Yeah, if she were a man, would this guy support her? I doubt this guy would be supporting any Democrat.

Although, this post actually references Julia’s speech, so... it’s odd. It’s an odd post.

This Jezebel post says “After a brief conversation, the pair started to have consensual sex” and attributes that to The Telegraph, but I can’t find any reference to that in the Telegraph article. I CAN find a reference to it in the other linked source (the NY Daily News, itself citing The Mirror), but there it is…

“Pickup artists” are ridiculous shitty people with shitty attitudes, but, though I’ve never read it, I’m given to understand the book in question wasn’t actually a pickup artist how-to manual, but more of like a reporter investigating that bizarre community and portraying all of its flaws. Which might conceivably make…

This is pedantic, but... at some point you switch from “Hinchcliffe” to “Hincliffe” and continue to write that way in four instances. But the name is, as you originally correctly wrote, “Hinchcliffe”.

Whoa, I hadn’t heard these rumors. Does anyone have a link to a discussion of them I could read up on?

What’s a rocket supposed to look like? I mean, sure, this one has a somewhat more defined glans than most, but they’re all roughly phallic.

Even more so, though, it looks like a pencil with one of those removable eraser caps. Lots of things are cylindrical in form.

The quiz app here is incorrectly coded and considers 1 to be an incorrect answer. Thus, if you submitted 1, it would not have given you a 100% score.

I assume Clover knew the correct answer as she set up the quiz, but accidentally mis-clicked when marking it, or some such thing.

You just happened to luckily stumble upon giving the answer 90 to the incorrectly set-up question about the sine of 90 degrees?

Yeah, just figured it out myself. But as I look upon the fact that I wasted so much time bothering to do so, I have to admit... this is yet more evidence that knowing math is not tightly correlated with making smart decisions in life.

The quiz expects “The sine of 90 degrees is ??????” to be answered with 90 though the correct answer is actually 1. (I realize this isn’t the point. Still, thought I’d make the pedantic note anyway, in case others are confused by their scores...)

Math PhD student, and I’m having the exact same problem!

Edit: Figured it out; the quiz wants “The sine of 90 degrees is ??????” to be answered with “90". Oh well...

Heh, of course some people are into other people’s nerdy cousins...

But... but various women (and minorities, and other people) DID display upset in 2008 because they didn’t get their #1 choice for Democratic candidate. See below. (And honestly, that’s fine! What’s more reasonable than having non-ephemeral desires for the policy direction of the world in which you live, and emotions…

No, you didn’t. People repeat this urban legend over and over (often with racial connotations, at that), but it never happened. Same for Oranjello and Lemonjello, Ledasha spelt “Le-a”, and all the rest of them.

Oh, wow. If I’m not mistaken (in recognizing your username from elsewhere), I’m actually part of your family. Some coincidence to stumble across this post...

Anyway, congrats!

A small correction to the article: Mia Farrow was never Woody Allen’s wife. They were together for about 13 years, but never married.

The poem is called “The Road Not Taken”. So, yes, it truly wasn’t about a road significantly less travelled than some other alternate road.

Yeah, that captures precisely what I want but struggle to believe, in my own depressions, and surely for many others as well. The trouble is, at least for me, repeating those words to myself doesn’t do the trick. Why should I believe it unless it’s other people saying it?

(And I can readily convince myself that certain…
