Denmark has always had some pretty tough immigration laws, I believe.

Maybe they realize their democratic socialist “utopia” would fall apart if there were untold immigrants there on the “tear,” but not contributing to it.
Aww…it’s so cute! Haha.

Nice work, Darth!
One of my favorite lines from the movie is when Allen is fighting the rock monster, and Rockwell’s suggestion is to:

quote:

A slightly heavy woman is a sign of fertility and had been until the 1920s


Definitely depends on the time and culture, but there’s a reason why men see the “hourglass figure” as attractive. The appropriate bust/shoulder to waist to hip ratio is the sign of fertility.

Being “slightly heavy” probably meant more along the lines of being “rich” and eating well, which meant overall better child survival at birth rather than necessarily a higher fecundity.
quote:

The team had set out to determine why, relative to our body size, the human penis is disproportionately thick and long compared to other great apes, when it’s primary function is to “transfer sperm.”


Human pair bonding is strengthened by sex…sex for pleasure…woman have no blatant outward signs of being in at the fertile stage of their cycle…

Behavior, mating systems, and selection have all driven this.

Next they are going to tell us about how human male testicle size is larger than it should be, relative to body size, for a mostly monogamous species…


But the obvious “truth” here is that size really doesn’t “matter” and other traits are more or as important, otherwise average would be larger and the “tails” of the curve would be shorter.
It’s funny because I think some of the original laws against first cousin marriage was because they wanted to break up family money.

It’s sort of wild that the Crazy Irishman from “Braveheart” is the same guy that couldn’t spell “citizen” in “The Departed,” and had those small parts in “Wanted” and “…The Deathly Hallows Part 1.”

Media wants a total weather apocalypse, they always over-hype everything weather related.


“You must be afraid! You must not trust your neighbor! You must not leave your homes! You must continue to tune in to our broadcasts so we can tell you about the dangers in the world!”
The wrestling-circle event was unfair. We all know that low man wins.

That’s nice that some people’s First Amendment rights are more important than others. Thanks for the lesson, Don.

If you pass more than 2 cars you are not pacing traffic and zipper merging correctly.


Sounds like you’re advocating for the early merge and not the zipper merge.

Drivers should use all available open lane space, and then actually zipper merge.

brought him to a wedding, and showered him with gifts: took him on international vacations, to a Taylor Swift concert, and allegedly purchased a Theragun so she could “work on his back.”


Without reading the rest of the thread:

“Ah…so “we” paid for this!”
Hmm. Do we need to retire and replace “does a bear shite in the woods?”
Well, he has had a strained relationship with Strangers in the past. Perhaps the driver wasn’t appropriately Tuning the radio.

Couldn’t this also make it easier, both monetarily and psychologically, to decide that they can pay off their debt?
I really dislike the trend of painting exterior brick walls white or grey.
Had a drive thru girl give me 4 or five nickels when the change I was owed was 56¢. When I gave her the stack back, she looked surprised.

I’m not sure if the problem was math deficiency, inattention, or she was just trying to give me something hoping I wouldn’t notice because her drawer was out of change. Held up the line for a bit while they got me correct change, unfortunately. Haha.

I think you’re confusing/combining Walker Howard and Eli Holstein, even though Howard did leave LSU for Ole Miss and Kiffin…
