men interpreted the women’s nods and interjections as agreement instead of “I’m listening to you”.
And women tended to think that men “weren’t listening to them” because men never provided this feedback.
Hey, if you’re too busy to play with us, we’ll make our own entertainment!


They’re on display in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard”.

I just offer the back of my hand, below the height of her head, a couple feet away, then hold still. To the cat, it’s a very non-threatening position, and they can decide whether to engage or not. (I usually get to pet the kitty!)
I use my phone to video under the couch / bed / bureau, so that I know where to look and how far back it is.
Her ear is purple because the light is coming from the right. The top of her ear is in shadow - but it’s also being lit from underneath, through the thin skin of her ears. And her ears are pink because of her skin color, her fur color, and the blood running through. Blue/twilight shading from being in the shade, mixed with being underlit with pink, is purple.
I’m so glad he’s feeling better!


But … but why would you open the window in -5°c?


No idea if it’s true or not but there was a rumor back in the day, that “natural flavors” was code for just a tiny bit of catnip essence.


In 2024, creative industries minister Chris Bryant admitted that Brexit had made touring in Europe “simply not economically viable” for many artists.


Truth in advertising: they renamed the Department from Defense to “Department of War”.


Perhaps the game Noodle is playing isn’t the same as the game you’re playing.
Ygritte is cosplaying as Loki this Halloween!


They can travel faster - but you would need one capable of making a 13 hour trans-oceanic flight, plus the crew. I think the time “saved” by a faster-flying plane would be offset by finding and fueling the plane, finding the crew and getting them to the airport? I don’t know, I’m not an aviation expert, I’ll just going on feelings here.


Wait, what? It’s like a 13 hour flight to Moscow, and it’s been less than 13 hours since the attack. How did the logistics on that work?


Has anyone told him that US Law Enforcement lacks authority outside the US? 'cause that seems kinda an important “detail” here.
