Truth before social success? Why would you want social stuff, or anything, that you hadn't judged was a good thing to want?

that's sure taking the easy way out. "we can't give reasons because you have a sort of mild mental illness that prevents you from listening to any." you could ask them to give you reasons in text that you'll show a third party for evaluatio

well, what do they say the benefits would be? ask them to give solid reasons, and explain it until you are convinced! and they ought to have a plan for how you can do it before being sure it's a good thing for you to do. also they should be

"it's a feature not a bug" what do you imagine would be the great benefits of having more casual social interactions?

there are a lot of replies kind of like this. but wouldn't it be better to learn to accurately judge people, and not socialize with people who aren't worthwhile?

how about lower the age to 10, so people get used to drinking long before they can drive?
427.
by xlnt 19y ago
don't. people are generally least interesting in casual, social situations. for example, most of the people in this thread have said reasonably interesting, intelligent ideas. but at a bar they'd say worse things.

I was replying to the title. And anyway, if people were being racist you wouldn't say "look, a double standard" you'd say "look, racists". Somehow this kind of prejudice is more legitimate.

No. Why is it that racism is super untrendy, but this kind of nationalistic prejudice against foreigners is trendy? Why are Americans more deserving of a given job, just because they are American, and even if they will do an equally good jo

youtube doesn't do much besides make a few things easy: make a file web accessible and convert to another format and provide comments and some text people can paste to embed it, and i guess favorites and a bit more -- all the kinds of thing

yes. but that's not necessarily a bad thing to say about scribd. if scribd makes it easier for people to not know anything about how to use computers, then that's valuable to lots of people.

i never liked acrobat reader on windows much. maybe that's it? or people just don't know where to host their pdfs. or don't know how to make pdfs.

I asked Google for permission to use their logo, but they said no.

do you understand that you haven't commented on whether his position is true? you just passive-aggressively called him passive aggressive.

I deny that the theory of genetic male/female differences in what interests one has (or tends to have) is plausible. I think it is like astrology. One takes something, and says it causes something else, for no reason. One needs an explanati

If the reason that there are less women in technical subjects is that their minds have been crippled by their upbringing (at a higher rate, for these particular subjects), then that is an important problem.

Banning stuff isn't a solution to the problem of disagreement about what links should be posted here, or a solution for people who have conflicting ideas in their personality about what links they want to click on.

i know what it means. why do you think that's a good trait?

"hate" is a bad thing.

by xlnt 19y ago
how is "anyone will tell you it's awesome" different than "popular"? if they know something that makes it fundamentally important you could relate what that thing is, rather than just implying there is one.

by xlnt 19y ago
What part of his post, specifically, do you disagree with? (If what he said is true then it's pretty ridiculous to call it hate.)

pokemon is popular too. that doesn't make it important in the sense matt means.
