I theorize that the fragile straights aren't actually straight. Which I assume is what the developer is poking fun at with the quotation marks.

Our social default is still to assume that most people are straight. It doesn't make sense for a straight person to have a driving need to prove that they are straight ... unless they think someone would have a good reason to put them into a "non-straight" category.

I recently saw a shirt for sale online that says, "I'm sorry for everything I said when I was evangelical," and that really just about sums it up.

Okay, there are just multiple layers of bad women's anatomy in the original post and in the comments.

Eggs are in the ovaries. Without hormonal birth control, generally one egg (but sometimes more and sometimes none) is released from the ovary, travels down the fallopian tube, and if it is fertilized, implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it passes out of the uterus, the uterine lining is shed (that's menstruation), and the process repeats the following month.

There is no "grandchild" in an ovary, any more than there is a "grandchild" in a testicle.

And if a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus, that's an ectopic pregnancy -- which is not viable because only the uterus has the capability to grow with and provide nourishment to a developing fetus. Not only that, but ectopic pregnancies are generally fatal to the mother (or however that person identifies).

I don't understand how it's legal for a court to order religion-based therapy that costs $1500 per month. That's absolutely insane from every possible angle.

As long as they had source material to follow, the showrunners did okay. When they passed the end of the latest book, it all went to hell.

US politics have moved so far to the right that I'm pretty sure contemporary moderate Democrats are nearly interchangeable with Reagan-era Republicans.

The convicted felon?

Taxi accessibility varies wildly depending on where you are.

I lived in a small city (700k-ish people) for a decade and almost never saw a taxi on the streets. One morning, I locked my keys in the house and had to call a cab to take me to work. It took 30 minutes for a taxi to arrive. I lived literally one block away from the city's taxi depot.

A couple of years later, Uber hit the scene. With their service, I never waited more than 8 minutes for a ride anywhere in the city.

I am old enough to remember that. My, how times have changed.

Also, remember the time that Howard Dean tried to stir up some excitement among his campaign supporters and was knocked as "not being presidential"?

This is truly the Darkest Timeline™.

An older lady and a kid were at South Park in the row in front of me. They didn't make it 10 minutes.

I think that a lot of people in the Boomer and older age ranges never really understood the idea of adult animation, so they just assume that animated shows and films are made for kids.

(But my favorite Parker/Stone walk-out was the obviously Mormon couple who sat in front of us for the first 30 minutes of The Book of Mormon. The guy had the word "Mormon" embossed on his belt. They didn't do their homework before they bought those tickets.)

Opening weekend, my then-fiancé (now husband) and I went to see this movie. I had gone way down the viral marketing rabbit hole before the film came out. I had read all of the websites and watched all of the "supporting evidence" videos. I knew it was a work of fiction, but I was super invested.

The movie ends, the final credits roll, and the woman in front of me looks at her date and says, "That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It wasn't scary at all." Then she turns around to get her sweater off the back of her seat and we make eye contact.

I'm sitting absolutely still, staring straight ahead, tears dripping off my chin.

She didn't say anything else, took her things, and left.

I grew up in a fundamentalist evangelical church, and I had a lot of religious trauma around witches as a kid. Like, my mom made me listen to Mike Wernke and wouldn't let me go trick-or-treating because she believed that witches were sacrificing children to Satan. I had recurring nightmares -- well into my 20s -- about a witch who lived in the woods behind my house who tried to kill me in horrible ways.

So, while I absolutely understand that The Blair Witch Project is not for everyone, it remains the single most terrifying film I've ever seen.

That's most of the programs car dealers buy.. lowest bidder marketing company with no context and little practical experience gets told "we need X" and voila, here's X.

I worked in marketing for a decade, and when my company started trying to court car dealerships, the quality expectation for that segment of our work was basically non-existent. We went from a high-end boutique experience with 99% accuracy and on-time delivery to mass-produced garbage marketing with literally bare-minimum quality control. 1/10, would not recommend.
