    Nevan B replied to Do you prefer your toothpaste tube to have a screw-on/off cap or the "attached cap?":

    Yes, I generally do go on at least one vacation a year, usually a few. I always go to my family's vacation home at Lake Tahoe at least once. And sometimes I go to L.A. or Japan (where my mom's relatives live). This year I may be going to New York.

    Nevan B replied to Do you ever run into people that you went to highschool with? How do you react?:
    I recently ran in to someone I hadn't seen since high school (i.e. eight years ago).

    Nevan B replied to Is there almost nothing about the Western world's customs and practices that cannot be traced back to sungod worship?:
    The word "bachelor" does not derive from "Bacchus". That is a folk etymology. And Bacchus was not the sun god either.

    Nevan B replied to Do you wish suffering and pain to the people that have wronged you?:

    Nevan B replied to Parents of adult children: do your children know any of your PINs and/or passwords? Do you know theirs? ~:

She also knows my banking PIN because it's remarkably similar to my grandmother's by complete coincidence (only two digits switched). Otherwise, neither of my parents have any of my passwords. I'm more secretive than they are about these kinds of things.

    Nevan B replied to What's the opposite of insomnia?:
    Well, "somnia" would simply be normal sleep. I guess "supersomnia" would be insomnia's true opposite, describing someone who sleeps too much and too easily. A lot of old people might have that. :P And my cats. 
    • June 16
  • Nevan B
    Nevan B replied to Have you ever slept in the gutter?:
    Nope. The worst place I ever slept was the floor of a crowded motel room with a bunch of drunk friends. I don't think I actually slept for more than an hour that night.

    Nevan B replied to Grammar gurus; which is correct, 'it would be better if Karen were assessed by an external organisation' or *was* assessed by an external..:
    "were" is more formal, "was" is more colloquial. Use of "were" as subjunctive is falling out of usage, but many still use it (including me).

    Nevan B replied to So like are you totally literally sick of the overuse and misuse of the word "totally"? ~:
    When I was in high school in California in the late 2000s, we all said "totes" and its companion word "magotes".

    Nevan B replied to Do you believe for one instant that Albert Einstein was racist or would even entertain such a notion?:
    He may have been at some point in his life. I just hope we don't do the usual "court of public opinion" BS where we now see Einstein as a horrible person whose ideas aren't worth listening to because he said something un-PC in a private diary.

    I've  never had a "dating profile"; it's humorous to even picture myself with such a thing.

    Nevan B replied to What's the point of eating?:

    Nevan B replied to Have you ever had a toilet over flow after going number two?:
    I've clogged the toilet at home before, but it never got to the point of actually overflowing onto the floor. When it happened I could always fix the problem with the plunger (and never have my parents know what happened).

And in the old days, tags could be easily cut off (yep, I'm old enough to remember that). Now they are sewn on the back of the shirt so removing them requires a seam-ripper and you risk putting a hole in the shirt. Some tags are even printed on, but they are still itchy!

Sometimes it's due to stress or being too warm at night, and sometimes there's no clear reason.Unfortunately, in the past couple weeks I'm developing a pattern where I wake up in the middle of the night (between 3-5; I fall asleep around 11:30 or midnight) and am unable to go back to sleep. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel wide awake, no yawning or tiredness, as if I'm ready to start the day...except I'm not.How do you get out of a bad sleep pattern?  less

  • White-owned Mexican food shop in Portland closed amid "cultural appropriation" accusations. Fair?

It was started by two white girls who based their recipes on techniques they learned in Mexico. The shop was shut down after negative media attention surrounding accusations of racism and "cultural appropriation" when the girls shared with a news source that they "peeped" in on older Mexican women making burritos and tried to replicate the recipe in the U.S.They were soon accused of stealing the recipes and thousands of negative Yelp reviews appeared. The business closed up shop shortly after.Was this actually cultural appropriation? Was this tyranny? Was this capitalism and the free market at work?  less

What say you?Keep in mind that "continent" has various definitions, one of which is simply "large geographical region that may be defined by culture more than geography". Zealandia is made of continental crust, so just because most of it doesn't show doesn't mean it shouldn't be a continent (in my opinion).   less
