You would fall into the "of the world" camp. There are others, a relative minority but prevalent everywhere, that don't want to be a part of this, nor want their children involved. You will likely never interact with them, an

What a vulgar rendition: "little nothing no-name universities." There's more to a college than how much money it's going to make you throughout your entire life. In the case of St Lawrence and Adrian: this is where you s

None of that is culture -- unless you apply it in a shallow way. The South is a cultural wasteland. The only thing it has going for it are its manners.

"America" is in the unique position of having no culture -- barring "make money" -- to assimilate to. This obviously leads to much greater ease of assimilation for immigrants; you don't even need to speak English. I

On such polarizing topics, there is no neutral. Both sides will detest you for not being on their's. Logic won't win you any friends; and it certainly won't change anyone's feelings. As trite as my post is: I don't

Full disclosure: I don't work with C++ anymore. You don't have to keep up with all the stuff it adds. If you actually need a certain thing C++ has added -- that you're unaware of -- you'll naturally find it when you go l

Tolerance is tiresome. Putting up with nonsense, and being impelled to consume metaphorical shit, is vulgar to the soul. In art, the nonsense is the lack of honesty. Inauthenticity brought forth and exhibited for all of us to see. People wi

How would that stoke the egos of all godless psycopaths?

A spiritual one -- its causes numerous. Though it would be invigorating to have a word for the whole thing. Maybe the Germans have something for us?

A provocative and astute diatribe. My question for you: why humor this absurdity? I'm of mind that the whole thing should be thrown out.

How low tutelage has fallen. Once the noblest of duties; now...

You've put to words an intuition I've always had, but been unable to verbalize: it irritates me when someone converses with the intent to reach some end... or just enters a conversation with some notion or emotion that they'r

I dislike the spirit of "/r/AmITheAsshole." I don't think I can put it into apt words, but it may go something like: "does this really matter?" and "must this really be exhibited for all to see?"

I think you're getting a lot of "Yes, but"s that go on to completely disagree with the spirit of your post -- something I see annoyingly often... as if people are constantly piggybacking off what others are saying to say thei

You would also burn a hole in your stomach if you took a 2-3g potassium pill(s). For what it's worth: I've used "losalt" drinks for potassium-replenishment (especially during carbless diets), and it works well. Hard to o

Please speak for yourself. A comfortable cage does not inspire me to go above and beyond. I very much doubt my "going the extra mile" will really affect anyone at all in any major way. It may make some made up numbers go up -- or

I can +1 this. I can't add anything more besides: having more than a few sips with food is already too extreme for upper crust sensibilities. Everything in moderation makes everything well tolerated.

I think it may be that some people have low environmental-sensation barriers. For them, hearing "bus factor" may make it through the barrier and result in an involuntary creation of imagery in their head of someone getting gruesom

Having worked both "grueling" manual labor jobs and "stressful" white collar work: I would rather be an ape living in some rain-forest. I don't want to have complex thought. I don't want to have to perform feat

It's absolutely lovely. The wealthier pockets remind of a less mountainy Switzerland.

Interested in any resources that you've found vital in your journey. I'm angling to go deeper into the "Cleaner" path, and it's a very slow "figure it out as you go" experience.

Yes. Realistically, I could put in the extra effort to be mindful of how I handle the things I own -- but I simply don't care enough. If you lend me a paperback book, it's likely going to be dog-eared and written inside with pen;

I don't see why it needs justification. I want a book; I don't want to pay for it; so I pirate it. And then I go about my day without ever thinking about it again.

Fingerprints are unique in the technical sense (i.e. no one has the exact same set of fingerprints) -- but matching is a completely different issue. I don't know how far forensic science has come since a decade ago when I learned som

The right picture offers a minor visual cue where you can see the post-it note mildly resisting peeling at the top edge. If we look at the left picture, that cue is there, with an illusion of resistance on the left edge.

I think it was Mencken that most popularly called this sort of thing sophomoric, and chastised "schoolma'ams" trying to impart conscious thought and logic into the unthinking that don't much care for what it is they&#x27

Would you be able to write more about dopamine agonists "screw[ing] some things up about you semi-permanently?" I was on them for RLS for a while. I had even started taking L-DOPA, when pramipexole/ropinirole/gabapentin&

Having read about 1 to 2/3rds through most of Dostoyevsky's books: I really believe they're over-hyped. Same with Pushkin, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, and so on -- with the only exception of Solzhenitsyn. I think the difference is I&#
