Oh lord, that statement hits me right in the “feel old” button.

The difference is that she's still hot, while you were ancient when you were young.
Technically I'm almost as old as you were when this forum started, but back then you were old and I am now still young I tell you.
TIL that Chrome still remembers my login.
Uhm.

Scientists identify first known prehistoric person with Turner syndrome
Studying skeletons could provide further insight into the past’s gender variability.

And then this quote:
This implies that, at least as early as three thousand or so years ago, people who were literally, chromosomally, intersex or of "unconvential genders"...were treated as completely ordinary people.
My, how far we've come.

I first learned about Turner Syndrome when we had our second miscarriage.... interesting that they were able to find an ancient burial with the markers for it.Scientists identify first known prehistoric person with Turner syndrome

This is apparently the result of new techniques. Now that scientists are actually collecting & creating databases of genetic data, and entering & updating that data, we are starting to see things we couldn't see when it was just pictures and measurements.
I think it's enlightening. We will see whether this hard scientific evidence gets slammed/attacked because it unfortunately doesn't mesh with some people's beliefs, though.

Hey, man! Great to see you! I mean, I do in other places already but still.
Today I learned that one of the biggest repositories of dirty mangas on the Internet has, without explanation, removed a massive number of the mangas posted on the site. Currently it appears around 12,000 galleries have been removed in this latest purge. One of the victims of the purge is the famous (or infamous) Metamorphosis, which I talked about a bit upthread. No official explanation has been given, but given that the removed mangas generally all were from the same authors or artists, it's speculated that the official publishers for those artists took legal action to have this site remove those works.
I am so pissed that so much pop music nowadays rips off New Wave and Funk. WRITE YOUR OWN SHIT!!!111!!!!

I've been staying all week in Portland!
No, not that one.
No, not THAT one.
Portland, Texas.
If you don't know where that is, don't worry, I'm pretty sure the only people who know where that is is people who live in Corpus Christi, TX, and are mad that Portland exists.
I knew where it was before this, just like I knew/know where Paris, Moscow, Italy, and Cut and Shoot Texas are all at. I don’t know why I knew where Portland is, I’ve never found it necessary to ever go to Corpus, but for some reason I knew.
There's a Toronto, Prince Edward Island. Whenever I traveled from Summerside to Charlottetown, I'd pass through Toronto.
Every time, I made the joke that I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

We have a Niagara Falls here on the Island and it's VERY different but I still make the same joke when I pass it.

When I was still traveling to do comedy and game shows one of my partners would make that joke about similarly named places. Every. Time.
Every. Fucking. Time. You never quite realize how many similarly named places there are until you’re riding thousands of miles in a tan minivan with a guy who points them all out.

South Carolina has a town named North that's in the southern part of the state.
NJ? So you’re also saying that it hasn’t been repaired since 1870.

We have a few of those here. I was driving a friend home from surgery last week and hit like 1,000 gaping potholes. It wasn’t possible to drive without jostling her
TYL the first concrete road in the Americas was built about 5 miles from where I grew up.
