They don’t have nipples, but they certainly have breasts.
Does that mean the difference between a breast and a boob is just the nipple?
- Comment on Grrr why is it censored 5 days ago:
60k, between multiple agencies and split between tipsters, once there is a conviction, and subject to taxes.
If he gets a conviction, McDonalds worker will be lucky to get $20 and a coupon for a free 5-piece tendies. Hope it was worth it.

That’s part of the plan to get Pennsylvania votes. Going to be making steel lungs.

No. Unicorse is asking.

- Comment on How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW 1 week ago:
You’re not wrong…people look at stagnant wages since the 1970s and it’s pretty clear the labor pool grew wildly during that time. At the same time, low/no-skill jobs got largely shipped overseas, and skilled/specialized careers got major efficiency gains from computers. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand.
- Comment on One more try maybe? 1 week ago:
Stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not going to happen.
- Comment on Deal-breaker 1 week ago:
A lot of languages don’t capitalize names, or anything English speakers consider a “proper noun”. English may not be their first language or their native tongue.
I think even some English speaking cultures don’t capitalize proper nouns.

Earliest common ancestor is great-grandparent. With same number intermediaries for both people.
n^th cousin is how many “g’s” in the title of the earliest common ancestor. Grandparent == one “g” = first cousin. Two gs, second cousin, etc.
“Removed” is the offset value, or the difference between how many intermediaries between the two parties and their earliest common ancestor.

It’s super effective, just on a very long timescale.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
I’m sure the “executive leadership” and possibly even c-suite is bigger than these 5 people. There are definitely more employees. These are just the top 5.
- Comment on How embarrassing 2 weeks ago:
NGL if there were copycat crimes targetting other health insurance CEOs, most people would probably herald the vigilantes.
Yeah murder is bad and all but these guys are responsible for so much death and pain and suffering for making a profit.
Killer here is a legit antihero. Like Dexter Morgan. In the earlier seasons.

You…you…I like you.
It does seem that way sometimes, doesn’t it?

Eh, they are a less inhibited form of adults, and a product of their upbringing.
They sense and exploit weakness for personal gain. Plenty of adults do that too. That’s where they learn it from.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 weeks ago:
Marlboros here in MA I think are around $12-$13 a pack.
The really amazing thing is that most the people who smoke, by most measures, really can’t afford it, but somehow manage to squeeze it into their budget. People who can afford it…quit smoking years ago.

For some tracks there are even speedrun/lower-cost guides for online degrees through places like WGU. They except transfers from online courses as well. You can do it cheap, especially if you get tuition reimbursement.
I just found out my state (Massachusetts) offers associates programs at any CC for anyone who doesn’t already have a degree. For adults over 25 the program is called MassReconnect.

Imagine how archeologists would draw an elephant or a camel if they only had bones to go with.

8 deaths from plague? Fake news, China plague.
- Comment on I just saw this in a supermarket and I am now very upset and angry at whoever thought of such a thing and you need to feel my pain. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this is a nostalgia grab, not a child grab.
- Comment on DnD 2 weeks ago:
Hey man, making up rules to put the elite at a massive advantage over a completely unsuspecting people is a tradition as old as European colonization. Can’t stop now.
- Comment on Intruder 2 weeks ago:
SEO baby!
I thought you were just upset that it was demeaning to babies. Sort of like “throw like a girl”.

If he was stealing bread, as a former fat kid, I get it…but he would’ve been doing the kid a favor. Last thing he needs is more carbs.
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. I’m not to fond of him (or my wife’s step-sister, for that matter)…but I feel real bad for his kids (my step-niblings). They’re already at a tough age (middle school), their dad is dying, and they’ve all drunk the Kool aid. The whole side of the family has, save for maybe one or two of my half-BILs.
Last week, the mom (who runs an upscale clothing store) was saying she only wants to hire old white ladies and won’t hire kids anymore. The daughter pipes up saying “yeah kids these days are lazy, they don’t want to work”, parroting the parents talking points. But literally 30 seconds later, the mom is saying that it’s the slow season and she’s spending most of her day watching Netflix. The self-awareness is just completely missing.

Ugh my wife’s step-sisters husband is a pharmacist. His body is riddled with tumors but he swears the ivermectin and supplements are what’s fighting the cancer. Not the chemo. Nope. That’s promoting the cancer.

- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 3 weeks ago:
Yeah…wish they would’ve come out with dual specs earlier. Would’ve made leveling my priest much more fun…a holy priest was a slow and boring process in solo PvE but a shadow priest was boring in dungeons. And I liked doing both.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 3 weeks ago:
SM was the worst for it.
And there were so many quests.
And there was so much lore inside.
But if you were an alliance player on a PvP realm you were guaranteed to get ganked waiting for the rest of your party to show.
