Has there ever been any kind of study on why old people wear their pants so high?

I think it's because they've lost height and their pants don't fit anymore.

People in the US are concerned about I/P because of the US's close association with Israel.

This particular sort of culture war bullshit generally happens because hicks resent other people for not being as unsophisticated as they are. See also: irrational hate for granola, bagels, arugula etc.

Christopher Hitchens was an imperialist piece of poo poo though. And the catholic church could easily be a force for good in the world if they'd just stop telling Africans not to use condoms; they do all kinds of things that are worthwhile.

I don't want to further derail the anti-vac thread but look how competent the CDC is with their deadly pathogens. I don't see any reason not to trust THESE guys with the last living Variola samples, no siree!

That's a pretty amazing name for a coroner.

You know I can't even remember if he won? This was at least eight years ago.

Is FivethirtyEight good now? I remember when the site launched and a lot of people said it had a lot of problems. Have they fixed those or does it still suck? I really only read fivethirtyeight for the electoral projections and I can get my sports analysis elsewhere.

It turns out my dad wasn't with Ollie North! He's just a piece of human poo poo who lied about everything other than being a Republican! He's a fake marine instead of a real one so I don't need to deal with any awkward poo poo at all!

Also I was an accident resulting from a one-night-stand. :v:

Terrified white people?

Fun game for ethnic foods, go to yelp and see how many 1 star reviews hinge on "WOAH THIS IS WEIRD". My favorite Ethiopian joint has piles of 5 stars saying how wonderful it is and then there's always like 1 or 2 bad ones all "WE HAD TO EAT WITH BREAD AND IT WAS HOT WHAT THE gently caress ETHIOPIA?!" I imagine if you're starting an 'odd' ethnic place you worry about that factor.

i once went to an Ethiopian restaurant with some people and they kept making loud jokes to the effect of "What Ethiopian food? Are we going to eat dirt patties? Get it they have constant famine lol" and it was actually kind of funny the first time but then it was really embarrassing.

I don't understand why we shouldn't use technology to try and ensure that future generations of humans don't have to deal with terrible illnesses that have plagued us. I'd even be willing to consider letting people screen for really in-depth poo poo like intelligence or attractiveness if it were possible. The implications creep me out, but there's a difference between my thinking something is icky and its being morally wrong. I'm pretty much fully in favor of a woman's right to choose and I'm not all that interested in scrutinizing what reason women have for making reproductive choices.

You guys think American exceptionalism is irritating, try on Texan exceptionalism for a second. I don't know if people who live in Delaware are like "Delaware is a unique and the best state ever and should lead the nation in everything because we know how to do stuff right" but that's what it's like in Texas. With Texas not Delaware.

Well I used to live in Massachusetts but they really are better at everything so...

EDIT: NOTE: Didn't actually do anything illegal.
