i don't think it's inane. I think that's his honest experience that he can't feel what you feel. I think it's interesting. Like synesthesia. Some people can't feel what other people feel... that in itself is pr

usually, as a shooting guard, jordan would be playing with 3 people taller than him on his own team, and only 1 person shorter than him. just like basketball is not purely about body size and athleticism, chess is not purely about iq. And i

if you're at harvard, that's probably why you've only seen a "small amount" of mean professors. try a college where most professors have achieved nothing and are having a midlife crisis.

that metric, no matter how true, is definitely flawed. doubling central park wouldn't fix the nastiness that is nyc.

are you assuming that a tiny state school will have worse quality teachers than a top private school? or even that someone who is not a professional teacher is worse than a teacher at a "top" school? The tiny state school might ha

that averages out awkwardly to what? 6 drinks? 10 seems like another level no matter how you distribute it.

the flip side is: why would you destroy this relationship if you're the mba student. You have to realize there is a benefit to keeping the original engineer on board. There's probably a benefit to having a partner that can prototy

what about the "night vision" painting. if it's pitch black and someone has the ability to see a vase, and then remembers the vase and paints the vase green in another room brightly lit... well, they wouldn't paint a pit

online dating is hard for everyone. you just will never know if it will work or not. All you really have are your stereotypes.

but why on earth would you tell them that? You might as well tell them they're not attractive, and black women are not attractive, and they should get together for that reason.

then if you're not a racist in dating, you're still probably a racist in something else in terms of the degree they're thinking.

by jrs99 12y ago
No, it's not racist. But it doesn't matter. What does it matter to a 4'11" black woman that on average, black women are taller than women of other races? What does it matter to you? Unless you love a woman with a large a

why not? I'm 7'4" and it would be foolish for me to believe that I can become a great soccer player. I'm not trying to be "correct" whatever that means. I'm just saying your size matters. Your coordination

There's a real height, and there's a "listed" height. A lot of people say that the "listed" height is often very wrong. Sometimes by several inches and more for certain organizations that aren't really par

There's a contradiction. It's that people that want a carpenter with brown experience will NOT usually hire the car salesman with brown experience. Is this supposed to be about education? Hiring a non-CS major? The people that are

NOBODY should be saying "lighten up." I don't think you understand the context in which "lighten up" is being used here. "lighten up" here is when you say that after a serious offense has been made. And it

in my opinion, gmail became big when it was a kind of status symbol to have a gmail address. I doubt that ever reached asia. but at one point, there were people with gmail addresses, and people with yahoo and hotmail addresses. and if you h
