I don’t live in the US.

He is cashing in on all the goodwill the US has built up in the western world since the 1942.

I did not like many vegetables at all as a kid.

Tomato and onion are two of my favorites

It’s not a loophole if it’s illegal. My guess is this counts as fraud.

A question about if the voting age should be lowered.

I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.

I’ve been done with education for longer than I’ve been in education.

I hope kids nowdays get a well rounded education that is not just the bare necessities of read/write/count but if I had to make a choice I’d prioritize STEM over humanities.

I’d rather live in a boring world with too little music, literature and art where my car works and I’ve got water in the tap than the opposite.

They should not be that warm but it’s about the limit of what is comfortable to touch.

What’s the melting point of the regular filament? You’re supposed to touch the oven knobs it so it’s probably not much higher than 50 degrees.

Does it mean anything in itself to be in a simulation?

I don’t really see how that would change anything in my day to day life.

I’d say blöt and degig translates to wet and doughy and they are about as close as wet or doughy. Maybe a nuance we’re missing a word for in Swedish.

Do we have a word for it? Google translate suggestions are unsatisfactory to me .

Fill in the paperwork for a darwin award first.

Best case you’ll rear end your intended target.

Not very much. Not that I’m proud of what I posted on the internet when I was a teen but it’s nothing extreme.

In what way are you mean to yourself?

Do something today that your future self will appreciate. What would you do to a friend to be kind? Do that for yourself in the future.

Yes, and barbed wire, Czech hedgehogs, guard towers with snipers.

Jokes aside apart from preventing a ball flying into traffic during recess what are we trying to achieve?

If you pick one you’re 5% likely to pick the right one and be 100% correct.

You’re 95% likely to pick the wrong one. Then you miss the conspiracy that is true and you believe in one that is not true so 18/20 = 90% correct.

Average out the probabilities and it should turn out to be something like 90.5%.

Edit:I may be off on the maths now that I think about it.

If 1 in 20 conspiracy theories are correct then you’ll be 95% correct if you disbelieve all of them.

If you pick one to believe in you’ll be about 90% correct on average.

If you pick 10 you’ll be about 50% correct.

Negotiating the price of my car I did not have the luxury of walking away because my old one broke down.

I got a reasonable deal by agreeing to the price but requesting they do the big service that was coming up next year anyway. It’s relatively cheap for them to do compared to what I’d have to pay.

Old Nagrand in wow.

The stuff I did today for my future self.

Toenail soup.
