I got in trouble freshman year for having a single-cup coffee maker in our dorm room - I had left it on the stone windowsill over spring break and some busybody saw it in the window and reported me

my punishment was to make a poster about why this was bad and hang it up on the bulletin board in the lounge. I never made the poster

why was it bad

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

When I was working at the cemetery, our "social spaces" (i.e. break rooms, changing rooms, shitters etc.) were in one building but there was a men's side (small) and a women's side (big), both with their own kitchen appliances. I thought it would be nice to have some toast on the morning coffee break so I brought in my own toaster that my sister gave me on my birthday. One of the women saw it through the picture windows and started pestering the foreman that the women (just her, in reality) wanted two toasters because there's more women than men. The foreman was slightly puzzled.

cls: I'm going in on Tuesday to schedule getting my testicles removed

hey congrats, on both honestly—you’re probably the data migration witch because they know you can do what needs to be done and do it well

even if you don’t particularly like the task, it can be a form of recognition, which in turn can be a form of leverage

they wouldn't have mandated cut-offs nowadays unless people had died of coffee machine (which is carbitch ha ha ha i sniff my rose very good)

e: this (no deaths) was caused by a coffee maker that did have the automatic cut-off. electric appliances are always a risk https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000008379370.html

that same year a student in my dorm got expelled for cleaning his rifle in his dorm room… while naked

also the fire alarm got set off multiple times by people microwaving things wrong and we all had to evacuate in the middle of the night

I took that same coffee maker to my first job and I didn’t burn it down either

subluxation means dislocation. the chiropractor story about vertebral subluxation causin all disease is fanfic but subluxation just means dislocation

quite separately if hbag believes in chiros theyre hosed but a lot of the basis for the popularity of that bullshit in america is american medical care costin too mucb so peeps turn to quacks instead, which is not a problem in nhs-land
