Well I did once explain the difference between sex and gender as she seemed confused and was unable to wrap her head around a colleague using they/them, but that led to a slightly vacant yet patronising expression on her face. Also, call me a coward but I’m not going to clap back at my own goddamn boss, I prefer my working days to not be more of a living hell than they already are. Regardless, she’s retired now.

I know it’s a really awkward phrasing, but “I had a boss, who was a woman…” sounded even more awkward to me than just “woman boss” 🤷‍♂️.

I had a woman boss who would always refer to women as female (like “you know the manager of that department is a female?!”). I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

So is Halloween (Samhain).

Is that Bread Climp, famous opossum wizard?

Thanks for the reply! It just seemed euphemistic to me as cages have a predominantly positive connotation with safety or protection. Roll cages, faraday cages, and shark cages protect those within. Most other cages are for the protection of those outside, which cars obviously aren’t.

The only negative connotation cages have is animal cruelty or false imprisonment, and even then you sympathise with those within the cage.

Now say car-nut, petrolhead, or even just driver, and I have clear enough picture painted.

Doesn’t quite fit, but I guess. Im curious why the OP chose to use a euphemism though.

I give up, what’s a cager?

Yeah, it overloaded their energy collection sail. Though humanity solved M theory in that setting so maybe they can derive energy from neutrinos… somehow.

Source? That’s interesting and sad to read.

I’m so happy that there is a Crash bandicoot in the fossil record.

Mel Giedroyc has let herself go.

The Howie Mandel what?

What a terrible day to have mouths.

The interview in the second one really got to me. His mannerisms really remind me of a friend of mine, and the descriptions he gives of that abusive power dynamic reminds me a lot of similar experiences I’ve had, especially the inappropriate ’jokes’ made about deeply personal issues like his dad. Really hope that dude gets any help he needs.

Siphoning off extra revs for powering woke.

Oh my god. This is delicious.
