I do enjoy my own jokes. If you want something done properly ...

but I will never make the mistake of valuing grammar or spelling - I'd rather wear a tie ffs. Logic and meaning is good, I recommend you try more of that.

As for ties, haven't worn one in 10 years. Found these in the recesses of the wardrobe just for you:

No I really really don't want to be part of the cool kiddies club.

Excellent. You don't know it but you probably have people like me to thank.

Spelling and grammar are on the way out to. Just a few fuddy duddies still bleating on about it as if they can't bear to admit they spent so much time learning stuff of so little value.

I don't remember where I got any of those. I do remember that one cost like £150, I think it's that stripy burgundy one. Pretty sure I was drunk when I bought it lol. Or maybe it was on expenses. Can't think of any other scenario where I pay that much for a tie.

Nazi couple yells "white power" and attacks a Hispanic & Black couple in their car in Torrance, CA

Itzel Lopez told KTLA last week that she and her boyfriend were going home after a birthday dinner when they noticed two people in a pickup truck driving behind them for several minutes. As they approached a red light at the intersection of Artesia Boulevard and Prairie Avenue around 10:30 p.m., the truck got in front of them, police said.

Both Howells then got out of their truck and approached the car Lopez was in, which is when she started recording on her phone.

Gregory Howell can be heard yelling “white power” while doing a Nazi salute in front of Lopez’s boyfriend, who is Black. Rachel Howell is heard yelled “Only white lives matter,” along with profanities.

“We tried to get away. She kept standing in front of the car, and wouldn’t let us leave,” Lopez said.

Then Gregory grabbed a shovel from his truck and hit their car as Lopez’s boyfriend drove away, police said. The couple later determined that Rachel also damaged the driver’s side mirror.

I did wonder if you might have meant mammals but you did an impressive job of not just being unclear but actually managing to very explicitly say something completely different. And as far as reproductive strategies go, everything I talked about was still sexual reproduction, which seemed to be a distinction you were trying to draw in your original post.

People born with female reproductive organs, so generally cisgender women and transgender men.

My original point was there is no continuum of biological sex. It is a binary system.

And this isn't really addressing gender at all, as that is a cultural category system, and hence arbitrary by definition.

I'm going to open the o/u of posts d2 typed up then deleted in the Group Psych thread at 2.5. Might have to shade the over at -120 though.

Friendly $20 on the under, but I like your style sir. It had crossed my mind to write something up to post in there.

If only I were as conscientious as you give me credit for though; I just usually post whatever stream of consciousness comes into my tipsy mind. I leave the deleting to you guys, you're the professionals.

Lol. I thought there was a palpable sense in the air that you really wanted to give chez a piece of your mind but weren't. Poor read.

As you're here D2, the answer is yes. While I really really don't ever want to be one of the cool kiddies, I do enjoy observing them at play.

I'm not sure what the question was, but any time a stranger on the internet accosts me out of the blue with "the answer is yes", it's usually a portent of good things to come.

Also blurring things is when one organ produces two gametes.

The one you asked me a few hours ago.

I hate to ever say it but maybe lay of the alcohol - or more hopefully, drink better alcohol.

This stuff is pretty crisp, and picked up a nice variety earlier from my local dealer. Should last a few days.

Spoiler:

Anyway, obviously I remember the question. It was "don't you want to be one of the cool kids?" or words to that effect. You seem to have answered it as "yes" and "no" in the same breath though.

I feel like COVID is driving me to be an alcoholic. Been drinking damn near 5 nights a week since lockdown started.

I, on the other hand, discovered that my usual lifestyle is called "quarantine".

I did refer to that en passant but no I was answering the one you asked a few hours ago. ~5 hours ago to me more precise if that helps you.

Not sure how you so misunderstood the answer but maybe it will help you when you remember the question. Maybe not.

I've been drinking far less. I'm really missing nights at the pub.

I used to do Fri/Sat nights only. I broke that a couple times and then just sorta ran with it.

I should probably do a dry week just to make sure I haven't become a fiend.
