i'm tired of seeing "GASLIGHTING - the word you need to understand to survive 2017"

'A feature, not a bug' has been grating with me recently.

I feel like this isn't the proper thread to report that I hate the handclap emoji.

'And so it begins'

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 17 February 2017 15:37 (nine years ago)

I saw this for the first time on Monday. I saw it for a second time today. I'm afraid for how many more times I'll hear it again.

Search for "girl dad" reveals a mugshot, some abortion memes, two photos of Peter Gallagher for some reason, and this:

Remembered a documentary about romance/love story readers and writers. Some of it focused on the husband of one of the readers. He was quite macho and he stood by his personal bookshelves with his arms folded and said "the male of the species likes to improve himself".
