Was just discussing at the office yesterday how the word "exquisite" has been bludgeoned into a vegetative state over the past decade or so.
So this is the sound of it flatlining. beepbeepbeeeeeeeee....
Pry it out with the scraper end of nail clippers, then pull the cotton off a qtip and use the scraper to jam it under the nail. Leave for a few days and it'll get the nail growing clear of the flesh.
Not great fun initially but it's a sustainable fix.

There has not been a single day since I moved back CONUS, where I haven't practically gagged over the reek of weed smoke from some passerby. It's unreal. Take a gummy or something.
They weren't expecting it from some rando in a suit, but my heart will always be with the <E6s of the world.
Even if their own leadership failed them, I'm a SNCO no matter what I'm wearing to the office today.
This week I've been telling the Metro NG patrol kids to tighten up their body armor straps for proper plate placement and keep their heads on a swivel.

I've been called an Excel Commando.
"Yes, and": Capitalizing is essential since we're discussing what are effectively proper nouns. Bolding is nice *too*.
Perfect, no notes.
We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

I'm really seeing this up close right now. It's a challenge to map even concepts like "far left" and "far right" cleanly across vastly different cultures. For every variable that at least vaguely rhymes between cultures, there's three that are outright inverted.
Give me Okinawan street fair food absolutely any day. I'll live longer.
Despite the weirdness/annoyance at the time, I'm feeling a pang of almost fondness for the culture that gave rise to the Oki election loudspeaker vans. American politics isn't actually much saner up close, we're just used to it.
Meanwhile, all the parliamentary systems continued to evolve for further centuries to actually address these issues. But we forked our code too early in that process. We're basically running a clumsily-patched version of Windows ME over here.
Absolutely the easiest years. My oldest is up to late-tween now and the challenges look like "exercising agency" and "hormones" and "regularly making annoying coherent arguments."
"I deleted thousands of tweets just so a bunch of Senators could yell at me?!"
Other nominees up there like "oh thank god somebody else gets to be the pinata."
Pair this observation with "Humility is the New 'Smart'" and we're really cooking.
