Everybody loves composite numbers, but I’m missing the point in which this is advantage in the context of time. The only situation I know of where time needs to be divided is in paid work, and in this case it’s always converted to base 10 money.

- Comment on How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ? 1 week ago:
Now that is something I’ve never thought about before and also wish I hadn’t read.
Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn’t survive well outside the intestines, so there’s a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.
However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You’d probably want to treat it though because you’d experience severe fever and other clear signs.
I’ll achieve this knowledge in the “don’t worry about it” folder.

Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.
It’s more like a framework.
Perhaps it’s also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don’t think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

Yes. You could pay some geek to type it in during recess.

It doesn’t have to be meaningless. It’s perfectly meaningful to have innocent fun with somebody else.

It’s more of a journalist thing. They take the words out of your mouth to reach their own conclusion fast and deliver an answer that’ll fit inside the allocated screen time.
“When you heard that people use things instead of measurements to explain the size of other things, exactly how shocking was it to you?”

- Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked? 4 weeks ago:
I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).
Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.
I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.

They just make a bank transfer. The real issue is the taxation.
Every country has a threshold for how much someone can receive without paying taxes.

- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 5 weeks ago:
Canada should join the Nordic countries in a new Kalmar Union. Everything you mentioned is in common, unlike USA and EU, which both span different climates, and thus different ways of life.
Don’t get me wrong, I like both EU and the former USA, but I think there’s just more mutual ground in latitude than longitudes.

- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 1 month ago:
I think it’s impossible to assume anything at all. With cultural, age and gender differences, it’s difficult to figure out what the intentions of another person are, unless they state them clearly. Neither you or he did that.
As a guy, I can assure you that guys do not understand subtle hints or can even logically deduce where this casual acquaintance is going from what you have already described.
You’ll need to be very clear. Maybe then he will also tell or show you his own intentions more clearly.
But first you need to know yourself what you actually want to hang out with this guy for and if it’s worthwhile maintaining the friendship for whatever reason. It makes sense if you have mutual interests or benefits from keeping in touch. However, my best guess based on your description of him offering a back massage is that he might have more romantic intentions than you. In that case it’s best for both of you to be brutally clear and end his hopes instead of “friend-zoning” him. It might feel unpleasant, but it’s crucial to be clear. If he reacts negatively, well, there’s your answer.

Yes, it was covered by health care. It’s not common that early in life, but I think it makes sense to get it sorted out as soon as possible before it makes the issue worse. I have never thought much about it, but in hindsight I think it must have been hell for her to go through.
- Comment on Anon did philosophy 1 month ago:
You can’t really tell from looks alone. I went to school with a girl who got a breast reduction at age 16 due to back problems. It didn’t look crazy or anything or maybe she hid it well, but it was just some issue she had that no one knew about or would have guessed.

It’s either a weird coincidence or in perhaps that the fitness chains areusing the same plumber and that guy is doing a shit job.
- Comment on It would get old fast 1 month ago:
They have plenty of character.
Friend 1 is a banjo player. You can tell by the large porch facing the entrance of the cul de sac from where he watches everyone who comes and goes.
Friend 2 owns a large pick up truck. This is because his house has the best view of the agricultural fields to the left, so he identifies as a farmer, even if he works in a call center.
Friend 3 doesn’t have a driveway. He actually thought that he would be able to ride with his friends every day.
Friend 4 lives closest to the forrest so he wears outdoor clothing all the time and pretends to be the alpha male.
Friend 5 is the beta cuck who actually fell for Friends 4’s self proclaimed alpha status.
Friend 6 doesn’t exist. Nobody wants that to buy that house. The parked car belongs to the rela estate agent who pays regular visits to the house with potential buyers.
Friend 7 is a conspiracy theorist who keeps mostly to himself and sometimes disappear for days. The upper floor is larger than the ground floor and is filled with horded things that he calls his prepping storage. There might even be other people up there.
