Personally speaking, if i were a basketball player i'd book the extra-legroom seats. This does not appear to have occured to the English basketball team on this plane, who seem confused as to why they can't just have those seats.

"we never used to have all these women in their 30s suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD" listen, I wouldn't have even noticed I have ADHD if I lived in an era where my doctor could ask if I want to lose 5lbs and then hand me enough amphetamines to see the face of God

The graph is wild, but I think the sentiment is good. A lot of people don't understand that you can do a green vote safely. People are wildly misinformed all over.

If you're having a dispute over a game rule, and everything on the Internet disagrees with your interpretation, I can guarantee you that DMing "to hear from the creator" will not result in a different outcome. I'm tempted to just reply "your wife won, dude" every time.

Sperm whales don’t produce the melodies sung by humpback whales. Instead, they rattle off clicks that sound like a cross between Morse code and a creaking door. Here’s why it’s possible they’re communicating in a complex language. Listen to “They Daily.”
