I've got an ex who used this line to try and tell me why I shouldn't get mad when he hurt me.
The quote is technically true, but it can easily be misinterpreted or applied incorrectly.

Reply to comment by IBeTrippin in TIL More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans and as a result, we know more about the surface of Mars than Earth by [deleted]
Are you talking about the surface or the floor?

Exactly what you'd expect it to be when more than half the population is wearing masks and social distancing.

What a long way of saying "I don't think 6.6 million covid deaths are that big of a deal."

I just finished the book yesterday. As far as classics go, I think Dracula holds up better than most.
The book provides a really good window into the world of 1897. Blood transfusions had been around long enough to be widely known, but were still considered dangerous. Blood types hadn't been discovered yet. Telephones had only existed for 20 years, and weren't widely available. So this was the peak era of the telegraph. Society and culture placed high value on excellence. The concept of dressing down (clothing, language, standards) was absurd. It was unthinkable to involve women in dangerous affairs.
