You can instead put off buying the sticker for the three years of placement decision time, then frantically search for a sticker that used to be widely available, be unable to find it, and regret the decisions that lead you to this place.

Turn hard to the left while accelerating, then hard to the right while braking. That usually shakes it out.

I, too, am scared of clean spaces.

There’s surgical interventions that cure a lot of things, like certain kinds of blindness, or pretty much anything that requires a transplant.

With two prospective diabetes cures moving towards human trials, I hope there will be a more compelling answer in 10 years or so, but that’s TBD.

“Sorry, someone else has already asked a question about python.”

Won’t someone think of the children('s rights)?

Often “equality” is used to refer to legal and societal systems closer to equal treatment, and “equity” is used to refer to systems closer to equal outcomes.

Of course, the terms as defined in the dictionary are very similar, while how close the ideas they represent are when applied depends substantially on what is being considered, when, and how.

I think part of what has happened is a group of people has identified that a lot of modern writing is garbage, but doesn’t know exactly what’s wrong with it. The issue gets blamed on whatever seems like the most obvious change to them. There are some stories with better writing that have a diverse set of characters, and while there are still weirdos on the internet that complain about it, the general market response suggests people are most interested in good media, and good media can represent a diverse range of people.

As for my take on modern writing, I think “design by committee”, by means of publishers and marketing specialists grasping more control over the creative process is the major culprit in its declining quality.

In my geometry class, there are no angles. In my geometry class, everything is straight lines, parallel to the line between the center of the sun, and the middle of the flat Earth, just like God intended.

I agree with some of the other answers you’ve received, but I want to add one.

I think there’s a kind of impulsive confidence, and unmitigated determination that lets me put on shorts when it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit out, then tells me to stay the course, and accept that I have entirely become cold, rather than merely passing by it.

As for what other people can do to help me feel that feeling, I have no idea. I do those things because of the way that I am. People have already tried encouraging or discouraging me, and it hasn’t changed how I prefer to dress (for example).

My Geiger counter is beeping occasionally, even though I’m hiding in my basement. Is… Is this the end?

The Affordable Care Act passed, and addressed some of the most glaring, campaigning worthy issues. It’s only been 14 years, and already support for the ACA is rising, and opposition is falling off.

Support for more fracking has risen slightly in the last 4 years, but it lags behind the growth in support for solar, wind, and even nuclear. I suspect (caveat emptor) that as renewables bring energy costs back into check, support for fracking will follow the drop in support of coal production. It should not be a surprise that any shelter is popular in a storm.

Both parties used to be strongly against illegal immigration, now one campaigns against it, but did most of the things they were allowed to do to encourage and allow it, including publicly declaring their support for illegal immigrants, and passing sanctuary city laws.

I don’t have a strong grounding in how much open support there is for genocide, but I think the American population is more aware of it happening than they were in the past. Hopefully that means we care more now.

It, uhh… It looks like your double peen is made of plastic. Are you sure this is something to brag about?

They just had sex, too.

Thanks!

Guys (et al), please don’t make fun of the dim fool’s name. It’s rude and frankly immature.

Edited: spelling

Any reasonably powerful god could make a non-Euclidean spacetime in which the points equidistant from a central point also form 4 straight line segments of equal length that meet at right angles.

I also think the classic rock so heavy it can’t be lifted fails, for the same reason that an omnipotent god could clearly commit suicide, if it wanted to (and once it did, it would no longer have the capability to perform other actions).

The omniscience thing is harder, because of things like incompleteness theorem, but I don’t think I can really describe what it means to know everything in the first place. “Able to provide a true, and comprehensive answer to any question for which a true, and comprehensive answer is possible” doesn’t seem to give any contradictions, but as you mention has the feel of dancing around all the hard issues.

Ha! Unlike (some of) you plebs, I live in a very exclusive time zone with less than a billion people in it.

As long as you can maintain a steady stream of ejaculate, it’ll feel the same for her.
