They need to start breeding chickens with extra sets of wings. Isn’t this why we have genetic engineering? C’mon scientists! Get working on this!

Trying to point out to the English that the days of Ireland meek following them around was like hitting your head into a brick wall. They just don’t get it.

I agree, and you’re right that what is considered appropriate and beneficial changes with each new generation.

You call it “literature and educational reading materials”. But people a century or two ago called it “worthless trash”.

The anti-media bias goes all the way back to the goddamn Greeks. No adult with any sense of history should be clinging to this.

There they go, walking down the hall like a bunch of zombies, heads buried in their devices.

Turning your back on Big Biz affords one some self-determinism, dignity and the…

In my experience, plumbers usually are pretty decent folks who try to help people avoid emergencies and often teach me how to handle certain situations on my own
