At my university, all exams were handwritten (with exceptions for people with disabilities or special needs)

Dogs are small like dogs, but they’re pretty popular

18+ I wish I was Asexual.

Seriously I hate that. I always fantasize about having sex with very attractive women. It really grinds my fuck gears because I know that I will be a virgin forever because prostitution is illegal in Canada. So I unfortunately can not pay a very attractive 18 year old woman to have sex with me. I really wish that I was Asexual...

In my experience, sex is like board games. It’s fun while you’re doing it, but the pleasure is finished soon enough. It’s not a life-changing event. If you don’t get to play board-games very often, or never before, or you just don’t enjoy it - that does not define you.

I know you’re just venting rather than looking for answers, but sex isn’t as important as many people seem to think.

Worx ,

I’ve not read the article yet, but I’m going to assume it’s affecting my sleep because I’m reading about how it’s affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess

I came into this thread thinking, “huh, I thought MTG liked Trump”. It literally didn’t occur to me that she wasn’t making fun of him. How can you possibly call Trump a convicted felon, compare him to the perfect son of God, and still think you’re a serious person? It’s insane

Worx ,

Haha yeah, I automatically tried to write her name as MtG first time around

Worx ,

Your knowledge of the Bible is different to mine. I was taught that Jesus lived a perfect life then died as a sacrifice, in exchange for the perfect life that Adam squandered. (Eve doesn’t count because she’s a woman, or something)

EDIT: either way, it’s not something I believe to be true any more

Worx ,

Do you think that would work if I said it in conversation?

Worx ,

… said the stubborn person refusing to upgrade.

I was still on Windows 7 until about four months ago when I needed to upgrade to 10 for work. I totally agree and understand your point

Worx ,

I have a small van with a bed and a sink in. I don’t visit any campsites. I don’t see this as “wild camping”, but apparently it counts so I’ll pitch in my advice anyway. I feel like we would have very similar interests - my holidays consist of going to Scotland for roughly a week, walking wherever seems nice, and generally being away from other people. I park overnight in lay-bys or carparks that allow camping. I started out sleeping in the back of my car for the first few years, but it’s not as comfortable and I enjoyed myself enough that I decided to invest in a van.

The things I bring with me are

  • bottled water (I have some 5L bottles that I fill from the tap, usually 30L is enough for drinking and hand washing for a week, with one “shower” from a bottle)
  • books
  • bedding
  • camping stove and wok
  • reusable plastic plates and forks
  • clothing
  • money (this is the most important, because if you forget anything else on the list you can buy it with money)
  • map of where I’m going downloaded to my phone

I go shopping and find a toilet once a day. I drive to somewhere nice (just look at the map and take a guess). Sit and read,go for a walk wherever looks interesting, snack, sleep, repeat. In terms of food, it’s mostly pastries and salad, because it’s hard to find ready-to-eat vegetarian food. For cooking, I’ve found that stuffed pasta and readymade sauce is easy to cook, and the other go-to is vegetarian sausages in a bun. But generally I only eat one or two cooked meals per holiday. It’s not worth the washing up IMO.

My experience is probably different than what you’re planning, but similar enough to be useful advice I hope. You can literally start by just jumping in a car with some food and water, and driving somewhere nice. As long as you have a car, anyway. I’d suggest to start small and close to home, then it’s an easy escape if anything goes wrong

TIL in the Carboniferous Period, no fungus existed to decompose trees. They just grew on top of each other up and up.

The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!

Worx ,

Bonus fact bonus fact: Shakes are older than the rings of Saturn.

You did a great job in the Star Waes prequals, btw

Since when are farmers wealthy?

Worx ,

I live in a rural area and know a lot of farmers (meat, dairy and veg), none of whom are wealthy. Several don’t own land, but have to rent it instead. Those that do own land tend to be asset-rich but don’t actually have cash (as in, they own land and farm equipment, but they can’t sell it because then they wouldn’t be able to keep working). Maybe it’s different in other parts of the country, but around here people are struggling. We also have the issue of banks and other large corporations buying up land to plant with timber as carbon offsets, rather than putting in work to reduce their carbon footprint.

‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice (www.theguardian.com)

Scientists have warned that a court decision to block the growing of the genetically modified (GM) crop Golden Rice in the Philippines could have catastrophic consequences. Tens of thousands of children could die in the wake of the ruling, they argue....

