Random Rants 92 - Not Enough Snerk

[r16]

today's conversation seemed to be that ı lack character because some American idiot told people that ı was brave enough . Romney as in some sort of cultist ? He might be useful to beat Trump or whatever , despite anyone but Democrats because Trump was an idiot and could have never provide solid enough assurances to ambush the Russians and yeah , looking for trouble with that one .

am ignored in 174 countries of the world , because the rest haven't heard of me yet .


also , ı will not give permission to enable push notification , whatever they might be and already clicked no or whatever . Why it is still on the page ?

Knowing there's new posts on the next page is seemingly impossible with this new site. Or at least, I haven't been able to notice it.

Despite the downgrade in both style and functionality, can't you still tell by the mere existence of a later page?
Though I don't recall if previously one could also find out the number of new posts in the (unseen) last page. Probably they could but can't now from being in the thread itself.

Your mother's aunt's son is her first cousin. So you and his sons are second cousins.

what about his father's sibling's children to my mother and their children to me?

 

[Takhisis]

Whose father's sibling's children?

 

[Lohrenswald]

my mother's aunt's son

 

[Hygro]

my mother's aunt's son

Her first cousin, so your first cousin once removed.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Romney as in the Mit(t) Romney.

Cousin relationships are described the same way both directions. Being of a different generation is “removed” older and younger.

in other news I can't sleep and I don't want to do anything

Watch a movie about sleep. Maybe the first Nightmare on Elm Street, it stars Freddy - "I am your boyfriend now, Amber" - Depp.

Don't have access to it on the streaming services I'm leeching

not up to ransacking through dvd's and trying to run it on the television

It’s not perfect but it beats Dutch where your cousin and your niece are the same word.

Maybe you can find The Mist.
Obviously the movie, not the pitiful tv series.

Her first cousin, so your first cousin once removed.

The removed is how many generations you are removed, and the first/second/third part is how far back your common ancestor is.

Sharing grandparents means you're first cousins, great-grandparents means you're second cousins, great-great-grandparents means you're third cousins, and so on.

The spy is dead. Likely of hunger. It died while being transferred to the local zoo for care but it'll end in a museum instead. A well-liked visitor nevertheless.

edit. Apparently the walrus in question had a name - Stena. I missed the naming party, sorry.

Heard that from a friend yesterday .
Not enough fish on the Finnish shores?

 

[Grendeldef]

I think it wasn't the amount but type & size - the spy came prepared with a rod while a net would've been more appropriate.

Apparently it had not been eating sufficiently for ages and was in general in very bad shape.

my mother's aunt's son

OK, so you have two rather confusing English ways of describing the exact two same persons.

Your mother has an aunt, who has a son. So your mother and that man are first cousins, without any of the ‘removed’ crap.

Then you and your mother's first cousin are each other's first cousin once removed. But also he's your second uncle and you're his second nephew.

Your mother's first cousin's sons and you are second cousins, again not removed. Those second cousins of yours are your mother's second nephews (substitute ‘nieces’ whenever necessary’) and also her first cousins once removed.
Your children and your second cousins' children will be each other's third cousins.
You and your second cousins' children will be second cousins once removed, OR you'll be their third uncle and they'll be your third nephews/nieces. It'll be the same way between those second cousins of yours and any children you might have.

Also your mother's aunt is your great-aunt.

I hope your brain still works after reading this.
