Quibble...you may or may not command more respect from your people if you... perhaps...wore more clothes.
Not a guarantee.
Huh?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
Today, I learned that my kids are unfamiliar with the concept of toy breeds of dog.

"Toy" dogs?! That sounds like some made-up Boomer aesthetic!

All I asked was if the sentence was punctuated correctly.
"Why would he give his dog a toy poodle?"
"No, he's putting a hat on a toy."
"That makes even less sense!"

By Crom! The youth have missed the point.

I am 3 for 3 on classes that thought a toy poodle meant a toy that was a poodle and not just a tiny dog.

To be fair, language is weird. It's a minor miracle anyone ever communicates anything. (Says the novelist...)

Poodles are surprisingly vicious, skilled, and quiet hunters.

IIRC they were originally bred as hunting dogs - I want to say specifically birdhunting?
To Google!

Walked past a junkyard in syracuse. On a sidewalk. Two pitbulls and a poodle run up to me barking
Awwww puppies! Drum on my belly
The pitbulls skid to a stop. Nope not messing with that thing its much bigger up close
The poodle takes a bite. Realizes thats not working. And they re alone. Glares at me. Glares at his friends growfs, and stalks off.

Fantasy NPC: Huntmaster Alvaris, Arranger Of Accidents
If that pesky neighbor baron is courting the same wealthy princess as you, or your older sibling is standing between you and your crown... You can always hope for a tragic accident during a hunt. That's sooo dangerous pastime, after all...

Like most traditions, it is opaque and nonsensical.
Actually, this tradition's nature makes it transparent and nonsensical.

"Why doesn't Victor just kill the monster?"
"Do you honestly think he could?"
"I mean, yeah, it's possible."
"I didn't ask if it was possible. I asked if you thought Victor could do it."
"Oh. Not really."

I have been gently poked into posting, so here was my initial response:
*pokes Nobody in particular with a sharp stick*
don't think we haven't noticed your quiet quitting FAWTL...
LOL. Yeah, it was a largely unintended event.
There was all the political back-and-forth, and LM asked us to stop, and I posted something, and someone flagged it and it got taken down, and I thought, "You know, I need to back the heck off for a minute."So I took a week off. And I realized that all I ever seemed to post was negativity. Complaints about politics Complaints about the kids' schools. Complaints about the neighbors. Complaints about my co-workers. An endless litany of negativity.
So I decided to take all of February(?) (March?) off.
And kitten arrived and made life interesting, and I haven't really had a strong motivation to reappear.
So, sounds like I need to catch up on a few hundred messages, get some kitten picks uploaded, and otherwise rejoin the community.
Though if I'm not complaining like a cranky old man, I don't exactly know what I'll be up to...

I've been offered a position teaching English and Debate in China.
Congratulations!
I think I'd love to visit China at some point, but I have no idea when I'll make the time to even think about learning a relevant language, and I'm far too much of a weird barbarian to ever think of settling there.
I suspect they would take one look at me and conclude, "OK, so she's not a Mongol, but (her people are) from the far western steppes on the other side - but still. Steppe nomads. Didn't we build a wall about these people?" XD

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can take off the underwear...While wearing only underwear and a giant pot on your head.
Edit: how apropos!
In Baldur's Gate 3 we killed Astarion (deservedly and hilariously -- he tried to bite GothBard's character and she responded with a Strength check to shove him off, and apparently a natural 20 drives a stake through his heart).
For reasons we do not understand, his body disappeared but his underwear remained in camp.
For. The. Entire. Campaign.
No matter which camp we were in, no matter where in the game we were, we could wander the camp and find Astarion's Eternal Undies.
Drejk, write 'em up!
Congratulations!

It's at an international school, so all classes are required to be full-immersion English. The staff I spoke to all emphasized that they have gotten by for years without learning much if any Chinese, so I'm not terribly worried about that, but I'm trying to pick up a few terms so I'm not completely lost at sea.
I'm really excited about it, but the stress of getting visas taken care of, house sold, and finding a new home for Sophie on top of finishing out the year as normal are getting to me. Especially Sophie. But there's no other choice there.
