Why you gotta do Fonzie like that?

Some similarly stupid, yes. But different enough to detect they weren’t being ironic.

Why would any school want a Bible that doesn’t also have the Declaration and Constitution? It’s a perfectly logical requirement, and it’s not Trump’s fault so few others are making them.

Forty-eight people have so far been confirmed dead after the incident on Monday, which involved two boats that had left Yemen for Djibouti with a total of 310 people onboard, said Frantz Celestin, a regional director at the UN agency. “Unfortunately, we have yet to account for about 108 of the migrants,” he said.

[…]

One boat was carrying 100 people, of whom 99 survived, while the other had 210.

Let’s hope some more made it to shore and just didn’t stick around, but the second boat has 47 confirmed dead already.

Yes. It should work both ways. Heterosexuals should be protected as much as bisexuals, pansexuals, homosexuals, etc. That’s the way the law is intended.

Whether her claims have merit is another story. I am very skeptical, but it is at least possible in principle.

Orientation discrimination has been ruled to be sex discrimination. This gives protection to people in states where orientation is not itself a protected class.

The rationale is that if there is discrimination against a woman for dating other women, that is sex discrimination because a man would not face similar consequences for dating a woman.

The currency may have been 1:1 or 100:1 when it started.

How insanely small was the transfer? Like 1 bit?

No Dothraki?

I wasn’t very aesthetic in high school. I preferred video games to sports.

Using it as an adjective, to mean “has a pleasing aesthetic.”

The commenter was telling you how they use it, not giving an example. The commenter told you what the adjective means.

Very carefully.

Was your marriage arranged, or how did it otherwise come about?

Stan?

Edit: It was a South Park Stan + Wendy reference, but I get the Eminem one too.

He talked the talk, but now he can’t walk the walk.

I’ve noticed people are taking more care to proofread what they share online. This makes communication much more smooth and efficient.

Just kidding.

Robinson’s posts to porn sites were just locker room talk.

In a similar vein, you have these categories:

• fourfooted beasts of the earth
• wild beasts
• creeping things
• fowls of the air

Haven’t seen that term in ages. Thanks for reminding me of terrible YEC arguments. The Flerfs have been stealing all the attention (although there is definitely overlap).

I think that it has gotten substantially worse in the last 10 years, but I don’t have hard data.

At first I thought it was just a festival phenomenon, where people present might not be particularly interested in that act. But it happens at individual band shows, and not just during the opening act.

Are people more self-absorbed? Or have ticket prices ironically meant a higher percentage of filthy rich people in attendance who don’t care all that much?
