February has 28 days clear
And Premier Inn is full in each leap year

It's not adultery on 29th February if you marry in a standard year

Came here to say this

That feels like too many to be "several"

When people do this to me, I say "oh shit, I told you this before?" But the people in my life just say "yeah, and..." continue, like I'm a Swiftie singing along to one of their greatest hits

Saying their next sentence for them is the closest we have to holding down the >> button

I think your solution is right. Precise terms instead of a political spectrum

Still gonna raid your cellar, tho!

C20th Dutch prime minister Abraham Kuyper and philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd developed Sphere Sovereignty, which suffered from this. Their approach to the centre ground was an early example of how the extremes steer the centre IMO

More Dutch theology in US politics than people realise

I miss the people who left. Otherwise, my skyline is like fine wine.

Wow. I didn't know I was one of the first 2% on here...

It's a bit like being early to a tropical island; all the furries have disappeared and there's suddenly a lot of jerks who just need some water and shade

I've had one pumpkin spice latte. One.

No matter who you are, take a moment today to remember what’s important:

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Temba, his arms wide
Shaka, when the walls fell

Happened to me once c.1997

All I had was a poppadom. I handed it to a kid swathed in a bin bag and a parent hiding behind the fence gave me a start hissing: "Say thank you..." and the kid turned round and said loudly, "but he's gave me a poppadom, " which I think was fair comment

They look normal to me. You have to take into account the index finger muscle is contracted

To me, one of the fringe benefits of giving away my billions would be to never have to meet another fucking billionaire again

Mince pies came here from the Middle East, like everything else that isn't just a swede floating in tepid water

My grandfather was 15 and volunteered for the Great War

My dad endured the Blitz

Living with a Blitz survivor, one was very aware of the nuclear threat

Three generations living (to different degrees) under conscious threat of bombardment

Spending a day with a holocaust survivor when I was 17

Sitting in a hall surrounded by weeping older people every November

Uncle Ron next door who was a navigator on a Lancaster bomber

Dad, who was 6 during the Blitz, almost vomiting every time they used a air raid effect on screen

The ice cream was much more expensive than you expected, but it comes with a scoop

How does John get work done on his house? Does he sit in the kitchen on an umpire's chair?

Are we a loan in the universe?

That phrase exists in case you've forgotten what you did

"I got your message"

"It's the least I could do"

As someone who doesn't like watching professional football, I'm trying to imagine a poster for

The Goalacist (197X)

Strapline: "Man on..."

15yo did their own list:

Know their worth
curious
Kind
inner peace
one of the most interesting but not loudest person in the room
plowing their own furrow but knowing the value of solidarity

Wait, I'm getting this shit wrong...

My name is Ozymandias
I've eaten all the plums
That you were keeping in a box
The cold delicious ones
