Reply to comment by ElectricityIsWeird in TIL that Taylor Lautner's wife is also named Taylor Lautner by a_hall
A friend of mind just named her youngest son Henry. In my whole life, I've never met a Henry (that I know of). My friend said that not only did she just become aware of several kids named 'Henry' in her area that are the same age as her son, two of them have the same middle name.

Funny story. My daughter was born in 2005. We had no strong favorites, but we ended up liking Ava a lot. You know, not original, but a nice name that was pretty rare in 2005.
Fast forward a couple years and I’m reading the paper. An article listing the top baby names from the last couple years, I think it was only MN, but what was #1 for girls in 2005? Ava.

I used to date a girl whose name was pronounced “me”. I did not call her that during sex.
Before her, I dated a girl whose name was pronounced “I”. I would not call her that during sex, but only once at a time. More than that, I would sound Mexican.
Not kidding.

I know, but my point still stands, you are fine if you use both eyes.

Its not one eye, it's one hemisphere (i.e left or right field of vision) of both eyes and they're flipped.

It can give rise to the interestingly named 'alien hand syndrome' where one hand takes on a personality and life of its own.

It’s only been the past decade that my mother, (89-y-o,) has identified—there was tons of shame. All the generation immediately prior to hers were sent to boarding schools to get the Cherokee sanded off. Passing became pretty important.

I don’t agree with the central argument in the book at all, but I still think it’s worth a read

Breed out the Indian. Got it. Good job taking the moral higher-end of being a 1800s imperialist
Calling natives all shitty people. You are such a scummy person

As a native Hawaiian, would you say the majority of Hawaiians are for federal recognition? I know that there are natives who are against it and are for succession but I’m just not sure that’s realistic
Thanks
