I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say ‘that being said,…’ all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smart… but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.

Bacon sounds sooo cute as a baby!

I re-listened to Critical Role Campaign 1, Vox Machina, this year. It was pretty neat, I had caught up with Campaign 3, Hells’ Bells, and needed to give myself enough time to get behind and binge, so I think I did the entire VM story in… idk, 2-3 months? Maybe 4? Just on commutes and work outs.

I’m caught back up with HB, now, though… but, I’m also turning on Late Night comedians on my commutes, to mix it up a little.

In the same vein as your response, I’ve heard people say that they start dreaming in the other language, too, and understanding it. Being a monolinguist myself, I can’t speak with any authority, but my understanding is when you stop thinking about what you say and you’re just saying it, combined with the dreaming in it, is a good identifier.

People who say that they speak whatever random number of languages but it’s only memorized sayings…? Yeah, that’s not* the same thing, you guys.

Edit: I’m married to a Puerto Rican who works in interpretation and translation, just for my credentials here. In one of our last minor tiffs she did mention something about me not learning Spanish and how she felt some kind of way about it… but, hey. Languages are difficult, and there are plenty of relationships where a partner didn’t learn the language and it’s not a big deal. I’m busy and stressed out with work.

It took reading the comment in the image for me to finally see that the shark was jumping out of the water and not stuck in ice.

You sound like you know what you’re talking about… and I just bought a 24 pack of the below linked item to replace the ones that burn out in my house. Could you point me in the direction of non-dimmable long lasting/better quality lights of the below?

Radiate the body before sending it to the crematory. That way you can test radiation levels when you get your urn back.

I asked a guy sitting behind me in training if it was noticeable, because I couldn’t really tell in the mirror since it was so far back. He said yes, so there it went. I decided to take possession of who I was and get rid of it all, no sense in lying about it or covering it up. Before then I personally buzzed it to a quarter inch.

I watched this one in the last two weeks, would recommend for sure. They even go into detail about how public hitman requests aren’t a thing. Like other commenters have said, the ‘industry’ is primarily gangs, mobs, corporate or governmental agencies and all of them have their vetted, go-to guys. Not general public, and if you, as a normie, think you’re talking to one? They’re a cop, %100.

Yours lasted until your 30s?! I was shaving my head by 24!!

I saw that movie recently, it had… Black Widow and John Cena in it!

Thanks for the deep dive.

Ethan Hawke’s Predestination deals with this, but with time travel instead of cloning. That being said, the incest issue is less about the genetics of it, since its generations over time that becomes the problem (see any royal inbreeding family across time and fiction) vs a one-off situation (for genetics). The bigger issue is the psychological trauma of the abuse of siblings or parents/older relatives.

If we go back to ‘is it or is it not incest’ instead of ‘is incest bad, genetically or psychologically’… I’d say no. Its masturbation. You’re having sex with yourself, and (hopefully) willingly.

What if they gender swapped their clone?

For half a second I freaked out, then saw the community. Ooof, this one damn near got me with the realism.

Who blatantly tried to stage a coup, in front of the entire world, and the majority of his stooges are going to jail left and right for corruption.

Your bar napkin math has convinced me.

Edit: original commenter, here is your answer.

Thanks, you fell into the trap. But, how would Mercury be further on average if we assumed circular orbits and the planets were on the same plane?

I am not a scientist, or mathematician, or STEM in any way, but if we assume that mercury has a circular orbit, and the sun has a stationary position within everyone’s orbit… and that every planet has a circular orbit, instead of elliptical, then we can assume… that the sun and mercury (edit: or ANY planet) are equal, since mercury is half of the time further and half of the time closer.

I hope that helps. I know the first rule of the internet is that stating something wrong will immediately result in being corrected by a SME, so either way my comment will get you* the correct answer.

Edit: this reasoning would only apply to planets that have circular orbits and are on the same plane.
