Comment preview: Hey - I missed the original post, but I want to reiterate what everyone is saying. - Someone who just doesn't show up for a date *probably* isn't worth your time. There's an outside chance there was a legit emergency, but i don't know the details. If you k ....

Comment preview: I used to have these kinds of arguments with my mother. I respect her faith and have wish to crush it or interfere with it. But when she heard you could only view stars to about 4 thousand light years (roughly true with the naked eye) which was less what t ....

Comment preview: Yeah, this dude came to speak at my company. Most of us didn't go because we were either offended by the language, smart enough to see through the empty business model, or both. Unfortunately our hands are tied because nobody wants to be the one to make wa ....

Comment preview: *No!* no no no no no no. Listen. I am not the most assertive person in face to face conversation, especially if I don't feel like I'm talking to a peer. But look... time has taught me that these conversations are way less painful than you think they are go ....

Comment preview: Hiking: being in nature relaxes your brain (unless you're in Australia) and it's not result oriented. When I was dealing with depression and practicing guitar, I'd usually end up more frustrated by my lack of apparent progress. On the one hand, I fought th ....

Comment preview: Screw duct tape. Gaff tape is slightly more expensive, but it has a matte black cloth backing and a rubber-based adhesive that doesn't ruin surfaces or leave sticky residue when removed. EDIT: It wasn't my intent to imply that gaff tape is a straight up re ....

Comment preview: Edit: hey guys, I know bad people do bad things with guns, but for those that actually follow the law, guns make a great hobby. They're fun to go to a range and shoot, they're fun to work on, collect and sell, gun shows are a lot of fun to go to. I don' ....
