So I guess England probably won’t let me go dig up St. Nicholas’s churchyard to see if we can figure out which bones are Marlowe’s, then?

Lol okay. http://www.elizabethanauthors.org/oxfordpoems.ht… vs http://shakespeare.mit.edu/hamlet/full.ht…. Seems legit.
Are you in the UK (I’m wondering based on “brollie” in another thread)? I know it’s not normal to bus one’s own table at Starbucks and similar cafes there, but in the US I’ve never been to a Starbucks where that was the case. The implicit expectation here is that one clears one’s own trash at coffee places, at least…
Increasingly, yes. I think that whenever people like Mike Huckabee & co go off about godlessness, or attribute these bizarre motives to the left, and seem to genuinely think that without God America will turn into some kind of nonstop orgiastic free-for-all ending in legalized murder— it’s all projection. Like,…
Ironically, we’re far more heavily armed as a nation now (although gun ownership has been declining since the 1970s), and actually have a far more expansive definition of the Second Amendment than was current when the Bill of Rights was written. “For 218 years, judges overwhelmingly concluded that the amendment…
I mean, I WAS bored in school. I learned when I was two or three, and so by the time I got to kindergarten I was reading chapter books and a lot of my classmates hadn’t learned. They refused to skip me a grade, made me sit through two years of phonics, and told my parents that they should make me stop reading so the…
I just can’t wait for the same people who whine that trigger warnings are political correctness gone mad and that liberals are so easily offended to call this brave. You know, because wanting a warning about graphic rape scenes for genuine PTSD and anxiety is wanting to be coddled, but demanding that a book with teh…
THIS. Once, as I was literally sitting there working on my master’s thesis in biological anthropology, a guy who was an engineer, and who had never taken an anthropology course, asserted that men are “naturally” more ambitious and “naturally” breadwinners because of some bullshit evopsych nonsense. I said that wasn’t…
I think the book Mean Girls was “based on” was by a real psychologist though? Maybe?
YEP.
One more reason to be really annoyed that she represents herself as an anthropologist while being really unethical and breaking all the rules. Lady, no. Ugh.
Yep. My friend got pregnant at 15, and her extreme pro-life mother was going to force her to get an abortion (she wanted to keep it), but then she miscarried. I felt so bad because she had no one to talk to about it— her mom forbade her from telling anyone, and she only told us weeks later, because she’d been so…
My sister is a Caitlin and people actively refuse to spell her name correctly. It is obnoxious.
I agree with you and do not know why it is the preferred spelling. Caitlin is the original spelling, and also the best one.
That’s horrifying! Oh my god. I hope someone does call the cops on them, jesus.
I got everywhere from 20-58, mostly around 27. I’m 24, but the funny part is that all the pictures where I have glasses on got marked older, whereas in real life when I wear my glasses people tend to think I’m younger.
Yeah, it is sad. All clothes should be for anyone who wants them!
Yes, but it’s androgyny— andro for male/masculine, and gyny for female/feminine— like gynecology, misogyny, etc.
I know—I don’t know what it is, that particular Starbucks just feels so cozy, especially in the rain.
