Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn't mean "Shire" to be pronounced like we Americans do it?

I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.

Our ancestors' brains went from chimpanzee-sized to modern-sized (actually slightly bigger than today) between two million and one million years ago, and more importantly the language-governing areas increased in size during that stretch. So human beings a million years ago were very much like us today, just without the advanced technology.

My favorite was "a sucking chest wound is Nature's Way of telling you you've been in a firefight".

I always liked how archaeologists would dig up ancient statues of big-breasted and big-butted women and call them evidence of a "cult of fertility". I guess that sounds better than "porn".

Which can only be applied to Goya products.

Not to mention that restaurants heavily rely on undocumented immigrants in their kitchens.

On the other hand, with all of their workers having been deported, farmers wouldn't be able to produce anything at all. This is why I want to believe that Republican talk of deportation is just bluster, but I thought that about Roe v. Wade as well.

is a felon

A few houses in my neighborhood had the "I'M VOTING FOR THE CONVICTED FELON" signs up. I would have assumed this meant they were actually anti-Trump except they had a bunch of the conventional Trump signs up as well. My understanding of these people is that they think all the negative reporting about Trump is faked by the left (or that the criminal charges are invalid and politically motivated), not that they think it's all true and support him anyway.

My macbook is circa 2012 and many years ago my CD drive just completely vanished from Finder. No indication that it exists anywhere, so no hope of ejecting the old CD that's stuck in there now, and of course I can't stick a fresh CD in. My kingdom for a fucking physical eject button.

I remember trying to use a Mac back in the early '90s. There was no disk eject button and the power button was this big knob sitting right next to the disk drive exactly where a rational person would expect there to be an eject button, so I kept accidentally powering off the computer whenever I wanted to eject a disk. Took me some time to accept the incredibly intuitive dragging the drive icon onto the fucking trash can to eject.

not just throw and error number at you and close

Lol every Microsoft error I've seen in the last few years has been of the "Oops! Something went wrong!" variety. I would kill for a fucking error number.
