"Sorry, Lord of the Force. I get the prequels mixed up :)."

I think it's really funny that people like this use science to back up their claims. Diversity is the single largest reason for evolutionary success, without diversity populations can wither away to disease and environmental stressors. Most of those people have such a narrow view of who is acceptable to populate the earth with, which increases the chances that undesirable mutations flourish in the gene pool

Also, there are species with thousands of sexes, some that change gender, and many that reproduce without any genetic contact with another organism. There's lots of ways to get to "evolutionary success", and all of them have nothing to do with whether a certain individual gets laid

This reads like a deliberate misunderstanding of the definition of "evolutionary success", which is that offspring are born and survive to create a new generation.

That whole mess of words that person wrote is actually why some biologists have been trying to reframe the definition. There is a book published by Oxford that even says "success is a value word", which means in science that it's measurable, not that it's tied to worth.

My local grocery store started selling kratom sodas next to the refrigerated coffee drinks. I think that's completely bonkers. There's no info about how it can affect you on the can, it just says to not drink more than one a day

I think it's okay if someone walks past and you can smell their fragrance. If you can smell someone down the hall or across the room, that's a real issue. I would always know if one of my professors was in just by opening the door to the building, and no one could tell him it was too much lol

A few of my friends and I do the same with a few words, especially colour. But, it's to do with the books we read as kids because internet access wasn't common yet

That tattoo looks suspiciously similar to a swastika

My succulents keep making babies and I have run out of people to give them to xD

I need to find a cutting/ fallen leaf/seed swap meet or something

Genetics are weird, sometimes we have very different bodies than the women in our family. My mother and her sisters are five cup sizes away from my cup size. It's bonkers. If you don't mind, I'll put a suggestion below in spoiler text for those days when you want to have a little more ooh la la. Also! Five months is such a short time! I had high estrogen into adulthood and it still took several years to grow to my final cup size. It can happen quickly for many people, some of us are just late bloomers :)

Also, you can kinda emphasize your chest by wearing different styles of clothes. High rise mom jeans and a crop top can shift the focus from your belly to that cute section of midriff and lead the eyes up from there, that's something that has worked well for me at any size, even when I was above 35 BMI

Increasing the cost of steel will definitely not impact the building of all the new manufactoring facilities he claimed to want /s

Which is why it's so interesting Katie Miller joined him to do pr or whatever, while her husband is still on Trump's coattails

I mean was it planned for Elon to be the fall guy from the start or is this a continuation of the messy drama from Trump's first presidency?

I have been up and down the scale for most of my life. My main issue with my weight is how I'm treated at different sizes. People like and respect thin me, but I'm a pain in the butt and not worth anyone's time at my high weights. It's very difficult to not internalize that

A dove drops a feather next to a towering stack of completed requests. St. Anthony picks it up and sighs

"This guy is asking me to find his keys for the tenth time this week! I wish I was the patron saint of memory, because this guy really needs one, ugh."

At the time, you prayed to whoever you thought got that particular job done

Then Catholics came along and replaced this with patron saints.

(technically Catholics believe they are asking the patron to intercede and advocate for whatever the devotee is asking for, but it's still funny to me that they still fill the roles of the lesser gods of antiquity)

Next he'll be telling celiac sufferers to micro dose gluten

Children don't always leave to form new households in China. It's common, especially for unmarried children, to continue to live with their parents after they've grown into adults.

I'm actually kind of surprised he hasn't worn a gold suit yet given how much he loves that color

Zippers are a little tricky to alter if you have limited sewing experience.

Here's a guide on how to adjust the crotch, with diagrams.

I would also look into how to "take in" garments, OP! That will make them fit a little more snuggly
