*Ahem* You do know that the animal pikachu is based on is the pika, right?

That’s not really contradictory. They’re suggesting people they think you may know if real life but haven’t friended yet.

I’ve got 4 for your consideration:

To this day Facebook still suggests her as someone I may know!

but when they both share the same contact’s phone number in their in their phones, it becomes way less random, just one degree of separation.

Well, you do know her, carnally at least. And it wasn’t a cautionary tale so much as a #humblebrag.

This happened to my family, as well. My father was a monster, basically - alcoholic, abusive, a thief, and a sex offender. My mother divorced him when this became apparent. She always told us his whole family was like him. As a result, my sisters and I grew up knowing nothing about his side of the family. Seriously,…

Ever hear of ‘6 degrees of seperation’?

So to make sure I understand this... facebook throws what amounts to a small town’s population at you over the course of a summer, you happen to recognize one last name and location out of the shotgun blast of randos that are passing through—not right away, though, after a couple of months, and only the first time…

How to cut in line: DON’T

Following too closely creates traffic congestion. You are the problem.

I always go for self-checkout, even if I have 50 items. Somehow, I’m just faster at scanning everything myself.

There is only one way to cut in line, the equal amount of people allowing you to cut must go to the end of the line.

the secret to cutting in line is to be a really pretty girl, find the nerdiest dude near the front, and then just walk up smiling, and say “thanks for waiting for me!” and then just have a normal conversation.
It works on me every time.

Um, no. F this.

Also, ask everyone behind the person you want to cut in front of because you’re also cutting in front of them. Or you can pull a Lifehacker, aka, how to get away with being a douche if you possess a certain level of privilege and a disinterest in other peoples’ priorities.

I love Lifehacker, but this is a crap podcast. Really good example of where gender diversity is important. Having a married man as part of the panel would have provided some much needed balance and perspective.

Exactly, the only time it’s okay to do this, is if you are both trying to conceive. But usually the tracking is led by the woman. It’s always creepy if the man is tracking this stuff. Sure in the back of our head we know her menstruation is usually during a certain week, but it’s never brought up by us. It’s always…

That is a good point. I never even thought about taste aside from blood (personally I don’t want that kind of attention during my period). I can’t imagine not being open with my partner about things like this.
