The british, perpetually sure every spare foot of land is probably still Britain somehow

What if we took all the words and we put them in a book, and just stuck that book in every classroom. You think people would go for it? It would be massive and the educational system already lacks funding

And to drive home how pathetic knowledge of women's anatomy (and sex ed in general) are, those are still more than likely the same organ, just extended internally.

Sorry you had to find out this way, but I never wanted kids

Mine's not there. Some woman with almost the same name as me, yeah. Maybe you have to go off the grid for 14 years and the government just forgets you.

Don't see why that would have mattered, though, as long as I have no death certificate and yes registered address/phone number.

Because homonyms are the worst part of any language and Noah Webster agrees with me.

for the metric system they don’t even use.

British people will fund pirates to steal our measuring weights, only to convert themselves 200 years later and then act like the US doesn't have a single STEM field. And then drive by the mile for a pint of milk.

I used to have one that did that. He was aching to get on the counter and the first time he actually succeeded, I was terrified he was about to burn himself.

Nope. He just wanted to watch me cook. Sat very politely the whole time. It became a thing. Never even asked me for any of it. He just wanted to spend time with me. I miss him.

Pic broke for me, so I'm not sure if joke I'm missing out on or photo of horse, which was the best monopoly piece. But that's, uh.......not a spring.

Increased awareness of and respect for men who have been abused? UBI or some other welfare net generously funded enough that a parent didn't have to care about pursuing some private citizen that wasn't interested in being involved? I'm all for that.

Both of those would be an improvement so massive it is never going to happen, especially the second one. That would have been life changing for me in so many ways. I wouldn't even be who I am, christ.

Unfortunately, it usually turns out they meant "How come getting them drunk has to matter" and "I don't care about starving children and I'll say so out loud."
