Not enough to be an issue unless you already have diabetes or another blood sugar problem.

If you have a Nebula subscription, Lindsay Ellis has a fascinating video about Blazing Saddles and why it really couldn't be made today, but not for the reasons you'd think; it has more to do with the history of the Western genre and the state of race relations in the US than "political correctness." I wish she'd put it on Youtube.

So I guess that's my roundabout answer: any movie that "couldn't be made today" is probably because of larger social forces than just "too much swearing/violence/nudity/etc."

Still best practice to use current name unless the person has specified otherwise.

IMO, best practice is still to use the current name/pronouns. I think it's OK to say something like "Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce" if clarity is needed and then proceed with current name going forward. In this instance, everyone knew who we were talking about so it was unnecessary.

As someone who's used both, I think men's and women's restrooms are equally gross overall. Humans is humans, bodies is bodies, grossness doesn't discriminate, etc.

I find regular oat milk and/or almond milk too watery, same as you. Oat milk or almond milk-based creamers are where it's at for me. Califia Farms also makes a "barista blend" oat milk specifically for coffee drinks if you can find it.

Downvoted for deadnaming someone. It'd be a decent joke otherwise.

There's a fork of QKSMS called Quik SMS that's still being developed! That's what I use now.

TV bumpers/"vanity plates." The Viacom and 20th Century Fox ones were particularly bad when I was a kid. I don't watch much TV...

 

I'd been pronouncing it as "Mackle-more" but then I watched Todd In The Shadows' new video about him, and I swear he pronounced it "Mack-le-more" for half the video, and now I don't know which one is the real pronounciation and which one is the joke. I have no strong feelings about him as an artist one way or another but I'd feel like a dick if I'd been inadvertently clowning on him for over a decade.

 

Last night I had a "back in school" dream, only in this one, the McElroy brothers were helping me cheat on a project. Unsurprisingly, Justin was the most helpful. What weird ones have y'all had?
