In strictly heteronormative terms, there has never been a less manly president than #Trump.
He is every criticism typically applied to women by misogynist men: vain, pouty, irrational, selfish, preening, needy, superficial, vapid, gossipy, mewling, whiny, untruthful, promiscuous.

A coworker and I got into a disagreement about the word "Flabbergasted".
I am NOT going to review the actual etymology, and I prefer that you don't look it up, either.
I took the reasonable position that my flabbers get gasted, whereas he held that his gasts were flabbered.
What say you?

I'm just guessing, but maybe #Bezos turning the once-superb #WashingtonPost into a piece of shit is motivated by Bezos wanting it to be more like himself.

It's the oddest thing: when I follow an algorithm and get it in 3, I don't feel particularly smart
But if I get it in 3 with a wild-ass guess, I'm brilliant.

Y'ever just get tired?

I do.
I'm just Some Guy on the Net; to de-anachronize an old saying: my fatigue and $6 will buy a cup of coffee.

I've worked in software development for decades, and, one thing that I think is sorely missing a past tense form of verb "troubleshoot" that isn't torture to read or hear.
