• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t do either of those. Besides obvious things like not wearing shorts in winter I just grab the first thing that isn’t uncomfortable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was the fall of Rome this stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you talking about the Fall of Rome the city or Rome the Empire?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I heard about this. Good for her! What’d she get a prize for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Decided to try this by hand just for the fun of it. I stopped at twelve decimal points because it seems to just go on forever and I can’t do this all day. 2.571428571428…

  Write that down! Write that down!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to guess, it’s because they were written by different people at different times.

  I mean I’ll.try but I am not confident in myself here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeebuz Rode A Velocirapture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean…technically they did, and still do, since birds are technically dinosaurs, but context clued tell me that the people being talked about here didn’t have that in mind when answering the survey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come back to this post in 2030's⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a tough one, I’ve had the same TV since I was 4 (17 now). It’s probably exactly what your friend is looking for (no internet connection, has ports for HDMI, SCART, and the red-white-yellow cables), but it’s pretty old so I don’t imagine it’s being sold anymore.

  I know bisexual means attracted to both genders, not sure about the others. Try Wikipedia.
