  • From the US: I’m over 30 and this is the first time I’ve heard surrogacy referred to as human trafficking. And now I need to sit and think.

    It’s always felt a little bit creepy to me, but I’ve also never wanted kids and the idea of pregnancy for any reason would be traumatic. So I’m starting out heavily biased. I think if you take the money out, it no longer counts…?

    But the idea would be so out of left field that it would mostly be dismissed out of hand, probably even by most women.



  • I agree with all your other statements, but offer you this one counterpoint: you’re getting the interesting ones.

    Some program out there calculated once that *I* have a low to moderate chance of being female, but very little of anything else I look up could be considered advertiser friendly. Their only option remaining was to make all my targeted ads dumbass sweatshop clothes and feminine hygiene products forever.

    Mine went with commode as well, and my 70ish aunt is the only born American I’ve ever heard insist on calling it a buggy.

    @Kid_Thunder, mind if I ask the general era you were growing up? Because I’m a millennial from the triad and we say soda. Soda pop in elementary, but I’m not sure whether we picked that up from media.

    It would be interesting to work out around when the shift happened.

    I figured I had worse things in my history and my personal TSA agent deserved to see this too, but nothing comes up except weird non-porn crypto stuff, a fully-clothed Shadowheart, and a magazine cover with muffins on it.

    Don’t let this be my legacy.








  • You know? I’ve never had the good fortune to be familiar with the series and it’s on my wishlist now for later. It IS more modern than my usual tastes, but heaven forbid I play something new and find out I like it. Seems like there’s spoilers in the third for the second one, though…

    That said, my favorite part of this photo is they actually tried to do the math. If time = distance ÷ speed, the earth has a circumference of 24,901 miles, and the fastest snail’s top speed is 0.03mph, they would encircle the earth in 830,033 hours. So I suspect this snail cheated and hitched a ride at some point, likely near the end when it got tired, but did most of it on foot
