Y'all, I'm very very vegetarian, but knocking this dude for recommending fishing is silly. "Fishing or another outside activity that seems relaxing to you" is implicit. People have different morals regarding animals and consumption. I get where you're coming from, but "birdwatching is also a great activity!" is a better and more positive response imo.

Can we please not start arguing in favor of eugenics?

Do you like the time change, or do you want to stick to standard time?

IMO it's tragic to eat such an intelligent creature. Maybe stick to these guys...? Mmmm.

Words in English that end in "-us" and pluralize to "-i" are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, "octopus" is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be "octopodes." In English, we have also adopted "octopuses," which fits our standard pluralization rules.

So, "octopi" is actually a language mix up, though one that's so common that it seems to be accepted in English.

Raisins be raisin people's blood sugar too, though. Just look at one.

We went for a nighttime walk in the woods and read "Tell-Tale Heart."

If we're already taking about genitals, maybe I can ask if you know anything about the nerve endings in nipples? Two specific questions: first, touching them feels great to some people and awful to others. Why? Second, for someone to whom it feels good, the sensation is still really weird: it's almost like there's a ton of nerve endings but they're not site specific. It's not at all like poking yourself in the leg.

Hi all,

I'm attempting to change careers into landscape design/architecture, but I'm struggling to gain professional experience.

I've applied to 4 different job in the field, interviewed at one, but haven't had enough "professional experience" to land any of the jobs. Any tips on how to proceed? I was thinking about keeping my current job while also trying freelance for very nominal pay, but I'm not really sure how to go about that either.

For background, I've been at my current (unrelated) job for 6 years, took a community college class on AutoCAD, did a planting plan for a friend, and put together a portfolio (work in CAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, and physical media). I have some experience with plant nurseries, and a degree in biology. An in-person college architecture program is not option due to distance and expense, and I can't find any online programs. My portfolio gets compliments, but I seem to need more drafting experience.

Thank goodness. I loved "Your Name" and hope for more films.
