I agree with you falves. I hate online ads, but I also realize that we simply can't survive without them. The economics of online ads have also changed drastically over the years: it used to be that we could make ends meet with just banner ads. But as those ads decline in revenue, we finally had to give in and allow the more intrusive video ads. Sigh. In any case, you shouldn't see any ads at all if you browse the site while logged in - so that's one solution! Thank you again for reading Neatorama!
This is gold - you should write a book (surely by offering 20 rules than Peterson's 12, and selling them at the same price, you can offer a greater value)
Every time someone asks me about vaccines and anti-vaxxers, I tell them this joke: A man was absolutely convinced that he is dead, despite that he's still walking and breathing. Exasperated, his family brought him to a scientist who explained in great lengths that there's an irrefutable evidence to determine whether someone's dead or alive. The scientist took the man to the morgue to examine a dead man's corpse. He explained that since a dead man's heart was no longer beating, the corpse should not bleed when pricked with a needle. So, the scientist did just that and demonstrated that the corpse indeed did not bleed. Then the scientist turned to the man, and told him to go ahead and prick his finger with a needle. The man did that, and started to bleed. Looking at his finger, he said, "hey, look at that! Dead men do bleed!"
Hi Sims - thank you for being a daily reader! I completely get your point. That ad unit is something that I agonized over and resisted for months, but currently, that's also the ad unit that's making ends meet. I hope that the situation will be better soon, so I can re-evaluate and re-balance the ad loads on the site. In the mean time, you can browse Neatorama ad-free while being logged in (that makes commenting easier too!). Thank you again for your feedback and for your understanding. Stay healthy & safe!
Semen, not sperm, I believe. So the man is a chimera (he has his own DNA and the donor's DNA in his body). His sperm is still his own DNA, but his semen contains the donor's DNA. His semen should therefore contain BOTH his DNA and the donor's DNA ... but to make matters a bit more complicated, he's undergone vasectomy so he no longer produces sperm. Thus his semen only contains only his donor's DNA. Yeah, complicated!
Hark! Methinks thou hath a good point though Shakespeare is probably spinning in his grave to hear us modern English speakers butcher the Queen's English.
