I must post and support any topic mentioning Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

It's a great musical comedy that parodies the "crazy ex-girlfriend" trope and gets surprisingly deep and emotional with real problems people face, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and even suicidal inclinations.

And somehow the show manages to portray all these things with kickass original songs that span just about every musical genre. The whole series (only 4 seasons) is available on Netflix.

Here is another great song that makes fun of things that women (and men) often do:

This happens in so many movies and TV shows.

I was watching this show called Under the Dome were a city magically got sealed in a dome and people were keeping secrets I stop watching soon.

Ugh I stopped watching the show for this very reason. The drama was so contrived that it got irritating.

Heroes was another show that went this route, and one of the reasons the post season 1 episodes were so bad. So many issues came from stupid misunderstandings that could be solved immediately if people just listened.

I just came in to say that he doesn't represent modern seventh day adventists. It's bad enough the group gets mistaken for a cult but then guys like him show up and give the religion an even worse image. Most people in that particular religion are pretty chill and mostly worry about eating healthy as part of being a good christian.

There are multiple ways. Schools generally use one or more of these strategies:
- Webcam software that watches you take the test
- Locking software that prevents you from opening other tabs or browsers
- Each question is timed so you wouldn't have enough time to look up the answer anyways
- Problem solving questions that have you show your work; much harder to find answers
- Auto-generated problems that insert random numbers or variables, making it impossible to find the answer online
- Design the test to be open book from the beginning, so you are expected to look up the answer, but the questions are worded in such a way that you need to know what you are doing to even know where to look/what to look for.
- Avoid tests altogether and assign papers

I have done many of these as a professor except the first two.

also annoyed by the people who insist on riding their fucking bike on a busy 45 MPH road for fun. just fuck off. like, if you can't afford or don't have a car and you need to bike to work / etc, fine, but if you're riding along for fun then you're an asshole.

THIS.

My home is in a neighborhood off a two-lane road at the top of a hill. I have to drive up the hill on that road to finally get home. The road has no sidewalks or a bike lane. Yet for some reason, cyclists love using this road. One, two, or sometimes even a group of cyclists take that road uphill, then slow down tremendously as they go up it for half a mile. Meanwhile, I'm in my car slowly pacing behind them. I can't pass them on the second oncoming lane, because the hill obstructs any potential oncoming traffic, so it's possible someone could suddenly pop in and hit me. So I'm basically driving 10 mph up that hill until I can finally pass the cyclists.

I've always been an LG person, even though no one I know uses them. I currently have the LG G8X Dual Screen. I never realized I wanted a phone with two usable screens until I got this one.

Though I'm really looking forward to the upcoming LG Wing coming out in 2021. I love the swivel gimmick, plus I'm a pilot so it fits thematically for me lol.

My sister-in-law is a model and this is the most common type of "gig" out there. It's not an original idea. Like 4 out of 5 jobs are just guys with an expensive camera trying to get her naked. Then they get belligerent when she refuses to do nudity. Once she hired an agent this lessened some but didn't completely go away.

The worst part about this nonsense is that I can't even tell anymore if people are just concern trolling or if they really believe the conspiracies that Trump is going to pull off some magical 11th hour wizardry. There are enough people I know irl that really believe Trump has something legitimately up his sleeve. He doesn't. He lost, and it's not going to change.

This is blatantly untrue and people need to stop spreading this. The Supreme Court does not have the authority to just go against a clear winner of the people as is the case here. These fears are as a result of unfounded conspiracy theories, fear mongering, and/or a poor understanding of what happened in 2000.

The Good Place (One of my top 3 favorite shows, though not as "big" as the others, also it just ended this year)
If you're into DC properties, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow are my favorites
Agents of Shield just ended this year, but it was relatively big for a long while

We couldn't get pregnant naturally, but tried all the advice like you are for a few years, and yeah, it seems good on paper but when you're just trying to have a baby and have a strict schedule for years it starts to get weird. >_>

Absolutely. The idea of constant sex on a schedule sounded enticing at first. But once we started doing it, it became very clinical and took the fun out of it. We experimented with new positions and different areas of the house, and that helped for a while, but eventually we pretty much stuck to the same two positions for convenience's sake just so we could get it over with, the ones that would essentially end the process quicker.

Good luck, TC.

My wife and I have been trying for 6 years. Within that time, we fostered 3 kids (but failed to adopt) and then went through an ectopic pregnancy.

But we still hold out hope and are still trying. May be opting for IUI next year.

if ur so smart then why dont you tell us if the 538 model is accurate or not

I never claimed I was smart. Just that I teach and specialize in statistics.

But to answer your question, which part? There's a lot of models it has put out.

Personally, I think it's pretty strong in it's predictions for President and House. I'm erring on the side of caution that we will flip the Senate, though. Some of those polls don't have me convinced.

I'm seeing Biden winning the presidency and the dems retaining the House, but will be just shy of taking the Senate.

Hopefully I'm wrong but that's my take on it.

Time only applies to things that are set in motion in a three-dimensional space. When something vibrates faster, it moves forward in time; when it vibrates slower, it moves "backward" or is delayed in time. Anything that exists on just the material plane is temporary; anything that exists on a higher, immaterial plane (like our souls) is eternal.

What you would consider the concept of eternity is actually just all points of space and time being interconnected. It will not feel like an eternity, because if you exist on a higher plane or dimension that is not governed by three-dimensional laws such as motion, matter and gravity, then there is no flow of time because there's no three-dimensional matter occupying a point in space.

I'll admit, this is fascinating stuff to learn. This is the kind of thing I'd read about in my leisure time if I had leisure time lol.

