Just built a house and the most important thing was the height of the toilets. I can never go back.

I get what you're saying. And I agree.

I'm facing my parents' mortality and it feels wrong to have to survive the death of the only people you've known your whole life - who have known you through it all. Not unnatural just not fair. Though life has no obligation to fairness somehow that doesn't ease the pain.

Yes we also park on driveways and drive on parkway. Ships have cargo and trains have shipments. And the true meaning of safe sex is a padded headboard.

Totally agree and there is more information passed over in animal urine. E g. Diet, health, possibly age, certainly hormones (which can be altered when an animal is fearful, horny, on heat, etc) but definitely not 'see you at spoons, 8pm' And maybe don't go into cabins that smell of pee whether they are lived in or not!

But what about with widows and stuff? that was pretty common too.

And a person with two hands is called ambidextrous. Doesn’t it mean having two hands, having two hands that work equally well, etc

Historically infant and childbirth deaths were very common. Only recently in human history has this changed, so there were no words developed for this incidence. It’s like how there is no words for people with two hands. It’s such a regular occurrence that it’s expected so there was never a need to develop vocabulary for it. We’re talking about A few hundred years ago.

Reply to comment by bryan3737 in Ever wonder if anyone else on the globe was ever watching the same exact show at the same timestamp by Double-Working1990

I’m talking about how they announce a series and release an entire season at once. People know which day it is and chances are high that more than one person is watching at the exact same time. TV doesn’t count. Of course everyone would watch it at the same time. They have no control of that situation.

Ugh you know what? Don’t post a shower thought and expect every single person to have cable or satellite or whatever the fuck they’re using now. I prefer streaming services and wonder if someone else is watching the same episode or movie at the exact same time as me. Don’t fucking play me for a fool.
