| Topic | Why do people wear their phones in their butt pocket? |
| VanananaHeyHey 01/26/22 10:21:19 AM #41 | mustachedmystic posted... Bullshit. It's because that's what women buy.They buy it because that's all there is to buy. Sweatpants and t-shirts aren't professional wear. If a woman want any kind of respectable clothing, she can only buy the diaphanous mock-suit jackets and tight pants. Buying baggier things will either be frumpy or just will literally not fit. Gender ain't liberating; it's constraining. You can't pretend that a whole population being told since infancy that "women look like this!" has nothing to do with the fact that the stereotypes are purposefully perpetuated by people who think "women look like this!" when making clothes, or when people diminish the intellect/presentability of a woman because she fails to wear the "women look like this!" clothes. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

| VanananaHeyHey 01/26/22 10:01:07 AM #37 | mustachedmystic posted... From what I've always heard, functional pockets alter the way the clothes look when worn, and form trumps function in woman's fashion. But I guess it makes much more sense that it's a diabolical plot to keep women subservient. /s "Form over function" being the primary value of women's clothing *is* oppressive subservience, because it directly feeds into the notion that women are decorative. The only reason "form" doesn't take functionality into account is because women are seen as existing only to be pretty. High-end clothing for men manages to have pockets that fit more than an aspirin and the only reason they're given more spacious clothing is because men are seen as actors who need to do things, opposed to women's clothing which is tight, thin and constricting --- there is nothing biological demanding that; it's all sexism. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |
| Topic | Christians hate other religions more than atheists do, claims researchers |
| VanananaHeyHey 01/26/22 9:10:30 AM #14 | No surprise. My ex grew up in a cult (Moonies) and said that "secular humanists" were more demonized and used as a rhetorical menace than "liberals," "Democrats" or even "homosexuals." After leaving the cult, it was astounding to discover that "secular humanism" is not at all a common ethos (or even phrase) outside of those types of religious circles. Like, the impression was that newscasters, daytime talkshow hosts, etc. would all be pounding "secular humanism" by name during their airtime. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

| VanananaHeyHey 12/20/21 9:07:28 AM #20 | I had a food handling license and a liquor serving license in WA. They were both online tests that you just watch some videos and do some quizzes about. I think the food one was $10 and good for 1-3 years and the liquor was maybe $13 and good for about the same amount of time. It was the same as computerized workplace trainings or the Alcohol Awareness thing everyone had do to before freshman year of college.

| VanananaHeyHey 09/23/21 6:47:22 PM #40 | ShotgunSilencer posted... First, very sorry for your loss. That's horrible. Sorry for your loss, too. It sounds like we're 100% on the same page. It's just such a ridiculous fucking word. "Ashes" and "remains" are already words that don't sound like tryhard adorkability. I looked up the origin and it only was recorded for the first time in 1947, so it's not like it's some ancient word. Even if it's "the word for what that is," I'd argue there didn't need to be a specific word for it. And, if specifying intentional human cremation remnants was absolutely necessary, surely we/the funeral industry could have created a word based on Latin for 'ash' and 'human' or something instead of making a portmanteau. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

| VanananaHeyHey 09/23/21 6:03:11 PM #35 | Jiek_Fafn posted... Condolences, man.I'm thankful my parents took care of most of the arrangements a few years ago, but something always comes up. Years ago, they preplanned on and prepaid a one-day viewing with a casket rental, then cremation (viewings are important for Boomers), but because of the accident, she had to be cremated immediately. Now the funeral parlor is giving us grief over trying to get a refund for that prepaid rental we won't be able to use. Lots of love to you and your family. dj1200 posted... Sorry to hear, TC Wetterdew posted... I'm gonna donate my body to science specifically so that my family doesn't have to pay for a burial or cremation.Yeah, that's legit. They give your family back the ashes afterwards, so I definitely get the appeal of that. I'd probably do it, too. My parents are both organ donors, but I don't think my mom had anything that could be used at this point; she had ailments unrelated to how she died. KogaSteelfang posted... Sorry for your loss.Thank you very much. I'm going to try to get my Dad out of the house tomorrow. Today was one week since the accident, so he's been at home the whole time except for one time the same day when he went out for a grocery order she had made before dying. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

I am hugging you and wishing you and your family as much comfort as can be had. We had to delay the announcement by almost a week because the churchyard where she wanted her urn interred wouldn't answer their e-mail even though they sold the last plot there in 1985, so it's not like they have anything else going on. radical rhino posted... Thought this was gonna be about the marked up prices for everything related to the funeral/corpse disposal.Why not both?

