Sorry, for security issues, we can’t let you know what you’re doing

If it isn’t from Nice, France, then it’s just sparkling politeness

I’ve been pronouncing it all-e-glucky

Manipulativeness

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”

IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.

For flavour, I recommend that all “regular” animals that normally have sharp-pointed ears now have human-shaped round ones.

When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)

I feel like this comic embodies the personalities of Aabria Iyengar and Brennan Lee Mulligan

“Alright, we have at least 6 witnesses willing to testify that they think I’m pretty. If you confess and say that at least I’m cute, we’ll let you get off easy.”

“I wanna talk to my lawyer.”

bad cop begins routine

“HOW DARE YOU, THEIR OUTFIT ALONE IS FIRE!”

”good” cop pulls the bad cop off you

“Sorry, my partner is a loose cannon. Look, we just want to make sure you’ve got good taste.”

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish when you have no choice, like surviving the wilderness when stranded, or choosing your least favourite sock when there’s no more TP.

So you’re saying if I fuck the same way Fremen walk the desert, they can’t track my car sex…

My fellow chums and I think it would be quite corking if we gave our personal data over to the local advertisement agencies

What if you’re a little more rocaille?

Ah man I’m not gonna remember that

Woah, slow down there professor calculus, not all of us have 10 fingers to count on

Also, for anyone over 35, our ability to understand “last decade” means the last 10 years, decreases over time. I read this question and still thought about songs that came out 2009.
