Hello I think you'll love this house.
  • This raises bigger questions. The driveway is on the inside of the block, facing toward what appears to be absolute chaos, junkyards, and no discernible paths. How did that vehicle get into the driveway? Why is this place such a mess? How do people navigate that with cars?

  • Julia Louis-Dreyfus Calls ‘Bulls—‘ Over Complaints That ‘Comics Can’t Be Funny Now’ Due to P.C. Culture: It’s Not an ‘Impossible Time to Be Funny’
  • I’m a fucking actively-performing stand-up comic and now is the best (and onlyest) time to be funny!

    (And if you’re checking my comment history, thinking “hey, you can’t be two things, you can’t be a beige camry haver and a stand-up comic, I assure you, I can. In fact, I would say the beige camry is the quintessential broke-ass underpaid performer car. But it’s also completely paid off, so neener.)

  • It'll show up soon, along with a sticker for your closest national park.
  • As a beige Camry haver, my car is 22 years old and runs like a champ. Had to swap out the spark plugs, the cat, battery, tires, and brakes, but that’s expected when the car’s got a moonlength of mileage on it. I love this thing and will drive it until the frame is broken, I’m dead, or the car becomes illegal.

  • What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
  • I hate when people use the transitive “going to be” to describe “is.”

    “Hey, what’s your phone number?” “It’s going to be 911-551-0911.”

    Her phone number is 911-551-0911 and has been such for a while now. Why does she feel the need to use a transitive verb structure to describe that it will change to that in the future?

    I see people using this “it’s going to be” structure for ordering food (they are ordering food now, saying “spaghetti, please” is much less weird than saying “it’s going to be spaghetti”), as part of my job when someone is reporting current or past statistics, and events that aren’t coming up or aren’t scheduled, and are in the past.
