Wait so me and about a third of my friends have f*cking herpes?!

Nah, get outta here...

But for all the std tests I've taken and it's never said anything like that? What gives? I'm confused.

You can get a herpes titer from your doctor or an std clinic. You may not even have hsv at all

Lol sharing a drink with anyone that had it previously can give it to you. Herpes will stay above 70% infection if people never stop sharing food like we do.

Kind of. Calculus of variations is typical in structural mechanics, but Lagrange equations specifically are not that important. Double pendulum is perhaps introduced, but not studied really.

My point was mainly that engineers have PDEs and physicists have ODEs in classical mechanics.

Could simplify the post and say " we only curse around are own age gap and peers"

Wiped out? Or gained immunity to?

Over billions of years? How many viruses? Compared to the 100 or so years of vaccination?

This is why I love language. it's not owned by one person. its not controlled (even though so many try). its always changing always growing.

my favorite right now is how the word literal is changing to mean the exact opposite. So many people are losing their minds over the idea that people use the word "literal" to give emphasis to something figurative.

but it has happened before. if something was kinda cool, it had 'some awe' i.e. it was "awesome". but if it was full of awe it was "awefull" I dont know the progression of that word but somebody probably starting using it sarcastically ... "oh that is awe-full" and eventually it changed from being full of awe to being horrible.

Language is chaotic neutral.

Yeah I mean getting a foster kid is quicker if you skip the intro.

The tricky part is not inventing the word. It is getting many people to use it.

I got this reference... many people did not. LOL

Interesting. Do Engineers study Lagrange equations and the double pendulum?

Wow, that's amazing! It just goes to show how versatile language can be and how there are many nuances to understanding the same thing. Kudos for your keen observation!

Everyword is invented to some level. It's not like they are natural discoveries.

You can't get hsv2 from oral sex with someone who only has oral hsv1. You can get genital herpes from them but it will be genital hsv1, not hsv2.

I think the "intro" portion being referred to is the sex, pregnancy, and giving birth parts of having a kid. A lot of adoptions happen at a young age after the child has been with a foster family for years. A lot of times adoption is more just a recognition of the facts on the ground

Yeah, but by the time I notice, the lip balm is infected.

Or imagine doing research and finding out that there are already vaccines in development moving to human trials, and realizing you are a gigantic cunt for trying to make millions of dollars on it - while being years late to boot - instead of just releasing it for free or to only recover research costs