The term just feels icky. How are you doing? Any tips for my dad, since you had to help your mom? monkmith posted... there were no refundsHorrible. I'm so very, very sorry that you and your family had to deal with that. I hope there's been some peace in the intervening year. That is so deeply unforgivable of them. I don't understand how they can justify not giving refunds; proof of resurrection would surely not be enough to put them out of business short-term. Pandamonic posted... I'm sorry for your loss TC :(Thank you. <3 _BlueMonk posted... dont go :(Right? Absolutely hard agree. I always sort of conceptualized "losing my parents" as a unit, both at once, a before/after kind of thing. But helping my Dad is devastating.

Life is precious. and short. Hold on to the ones that are there for you and have good memories with them. But be the best you can be too and not get too hung up on the could and would haves..Thank you so much. I'm sorry about your loss, too. I hope you're finding peace and centeredness, as to your family. Thankfully, my parents paid for and arranged most of this in 2017 when they were in their late 60s. My mom even sent me a text that said "We did the adulting thing!" after they finished their paperwork which was adorable for an oldster. So all I've really had to do is select pictures, buy flowers, pick up ashes, hold my sad father, etc. I'm so thankful that I don't have to pick out an urn or anything --- there are so many traumatized, horrified people getting bilked for lots of money. AldousIsDead posted... Cremains doesn't bug me, but in-urn-ment sure as shit does.Like "interment" already means in + terra [Earth]. "Internment" means something wildly different, so it's not even an effective pun. If anything, which it doesn't need, "in-urn-ment" would be when you put the ashes into the urn, not when you put the urn into the Earth. "Cremains," I would say if I were in the industry, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to be so clueless as to say it in front of mourners. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

My mom died like a cartoon coyote --- a perfectly healthy treetop fell on her on a sunny day, with no wind as she was finishing up an exercise session to make herself healthier before an upcoming surgery. It has been so damn surreal. My dad is so deeply, profoundly sad. He's so kind, like if Mr. Rogers and Abe Lincoln had a baby. The only times I've seen him cry were when I got into grad school and when I got married. It is hell for us both. I wasn't very close with my mom (long story), but she wasn't wicked and she didn't deserve to die like this. She was actually working really, really hard to get healthier, which was impressive. She had been an obese, arthritic, diabetic, lazy, reckless and clumsy for so long that I never could have fathomed her going this way. She was with three other neighbors and they're all panicked and traumatized so hard. And my Dad my perfect, humane, devastated Dad wrote all of them sympathy cards yesterday. ColdOne666 posted...

Like, just call them "remains" or the person's name or "the urn" or "ashes!"

The terms are also used all the time, even in the funeral home and by our friend who has recently lost someone else. "Cremains" and "in-urn-ment" seem like a distasteful, cruel piece of late-cringe media la "Schitts Creek" or "The Office" about what one oughtn't do. But they totally say that shit.

For all the moralizers: Why should we have to pretend to mourn her death? "Just say you're sad and move on." We didn't know her; the likelihood of her family seeing these comments is infinitesimal; she was a malignant actor in society who died because of and in service to false propaganda that will kill others; and she got to die the death she wanted. The virus she died of didn't die with her, so "she's dead, get over it" is an extremely bad take. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

We had resource officers then too.My school was the same as his. Former students as old as 25 would come in and surprise a teacher sometimes, then we'd all get a five-minute informal lecture about how great the teacher was, then the former student and teacher would talk a little while us kids did a worksheet or something. And moms would come in with cupcakes on birthdays, unannounced. At least twice, a grandparent came in as a surprise to the kid (though that was probably cleared with the teacher beforehand). You might have to get a name tag at the office, but there was no pre-clearance or appointment making. My two buddies and I tried going back to our first grade teacher after we graduated high school (2007) and the office wouldn't let us past the front desk. Refused us name tags, needed an appointment, couldn't make an appointment unless you were a legal guardian or had been pre-approved by a parent in writing, it was an unreasonable disruption of class time, don't seek them out at lunch or recess because it's a liability. It was actually a huge downer, because we all really loved our first grade teacher and had talked about visiting her "when we grew up" multiple times during K-12. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

