Can't say I agree with all the statements -- I enjoyed La Cage infinitely more than the Birdcage.

Cue the Proclaimers -- "I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk . . . 307 more."

I'm "guilty" of the McDonalds thing because 1) I very rarely have been there and I don't know the menu by heart and there may be something new/interesting and 2) I think it's far more polite to stand back until I know what I want so I can order quickly and efficiently than be like those who dither at the counter while ordering. As to the thermostat thing -- I don't think people think bumping the thermostat higher will make it get warm faster; I believe it's an attempt to make the room eventually heat to a temperature higher than normal for at least a little while so people can "thaw out" before turning it back down to a cooler temp.

WTF did I just see?

Of course it's true -- as we all know, the US is a nation of immigrants -- and almost no one emigrates from their own country if they are flourishing there (unless they are in danger and so emigrate to save their lives.) Trump is full of **** about this and everything else he spews.

That cat at the 1 minute mark is definitely swearing at her in "cat."

Anyone can "pray on the go" if they're so inclined -- traditional rosaries are far more lightweight and portable than this silly gadget. Of course, I'm not a believer in anything supernatural (although I was brought up Catholic) so even the beads are silly to me. But the fact that this is being pushed by the Vatican is particularly obnoxious -- "Here -- buy this unnecessary and overpriced thing so you can make one of the richest entities in the world richer . . . because we need more millions to pay off the victims of child rape by our priests, who we won't turn over to police for justice.

I don't always say please or thank you to my Alexa but I do always use a polite tone of voice -- but I think the Addams family modeled good behavior for these circumstances decades ago, by always kindly saying, "Thank you, Thing." If they could do that for a disembodied hand, I can do it for the glowing blue line that does so much for me!

Improving women's rights and educating men on 21st century attitudes and norms in Asian countries would go a long way toward improving birth rates. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2015/10/03/lifestyle/women-japan-unite-examining-contemporary-state-feminism/#.XaC9PEZKhPY Being treated like an equal at both work and in the home, and having men shouldering half the house and child care would encourage more women to have more children.

Oh, great. Another crazy conspiracy theory for Rudy Guiliani to believe.

It's obviously pregnant.

Nonsense. Where in the world did you get the idea that Trump doesn't need sleep? Trump needs it -- he just functions on an endless stream of Diet Coke, and, if the reports are to be believed (and I think they should be) crushed Adderal, which he snorts, especially before speeches. Plus, he doesn't even get to work before 11 am (after watching Fox and Friends), and no doubt, naps during his endless afternoon "Executive time" which seems to mainly comprise lying in bed watching Fox "News".
