I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.
Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.
“Booty call” and “butt dial” has been offered up as an example of where the literal meaning of two phrases is the same but the implied meaning is very different (denotative vs connotative meanings).
Today a coffee mug gave me another example: “dad bod” and “father figure”

@scalzi I don't understand why calendar reform didn't go with a variation on the ancient Egyptian calendar (or perhaps the French revolutionary calendar): a year should consist of 12 months of 30 days apiece, plus 5-6 extra festival days at the end.
Turned on the TV and this was playing in the background, and suddenly I was right-hooked into 1996.
Oh, NOW I'm finally sleepy. #insomnialife
Update: It did bring out one of the staff who asked some tech questions, which I answered. That's a huge plus right there.
Post.News is pretty frustrating as a lot of basic functions are broken for me, and it appears complaining about it brings out people who make me feel even less welcome.
Maybe it's not for me, Mr. Boobo. Maybe it's not.
