Goddamnit. It's not mine either.

Indeed, this headline was way more exciting than the actual article.

Up to 80% of those on the schizophrenic spectrum suffer from insomnia.

While we are stereotyped as having a higher share of creatives, I wouldn't romanticize it — professional artists aren't actually any more likely than anyone else is to have a mental disorder, barring a small, weird uptick in bipolar as well as the schizotypal -siblings- of a schizophrenic. So there seems to be some sort of sweet spot, but it's so small it barely matters.

Anyone regularly up that late does have a higher chance of being some type of divergent, but lifelong suffering is not a requirement to make people create. Anyone can do that. The whole correlation/causation thing

I mean, sort of makes sense? I assume with the overkill in firepower, he expected to meet armed resistance. Way more than a security guard would actually pose irl. So that I can at least get my head around.

But if he wanted to sneak into the actual caves like the phrasing would suggest, why die in the bathroom?

The british, perpetually sure every spare foot of land is probably still Britain somehow

Singing to my cat is one of the only reliable methods to make her get up and leave TT

Are sharks fish? Sharks are fish. They live in water, and use their gills to filter oxygen from the water.

Seems pretty easy to me. Even lungfish have gills.

I'm not convinced I could take an octopus armed with guns, and regular hunting dogs kill their owners that way every year

You know? I also quite enjoy your podcast. What can you tell me about kiwis

What if we took all the words and we put them in a book, and just stuck that book in every classroom. You think people would go for it? It would be massive and the educational system already lacks funding

He's playing video games at work

And to drive home how pathetic knowledge of women's anatomy (and sex ed in general) are, those are still more than likely the same organ, just extended internally.

As much as allowing them to own a bank account with which to purchase mifepristone, I'm sure...

I don't even like kids, but what a gross thing to be called. Unless it's a bouncing baby cordyceps, I'm going to stick with expectant mother.

Logically, you are absolving men of fatherhood for a year? Or what are we calling them? Donor?

So what....happened after? I mean, that had to be a huge letdown, you can't just end the campaign with the villain dying offscreen by himself and then we all go home.

Sorry you had to find out this way, but I never wanted kids

And is she a mom while still pregnant?

I would say so, yeah. "The mother of the fetus" sounds fine. "Mother's womb." It's not like men aren't the father until it's born.

Excepting the questionable case of surrogacy, the term "pregnant mom" feels wrong to me because it's redundant.

Mine's not there. Some woman with almost the same name as me, yeah. Maybe you have to go off the grid for 14 years and the government just forgets you.

Don't see why that would have mattered, though, as long as I have no death certificate and yes registered address/phone number.

Defender of the basic is a video to live by

Because homonyms are the worst part of any language and Noah Webster agrees with me.

for the metric system they don’t even use.

British people will fund pirates to steal our measuring weights, only to convert themselves 200 years later and then act like the US doesn't have a single STEM field. And then drive by the mile for a pint of milk.
