No, not today, but give it a couple of years.

I have spent the last 12 years trying to convince my wife that I am not trying to trick her. I really do think she is that beautiful.

I had a similar thought. I assume there was a /s missing from the end here, but the contrast with the recent pearl grabbing about Biden is kind of hilarious (and sad).

It is cheaper to live in Europe for the duration of the degree. I have friends who did this.

Imprint fossils preserve feathers and other soft tissues. No ears.

An existential crisis is an important part of growing up.

Private school, Mississippi.

I was a YEC before going to university. I studied geology. After two years, I accepted that evolution happened. After four years, I was an atheist. I went on to get a doctorate, and I have published quite a few papers about rocks that are >2 billion years old.

As a kid, there were literally 0 authority figures in my life that accepted that evolution happened. It was taken as a given that it was ridiculous. My biology teacher skipped the chapter on evolution, saying, “this is controversial.”

Patience, love, and making critical information available gives kids like I was a chance.

Well… On Earth…

I just think it’s funny that it goes from “terrible heads,” “fierce looking,” “beast head,” “dog teeth,” “two dog-like teeth,” to… “With breasts.” Really a dramatically different category.

Have you seen the FMWC?

Yes, because “family values” means anti gay and anti abortion.

The documentary “The Family” offers the explanation that Russia has a strong traditional family values contingent that appeals to the right-wing idealogy.

It’s one banana, Michael. How much can it cost?

The SEC? Do they still have boats?

That is so true, my fellow human who is definitely a citizen of the United States!

Treason against who? A South African in America who has a company turned off access to Ukraine because Russia wanted it. Hard to say where that would fall in court.

Depends strongly on the community. Every sub discipline has its own standards of respectability. Publishing outside of those constraints can cause articles to be ignored.
