My 16 year old is wanting to know why I’m laughing so hard. I’ll never tell.

And the song lasts less than 3 minutes. Maybe that is why she hated it.

From the comments:

I’m laughing hysterically at him saying he finishes to this song and I’m imagining him doing it at the very end and just powering down like a robot.

I am losing it laughing.

I love/loathe the thought of this guy matching the start/stop rhythm of that song.

A little back story; when I first started having sex I researched into ways to be better as I was a little stiff

Interesting series of articles on the history of Haiti in the NYT. I had no idea about the decades long occupation by the US:

Ugh... What a horrible story. Shame on both the US and France. Especially France.

I can't believe this isn't more well-known. Excellent reporting.

Holy crap! That's terrible. Reparations anyone?

Indeed. To be sure, Haiti hasn’t been the model of good post colonial governance. But they had 2 strikes against them to begin with.

This article only strengthens the stereotypes I have of New Jersey. Mayor caught on tape uttering racial slurs will likely resign. Good thing! Police chief extorted mayor and town to the tune of over half a million dollars to keep the tapes secret. Bad thing!

there’s some really interesting data in there. Interesting that minority groups tend to overstimate even their own percentages to a similar degree.

I think the only thing it proves is that in general, people are stupid.

This was a really interesting article:

From millionaires to Muslims, small subgroups of the population seem much larger to many Americans
