Zoidberg, soaking in brine!

There's an old man in Surge's gym who says he served with Surge in the war iirc.

    Not a lot of them are familiar with irl sports. Which I think helps explain why the ones who are toxic also tend to be the worst.

    Since irl sports teaches you that teamwork, supporting each other, and getting your head in the game and focusing on playing it more than being a dick to a teammate are strategies for success.

    Oh, and the unbelievable thrill of making an unbelievable comeback. Which is waaaay more satisfying than tilting a teammate into quitting.

    ...if they called in 1999 and told us something will happen to the World Trade Center, probably it's a magic future-phone and somebody should've put a stop to it before something happened. To the World Trade Center.

    Alright, I'll bite.

    I grew up in Oklahoma and Texas. Didn't move to Tennessee until my 20s. No, we would not call it "warm water port." I've literally never seen anything bigger than a pond with ice on it. Why would it occur to me to mention it's warmth?

    And where I'm from a sentence like "be slightly more cautious with your linguistic judgements" is the kind of pretentious nonsense that gets you disinvited from the barbecue so I recommend being slightly more cautious your own damn self.

    flicker ,

    Suuuuuper pretentious. Needlessly so.

    I can tell you're one of those people who likes to believe they pride themselves on their intelligence, but the truth is, you pride yourself on using it like a cudgel in a vainglorious attempt to feel better than others.

    I think we'd be better off if we disengage here.

    Dominic Deegan is an amazing suggestion but needs a content warning.

    I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.

    "Shifty stack of maple drawers" is this best thing I've read all week. Thank you for that.

    flicker ,

    Is this a thing even for people who get regular exercise?

    flicker ,

    Native speakers refer to it as "washing the dishes" (the full phrase). "Dishwashing" is technically correct but it's also awkward and clunky.

    This was spoken from an America-centric POV. Hopefully some other countries will weigh in.

    No, because the original 5 rabbis did not change their mind. The joke is that God now has a vote.

    Not so keen on the eugenics war, either...

    In German, "groß" (pronounced the same way as "gross" in English) means "large."

    This is a fantastic response.

    Sex toys have come a long way, fellas! Don't worry about what women are using unless those women have invited you to witness! (My current fave thing is shaped like a mouth with a tongue sticking out and I'm not even a lesbian!)

    flicker ,

    Uh, no? The point I was making was that even non-lesbians are using sex toys that aren't best described as penis-shaped.

    I love that your Mom is like, "enjoy your school days, honey!" Whenever you visit from uncovering insane time travel bullshit or exorcizing demons or whatever.

    I wanted to see what kind of ads that might actually be since I have zero concept. I do not recommend typing "semen stealing" into Google innocently and hoping for an answer.

    I'm going to have some weird ads now...

    flicker ,

    I saw... that. But what could someone advertise about it! And that's a curiosity those links don't answer...

    flicker ,

    You're welcome to weird up your ads, also.

    flicker ,

    Entirely by accident I assure you.

    I'm a big woman and let me say, let a thousand AI girlfriends bloom.

    Oh my God that sounds amazing. Why don't we have one of these already!

    Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism (www.hepi.ac.uk)

    We know that women students and staff remain underrepresented in Higher Education STEM disciplines. Even in subjects where equivalent numbers of men and women participate, however, many women are still disadvantaged by everyday sexism. Our recent research found that women who study STEM subjects at undergraduate level in England...

    This is the most "not all men" answer I could ever imagine. You literally got angry at the data, not because there's sexism, but because there are other men who exist in other places who aren't sexist.

    It's well-documented that women don't go into STEM. When data explains why women don't go into STEM, getting pissy because there are men who are in other fields who aren't sexist completely misses the entire goddamned point.

    flicker ,

    Yep. I was right. You turned a conversation about "women are being harrassed" into how upset you are that we aren't talking about problems men face. If you want to advocate for the problems men face, actually do that, instead of bitching when we are discussing problems women face.

    Honestly... they're pretty gross.

    I work for DIDDs full time and let me tell you, my favorite incident so far driving my two disabled ladies around was the time where, in a very obviously for-the-transport-of-wheelchairs van, we got cut off... in their church parking lot.

    I still laugh about it. "Did I just get cut off... in a handicapped vehicle... in a church parking lot? Okay. Alright. Let's see where that gets you."
