Some of them are alphas (?!)

Doctors also influence the avoidance of holidays there

I’m absolutely not minimizing their injuries, but I would expect myself to die in that situation. They handled themselves much better in the fight than I think I would.

Is it weird that I’m impressed by how minor their injuries are?

A significantly broken nose can be life altering, especially if it’s too swollen to set right away, don’t get me wrong, but they both walked away.

If I was in a fight with multiple men and I ended up on the ground, I don’t think I’m walking away. I say that as a 178cm woman who’s stronger than most.

I had air conditioning growing up and my family tends to make desserts more in the winter.

The first summer living on my own, I made a beautiful blueberry pie, and the next morning I took it out of the microwave (to keep bugs away during the night- I have since learned this was also an idiosyncrasy from my parents. Most people just cover it) and it was already visibly moldy.

I’m glad I got a slice the first day, and I definitely learned a lesson but holy shit was it a surprise.

I wonder if you can get that brain worm from eating dog…

That’s what he’s saying about it now, but it’s a reasonable question to ask at least.

For context, there’s a picture of him miming biting into a roasted dog that he sent someone with a note that he could recommend a good restaurant for dog meat. It’s not just a random speculation.

In the study, Professor Henneberg and colleagues aimed to investigate the prevalence of persistent median arteries in postnatal humans over the last 250 years and to test the hypothesis that a secular trend of increase in its prevalence has occurred.

That’s a fun new definition of “secular”

Thank you! That’s it exactly

War is peace

Where’s the copypasta of someone analyzing this way too hard when you need it and good god, why is google so shitty?

In capitalist America, the president shoots you

Yeah, but the fact that it was close enough to win still totally shocked me. Naiver times

It wasn’t exactly unexpected, but I didn’t expect it, if that makes sense. I was working at the call center of an insurance company on election night in 2016, and my team was half people from Connecticut in office and half remote people from non-Chicagoland Illinois, politically divided exactly as you’d expect. My shift went 13-23:30 EST, and the team chat was trying to be somewhat non political, but it was tough.

When I went into work, it seemed like Hillary would win, but throughout our shift, my coworkers and I kept getting chirps about new states being counted while the office slowly emptied (most people in office were on core hours, so by 19, we were the only ones left, including cleaning crews). When the first firm-ish numbers came in, one of our remote team members just spammed the chat with a bunch of terrible r/thedonald memes and there was an audible groan from the group.

I didn’t like Clinton, but I was certain she’d win, because I was pretty sheltered in a New England state. Hearing that trump won felt like finding out your foundation is full of mold. I don’t know how else to describe it, except that I was certain we’d choose the “chicken that’ll do” (I know that was a spoof from the democratic debate, but it feels on brand for her whole deal).

Oof

This is the problem.

When the author of the most widely read children’s books is media illiterate, how are we surprised that critical thinking skills are down?

You actually just need a LOT of stimulation, same as women. It’s not a fun or recommended way to start lactating, but it’ll do the trick
