The otter in the OP is a river otter (probably american river otter)—I'm like 90% sure they do not have pockets. The otter in the comment is a sea otter (in case the watermark didn't give that away)—they have skin folds that's often described as pockets near-ish to the armpit.

Neither of them are marsupials—they both belong to the family Mustelidae (which also include badgers, weasels, etc).

SNES for me, and rather frequently.

Bald eagles are sometimes considered kleptoparasites, and I've always found that fitting for the USA.

20%—I feel for tip-based workers, but I'm also not running charity nor am I in a financial place in life to be tipping much higher than that.

If 20% is not in the list I will enter 20%.

To reiterate what others have said, unless you establish residency (i.e, live in California for 1+ yr) you don't qualify for in-state tuition at any public institution, which means you'll be paying roughly similar to private school tuition to be at a public institution. If that public institution is UCLA or Cal (UC Berkeley) you may as well look at USC or Stanford which will also have their fair share of alumni connections. Mind you, these are elite institutions, not just anybody gets admitted.

In general, the alumni connections thing is overstated—people who go to these universities will tout them but plenty of people who aren't from these universities are just as capable of connecting with employers.

If you're Canadian, I would just stay in Canada. I'm an American living in Canada. I'm an academic and hear very often about the cost of higher education rising in Canada. While this is true, the cost you'd end up paying to study in the states will be quite a bit higher than what you'd likely pay at any Canadian universities. Add to that the cost of living in these cities will likely be high. You can visit California for far less than the cost of tuition + cost of living.

I'm genuinely curious what that means. What does it mean to "be manly"? Is it bad to not "be manly"? Along a similar vein, what is the opposite of "being manly"? Who defined the qualities that make a person "manly" (and what authority do they have on the subject)?

When you both shit hard enough together at the same time and wonder to yourselves "was that splashback mine...?"

If Boston is the armpit of the Commonwealth, Worcester is the butthole.

When BBT came out a lot of people said I'd enjoy it, because "haha nerdy science humor haha". I watched an episode and genuinely hated it—just more unfunny, one dimensional, Chuck Lorre dog shit.

I think I've been in the presence of maybe two or three other episodes since. They were also unfunny dog shit.

BBT, Friends, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother. I don't understand what people like about these shows. To each their own, I suppose.

You forgot to mention that the movie you're watching is "The Land Before Time"
