It shows all downvotes first, then all upvotes.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 days 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.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 week ago:
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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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.

- Comment on You never forget your first 5 weeks ago:
Never had a console growing up. PC all the way. Started with a ZX Spectrum clone, then a 286, then a Pentium 100, and so on. I got my first consoles as an adult, first the Xbox One, which I never really played anything other than Just Dance on, then a Switch, which I couldn’t really get into either and ended up playing more on Ryujinx than on the actual switch. Bought an old 3DS at one point and its also just sitting in a drawer. Guess I’m too much of a PC gamer to get into consoles.

Never understood why, but it’s called “thick milk” in mine.
- Comment on The pipeline 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Sharp Internet ViewCam: the world's first MPEG-4 video camera, coming June or August 1999. This site is still up! 1 month ago:
That is one page on the Sharp website. The Sharp website still being up is not surprising. That product page still being there means that Sharp never deleted it and didn’t change whatever engine they use for their site.

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

There’s also /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy which is also very strictly woman-centered.

- 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.
- 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:
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.
- 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.

First I saw jelly beans, then I noticed the arrangement and saw touching tips, then I looked for what else could be taken in that direction and noticed the clearly intentional double penetration.

In my native country that was a requirement for the driving test.
- Comment on The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back 3 months ago:
I ignore any calls that are not from my contacts. If it’s important they’ll leave a message. I have DND on at night. Calls and messages from my wife have separate sounds and exception from DND.

- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 3 months ago:
Ok, that’s absurd. I thought it makes sense to change the name in the US if that’s the official name in the US (according to the USGS data, which has always been the official source for this info). But translating the US name into other languages that already have a name for it makes no sense.
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 3 months ago:
That was a culture shock for me when I moved to the US. I knew that back in the day, in rural areas of my country, the markets only opened once a week. I was shocked to find that happen in urban/suburban areas in the US. Back home I could just go to the closest market any day. Morning news would have a report comparing prices in different markets across the city, so you could pick the one that has the best price for what you need that day.
