"Waiting behind some kid with the croup to get their antibiotics..."

It turns out that a lot of people don't like to read because they were never properly taught how, and more importantly, WHY to read. For them, reading was a way to find the answer. "Why did David fear the old man? (Page 43)" They never went beyond this, so why bother reading if you are not trying to answer a question for the teacher? They never experienced the joy of reading, of reading for its own sake, of reading just to find new ideas.

Sadly, for many people, thinking is the same way. (And there is a BIG overlap in the middle of the Venn Diagram between peple who don't read and people who don't think.)

There were two main bonobos used in the tests. This is Ham, who was well known for being very chill and easy to work with. The other, who did a good job but was a nightmare for his handlers was Enos. Or, as they called him "Enos the penis".

This is astonishing work, and the fact that it's freehand is astonishinger.

As someone who teaches human reproduction every year, I can't imagine teaching this shit instead. Abstinence-based sex ed is not sex ed. It is exactly the opposite.

I'm forecasting a bumper baby crop in FL

My wife and I have chosen not to have children. We have virtually no experience with babies of any sort. Yesterday, we found an abandoned week-old kitten behind our back fence. It's been less than 24 hours and we are already offering her money if she will go back to sleep.

We need a Pokémon/Star Wars crossover. I'm just not sure which side most of them would be on.

i'm bored someone start an argument

As my grandmother used to say: "Profanity is a crutch, used by inarticulate motherfuckers."

I hate people that are like "oh you shouldn't curse. Use proper words. Only people with a small vocabulary uses curse words" like no Karen fuck is exactly the word I'm looking for.

Because saying you are and idiot is one thing

Saying you are a fucking idiot is another

But... not a cube.

you never know!

Another classic concept space model kit! I built this one as a kid, and have a couple in my current kit stash, so I can build them properly.
