My apologies to the USA but….why do the Police refer to dogs as canines?

Same reason they call women "females"??

People who cannot read and then cannot hold conversations with people on the internet.

Reading comprehension is down so low it's baffling how anyone understands anything anymore.

I don't know how it is in the UK, but public schools are much more concerned with pushing their political or social agendas nowadays than actually EDUCATING the students. Critical Thinking especially is completely ignored, as is Basic English, Math, Philosophy and Science.

Obsession, perhaps?

Could be Pat. Every writer is entitled to plug their book but there’s no need for so many threads especially when the same stuff is just being repeated and he refuses to be questioned. It hardly shows a courage in his alleged ‘convictions.’

In total one person has started 25 threads on one ‘suspect.’

And a note….

At 7.00am Richard began a thread called ‘A FBI expert’s profile matches Thomson.’

One minute later…

At 7.01 Richard starts a thread called ‘A FBI experts profile matches Thompson.’

Both posts are exactly the same in content.


Isn't there a word for this?

I've heard the term "Attention Whores" used.

Some People will do ANYTHING for Attention (and from Strangers, yet)...

This is a digression btw.

The above topic is for other threads.

The proliferation of new threads devoted to one particular JtR (highly unlikely) suspect.

The spamming of that suspect into multiple unrelated old threads.

Got a statement from my health insurance for a yearly physical I had a few months ago. Had routine blood work done. There was a charge (which fortunately I did not have to pay) for "insertion of needle into vein for collection of blood sample." If only they had said sir, there will be a small charge for the needle unless you would prefer to take out your pocket knife and do it yourself.

No wonder health care costs are do damn high.

c.d.

The cost of everyday food is insane. My fiancé and I work 4 days a week each, he does 8 hour shifts+, so together we work full time. We kept wondering what the hell was happening to our finances and as it turns out it's literally just food shopping. We don't eat out, we rarely eat take-aways, we never go to pubs, we don't buy expensive food. It's abominable. Both working and still having to ask parents for money

Those labels at the back of the collars of T shirts - the ones that sometimes turn to rough plastic after a wash or two and scratch the neck. Although most seem to be made differently and better these days, thank goodness!

Anything by Ken Burns is good imo c.d. I think his series on The Civil War is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.
...

I would add Baseball*, Jefferson and Lewis & Clark.

*I actually ordered the box set from Amazon because I couldn't fin it on YouTube any more.
