Your wish has been granted. You'll find a truckload of money on your lawn, sadly it is from a different time and place and nobody will take it. I wish the road next to my house wasn't so close.

Have you considered the possibility that you're actually an asshole? It's why some call me one. It's not an entirely bad thing.

I deliberately avoid the why, because arguing about why in a discussion where people lack a basic understanding of the how and what is futile. --- The human body isn't perfectly adapted to the world we live in today. We changed the game, so mechanisms that worked well before the agricultural...

Sorry; but it isn't an oversimplification. You can't violate the laws of thermodynamics. Yes, the body can regulate it's metabolism - but there's limits to how flexible it is. Since this regulation is encompassed by the calories out part of the equation - my simplification accounts for it...

It is a valid simplification. If you cannot see that you are incapable of rational, logic thought. I'm going to assume that's the case, but I'll give you a chance and elaborate on why it is that simple, and why your arguments are irrelevant. The laws of thermodynamics are well-proven, and if...

No. Don't just point to the dietary composition and think that alone explains it. If calories in > calories out you get fat; it's that simple, and it happens no matter what you eat. Can a "better" diet make it easier to be in balance, sure. Can a better diet make for less non-obesity related...

I know why I chose my avatar. It's a picture I like, a self-portrait that reveals something about me, from a time when I had it all. It also gets noticed. Please, analyze it and be brutally honest. It doesn't show a nice person, but what does it reall show?

Everyone I know have cellphones. I expect anyone between 10-65 to have a cellphone. I also hardly ever expect people to use landlines outside of work. But this is something that varies from country to country. Circumstances also make it vary. In the document linked below it's also evident that...

The most common reason for using linux on personal computers is... that it's fun. It's really that simple. And from there it spreads. Sometimes it gets shoved onto systems where there's better alternatives. Linux has lots of strengths. Most of the hardcore fans refuse to see it's weaknesses...

No way. I like being an asshole.

I suck at the whole friendship concept. So... I basically don't have any friends. (Ok, maybe one. But it's too early to tell if she's a true friend. My criteria for that are... possibly unrealistic, but the one that's relevant here: I didn't even know who she was a year ago. True friendship...

Option #1 is a bad one. If you leave, leave completely - and don't look back. I would recommend sticking around, giving him space, and think about how you're reacting. This is an opportunity for you to grow as a person. Depression is common and annoying. Don't expect quick improvement, nor that...

Thorough and updated article from one of Norway's largest newspapers in english: http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/artikkel.php?artid=10080597 Wikipedia also has a comprehensive article that gets updated from multiple sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks...

I'm not sure if I like my results, or the test. I think it tries to say too much based on just a few questions. When it comes to love, you fall in love very quickly and easily. You give 35% to your relationship and expect to receive 65% in return. If there is a problem in your relationship, you...

Physical pain. Some of it with physical reasons, some of it is just psychosomatic pain with emotional roots. Don't worry about being nosy with me, I have thick skin. Everytime I see any sort of documentary about the prison systems around the world I'm reminded about how far along we have come...
