When known trolls post video links, said videos rarely get watched. I'm surprised you couldn't put that together.

Doctor: “Okay Steve, this is your first prostate exam. Just stay calm and try not to get an erection” Patient: “Ummm… Doc, my name is Brian” Doctor: “Yeah sorry, my name is Steve”

You guys are right, Ellis is too small to be Cooper. I converted their heights to centimeters (which makes more sense to me) and Ellis' 1.67m compared to Coopers 1.85m is too much of a height difference. Ellis was actually a really small guy and that would have been noticed by the people who interacted with Cooper.

This will all end up getting litigated, with the DOJ winning the case, likely in front of SCOTUS. Just like Congress is trying to stop DOJ from getting the phone contents of Rep Perry. That too will likely end up in front of SCOTUS, where the DOJ will also win.

My wife thinks I don’t respect her privacy enough. At least, that’s what it says in her diary.

Spring diatoms can add up to 6" in height.

OK, at least I thought it was good; it's a cheat sheet Cheat Sheet To me, just being aware helps me to question the biases. And to accept some (I'm always going to look for the good; I'm always going to emphasize politeness and respect over conflict -- those are how I'm built). Wendy P.

This issue combined with performance enhancing drug issues may lead to sports not classifying by gender, but by chemical markers.

As a blanket statement, definitely wrong. But statistics are on the side of increased muscle mass, and increased muscle mass is associated with adolescent boyhood. That's an issue that doesn't impact social performance, but it can affect athletic performance -- ergo the reason for forbidding performance-enhancing drugs in many sports. A performance-enhancing drug won't, in fact, make me into a world-class athlete, but it might improve my performance when combined with the right training (which, were I an athlete, I might be doing anyway). We as a society haven't gotten this right yet. And it's not up to people who are mostly past high-level competitive athletics to decide. I played co-ed volleyball when I was working (company leagues). It wouldn't have mattered in the least if there had been a transgender man or woman on the team. That's reality for the vast overwhelming majority of us -- it just doesn't matter. Let's leave it to the people for whom it does matter to work out. Note that it only matters to Tucker Carlson etc. for the ratings. Wendy P.

I'd give Jared some credit if he actually came up with the compromise, but he didn't. I will however note that you are clearly fine with peddling intelligence information for personal gain, just as long as something else positive also happens. Once again, you are showing that this is political for you and has nothing to do with National Security.

In the late 70's, rainbows were very popular as canopy patterns. I don't believe it was a statement in those days... Wendy P.

The album cover came from before the rainbow was synonymous with 'pride.' I can understand why someone whose only exposure to rainbow flags was connected to taking a stance regarding sexual preference might assume that that was the message. Similarly, any previous definitions of 'gay' have been eclipsed by its current usage. I can understand why someone might recoil at the prospect of buying a ticket to a concert and finding themselves being 'educated' in one way or another - whether they agree with the position or not (or care one way or another, for that matter). As Frank Zappa put it, "Shut up 'n play yer guitar." BSBD, Winsor

Or even ever saw the cover.

Sure looks like none of those ‘fans’ ever bought the original album

Deities often have to change to meet the needs of their servants.

That's Woke Jesus, the one that encourages homelessness and tries to groom kids to be weak and compassionate. Real Jesus would never put up with that gay nonsense. Neal Stephenson explained this in one of his books. He talks about Ameristan, where a new kind of Christianity develops. This one burns crosses. But they have nothing to do with the KKK - perish the thought! - THEIR burning crosses are all about how they don't believe the "deception" in the Bible that Jesus was an effeminate, leper-loving beta who let himself be crucified. That he was crucified was a "conspiracy by the elites to keep people weak and pacified." Real Jesus would never let that happen. He just spent a lot of time kicking Roman ass and heading back to Heaven to see his dad whenever he wanted to.
