If the one that gets selected is one that could beat Trump, that would be a good thing.

Sure. Trump should drop out. But since he won't it's critical that the other mainstream political party nominate someone who can beat him.

If at age 82 he's only healthy enough to be active every other day he's not going to be in good shape at age 86.

Obviously the answer is no. We all know that. Why are we pretending it's an unknown?

Stunts can be useful for little known causes. For things like global warming where everyone knows about it, just not everyone agrees with you about what to do about it, these just alienate people. But they can make the protestors feel self important and that's what really matters.

I'm pretty sure Trump isn't planning on deporting his wife. At least as long as she doesn't divorce him.

So I'll be perfectly honest. I haven't seen anything of season 4. And subtly has never been one of their strong suits. But if it has gotten so on the nose that even these idiots see it for what it is, I'm concerned it might not be that good.

Noisy questions would have dragged the percentages back towards the mean. If the larger corpus is where they got the percentiles from, that's not going to be very accurate.

So I skimmed through the paper. Caveat, I am at a bar so I'm a little intoxicated, wasn't paying complete attention to it, and reading it a phone. But it sounds like they based it off a much larger corpus of questions and removed the noiser questions.

In fairness that was season 3. But I don't recall seasons 1 or 2 being that subtle...

You can milk anything with nipples.

That's actually true even with males. Male mammals that retain nipples can lactate as well if they have the right hormones. And yes that includes men.

Women do have larger areolas than men (according to the Wikipedia, an average of 38.1mm vs 28mm) but of course there is overlap.
