    also note the circular reasoning in the abstract: "periphrastic future tense, and its association with long-term orientation"... "sex-based grammatical gender, and its association with gender bias"

    It felt exactly like that kind of nightmare where you’re supposed to put on a play you haven’t studied any of the lines for. That said, it was pretty damn funny and I wouldn’t trade the story for the world

    It was like something out of a dream... I went to see a taping of a show. I was just sitting in the back of the studio when they turned the camera around and started to ask me questions

    Movie idea: I usually hate prequels but wouldn’t it be cool to take the characters from Meet the Fokkers and tell the story of how they met? I bet it’d be a hoot

    Zigong asked "What would you make of a person whom everyone retweets?" The Master said "I would not know what to make of him." "What about someone whom everyone trolls?" "I would still not know. Better this: those who are good retweet him and those who are not good troll him."