Note that trusting the polls doesn't mean 90% turns into 100%, or that 10% turns to 0%.

Statistics desperately need a boost in the public education spheres.

Agreed. I'm a statistics professor and for our class in the spring, I had the students follow the democratic primary polls. I had them, in groups, look at the polls and taught them how to evaluate them based on their methodology and interpret their results.

Then I had them guess who would win the primary based on their evaluations, and to see if it matched what the media was reporting. Surprisingly, some of them predicted a Biden win even when the polls were showing Bernie as the crowd favorite for a while there.

Statistics literacy is an important skill that most of the population does not have nor do they care to have.

This is something that has bothered me, too. If there is no afterlife, I'm afraid of dissolving into nothingness. But if there is an afterlife, I'm afraid of existing for eternity. Feels like a lose/lose situation here.

TC, I recommend you watch the TV show The Good Place with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. It's an existential comedy about a group of people who die and go to "the good place". It's really hard to describe this show past that without spoiling it as they throw a twist at you every few episodes that affects the trajectory of the rest of the show.

But I'll say this. In addition to being a hilarious show, it tackles the afterlife in a way that makes you feel at peace about it. Despite the homages to heaven and hell, the show is not religious and doesn't really touch on that angle at all. It's more about confronting your greatest fears and learning to accept the unknown.

The show is only four seasons (with about 12 episodes per season) and is available on Netflix. It's a half-hour comedy so it shouldn't be too much of an investment.

yeah it is missing some context. If they were told beforehand to draw a pair of creepy underwear after reading a story that would change the story here. Hopefully the case

According to the article, they did read a book about a creepy haunted underwear. It was a female librarian who assigned it as a follow-up activity to the book.

My assumption is that it was likely an old lady librarian during story time having the kids do a silly activity and, being new to online education, was oblivious to how creepy the assignment sounds.

When I was a teaching assistant a while back, I recall a similar situation with a teacher and a kindergarten class, but it was in person. The kids read a story about a magical clothes drawer and the socks and underwear came alive at night to go on adventures. The kids were asked to draw a picture of the story in class.

I'm willing to believe this situation was likely less malicious and more ignorant. No guarantees, though.

- National polls in 2016 were not actually far off; they accurately predicted the popular vote, which Hillary won
- It was the state and local polls that missed the mark, but even then, not by that much
- The problem was the media overhyped the national polls much more showing a decisive Hillary victory when the localized polls, especially in many swing states, showed a closer election, especially towards the last week

With that being said, here are some differences in 2020:
- Turnout is much bigger than 2016, one of the things that messed with 2016 predictions was the low voter turnout
- Less undecided voters this time around. In 2016 they unexpectedly voted majority trump, which polls didn't account for, so less chance of a surprise here
- Noneducated white voters were underpolled and underweighted in polls, so they surprised with high turnout. Since then, they have been weighted and accounted for
- COVID-19 by itself will likely change things up this time around with unpredictable results
- People are voting much earlier, making votes less volatile to "October surprises"
- Trump is no longer a wild card. He has a record to compare him to so people are coming in with a more concrete opinion of him, either loving or hating him

Those are some of the main reasons this time it is different.

Idk, title seems kinda click bait. The source is 3 donors

That source is actually taking the info from another source linked at the end of the article with much more comprehensive information.

This is why I hate news articles that simply repeat what another news article says, but condensed. They omit certain facts to give an incomplete picture at best, to completely warp the story at worst.

We should make it a habit to link to the first source instead of the copy cat (Daily Beast instead of Raw Story in this case).

These options are a bit extreme, but if you tapered them down a bit (submissive girl more adventurous in bed, or dominant girl more submissive in bed, with none of that dom/sub stuff in the OP), I'd go with the latter. I have a thing for powerful women in authority positions who allow to be told what to do in the bedroom. My wife fits that category.

Shy girls are boring to me, regardless of how they are in bed. I want someone more exciting for the day-to-day activities.

People who do Surveillance and 'theft protection' are all secretly creeps.
Really anyone who 'checks the cameras' often is a creep.

Can confirm. A security guard at our college got fired for creeping on the girls hanging out in the dorm lounges at night through the security feeds. He got caught when he went up to a girl one day and complimented her on her pajamas from the night before.

care to share? it's something on my list, but i'm nervous to look. everything is so f***ing expensive it just makes me shut back down.

Here is a before/after pic (taken after the transplant area healed). You can see how the thinning area in the front is much fuller now.

Prices vary. For a quality transplant, you are looking at around $6k on the lower end. It goes up from there depending on propensity of balding. They do offer financing options.

Worth the investment imo.

care to share? it's something on my list, but i'm nervous to look. everything is so f***ing expensive it just makes me shut back down.

Without going too deep into the science of it all, there are hairs in a guy's head that are programmed to never die. Doctors aren't 100% sure why that is, but those hairs are the ones in the back of your head and the sides. It's why most/all men lose their hair at the top and front but not the back and sides.

Basically, they take those hairs (the ones that don't die) and put them in the parts of your head where the hair died. It's still the same durable hair, so it will never die. It will just keep regrowing over and over again. This is much harder to do if your balding has gotten to the point where you have more hair missing than hair remaining, but in many situations you can replace your missing hair with new, permanent hair.

Let me look and see if I can find any before-after pictures.

Id get one. Its just temporary right? Once the skin heals your head will look normal even if you shave it?

Depends on how much you are transplanting. For more full transplants, you will have a little bit of scarring where they removed the hair follicles for the transplant, but it's hardly noticeable unless you fully shaved your head. And you shouldn't see any trace in the new spot where the hair went.
