Siblings share the same parents, so probably not.

You’re most likely Xth cousins Y removed.

I’m not checking things for peer review, but a lot of bullshit can be filtered out by a simple Google search. If Aunt Brenda posts a major event on Facebook, but it’s not on any news site, she probably fell for a lie.

Sounds like you aren’t “normal”. Personally, I think that’s awesome. I’m not too normal myself. Don’t get caught up in fitting that normal mold. It’s your life, and you may not want or need what most people consider normal.

Dates should be fun. There’s a lot of pressure to “Make sure you do everything right so you can live happily ever after” but that’s not the right way to look at it.

You’re just going on a hike with someone. At the end, you may feel like you’ve made a new friend, or you might realize that this is not someone you want as a friend. No pressure to run off and get married, just start with seeing if this is someone you enjoy spending time with.

Attraction might come, or it might not. Just be honest with the other person. Do what feels right. Don’t let them push you into a relationship that you don’t want, and don’t let them believe that it’s headed that way if you’re sure it isn’t. You may never get past the point of “just friends” but that’s ok, continue being friends, and continue to meet new people until you find someone that flips that switch for you.

Where I live will never be a bomb target. So, I’ll still be here. But you’re right. I’m VERY outnumbered.

No. A lot of them work with each other, but not all toilets are the same.

It’s possible, but once we get involved in the war, we’ll have the means of travel AND the guns, and of course, our insatiable desire to conquer.

They’re better off leaving us alone.

Democrats used to be the conservative party before Nixon (my timing might be off) said “Hold my beer” and turned the Republicans into the regressive Christian theocracy it is today.

So, the civil war thing doesn’t really count because it was a different party with different ideals under the same name.

I know you’re right, but I’m willing to let the use of sub slide, because we all know what it means and community is such a long word.

Like, “Why’s your face so stupid?!”

Does Tom Hanks count? He might beat Jorda ln in fame but Hanks isn’t quite the same as Hank.

Is Jackson a “first” name? Sure, I understand that some people use it as a first name, but I would say someone named Jackson Smith has two last names.

Michael Jordan though, that’s legit.

I am Joe’s intestinal tract.

What did you buy the Doge at? Mines up 200%

I have a Taoist reading suggestion for you.

The Tao of Pooh

Turns out, Winnie the Pooh (from the original literature) embodies a lot of Taoist principles, and this book explains the parallels. My brother read it a long time ago and passed it on to me, because he said it reminded him of me. Turns out I’ve unknowingly been a Taoist my whole life. I just didn’t know it until I read the Tao of Pooh.

I do NOT recommend the Tao de Jing. Although it is essentially considered the “Tao Bible”, it’s all over the place and doesn’t really spell out what Taoism is all about.

What the fuck does that guy think a Nazi is?

Yeah, I was trying to avoid THAT example because it’s become too cliche at this point.

Nobody seemed to mind when Hans Gruber fell from Nakatomi Plaza.

Or when the Wicked witch of the West got splashed with water.

Or when The Death Star exploded.

And I don’t give a fuck how rapists and felons, and the people that defend them, feel about what I say.

No. Tablets come with paper included. Binders, you need to provide your own paper.

It’s very likely SHE called it that, or her parents, but they’ve always been wrong.

WE are the liberal think tanks.

But nobody’s listening.
