True but using both hands to hold the phone really steady in low light and using a command word to control the shutter is a really handy feature I’ve enjoyed.

In my school (back in my day), exotic was a taco.

I want to add that I am in this category as well. I play for kittycat gashapon at Red Robin. I bought Lidl advent calendars for me and the hubby. We look forward to getting stickers from the elementary teacher who moonlights as a trivia host at the pub each week. And I’m half a century old. IDGAF what other people think. I never hid these sorts of things from my coworkers, and they accepted it’s just who I am. They also know me as an empathetic, level-headed, practical voice of reason if the situation calls for it. Two things can be true!

Is there a link to your article? 🙃

Was that the guy they found under a carpark several years back? The king, not the actor.

I assume hyper-stretchy clothing isn’t a reality yet? Getting caught in a rain storm would be inconvenient. I think I would still go with water growing. I need near complete darkness to sleep. And glowing skin would be hella annoying in a movie theater.

Wait, how do I drink water? Get slightly bigger then shrink back?

Yes, the fee wasn’t meant to be a money grab or a revenue center for merchants but a deterrent for citizens asking for bags or wastefully using them. And its imposed (usually) by the local government. Altruistic corporate bag bans are few & far between but at least not unheard of (thinking of you, my local Wegmans 👍-- yes plastic bags are still not even partially banned where I live but some stores have a no-plastic policy).

Some cities only have a ban on free plastic bags. One can still take their purchases home in a plastic bag if they refuse to try carrying their own bags, but they must buy the bags.

Some cities were able to move on from this semi-ban to a full ban on plastic bags. But the semi-ban can still be very very contentious to get enacted.

Oh it looks like a train engine! How fun! Can we see the whole of the new scratchy thing?

With that amount of openness, going down half a size will be doable. Where you may run into trouble is if the little strap across your toes will be too tight. What’s the return policy?

I have horrible face blindness and even I recognized OP’s pic was not Tim Curry, lol

That’s just it. “Old(er) People: give me your worst fuckups”

“KNEEL BEFORE NEIL!!”

We prefer the term “frogorgy”

This looks heavenly.

Until I feel a sneeze coming on.

Rolling up to the Paul McCartney farewell tour.

Ooh good idea! My cats have had something similar to OPs toy. They loved it at first, then grew tired.

Then I got the mat accessory, which is like a big pocket made out of the spring wire sun shades for cars, and the toy contained inside mimicked a panicked mousie. They loved playing with that. Then grew tired.

A new venue for the coked up ‘mouse’ toy would probably rekindle their interest for a couple of weeks.

Happy little trees!

If they are really manipulative about it post-gettogether, call in a welfare check on them. Maybe they get annoyed at having to convince authorities they are not suicidal. Maybe they get to spend a couple days in a hospital where they get to share their feelings and be challenged on what it is that causes them to feel that way.
