The brain, which we often think of as the source of higher thought and reason, is divided into various regions. One of these regions is the brainstem, which plays a vital role in the regulation of the body’s various functions such as breathing, metabolism, and locomotion.

But then you would lower the need for government assistance, which would scale back the employment for programs like welfare, which would then give less topics for political pundits to fight over, which would kill ratings/page views, which would kill jobs. Won't someone think about the political columnists?!

I totally missed your handle at first so I thought this was a fight between foot picker and a man with horrible gas

OMG

I’m not sure why the way you’ve phrased this has me so ecstatic, but there’s something about the slow build to the payoff—”the fucking cat has learned how to open the door”—that gave me the giggles.

Cats are the worst. My boy kitty always rubs himself against my legs when I’m in there, or tries to climb up. Eventually he opens the cabinet and hides in there for a while.

We went to the store, she picked out her toy, paid the cashier and when we got to the car she turned to…

I don’t know. When I was little, my dad was a post-doc, my mom didn’t consistently work, we were poor. We were so poor that one time my mom had a pregnancy scare and couldn’t afford a pregnancy test. Then, my dad secured a good position with tenure, my mom finished her masters and got a job. My mom pushed my dad to…

Anti-virus software gave my computer autism. #truth

That one tore me up.

It made me cry. It was so lovely.

By having no heart to begin with?

Is that...a human carp?
