Thought it was pretty funny when the name of the company was mentioned - I work for a company with almost the same name, just a letter off. That show struck a little close to home.

Young kitty, you don’t get to look at me like that until you pay rent and buy groceries.

Thankfully there’s an entire field of linguistics that’s already done the work. Quick Google search shows 22 Latin descendant languages, and 24 Germanic descendant languages. So slightly more, yeah.

Romanian, Catalan, Sicilian, Galician, Venetian, probably a number of other dialects, are also Latin descendants.

As long as you aren’t microwaving fish in the office.

Why is anyone still listening to this man enough for this to make it to a headline?

The problem is slowing it down to any speed that would end up with it dropping into the sun is going to take more effort and be more difficult than firing it out of the solar system. It isn’t practical.

Five bucks says she was only a contractor or she’d still be taking advantage of the fact that federal employees are notoriously difficult to get rid of - even (especially) if they’re shit at their job.

Poor bird. That imprint is almost cartoonish, lol. Glad the lil dude’s going to be ok, though.

What exactly does one do with 22 tonnes of stolen cheese?

Mawwiage is what bwings us togevah today.

One of my favorite movies that I’ll probably never watch again. The Kronos Quartet did an awesome job with the soundtrack.

The Queen and Snow might want to reconsider their foundation shade. Just sayin’…

I went to high school in rural Mississippi and had a creationist biology teacher. We quickly touched on what the textbook had to say about evolution, then spent the next week or so watching this video series on various species with symbiotic relationships and how some of them could not have possibly evolved without the other. And it was a public school. Knowing what I know now, I should have told him to stick his illegal proselytizing up his ass and just spent his class period studying in the library.

You are not putting me in that tacky ass Velcro wallet on a chain…

Yeah, it’s not really that much, but it’s precisely for that reason that I know after paying for my own necessities, I can’t afford mini-mes. And let’s not even get started on the emotional baggage I picked up in childhood that keeps me convinced to this day it’s best to just not perpetuate a negative cycle my family seems stuck in.

How I do love that sweet, sweet expendable income.

How’d the professor like it? Sounds like an interesting topic, I’d hope it was a good grade.

For what these doomsday prepers spend to compensate for their small manhood, they could easily pay for multiple sessions of therapy, even in the US.
