He has to use a giant sharpie because that’s the only way he can see where his signature’s going to wind up.

that’s not at all how evolutionary adaptation works. We are full of parts that are no longer useful and are infact sometimes downright more risky to have just because they aren’t likely to negatively impact our ability to procreate.

Do you plan to provide examples (other than the appendix and tonsils, that can be harmful to have if infected) of these useless organs we’re so full of? And why would I associate the foreskin, which has a clear protective use case, with these many, many other apparently useless/dangerous  organs we’re chock full to the brim with? 

If you’re going to make a claim about evolutionary adaptation works, you have the burden to back your claim with more than just vague proclamations.

That sounds exactly like the kind of thing a dirty groofer would say!

When you’re invested in the kayfabe to such an extent that it completely defines the nature of your very identity and existence, the lie is made real, and the odds of you being successfully extracted and deprogrammed go ever distant with each passing moment.

You should check out Estonia, if you can. Great country bordering Russia, really cool people, and really beautiful scenery to be found all over. The Old Town (Vanalinn) is incredible, especially during the winter, with its amazing medieval architecture, like Paks Margareeta (Fat Margaret), a really wide tower built in the early 16th century.

Absolutely can’t recommend enough an extended visit.

They didn’t say they had issues taking a shit, just that they usually do their crying while they shit. They may have perfectly fine bowl movements, and the crying and shitting may not necessarily be directly related to each other.

Given that language is prescriptive, “random” has, at least in regards to colloquial usage, rather lost its dictionary definition of “made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision”. Hell, I use it colloquially, as well. There’s nothing wrong with this usage.

I’m just trying to provide a bit of a humorous comparison between the usages by somewhat demonstrating what the charcuterie might look like if the dictionary definition was to be used, instead.

Language is descriptive, so there’s nothing stopping you from using “rooves”, other than what typically results from using words others may not understand. Get enough people over long enough a timeline, and “rooves” becomes the norm, and “roofs” becomes archaic. Just gotta put in the effort.

Oh. Well, yeah. God fucking dammit, indeed. I’m sorry to hear that.

Yeah, I don’t really expect them to functionally change. When you’re that far down the cult pipeline, very little can be done.
