I'm one hundred percent with you on the long date thing. I do believe first dates shouldn't be in a locked-in setting. My first date probably look exactly like yours, except that my goal is to keep things going as long as is enjoy

>It's the in-person 1st impression. That impression can't be erased with another hour of time with the person. I honestly don't think that I show any personality within the first 15 minutes of meeting someone. I am polite

These students have paid a non-trivial amount of money to attend this school, and passed up the chance to attend others. They are a market that Brown has almost complete control over. What meaningful choice could a student make to avoid bei

Yeah, that would never fly for me. Nobody is going to become more interested in me as experienced in only a 15 minute sitting, while conversely I can maintain interest in ANYBODY for 15 minutes. That's just a recipe for me getting in m

My Alexa really needs a way to whitelist commands. I bought it to be a wireless clapper and fancy alarm clock. If it thinks I'm asking it anything outside of those two domains, I am not. Of course Amazon isn't likely to ever do su

The article takes great pains to point out that Leaf-Cutter Ants are not an unknown species though, they're one of the most-studied species of ant.

Do you have any source on that? I've always been under the impression that red beard hair was known to be caused by having a single copy of the (mostly) recessive gene that causes red hair. It was always taught as the example to how re

It could also be down-voted because the idea of detecting a gene responsible for blood types visually is just silly?

In the 90's and early 2000's, I was a child running around the desert and constantly being told how to avoid encounters with Mountain Lions, so we're not that far from those days.

Ironically, about the only vehicle that actually does meet all those criteria is a standard bicycle.

I can't even try and be actively engaged with my Discord groups, there's just too much constant activity and no easy way to get caught up on what I've missed. All the Discord communities I join eventually end up on permanent

The subscription is still a thing. I briefly looked into it early into lockdown when I was completely off work for a month and a half: they wanted 15 bucks a month, and were still charging $50 for an expansion that was about to be irrelevan

Certain dog breeds were selected for intelligence, at what point does breeding a herding dog become an ethical dilemma?

I feel like I'm in the same boat. Am I making poor decisions and rationalizing the resultant pain as depression, or am I depressed and blaming myself over it?

Your meaning would have been absolutely clear in any discussion other than a nuanced discussion of vegetarian vs vegan options, really.

Yes, but it's more likely a narrative that gained traction because supporting Israel happened to also align with US interests, rather than the cause of that support.

You can definitely broaden it past engineers. I work management in food service, and I can definitely identify with the grandparent post. I've worked for financial types who barely understood how to run a business, much less specifical

by Talanes 6y ago
Your argument hinges on interpreting it exactly as YOU read it, while the grandparent argument only requires that multiple readings be possible. As multiple readings are demonstrably possible, your logic shows flaws. Historical fact is dete

Please assume good intent. I don't believe the poster jumping in to attack the (ridiculous) idea that disabled people are inherently less attractive is trying to say that being ashamed of a disabled partner is inevitable or excusable.

It can absolutely be reasoned away, pretending it's a absolute fact is dogma, not logic. Look at any of the many shady things Nestle has done with water rights and tell me that's ethical. Pretending that property rights somehow ar

The distribution of wealth in the first place is a MUCH greater deprivation of liberty than any redistribution of wealth is. I didn't ask to be born into a world where all of the resources had already been claimed, and asking me to acc

I don't know what exactly you consider "city life," but Los Angeles does not come anywhere close to San Francisco by my definition. The second-class treatment of public transit over car-driving alone is awful. I don't ha

She was trying to take down an image that was on a niche ecological website with six downloads. It is now the example image of a Wikipedia article on a commonly used term. That's a big net loss.
