I wonder how the QAnon crazies are taking this news.

Everyone they disagree with always gets labeled “pedo.”

What happens when one of their idols gets caught?

Get thrown under the bus

I don't what's up with these gender reveals. People blowing their heads off with cannons. The whole thing seems fraught with stupidity.

Quote:
Two people died in Cancun, Mexico, after a plane used for a gender reveal stunt crashed.
The plane was meant to fly past and display a banner revealing that the couple was having a girl.
Screams were heard as the plane spiralled out of control and plunged into the sea.


I'm sure that made it memorable.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Watched a video about gender reveal parties that made this look like a big nothing.

what's up with all this? Sex used to be revealed only at birth and guys just passed out the correct cigar.

The Los Angeles County sheriff says detectives have determined what caused Tiger Woods to crash his SUV last month in Southern California but would not release details Wednesday, citing unspecified privacy concerns ... [recently] did obtain a search warrant for the data recorder ..., known as a black box. Villanueva would not say Wednesday what data had been found ...

“A cause has been determined, the investigation has concluded,”

I don't get it either. I remember some sitcom from the 60s they had a crib ready with blue and pink bows. Guy character asked what gives and the woman character said they did not know it it was a boy or girl so they would just get rid of the wrong color when they found out.

Makes sense.

If you know ahead of time, then you only need to purchase half as many bows.

My ex-wife and I found out ahead of time, but did not have a party of any sort.

Not going to look it up, but I would say my hearing that it was possible to know before birth was around mid-90s, perhaps earlier. Common non-invasive such ability depends on ultrasound scanning

This was a 1960s sitcom. I always liked the couples who said they wanted to wait to find out.
