see, i’ve always felt that kansas is just about the most midwest there is

ya’ll ever hear about “Mike the Headless Chicken”? survived 18 months after a botched beheading left him his brain stem.

honestly, i’ve never seen or heard a single coherent definition of what we even mean by ‘free will’. until the question makes sense, i can’t really answer it, and don’t see any point in discussing it.

anyways, who here believes in blabblesnork? that is a word that refers to something, i promise, but no, i won’t tell you what it means.

trains. i know it isn’t particularly new technology, but i am still excited about it.

that’s neither authority nor authoritarianism. you’re conflating multiple different meanings so you can shift the goalposts on the sly. a doctor can give you advice, and if you’re wise, you’ll heed it out of respect for her hard-earned expertise, but she doesn’t have authority. she isn’t empowered to force you to do anything. even being involuntarily committed is generally something done by courts, not doctors; the doctors are merely required to carry out the courts orders.

that is probably because for some reason, in america, people think of DD as being enormous, when in reality american bra sizing just sucks and places seldom stock larger than that.

from what i hear about what facebook is like these days, maybe craigslist.

i can’t think of any reason it would.

i’ve read that lobsters are sorta immortal. the problem is they keep growing, and eventually they can’t get themselves out of their shells when they molt, and they also have trouble getting enough food and avoiding predators when they get too big. if they had society, i bet lobster kings would be enormous and ancient.

i had never heard that definition of factoid before this thread, personally, so i figured folks might appreciate a source. *shrugs*

wow that’s a lot of words. so, basically, you want a term to say ‘i’m straight, but i’d never date a trans person’, but you want it to somehow shield you from any suggestions that you might be somewhat transphobic, and you want it to free you from any obligation or expectation to introspect and unlearn the transphobia that society has programmed you with?

it’s fun, but alas, false.

also, he only has to spend like 30 seconds a day commuting to work.
