Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

The thing girls say they want in a guy when they themselves usually don't have the confidence to make the first move.
Girl 1: "Hey, that guy who sits behind you in math?"
Girl 2: "What about him?"
Girl 1: "I think he's kinda cute"
Girl 2: "Ugh but he's so shy and quiet! Zero confidence. I wouldn't give him a chance."
The next day
Girl 2: "Oh look! there's that hot guy Trev! I soooo want him!"
Girl 1: "Go ask him out"
Girl 2: "Jeez that's intimidating! I'll just give him a smile and wait till he asks ME out"

Man, you can tell that guy has confidence. He does what he wants, when he wants to, and he doesn't put up with shit from nobody!
