  • America reverts to calling mpox ‘monkeypox’ in anti-woke drive

    Jump

  • We all know what the 'm' stands for. If m*nkeypox has unmarketable connotations, then m-pox isn't any improvement.

    It's like when K*ntucky Fried Chicken rebranded as KFC, an initialism that officially stands for nothing. We still all know where it's from, and are either OK with that or we aren't.

  • What is a typical spelling mistake you make?

    Jump

  • Pronounce and pronunciation seem like they should have the same root, but one of them has an extra 'o' for some perfectly logical reason. I know the difference and don't consistently misspell it, but if I edit a sentence to switch from one to the other without noticing that it's a danger inflection ...

    Also maintain vs. maintenance for the same reason.

  • erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes?

    Jump

  • "Please don't be offended if I get an erection during this scene."

    "Also, please don't be offended if I don't."

    Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new polls finds

    Jump

  • The day I learned this was the last day I made fun of poor people doing various stereotypical things that are considered "bad financial habits" in middle class upbringings. For example, buying lottery tickets with your welfare money is NOT evidence of poor people being bad at math. It's a rational financial decision in their existing regulatory environment. A lottery winner can fly right over the welfare cliff, while the people saving up for a car repair get punished and pulled back into poverty. Maybe they'll enjoy a few years of luxury until they squander it all because they never learned that staying off the dole requires different strategies than getting off the dole.

  • My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks?

    What in the world

    Jump

  • Or they did, and the lawyer says, "I won't risk my license putting my name on that horseshit. If this is really how you want to proceed, you'll have to do it yourself."

    Which translates to, "I consulted with an attorney who suggested I send you this demand letter."

  • Give me a ten-word poem?

    Jump

  • A woman from Kalamazoo

    Whose limericks stopped at line two

  • Can you help me find the right word to describe this annoying person?

    Jump

  • A shining wit?

  • How many people do you have blocked?

    Jump

  • I've blocked a few repost bots, but I think only one human-controlled account.

  • ICE Adds Random Person to Group Chat, Exposes Details of Manhunt in Real-Time

    Jump

  • The first time, it's an accident. The second time, it's a tradition.

  • What’s the first book you remember loving?

    Jump

  • One of the first big kids' books I read on my own. I should re-read the series as an adult since I might have been almost too young for it the first time.

  • In juvenile detention, these students say they're not learning — and it's keeping them incarcerated

    Jump

  • Even in Florida, it ought to be possible to hire an adult supervisor who understands pre-algebra -- and any other topic that might reasonably appear on a GED assessment.

  • Are there any examples of a religion giving scientific knowledge that could not have been known to people at the time?

    Jump

  • I've heard it speculated that certain religious dietary restriction such as Kosher and Halal prohibit many of the foods that would have been most difficult to render safe with the available technology. Without anything resembling modern germ theory, they couldn't articulate any scientific justification, so it was just "God says these lobsters aren't food." And yet, the people who believed that probably got less food poisoning than the people who didn't.

    Besides bars and clubs, how does a guy put himself around more women?

    Jump

  • Live to be 80 and retire to an assisted living apartment. The slight differences in life expectancy really show up at the back end. My grandpa spent a year as the only man on his floor and got all the geriatric pussy he could handle. Plus, since he was nearly blind from macular degeneration, he imagined them all as beautiful.

    Take care of your health, and good luck with the ladies!

  • What's the largest object one can buy for the least amount of money?

    Jump

  • You were right, even if it was for the wrong reason.

    The Zillow listing said acres where they presumably meant square feet which are a lot smaller. This is a city lot, probably less than even a single acre.

  • Why does stuff move in a parabola on earth but in an ellipse in space?

    Jump

  • Elliptical orbit is what you get when all gravity vectors point to a single source such as Earth's center of mass. If you instead make the "flat Earth" assumption that all gravity vectors are parallel, then you get a parabola. Since most of us aren't throwing things very far on a planetary scale, the parabolic approximation is frequently considered "good enough".

  • this 82 year old woman dressing like she was 40 or younger makes me think about how ridiculous I'll look like when and if I reach that age. Am I misguided?

    Jump

  • Is this, by any chance, about Rosa DeLauro representing Connecticut's third congressional district?

  • Trump pleads ignorance after using antisemitic slur

    Jump

  • Apparently 'Shylock' and 'shyster' are etymologically unrelated. Shylock is a Jewish moneylender from Shakespeare, and not a particularly pleasant fellow. Shyster is from the Germanic word for shit, and also used to describe a disreputable person of any race or religion.
