- Comment on Always nice to have a guest room 1 week ago:
But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink a liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.
- Comment on we are not the same 1 week ago:
It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

They’re just arcs from an infinite radius circle.

If you want to go that way, the straight parts have infinite angles too.

It shows all downvotes first, then all upvotes.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 3 weeks ago:
No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

we should go do X
we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle
That’s not small talk, that’s planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with “hey, what do you want to do today?”
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years
I met my wife when we were 16-17. We are in our 40s now. It’s reasonable to expect that our opinions on such subjects have changed since then.
But there are plenty of subjects to talk about. How is the current environment in the US going to impact our kids’ lives going forward? Even if we know each other’s general perspectives on life, the universe, and everything, that doesn’t mean we can also predict opinions on complex scenarios and situations.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
talking about things with very low impact or consequences
Isn’t that the definition of small talk?
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
The free will question is much closer to the conversations I was having with my wife before we got married. We were talking for hours every day, I can’t imagine spending hours on small talk.

I assumed she’s from a game, but didnt know the game or her name. All I know is the meme template:
- Comment on Machetes to be banned from sale in Victoria the wake of Northland Shopping Centre brawl 4 weeks ago:
I kept waiting for the punchline, I thought this is sarcastically mimicking the American arguments against gun regulations.

My ZX Spectrum clone didn’t have a “tape drive”, it had a cable that you could connect any tape player to. We didn’t have a specialized tape player for it, we attached the same one we played music on.
- Comment on Yes 4 weeks ago:
I remember when I first saw floppies and how amazing it was to load things instantly instead of waiting minutes for a game to load from a cassette tape.

I’m in my 40s now and I definitely did not burn near as many CDs as my dad did (he was born in '49)

Never understood why, but it’s called “thick milk” in mine.

Like all Romance languages, number “one” has different masculine and feminine forms, depending on what you’re counting. Unlike other Romance languages, number “two” is also gendered.

Have they stopped airing Zeffirelli’s one on TV? I remember it was always on the schedule during Easter.

How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?
It’s literally the KJV wording of Luke 6:45
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 months ago:
Yes, not all people are of the same opinion of what is better. Or even that we need to improve in the first place.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 months ago:
could just find anything meaningful and it would be equally valid
From an evolutionary standpoint, sure. As long as the species keeps going, evolution doesn’t care how.
But from our own desire of self-improvement, some paths are better than others.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 months ago:
Nothing we are or do has any meaning to the universe. But our lives and actions have meaning to ourselves. And science is important for humanity. The universe doesn’t care if we develop science or not, but we care. There’s no great universal narrative where we play any role, but we do write our own narrative for ourselves and those to come.

It’s not about the screenshots, I’m just amazed with how you’re playing a different game every day. I can’t put down a game until I 100% it.

Because it came up with transphobia
- Comment on Day 249 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
I don’t get how people do this. I obsessively play a single game until I exhaust everything possible to do in that game. Only then I move on to the next game. In 243 days I would probably have screenshots of 2 games total.

What about the other odor producing compounds? From wikipedia:
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatulence#cite_note-Suarez…) Hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan (also known as methanethiol), dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide are present in flatus.
