Thanks! I’d say it was about 95% luck though ;)

Whoosh

It’s a cholla :)

I hope they change Say’s Phoebe just because it’s annoying to say, no one understands when you say its name, its name easily leads to confusion.

Since no one has posted this yet so far, the Mattress Underground is the place to go for high-quality information about mattresses.

You’ll learn far more than you’d ever want to know about mattresses. And you’ll probably end up paying more too if you buy from one of the recommended retailers. But if quality is your main concern, then this is how you figure out what’s real and what’s not.

This is only scratching the surface of the weirdness of semen retention advocates. Throwback to the Canadian political candidate who advocated for this a few years ago:

“Every time you’re tempted to ejaculate, every time you’re tempted to go watch porn… You are essentially in the fight for your life. You’re fighting for your very lifeforce. Nature’s forgiving, and because of nature’s merciful nature, we’ve taken advantage of that nature and now we’re depleting,” argues Nakula. “Right now the world needs men. Men with full balls,” said the PPC candidate in a YouTube video.

“Breathe deeply into your balls," he wrote on Instagram. “Imagine your testicles expanding like lungs. When you exhale, imagine your testicles deflating like your lungs would”. “Most men never breathe into their balls consciously,” he added.

All Canadians (at least of a certain age) have learned the etymology of the word Canada from this heritage minute that used to be played all the time on TV: https://youtu.be/nfKr-D5VDBU

Shane MacGowan. Exhibit A: Irish Rover (he comes in around 0:38)

Cleaning, especially doing the goddamn dishes

He endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020 and I don’t think he’s changed his politics since then.

It’s probably worth mentioning too that Ro Khanna is usually listed as the top stock trader in Congress:

I generally like what Khanna has to say but I’m always skeptical about how sincere he is. He’s struck me as a bit of a faux-populist.

Slow down, you crazy child. You’re so ambitious for a juvenile. But then if you’re so smart, tell me why are you so afraid?

Yeah, this sort of thing has been going on in Quebec for years with the same intent: Act respecting the laicity of the State

Do you know what would be even more freaky? If you saw her again.

Thanks for the tip!

Anyone remember this classic line from Trump 1.0 about hurricane Florence?

This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water

This was an interesting read. I know, though, that at the time there was a lot of interesting debate among indigenous nations about whether US citizenship was a desirable goal. On the one hand, it can confer some real protections and benefits, like Crook being able to bury his son in his homeland (from which he was forcibly removed). But on the other hand, I know that US citizenship was also viewed as an incursion on tribal sovereignty. See the “debate” section of this Wikipedia page for more info from about 50 years after the story of Crook: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Citizenship_Act

I used to know a guy who would regularly say “si” instead of “yes” in English conversations. He also wasn’t Spanish/Hispanic. It was super confusing because I thought he was interjecting to see “See…” instead of just responding affirmatively.

My brother, have you heard about the benefits of diversification? If you want to retire at all, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

What Nietzsche really meant in Thus Spoke Zarathustra is that we all just need to get along :)
