This is such a shit magazine. They are not "all brain", its more like their brain is just scattered evenly throughout their body.

Despite our potential for these accomplishments we're still pretty dumb most of the time. And get amazed by anything we don't immediately understand and blame it on God or aliens.

Old people find it harder to get to the shady alleys, and look suspicious at the schoolyard.

I'm gonna resist quibbling about what "completely unique" ought to mean, but in the spirit of how people are answering, I'll submit Daliborovo Granje, Hainin. https://daliborovogranje.bandcamp.com/album/hainin

Croatian psychedelic instrumental rock.

45 degrees in time is about 1:08

OK, sorry, I misread "I couldn't resist, and they couldn't watch me all the time" as meaning you were tickling their feet in front of them and they couldn't bear to watch.

That's why the military had never allowed long hair or beards.

If you're talking about what a person would likely understand from those words, then sure, "It's possible for me to lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder" would probably not confuse anyone. The grammar isn't quite right, though, because of the way tense /mood is used, and it sounds wrong. I think OP wanted to add the "possibly" because it sounded wrong even if they didn't know why wrt grammar. If that's splitting hairs so be it.

Even saying "I could lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder" would be better.

Air conditioners don't make air too cold, they make the air how you set them. Maybe men are setting the thermostat?

I would suggest that the reason some men may need safe male spaces, is similar to the reason some women need safe female-only spaces. Not only does toxic masculinity exist, toxic femininity also exists, even if it is less pervasive. We live in a highly narcissistic culture where people who don't understand the experiences of those different from themselves feel entitled to shit on them.

That said, we should be highly suspicious of those with an axe to grind making prescriptions about what it means to be male.

This was quite a few years ago, but a friend of mine said he'd tried Linux but had switched back because some clipboard feature he was used to using didn't work (sorry, I forget the details). He was a programmer to, so perfectly capable of troubleshooting or finding some alternative tool. I just stared at him dumbfounded.

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it this way, but was he sitting in a tank that was itself flying in the jet? Because that would be even more awesome.

Also a good evolutionary tool for helping you avoid food poisoning!

Their baldness makes them extra aerodynamic.

Lots of autopsies on female cadavers.

It doesn't surprise me that you're getting limited access to your grandkids if you are not respecting their boundaries, that is, their rules. That they are kooky is beside the point.

Simply taking out the possibly to make "It's possible for me to lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder" does not work. "It's possible" means right now and does not work with the if part. What's needed is something like the subjunctive or a tense change.

"It would be possible for me to lift 400 pounds if I became a bodybuilder."

"It will be possible for me to lift 400 pounds after I became a bodybuilder."

you can even bring your own customization, like, say, a nickle!

"The same" always means "these aspects I'm noticing" and not these other aspects I'm not noticing. And when there are aspects I'm not used to they tend to stand out and eclipse the aspects i'm used to and take for granted. Whole genres that i never listen to "sound the same."

Ping pong. You might think all the humiliating losses as my reflexes slow down might become hard to take, but if they don't bother me now, why should it bother me later?
