  • Did it also use its owner as a marionette to cook linguini?

  • I play my Wii U, the only console that was ever fully mine.

  • I mean the "omission" understanding might depend on what a "right" is. An ethical right? Definitely not, as natural law makes all humans equal. Which makes the "it was fought over the states' rights" sound like the biggest example of "but the constitution said I could do this" in history. You'd think all the people who care about rights would care as much about ordinary law to be fair.

  • When you say "in the corner", I'm guessing this was one of those really, really old small schools you'd see in Little House on the Prairie.

  • She sounds like she had a short circuit.

  • If this were true, I'd know more languages than I do now.

  • I wonder how much experience they had before saying that.

  • Was it an extracurricular activity, a field trip, or an actual part of class?

    Sounds like my school and the local lido. "You'll get a grasp on what to do in no time" one could expect them to have said. Still waiting for "no time" to come and go.

  • I mean his train of thought deserves credit, just not for factoring in everything. A good Greek philosopher was like the Sherlock Holmes of their day; I recall reading Aristotle saw the Earth's shadow on the moon and how it curved and he was like "ah, so the Earth isn't flat, it's a ball" (though then he'd go on to say stuff like "other cultures are less prone to revolution, so they must be natural slave cultures", which would be more like Half-Life 3's hypothetical version of Sherlock Holmes).

  • neurospicy brain

    Hey I have one of these. Maybe not in the typical way, but still. So don't worry.

    For reasons like you describe where neurotypicals aren't always exactly known for being critical, sometimes I think of how accurate it might be under some definitions to say neurotypicals are the faultily-minded ones.

  • Gives a new meaning to "flame wars".

  • Not so fun fact, he is said to be the first European to have syphilis as it was originally a Caribbean condition, and he was said to have caused it to spread in Europe, which also means he is the reason everyone started wearing powdered wigs as it went from a way to hide syphilis baldness to a fashion statement. So now you know what to expect (a version of George Washington who looks like Brad Pitt perhaps) if you ever go back in time and burn the Santa Maria.

  • I had a friend whose computer teacher had such a severe grudge on him that when his brother (who was her favorite student) went to jail, she gave him a passing grade despite him failing, in order to get rid of him out of lamentation.

  • Even North Korea never went that far.

  • There's other versions of it, but it's rare. Quince cider allegedly had to be revived from ancient Akkadian recipes (very recently too) after being lost and undrank for a few thousand years. Supposedly people back then had alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions of it. We are slowly re-perfecting it again.

  • I wondered that too, but then you have people like Whoopi Goldberg and Chris Rock on that list. And it's not like Will Smith was that rich friend.
