I just skimmed your comment, but it reminds me of the old proverb "You shouldn't fucking comment on something you haven't goddamned read."

People in space spend almost all their time staring down at Earth. People in the desert are at least on Earth. It's a very real possibility that too much distance from Earth could make people go crazy simply from the psychological effects of leaving your home planet.

Holy fucking shit, women don't wear skirts so men will think about what's under them. What's the difference between a skirt and pants, really? We're not talking about micro-mini skirts where you can see their crotch from eye level. Just normal skirts or dresses, variations of which have existed for millennia (and…

Well, you clearly don't have much respect for police forces. But nonetheless, personally I'm inclined to believe that someone with professional training is going to be better at something than someone that either isn't trained, or is self-trained/trained as a hobbyist, ect. Which is why when I need surgery I go to a…

While it's certainly true that a concealed carry permit does not confer on one any particular skill, it's worth noting that a badge does not, either.

That movie would have been great if they just stuck to the premise that the earth was dying and that space station was the only liveable place to be. But at the end of that movie, other than getting access to those health-things, what was solved for the average person? They still had to live on shithole-earth, they…

I have to read to fall asleep. If I don't pick up a book, I'll toss and turn for hours. But I've got it down to a science - I read until the point where I blink and my lids stay closed for an instant longer than normal. If I put the book down right then and turn off the light, I'll be out cold in moments. Usually it…

they are sofa king bad.

YES YES FUCKING YES.

We've got plenty of Northern rednecks here, and lots of them have guns.

I don't want to be a downer (ok, I do), but though it seems like it was being friendly, to suggest it was actually waving hello anthropomorphizes it a bit. How would a wild whale possibly know that the human gesture of waving your hand is a greeting? Even in different human cultures different hand gestures mean…

link for this?

I also do that. AM I A KITTEN?!

mmm, let me slap my meat right on your hot grils

How so? If anything, this encourages better - and smarter - writing.

If a word is unnecessarily long or complex, then you should cut it. You should always aim for clarity, not try to impress with your vocabulary. But if the word is absolutely necessary, keep it.

I don't know what kind of sex you're having, but women I sleep with don't check their goddamn phones during it.

Yeah, I'm old - I'm 34.

Actually, I find it's usually much easier to charm a male interviewer. Women tend to be colder interviewers, and I think it's because they're more looking at your qualifications as a worker, whereas guys mostly seem to want to hire the person they get along with best. Not always, but generally.

I imagine it would have been from Tyson that the Library of Congress got this letter, wouldn't it?
