Did you know that the Earth doesn't always revolve around the Sun?

Also relevant, from here: The particular statement "some mammals lay eggs" might not be falsifiable but that doesn't preclude it from being scientific...
October 23, 2017 at 10:50
An unfalsifiable claim is scientific if it's deducible from a falsifiable claim. Such a falsifiable claim could be "this is a mammal and it has laid a...

The world does revolve around me.

Oh, was it the Pants on Fire claim that CNN’s ratings are "way down."? Or was he just saying that they're not as good as some other channel? Because, ...

Young people are on the right without even thinking, too. And then young people are on both sides with thinking.

If you time it right and press ESC before the paywall shows (but not too early else the page won't fully load) you can read the full article.

"Who", not "that". Use/mention.

I wasn't being uncharitable. It just wasn't clear to me. You just talked in general about "power imbalance" and gave the examples of an employer and a...

You tell me. You're the one arguing that there's something improper about power imbalances in relationships. So what of Prince William and Princess Ma...

What if one is a hairdresser and the other is a princess (or one a student and the other a prince)?

What's Scottish? Religious heroin?

We were talking about Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky. From what she's said, it wasn't unwanted. So unless there's something else I'm missing, it...

Wow. This is a joke thread. That was a joke. I genuinely had no idea that you'd overreact like that. If you're not in the mood to take a joke, then pe...

Perhaps, but that's not the same as abuse or harassment.

Religion is heroin in Scotland?

Fuck you, idiot.

Clearly you can't relate to a female teenage photographer with time-rewind powers, whereas that's me in a nutshell.

Speaking of lesbians, episode 2 of Life is Strange: Before the Storm is out today. Gotta love those coming-of-age love story games.

Maybe she was just attracted to him and it had nothing to do with "exploiting" him to get ahead. Seems to be what she's saying here:

Camel. It's a reference to a maths problem where a Sheikh leaves 17 camels to his sons in those ratios.

My name isn't Mitch. And how is my comment degrading? The subsequent paragraphs don't seem to explain it.

That there was abuse because of the relationship is not that the relationship was abusive. A bad divorce wouldn’t mean a bad marriage.
October 18, 2017 at 17:48
Y'all just guessing. Gotta actually figure it out.

A man has 17 cigarettes. He gives half to his oldest son, a third to his middle son, and a ninth to his youngest son. What brand are the cigarettes?

Just replace all the politicians with lemons (on both sides of the pond). That'll fix everything.

Originally, but I think it's since spread down to at least Northern England. My dad's from Lancashire, and I picked it up from him.

Now you sound like a proper Englishman. Congratulations on the promotion.
