"I thought that I was in the photo in the yearbook, but couldn't remember which one I was.

indirect76 comments on Feb 2, 2019:

This again? OK, let me give a little anecdote from my life. In high school for Martin Luther King Day a friend and I dressed up as a Jew and a nazi guard. We had a german shepherd and everything. I can’t remember which one I was, but they did put a picture of us in the yearbook. Times were different then, but I can see how these days the photo can come off as sexist. The question is should I now resign from my current job now that this picture has been found and posted all over MySpace? The answer is no, because I am unemployed.

What do you all think of this?

indirect76 comments on Feb 2, 2019:

An apology is good enough for me, but that’s just my white privilege speaking I suppose.

Anyone do intermittent fasting?

indirect76 comments on Jan 26, 2019:

I fast fairly often. I’ve noticed a difference in my mental acuity when I’m in ketosis. My understanding is that the brain operates better on ketones as opposed to glucos. That’s what I’ve experienced unless it’s placebo. I started by just skipping meals, but now it’s not uncommon for me to skip eating for an entire day. The longest stretch was three days when I was testing my limits. A lot of people may think that may be crazy but I’ve heard of folks going much, much longer than that.

Islam a religion or cult?

Existence can be proven, but not goodness. Thus the former would be easier. ‘Existence’ is objective. ‘Good’ is subjective.

Why do we feel territorial about parking space?

indirect76 comments on Dec 24, 2018:

Humans act very bizarrely with parking spaces. I don’t get the obsession to getting the absolute closest spot possible. I’ve seen people wait for someone to pull out when it’s much quicker to get a spot that availability a few spaces further away. I’ve seen this behavior in gym parking lots. I’m somewhat of a young buck still, so I typically park a good distance away so people that may need closer spaces can have them. It’s OK. The extra 100 feet aren’t going to kill me.

The whole thing is broken and confusing. First, there are no operators between each line. So I’ll assume addition. Second, 3x is ambiguous because x could mean an unknown value or a multiply operator. I’ll assume it’s an operator. Given the order of operations, you multiply first (3x0), then add all the 3s. So 36

There are many things to consider when communicating with women. Make sure the picture is well lit and you’re catching a good angle. You definitely don’t want a head on shot, or a complete profile shot. Make sure you hair is well trimmed. Try to hide the balls as much as you can. Realize that they never photograph well. Perhaps get a professional to take the picture. If all else fails, just find a good photo off a porn site. By the time they realize it’s not yours, it’s too late. Good luck.

Yes the athiest lifestyle is pretty strange, but that’s how we do.
