- Comment on How does a teenager learn to "eat out" a women without doing it like a dog at a water bowl? 2 days ago:
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
You never heard of “Rhythm & Glues”?
- Comment on What are your thoughts on people who say hate speech is free speech? 4 days ago:
People who say that are correct, but their motive for saying it is always suspect.
- Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted? 5 days ago:
Use the spoiler tags, that’s what they’re for.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Hopelessly true for the general population, but I’ve overcome it through self-examination and reflection because I’m special.
- Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted? 5 days ago:
Being downvoted yourself is not reason to start downvoting.
Now when people post links to videos without a text synopsis, that’s a reason to downvote.
- Comment on What's the weirdest thing in english? 6 days ago:
It’s not that it’s hard to write a rule for “respectively”. It’s that it needs its own rule, specifically. The general rules don’t cover it.
- Comment on What's the weirdest thing in english? 6 days ago:
Per formal linguistics, it’s “respectively”.
Like: Bob, Alicia, and Siobhan are a teacher, plumber, and electrician, respectively.
We know this means Bob is a teacher and Siobhan is an electrician, but trying to write rules for how English works that account for this usage is thorny.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yes, but sometimes they’re other colors.
- Comment on What happened to society that we became afraid of a piece of paper? Like a write up at school or job, or a ticket, or a bill we know we can pay (but won't let us live 1 luxury) lincenses and others? 1 week ago:
We moved to an information economy. It’s not just paper, it’s information.
- Comment on Have you eat a purple potato? 1 week ago:
Yes, many times. Good for roasting especially.
- Comment on no time rule 1 week ago:
this but unironically

Nah, there’s some amazing sitcoms right now:
-
Workin’ Moms
-
Shrinking
-
Platonic
Remember Sturgeon’s Law.

- Comment on Do black people actually want to be called Black with capital B? 2 weeks ago:
some do, some don’t
- Comment on What do you do if you lose an argument, but it turns out that you were actually right? 2 weeks ago:
You can’t win an argument by being wrong. If you “lost” an argument it behooves you to at least consider the other person’s points. Two people can broth be right and still disagree.
Me, I’ve never “lost” an argument. I’ve either made myself understood or I haven’t, and at some point that’s on the other person. And I’ve either come to understand the other person’s point or I haven’t, which again at some point is on them. But being the one to change your mind isn’t losing, it’s learning.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 3 weeks ago:
No we don’t. Grey is the only way.
- Comment on Why does a woman get a pass when she wears low rise jeans or whatever but a high strung thong, if men did the equivalent they'd get shit for it? Why the double standard? 3 weeks ago:
I see men with their pants halfway down their ass and their underwear showing every day. It was the style for awhile in the late 90’s.
- Comment on What comes after postmodernism? 3 weeks ago:
post liberalism?
Unfortunately this one’s already here.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Take the time to tailor your resume and cover letter for the jobs you want.
Then spam away at everything else.
Save your energy for the good ones.
- Comment on Do Janitors on movie sets get upset for when a scene causes the actors to make a mess and they have to come and clean it up? 4 weeks ago:
That would be a job for the scene setters, not the custodians.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
you can’t make a simple calculator without JavaScript
But you can make an overly-complicated one with PHP!
/s it would actually still be simple just needing page reloads
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Many of the things JS is used for are better done with CSS.
- Comment on Why are American men leaving the workforce at historic rates? 4 weeks ago:
It’s about to be! They’re already showing me, a millennial, articles about a “job cliff”.
- Comment on I am running out of battery 4 weeks ago:
Realistic options only, please, I’m in a similar situation.
- Comment on What does the word data mean per se ? 4 weeks ago:
Data is the plural of datum.
A datum is an atom of information, the smallest amount of information that still makes sense.
But in your case, it means “how many bytes we’re willing to transmit to your phone at high speed per month”.
- Comment on How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English. 4 weeks ago:
Also all the intentional malapropisms and misspellings.
- Comment on Why do people say "my taxes" 4 weeks ago:
I’ve got bad news for anyone renting.
- Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 5 weeks ago:
Not all birds sing well.

It means you act like you don’t care what anyone thinks.
