I agree that attraction is certainly correlated strongly with sexuality. However, attraction can have a wide range of meanings, from merely finding attractive to wanting to have sex with. Without context that quote doesn’t say much of anything about the speaker. Possibly, as a minister and devout believer, he was just making a comment about how he viewed humanity.
We’re told that the context of the quote is sexuality.
I find that there are two very different meanings to “attractive” that you are using here, and that difference actually comes from different parts of the brain.
I can look at some women and think they’re attractive, but it’s the same as me finding a piece of art attractive. I don’t say I’m attracted to them.
When I say I am attracted to someone, that is definitely coming from the part of the brain that involves sexuality.
What is WFC here? Neither googling or ‘search the web’ came up with anything except Wells Fargo Co.
I was going to ask but I was in the middle of eating an ear of corn.
Dang, now that’s a dilemma I wish I had!
“Who freaking cares”, maybe?
Thank you.
That site lists 188 (!) possibles for WFC. How were we supposed to know, even from context?
We’re gettin’ old. I bet all the younguns here knew it.
Out of 188 possibles? 189 including Wells Fargo Co.
I love the scene in Modern Family where the dad brags about how he’s up on all the latest teen lingo, like WTF - “why the face?” as his family tries not to smirk too obviously .
I knew what WFC meant. Me, the world’s oldest teenager now that Dick Clark is dead.
Random fact: Dick Clark used to be the World’s Oldest Teenager or WOT.
Sorry, I tell people I am 29, but in my head I am still 12 (and Nixon is still President).
Mr. Rogers (the character) to me just always seemed a little creepy. JMO, for another TLA.
Anyway. . .
Jack Kirby was involved with the “Thundarr the Barbarian” cartoon, which might explain why Gemini has a passing resemblance to Darkseid. Not sure if he cribbed one of his own 4th World creations for Thundarr, but Ariel could be a downsized Barda, and Ookla. . . maybe a repurposed Big Bear.
OK. This one isn’t that interesting but: in the Netherlands people commonly answer the phone by saying “Met (name)”. ‘Met’ means ‘with’. Do other countries have phone salutations that start with ‘with’?
I’m reading a rather obscure book about accidents and mysteries in the Great Smokies. One story involves a Tennessee physician who enjoyed recreational flying. One day in 1955 he took his Piper up for a spin, developed engine trouble and was forced to crash-land in a forested area. Miraculously he came to rest in the top of a tree causing only minor injury to the pilot and scant damage to the plane. He had to spend the night in the woods and survive an encounter with a bear, but made it back to civilization.
The pilot’s name was Samuel Sullenberger. Earlier, he was visiting family and met a 3-year-old cousin, Chesley Sullenberger, who would later go on to have a more publicized unscheduled landing with fortunate outcome.
The really crazy thing is, there is no “Mr. Rogers (the character)”. What you see on screen is the authentic, actual Fred Rogers. He’s really like that.
Although by every single account Fred Rogers was a profoundly kind and gentle human being, I too was squicked out by his show. I was probably too old for it when I saw it though.
Napoleon’s army in the late 18th century called Egypt “the land of menstruating men” because so many people were infected with schistosomiasis which causes bloody urine.
Also, schistosomes have two bodies – a female which is like a roundworm and a male which is curled-up fluke – that are combined permanently (a condition called in copula) to make up individual adult worms.
I beg your pardon, I’m over 70, and I got it! So there!
Okay, I confess: I’d read this thread a few minutes earlier: How to succinctly respond to a JFK assassination conspiracy proponent. Some variations of “WFC” are mentioned.
