Censorship aside, some cultures believe that images of vulvas frighten away evil spirits because they're symbolic of life. So who knows? That might work.

It's edumacated, not edumacted. Get it rite!

Same😡

I thought my parents were cold.

I looked at at crime rates in American cities in 2012. The highest was in Flint, Michigan, which still has a lead pipe problem.

The Romans ate off of lead plates and enjoyed watching gladiators fight, women being raped by animals and other atrocities in the Coliseum. I've read dissertations that perpetuated the idea that lead poisoning was a major factor in this cultural phenomenon.

I was born in 1971 and grew up breathing lead fumes in a large city. Yes, I believe leaded gasoline and lead paint have been a serious problem.

My mother used to say "If wishes were horses," and I had no idea where that came from. I didn't get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it's a very old saying so I guess adults weren't always gross.

Just so long as you leave after eating that many eggs.

Why isn't he orange?

Just look at them. They already are an empanada filling.

"Poontang" is an oldie that makes me laugh.

You know what you need to do --end the relationship. It's only going to get worse. Never let someone abuse you if you don't absolutely have to. There might be times that you'll miss her but someone like that will escalate their abuse if you endure it.

I'm old enough to remember when they tried to convert us to metric. I can tell you why.

People tried to force it on us and we don't need the metric system for daily use. Trying to force people to use it isn't going to work. Now, personally, I'd prefer if measurements on rulers and in cars were still given in both systems.

Metric advocates tend to be smug and insulting towards anyone not using the metric system. I have seen this myself more than once. Calling a whole nation stupid because they use a different but functional system of measurement is hardly a good strategy for converting them to your system.

I learned the metric system in school. I understand that the metric system is superior in many sciences. I have strong interests in anthropology. And here I am at 55 and I have never, not once, needed to use metric. Bone measurements are often given in metric but it's not such a big issue that I need to wholly convert to metric.

My question is, what's the big deal? Is the metric system a religion? I've seen evangelical Christians less intent on converting people. Why?

Preloaded with Mx Linux: https://us.starlabs.systems/...

Preloaded with Pop! OS: https://system76.com/laptops

There are many more. Go to distrowatch or search distros by name and you'll find have a link on their site to computers with their system preloaded.

GASP!! Why, the nerve of that guy!

Cat is way better anyway. What other app can you pet and cuddle while it downloads your updates?

Wasn't this from the Original Series? I thought it was the dummy they discovered on the First Federation ship. (I could be wrong, of course.)

Oh, c'mon, Janeway wouldn't have done anything so cruel unless they were trapped in the Gamma quadrant for at least another month.

Fedora. About 20 years ago I installed Fedora on my spare PC. I don't remember the exact date but I can tell you the Fedora version was Yarrow. Yeah, a long time ago.

Anyways, my Fedora Yarrow installation worked great for less than 2 days. One update and I suddenly didn't have internet. The Fedora maintainers decided to drop the driver for my ethernet card even though that particular hardware had existed for only 3 years. I was furious! WTF are you doing dropping drivers for 3 yo hardware?! Yes I can reinstall the driver but I shouldn't have needed to. Linux has always had a hardware support problem and they were dropping drivers for hardware that wasn't even 5 years old.

I've ran mostly Debian -based distros since and never had a similar problem. And I know that it's petty and even silly after all this time but I'm never touching Fedora again.

Oh, it was before 1990. I was a teenager in the 80s and there was a lot of ninjas in movies, cartoons and graphic novels by 1987, I'd say, with it all starting before then.

Hell yeah! It would be a vast improvement.
