99% of the jokes I've made throughout my life don't land. For better or worse, if I find something amusing I impulsively share it. In this case, I thought it should be obvious that OP must have faith in priests, given that they&#x

I've read that fMRI may be used as an objective diagnostic tool for autism. This was a few years back and I'm not sure how further research panned out.

I went as a biljettkontrollant (Swedish ticket inspector) for Halloween—thought it’d be funny as a Yank expat. Entering a room, I could feel the anxiety as some people instinctively grabbed their phones to buy a ticket.

There’s an old law school adage that A students become professors, B students go to work for C students. It's similar for "shark attorneys," who will typically hail from tier 2 and 3 schools. They're the aggressive hustl
