A rule that asks users to post before they leave seems arbitrary, that’s why it’s confusing to me. If people only post because it’s rule, I thought a logical consequence would be tons of posts of low quality.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does “leave” mean in this context? Before I leave what?


I got banned on Lefty Memes for asking for evidence. :)


I’m here for over a year and I still don’t get much of what’s going on here.
For example, why posts are titled “rule”.
Cardiac disease on a plate.


To anyone downvoting me:
You rightly despise the perpetrator and his actions, but if you advocate vigilante justice, you are showing just as little respect for the law and all the rules of human coexistence as he did. You should all be ashamed.


Yes, the bastard who assaulted her child deserved death.
No, you can’t take justice into your own hands, because vigilante justice means the negation of all civilizational achievements and the rule of law.


But only bad music.
They gave us the thagomizer. What more do you want?


I always cringe when I see native speakers confuse “it’s” and “its”, “their”, “they’re” and “there” and all the other subtleties of their language. But then again, I’m a pedantic German and maybe Americans are so anti-education already that they’re cool with that.


It would fall at 2g, because two Earth-sized masses attract each other in that case. With smaller objects it’s just 1g, because the mass of, let’s say, a nice cup of tea is negligible compared to the mass of Earth.


Indeed, outcomes may vary. I remember growing up in West Berlin in the 1980s, surrounded by the GDR - a highly centralized and hierarchical society with diminished economic inequality. We frequently got time off school because the smog was so bad.
I’m very skeptical if a human society is possible which does not lead to over-exploitation of resources and recklessness towards discovered species on alien planets. I also doubt that the technology required for space travel could be developed in a sustainable manner in the first place.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a Star Trek type society which was somehow able find a solution for this problem, but I fear it’s highly unlikely. Ultimately, we’re selfish apes. That’s why I find the Star Trek premise unrealistic.


The Star Trek universe is based on the premise that a peaceful, united mankind is acting as a benevolent, civilized partner and friend of all alien species.
But let’s be honest, we all know we would behave like the aliens from Independence Day - mercilessly conquering and harvesting alien worlds and spreading destruction across the universe.


With a melon?!
Just for the record, look for Luciano Monosilio on Youtube and how he makes carbonara.


I think water polo is a bit cruel to the horses.
Not only condiment. You can make great dishes using it. Decades ago when I was a poor student, I made a kind of bolognese with it cause I didn’t have anything else in my fridge, and it turned out so great that I still sometimes make that to this day.
I watch way too much porn in order for my brain to respond normally to posts like this.
