Figures. Of all the flying that I do/have done, I never end up in an airport that still has a smoking lounge. Now that I have quit smoking, 2 of my 3 airports have smoking lounges. I was almost, almost, tempted to go bum a smoke off someone just so that I could. But no, still staying non-smoker.
I leave to bed tonight with one final buzzed thought...how the fuck would glass slippers be comfortable? THEY'RE GLASS! Even if they were smooth, one wrong move and your feet would be COVERED in bloody cuts, ho wants to deal with that? I can buy transforming animals into subservient carriage drivers, but glass footwear is just impractical.
Despite how they're frequently portrayed in movies, I don't think anyone ever said they're transparent glass slippers, with no other materials than the glass. If the insides are padded with a soft material, I don't think they'd be that uncomfortable.
Besides, women are probably quite familiar with enduring discomfort for the sake of beauty.
I'm pretty sure the original fairy tale featured fur/ leather slippers, iirc. Or at least one of them did. I think there are a number of similar stories that have over time amalgamated into Cinderella. We briefly learned about it for one of my mythology classes in college. I'm sure someone here has the info.
I got distracted by the constant optical illusion of dots at the intersections of the white lines.
EDIT: Best score so far is 25.
Oh hey, I know this one.
Tradition is that it's due to the mistranslation/confusion of the French word for squirrel fur ("vair") with the word for glass ("verre"), but even though the explanation fits perfectly, it appears that it's just apocryphal.

28, but it made my eyes hurt to keep looking at it.
I've taken this one once on my phone, got up to 24 with 30+ seconds left, then rotated my screen which caused the whole thing to scale up larger than my display and prevented me from advancing any further since I couldn't tap on anything and couldn't zoom out. Haven't tried it again since, don't be like me and use a phone to try it.
Best score from the team with the person who gave me the link is 33, I think?

29. First time was only 23 though. I swear all those blue squares were exavtly the same.
32 is the best I've gotten so far.
Woman charged with being married to 8 men at once.
My first thought: wow that's a lot of husbands to not have sex with at once.

WHERE IS MY PIZZA?!
FINALLY!
It came with chicken wings!
Yes. Girlfriend.
That's a person that exists. Absolutely. I'm not going to eat all this by myself while I watch Daredevil alone in the dark.
He was quite the danger-seeker, but I don't know as I would call him a daredevil, exactly.
This link is for @checkeredhat and others.

I don't mean to alarm you, but someone replaced your pizza toppings with vegetables.FINALLY!
Huh, my local place cuts up the tomatoes into square chunks but whatevs! Also its best to contain it in foil, cos that shit is messaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
I don't eat a lot of meat anymore. I don't remember the last time I got pizza with meat on it (unless you count anchovies, which I finally tried like a week ago)
Added chicken and turkey back into my diet because otherwise, with how little I eat, I'd only be getting like 800 cal a day. Thus the chicken wings to go with my delicious veggie pizza.

This is an oxymoron. These words don't belong together. Like "trustworthy politician."
Hmm, Sargon of Akkad! I like politics, I'll check out his feminism video!
*4 minutes in*
And he drops the n-word out of no-where, while also using a bloody joke from a Sarah Silverman commercial as a point against feminism. Both instances show fallacy.

I used to love veggie pizza. There was a place near where I lived, when I was single, that made a really good one. It looked about like yours, but with spinach too. I'd buy a large, put half in the freezer, put two slices in the fridge and eat the other two. It was great!
