Y’all, I’m very very vegetarian, but knocking this dude for recommending fishing is silly. “Fishing or another outside activity that seems relaxing to you” is implicit. People have different morals regarding animals and consumption. I get where you’re coming from, but “birdwatching is also a great activity!” is a better and more positive response imo.

Can we please not start arguing in favor of eugenics?

Do you like the time change, or do you want to stick to standard time?

IMO it’s tragic to eat such an intelligent creature. Maybe stick to these guys…? Mmmm.

Words in English that end in “-us” and pluralize to “-i” are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, “octopus” is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be “octopodes.” In English, we have also adopted “octopuses,” which fits our standard pluralization rules.

So, “octopi” is actually a language mix up, though one that’s so common that it seems to be accepted in English.

Raw potatoes

Raisins be raisin people’s blood sugar too, though. Just look at one.

We went for a nighttime walk in the woods and read “Tell-Tale Heart.”

If we’re already taking about genitals, maybe I can ask if you know anything about the nerve endings in nipples? Two specific questions: first, touching them feels great to some people and awful to others. Why? Second, for someone to whom it feels good, the sensation is still really weird: it’s almost like there’s a ton of nerve endings but they’re not site specific. It’s not at all like poking yourself in the leg.

You’re correct. I didn’t mean that 40 was itself too old, only that there is a certain point at which they’ll be too old for biological kids. No one is ever too old to find a new relationship though.

At some point we’re too old to have biological children, yes, but my 72 year old father has been in a new relationship for about a year and they seem super happy together.

WHO is the hologram of Frank Sinatra? What am I missing??

Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.

I mean, there’s not anyone outside the window. But the idea that something could be out there without my knowing? It’s a feeling of not being secure and makes me jumpy.

I can’t believe no one said the things under the bed, or the things looking in through the window. On the rare occasion that I’m home alone I still jump several feet to get into bed. Yes I’m too old for this but it’s the truth.

Uh where can it go from there

I’m so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?

Are there lots of French who can’t easily tell left from right? I feel like one of the few sad Americans who can’t. Would love to know why. I always chalked it up to a lack of coordination.
