Now this is the kind of calling out we can get behind

I'm just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they're doing. Granted I haven't worked for any huge companies, so that's probably why I have difficulty picturing it.

I just don't have time to invest in learning a new operating system.

That's fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices. I just get so frustrated every time I try, and it doesn't seem like the end result is worth it if I can just stick with what works and not have to worry about some random update radically and inexorably altering how my computer works.

I even got an email out of nowhere right in my inbox from Dell the same day I was talking about Dell laptops with my book club. I would be so shocked if these examples are mere coincidence

Having worked on the tech side of email marketing campaigns I would actually be impressed

Thanks Sauerkraut, I thought so too.

But only the "TT" sound harsh, which is the same as butterfly, which I'd argue sounds harsher overall.

Ohhh so that's what that is. I always wondered if it was a coincidence or what.

You call this decorated?? That picture is like an alien's interpretation of earth art with the LoD turned to minimum

POV: You're 12 years old and your family is sleeping on the grass outside, because it's just too hot inside.

Not trying to one-up, just having a bit of fun

Thank you for making this comment. I was feeling a little twinge of loss at this apparently relatable moment that we never had.

Great story and well told. Beautiful really. Pan-romantic, I really like that. Wow there are so many gradations of sexuality and identity. I so wish we were talking about this shit when I was a kid.

So much time wasted trying to fit in the restrictive "straight" or "gay" buckets.

Still not as much as the guy in your story, but I can totally see how he could wind up in that situation given the cards dealt.

Check out the refurb/used market!