| Topic | How do I break up with someone I don't even want to be friends with? (blogfaqs) |
| VanananaHeyHey 08/25/21 9:37:52 AM #1 | tl;dr: I matched with a loser and dont want to ghost, but also do not want to stay in touch or be friends. "Break up" is too strong a word because we've never even been out together, but "break it off" wouldn't fit in the topic line. I accidentally swiped on a gal on Tinder and she immediately messaged me. Im still sort of new to dating sites, so I figured Id talk to her and go on a couple of no-stress dates. We started texting and I arranged for us to go bowling at a city rec center. I made the reservation (at her request), gave her all the info on when/where to meet and I paid. On the night we were supposed to meet up, I get a message ten minutes after our meeting time saying that her parents (!) wouldnt drop her off (!) because they thought this municipal facility was in a bad area (!). Then she said she wanted to do a voice/video date first before we met. She suggested playing video games online together. I told her I wasnt into war or cards and that, while I have Steam, Im on a Mac, so I can only download certain games. She has no job, so I figured shed take it on herself to do the research about what games might be good for us. And, I didnt mention it, but she did sort of owe me $30 for the date she let her parents let her flake on (plot twist: Im the only person on Tinder with a legitimate claim to ask for Steam codes :P). She did not do any searching or research; she suggested two or three games that werent compatible and asked me about how much some others cost. So we just played Hearthstone, since she likes it, its got free to play versions and has a low barrier to entry. Every time I ask her what shes doing or what she has planned, she says I dont know, probably video games, which is just a really, really pathetic existence when youre grown. Even if youre big into games, you need to have another job or hobby or goal of some kind. She said she was 27 on her profile, but she isnt a student where she said she was (and is only a BA student from what shes said, not a grad student which her age would indicate) and wasnt able to convincingly describe any classes shes ever taken. She has a messy room in her pictures and dresses very plainly in her pictures (still never saw her in real life). Im wondering if shes a minor. I dont want anything at all to do with any sort of anything with that. Even if shes an adult, Im not interested in a racist, dependent, unambitious loser. Shes still texting me sometimes and Im responding less and less. But ghosting is BS, so I want to give her an actual breaking-it-off message. But, jeez, Im not looking to stay in touch. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

| VanananaHeyHey 08/16/21 7:18:55 AM #1 | Several years ago, I ghostwrote a book for a local eccentric. We were still friends and had gave me other projects sometimes. He was really cool, like Forrest Gump with a foul mouth. Younger Silent Generation guy. He was a collector, businessman, family man, vintner, a pilot, a hunter, a car enthusiast, traveller, comedian, Army man, antiquarian, water skiier, gold panner, demolition man, landscaper, gardener, gravel pit runner, sanitation engineer, landlord, wedding venue operator, cook, straight up bro and dirt farmer. His wife was a state senator, now a city council member. They have six kids and I never got a straight answer on how many grandchildren. We had just finished writing his last testament to his kids on July 29th. He always talked about "when I die," but he didn't have any acute or chronic illness, so there was no real urgency. On August 10th, there was an accident on his property and the fire department needed heavy machinery to retrieve his body. I don't know how he died, but I know that he had old cars, heavy models, an actual single-seater plane from the 1960s, a windmill, lots of outbuildings, a historical home he renovated several times and all kinds of collections, so I've been having horrible visions of him getting flattened by all kinds of things. It was a quick, definitive and unique end, but he deserved to die quietly. https://www.kiro7.com/news/north-sound-news/bothell-businessman-husband-council-member-dies-accident-home/EZWCTDK6L5ALFCGLVELKBLSVLE/ --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |

We would already have "term limits" if people paid attention to politics more often than every fourth year and actually engaged with their representatives. There is actually value in creating professional connection and having experience. Otherwise, you have an endless parade of freshmen who will listen to the only forces of institutional stability who remain. --- https://imgur.com/vA0mIdX Vanai CE's official linguist, War-tor-le and Charizard |