Worx ,

It’s interesting about native species. Think about apple trees in the UK. They grow very well here, the climate is suited perfectly, they don’t seem to be invasive (talking as a layperson here). Yet they were introduced about 2000 years ago by the Romans. Does that mean they’re old enough to now count as native? I mean, if you go back far enough, everything came from somewhere else. Unless you’re looking at a deep-sea vent where life very first evolved, then it has spread from somewhere else.

Maybe if I was a botanist or ecologist, I would know the actual answer. But I’m just a person who loves thinking about things in a philosophical way, without necessarily wanting to research in-depth answers for every little puzzle

Worx ,

Imagine being able to afford rent. I just live with my parent and hate it every day!

Worx ,

I found the person who can’t fly planes

Worx ,

Same thought here!

Worx ,

Luckily my testicles weren’t studied, so I must be safe. Right?

Worx ,

Boba deez nuts, lmao gottem

Worx ,

Right, but why not be an arsehole to your workers as well? Could be fun

Worx ,

He’s a child of God and therefore worthy of love. Trump obviously sucks, but Jesus said “love your neighbour” and that includes Trump. Of course, God would send Trump to hell when he dies so bit of a mixed message there. Religion is weird sometimes…

Worx ,

“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife. Also “ball and chain” which… yeah…

Worx ,

Ah, I see

Worx ,

I’d let them dominate me

Worx ,

^doot^

Worx ,

Wtf that’s so big

On a related note, I was also surprised during a school trip at how small puffins are

I think I’m not good at knowing bird sizes

Worx ,

Fuck my future self, I’m having a good time

EDIT and anyway, it’s my past self that had a drink and didn’t go to bed on time. All I’m doing is hanging out

Worx ,

I don’t need religion to spout off about things I know nothing about

Worx ,

In case anyone actually wants to know a couple of reasons

A) It’s not fair that some people pay and some don’t. (Of course it’s also not fair that some can afford $70 on a video game and some struggle to buy food)

B) If everyone would pay then we’d all only have to pay $50 each, lowering the price for those that are paying $70 at the moment. (Whether developers would lower prices or just make more money is another question)

Worx ,

Bat’leth saber for the real tryhards out there

EDIT: I guess it would actually be called a light bat’leth

Worx ,

Thank you

Worx ,

I feel like one person could just play dead and not react at all during sex.

… In fact, that sounds very familiar :(

Worx ,

17 is ok if you’re into older girls I guess. /s and also yuck

Worx ,

Cow yummy

This has got to be a troll, right?

Worx ,

God’s a dick, he probably told Noah to put 20 on to make sure they survived

Worx ,

Can’t be that fragile else the waves would have destroyed them long ago

Worx ,

I could easily beat a bear in a debate

Worx ,

Going to McDonald’s definitely feels like have fries with your salt, rather than the other way around. Can confirm

Worx ,

Is that actually surprising? If someone comes and colonises your shit, of course you’re not going to like them

Worx ,

You don’t even seem to know what communism is, seeing as you conflate it with socialism in another of your comments

Worx ,

I assumed it was the same thing. In the UK, all our phones are prepaid. You can either get a contract for a set monthly amount, or you buy credit which you spend over time (which presumably is what you mean by prepaid).

While we’re on the subject, is it true that you have to pay to receive calls in the US?

Worx ,

I’ve got this weird half-remembered thought in my head that you don’t have a separate set of phone numbers for mobile / cell vs landline (in the UK, all mobile numbers start 07… ). Therefore you don’t know who you’re calling so it wouldn’t be possible to charge extra when calling a cell phone, therefore the owner of the cell phone has to pay that extra amount.

Like I said, it’s just a vague half-memory and I could have completely made it up. That’s why I’m asking

Worx ,

I would have thought that it’s not a great source, but also I’ve only read half the abstract of this paper so who am I to say?

Worx ,

If you would wake up and get out of bed the first time the alarm went off you would be less tired overall.

And if you work out how to do that, please share with me

Worx ,

I don’t have any scientific evidence, but an extra 5-10 minutes of sleep before being woken again isn’t enough to provide any benefit. Better to set the alarm for when you mean to wake up and leave it at that

Personally I set three alarms over the course of ten minutes just in case, but usually I’m either fully awake after the first one or tired enough to sleep through all three

Worx ,

Polluting vehicles are not the same as people… you know that, right? The reason for the ULEZ is to keep emissions low, not restrict tourism

Worx ,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you’re producing it, then it’ll be human cheese not goat cheese
