I thought that they checked to make sure people were psychologically stable before giving them special-forces training…

There’s nothing wrong with it in the moral sense, but I’m not sure it was a good idea. This guy was ultimately successful. However, he had to spend years living very modestly, working very hard, and borrowing money. That whole time, he was under a huge amount of stress because the whole endeavor could easily have ended in failure, leaving him with nothing.

That’s not something most people would want to do even if they were capable of it, and I actually wonder if he would have been better off if he had gotten a normal job instead. He wouldn’t have as much money as he does, but he would still be quite comfortable, he wouldn’t have gone through panic-attack levels of stress, and maybe he would have married and had a child (which made him very, very happy) a lot earlier than he actually did.

A caveman would just use his finger and then lick the salsa off of it.

I talked to a guy who was trying to found a start-up and I asked him why he was doing it. He said “Because I’m unemployable.” Another person I know is working on it because she eventually wants to be in a position where no one can tell her what to do. Not being OK with working for other people seems like it might be a common trait.

I do know one guy who went through with it simply because he thought that the thing that he invented was so cool that he couldn’t stop working on it. I suppose that’s also not something a normal person would do, but it’s more positive.

Are there a lot of Ukrainian Americans voting for Trump? The ones I know tend to be relatively conservative by American standards and a couple of them are voting for him, but most of them support aid to Ukraine and so they support Harris.

Galadriel and Celeborn were married in the First Age and the story takes place at the end of the Third, so they were married for at least six and a half thousand years. During that time, they had one child. How often do you think they had sex?

Wasn’t there a 3.5 build that could in theory throw the moon?

She reminds me of someone…

So, uh, is the spider hotter in person? Because the picture isn’t doing it for me.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

One day people will be beaming terrifying thoughts directly into their children’s minds and this comic won’t make any sense at all.

Back in my day, my dad thought it was hilarious to deliberately frighten me and I, uh, didn’t like it.

Why do you feel that the joke is outdated?

It’s a bold move but I don’t see it changing the outcome of the ongoing war. If Ukraine could build long-range ballistic missiles in the near future, I think they could regain the advantage even without any nuclear warheads. Nuclear warheads would not be useful without those ballistic missiles.

(What would happen if Ukraine did have nuclear-armed ballistic missiles but Russia refused to withdraw from Ukrainian territory? I don’t foresee Ukraine actually nuking Russia, even in those circumstances.)

All 54 of the children? He really is a god of marriage.

So, uh, how does this guy attract women?
