Nature abhors a vaccuum

From Wikipedia:

According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus' lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus' shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus' tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

  1. He's gay and closeted, looking for a friend, and it's easier to talk to a girl than directly to you.

  2. He has feelings for your girlfriend. This is not an issue, as long as you trust your girlfriend. Feel flattered that your girlfriend is so awesome.

College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.

Homo = person/man

Sapiens = wise

What's this bullshit about?

Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.

Surprised no one mentioned this, but carry-on bags are no longer free for all - only free for the first ones in line.

Imagine a sealed container filled with any amount of liquid water at any constant temperature and pressure where water can be liquid. Is the air in the container necessarily at 100% relative humidity?

Sounds like you need to go to a vet.

How do you know anxiety caused the hives? Couldn't the hives have caused the anxiety? Or couldn't they be separate?

Take it to a vet, if you haven't already.
