Also I was convinced that grilled cheese sandwiches were called "girlcheese sandwiches" for like half my life
When I was a kid I'd watch my dad play colonization, but I misread some words and he found it too funny to correct.
It was a strange day when I learned that revolutionary guns were not "muskrats" and mounted soldiers were not "dragons."
They liked watching me play 'taxi game' when they were small, which was actually GTA3 taxi missions where I followed all the traffic laws.
People who don't immediately break the law in GTA are terrifying.
I hadn't driven a car when I first played GTA3 so, for whatever reason, I went at a reasonable speed, stopped at every intersection, and made proper turns.
Those shallow-looking things in the backyard are flower beds, I swear.

while making sure that last trivia fact what correct I added like 12 bestiality websites to my browser history and discovered that kangaroo penises look really spindly and weird.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
the rhetoric in the SC shooting thread is a funhouse mirror version of the charlie hebdo one

Can anyone recommend any good books about like, American military history? Maybe the Marines?
These're probably a bit more specific than maybe what you'd be interested in, but two good books on my shelf right now are:
"Benevolent Assimilation": The American Conquest of the Philippines, 1899-1903, by Miller
and Women on the Civil War Battlefield, by Hall

Giant Bomb playing lockdown on repeat when their stream needs to take a break gets inexplicably funnier each time the song repeats. Apparently they've been doing this 3 years running.
@Spool32 no, because then you'd get half the saltiness taste.
If you look at the bottle, it's a mixture of ionic compounds - sodium chloride and potassium chloride, rather than just sodium chloride. If you're trying to reduce the level of sodium in your diet, but have no issue with potassium, then you can get the same saltiness level for half* the sodium content.
*actually if it's a 1:1 mixture you'd need to add a little more than half as much, since apparently the perception of saltiness with potassium ions is 60% as strong as that of a same-molar solution of sodium ions but w/e

Jefferson's War: America's First War on Terror
It's about how Europeans in the late 18th century were paying ransoms to Tripoli pirates and Thomas Jefferson said, "Nope. We're not going to pay. We're going to build a dry dock and some warships and America's navy is going to be formidable."

Ok I got bored, a 50/50 mix would be 80% as powerful in terms of saltiness perception, so getting the same amount of saltiness requires 1.25 times the original amount by molecular number
Oh fuck but then we have to factor in atomic weight for mass and it's like midnight Shiv's Circadian Time (it is nine o clock Shiv's Location Time) so screw it
In Brazil, different employers often report different racial classifications for the same worker. We use this variation in employer-reported race to identify wage discrimination. Workers whose reported race changes from non-white to white receive a wage increase; those who change from white to non-white realize a symmetric wage decrease. As much as 40 percent of the raw racial wage gap is explained by the employer’s report of race, after controlling for all individual characteristics that do not change across jobs. The results are consistent with workers manipulating perceived race in an environment where racial classification is subjective, but discrimination persists.

Incredibly pretty smart new volunteer gal "Aww, are you not coming in on Sunday? I'm only going to be here on Sunday..."
My Mouth: "Oh, well actually I might come in for a while on Sunday as well, blah blah blah"
My Brain: "Oh jesus christ, why do you keep doing this? Stop getting all derpy over every new pretty face you idiot!"
I'm srsly so dumb.

My mom bought me some lipstick
I normally use really subtle stuff, so I just wipe it off on my wrist when I'm done
This uh, this apparently isn't a thing you can always do. Now I have twin shiny pink streaks down my arm.

WAIT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WASN'T A REAL GAME? I thought the goal of the game was to obey the law! WAIT.
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
You are a man of Iron Willpower
I'm not sure I'm even capable of following all the traffic laws in a GTA game
are you experiencing plato's allegory of the cave in real time
Haha no that was Grand Theft Auto.
