We all know that's not true. He hates his supporters. He just didn't realize the first time through that they were trashy and ::gasp:: poor.

Fair point. I'm honestly glad to know it's still being taught, what with the defunding of education in America and everything. It will serve you well.

But seriously, shut your mouth and learn from your elders. You don't know what you don't know, and you're over-confident about what you think you do. You know how I know? I was you, twenty years ago.

We had a curriculum in school identifying different types of propaganda in advertising. They had us bring in ads from magazines and sort through how they were trying to sell us things. Likewise, I can't imagine that still being taught today. Seems like it would be one of the first casualties of the modern American way of defunding education.

Woah woah, no, "varying in diameter from 1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm) to 1 inch (25.4 mm) and in length from 3 to 4 inches (76.2 to 101.6 mm.)"

Weird, I just came across this while waiting for the ads to finish to start Legend, a movie about the Kray twins.

My cat would respond when my wife or I sneezed. Anthropomorphically, it was similar to how we blessed him when he sneezed. We adopted another cat who does the same when one of us coughs.

You're right, my word choice makes it seem like I was saying fungi and humans are genetically related. Thanks for clarifying.

I was thinking, "he is a real mycologist," before I figured out to whom you were referring.

There's a Paul Stamets video where he talks about how mushrooms are so closely related to humans that we both fight off similar pathogens and that is why they are so useful to us for medicine (penicillin for example.)

Totally get it, if it's not worth it, don't buy it.

I pay right around $20/month for unlimited movies. It made it affordable and fun to be able to go see a movie whenever I like. Sometimes my wife and I see a few movies in a week, sometimes we might just see a few movies a month. The way it balances out, we still see a ton of movies super cheap. If we want a popcorn or soda, we have loyalty points built up that cover it. We might pay $1 to upgrade to the large.

I love seeing movies on the big screen. I like that it forces me to pay attention compared to distractions at home. It's immersive. I live in a small town so the theater isn't usually packed.

You may have more in common with people from the south than you realize. I live in WNC where plenty of people use that word regularly. Folks in the mountains have widely varying knowledge bases and depth that they often don't reveal right away. It might seem out of place in Southern California, but you may be shutting yourself off to the possibility that someone could surprise you and offer insight from a perspective you hadn't considered.

Interesting litmus. Thanks for explaining. I hope it continues to serve you well.

What do you feel like it tells you about them?
