Probably, I didn't mean to make it a competition. In both cases it's a nonzero number and every one is a tragedy.

That's why I speak exclusively in Sting lyrics.

Also the clock says it's 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it's established that the clock is unreliable.

How many Einsteins have we missed out on because they were born in America to a working class or poor family or as a person in a marginalized group?

I don't remember that very well, I just remember it describing the scientific method. I probably need to reread that.

I guess need is debatable, but lube makes it better anyway. Why wouldn't you want lube?

Being a child with an ear infection, rather than take me to a doctor to get antibiotics, my parents had my grandmother come over to pray for me and she told me that Jesus was my physician. I just remember wondering why my physician wasn't fucking doing anything about it.

I can relate in that I've never had a desire for someone else to take my name. But my ex-wife wanted to take my name because it would replace her father's name, and that name was problematic to her. She has since changed it to a name she chose for herself. When my current partner married her ex, they both changed their name to one they chose to identify their new family. Those all seem like pretty good reasons.

You make some decent points. But I think the problem with this post and basically all of the comments is overgeneralization.

Like, right you shouldn't sing about rimjobs in Denny's at 10:30am (since you said you're an old person, I assume this is where and when you have lunch).

The image in this post starts with "but I call everyone dude" which can reasonably be interpreted as a response to someone objecting to being called "dude". If you insist on calling someone something that they've told you they don't like, then you're an asshole.

Then the text of this post strays off from that a bit. You don't need to prejudge people and ask them certain questions based on what those people usually prefer. Go about your life, be excellent to each other, and when someone shares something about themselves with you be considerate about it.

There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.
