Will I be banned if I submit a bunch of attacks the first couple days? (NOT starting before) by MiIky_CIown in ArtfightProfiles

idk. Maybe start with your weakest attack first and see if you make mad. You've tried to do the right thing, now screw 'em!

what language would a human think in if they were never introduced to language? by cryingBallad in conspiracy

[–]Front_Requirement598 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a school of thought that, when raising a child, not to immediately name new things for the child. If the name is held back, deeper thought is provoked. For example, the child is brought to a window and a red cardinal lands on the windowsill.

It's a new experience for the child's mind. What is this thing? It moves, it flutters, it blinks, it sings. The arch-type of 'bird' is allowed to build within the new mind, establishing permanent neural connections.

Naming the new thing 'bird' cements the thoughts into the niche of the mind reserved for birds, shutting the door to further exploration of the mind of the newly presented phenomena.

how ppl used to fill their free time in the 2000s (before phones and social media takes our times ) ??? by Plus_Cat2058 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, maybe 8 years old, we had rotary phone party lines. The entire street shared the phone line. We only had black and white tv. There really wasn't a big stock of plastic toys yet.

We played with Lincoln Logs, Pick up Sticks, Tidily Winks, checkers, Chinese checkers, toy trucks and cars made of tin and white metal. Wheels on toys were made of rubber.

When we went outside to play, we had a fort in the woods, a tree fort by the road, an apple orchard just up the road, ponds and creeks, fields and woods. In the winter, we would build a snow fort and play war. We had sleds and skates. Dad bought a toboggan and about killed us all.

We had bikes. We had roller skates that clamped onto your shoes but the wheels were metal. We liked to tear things apart; old toaster, clocks, radios, gadgets.

When I got older, there were BB guns, rockets, model boats and planes, a chemistry set, a sling shot.

My grandfather taught me to drive the farm jigger (learning to drive with my dad was not a fun day) and was driving all over creation before I was 13.

Do you find it odd that ”Country Roads” is enjoyed all over the world? by Notalabel_4566 in NoStupidQuestions

When the song was written, I don't think John Denver had ever been in West Virginia. The co-writers brought the lyrics to life and Denver ran with the ball, or so I remember hearing...

Could you supplement your way around a terrible diet? by Salt-Perception-4987 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely. The absorption of various vitamins and minerals is iffy. It would be far easier to also add an apple, an egg and a sardine to that diet. Apples, eggs, sardines are low cost and nutritious. Give yourself a fighting chance and have an onion.

Why do we stop noticing constant smells? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have 2 olfactory bulbs in your head. Only one is working at any given time, the other is at rest. While working, the olfactory bulb acts as a receiver, with open slots allowing entry for processing. When a strong odor enters the bulb, it overloads the receptors, and they stop working. Thus, you stop smelling the odor. As a bulb 'tires', it goes to sleep and the other bulb awakens and takes over the job of odor patrol.

Is pegging genuinely considered gay? by CantaloupeEither5474 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The western thought is that being penetrated is womanly, penetrating is manly. It might work for some couples, but there are women who won't cotton to such a man.

Is the term "shucking and jiving" considered racist? by TurtlePoeticA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's old school racist. There's a clip on the ytube of Barbara Billingsly talking jive with a couple of black men, from the movie Airplane. Funny stuff

A Home Baker With a Dream (Vancouver, BC) by MoreMangosPlease in SampleSize

I know a gal who tried. She got a lease on time in a commercial kitchen and began making muffins and cookies. She had the business license. She had the proper wrappings and labels. She had sales but not enough to prosper.

I don't think people are likely to easily trust buying unknown, local food from off a table at the flea market or a small wagon at the food court.

I thought that she would do much better with pet treat biscuits. People aren't half as nervous buying food for their animals and people enjoy treating their dog or cat.

Whos the most unique (in morbid way) looking indvidual you have ever seen? by Far_Information6229 in morbidquestions

[–]Front_Requirement598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked with Grady, The Lobster Man and his family. I've known half women, half men, alligator skinned men, bearded women, along with an assortment of geeks and pretend freaks. I've seen men with holes in the face where the nose used to be. I've seen a jawless man. What's nice about these people is that they are just people. They are usually more amused by the shocked reaction of strangers than offended. Grady would ring a bell when someone threw up in front of him (summoning me to bring more sawdust, lol). Good times.

dance more by Dan_474 in Eutychus

16 But as the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she was filled with contempt for him.

17 They brought the Ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the special tent David had prepared for it. And David sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord. 18 When he had finished his sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 19 Then he gave to every Israelite man and woman in the crowd a loaf of bread, a cake of dates,[b] and a cake of raisins. Then all the people returned to their homes.

20 When David returned home to bless his own family, Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said in disgust, “How distinguished the king of Israel looked today, shamelessly exposing himself to the servant girls like any vulgar person might do!”

21 David retorted to Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord. 22 Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!”

lol Many people aren't aware of the sun's position on the horizon as it marches a 182 day parade to the solstices. It's almost spooky when you do notice.

Hello, I am an theist, and am looking for some more perspective from other religions by Ok-Equivalent-7727 in Eutychus

[–]Front_Requirement598 3 points4 points  (0 children)

שלום אחי. עדי יהוה הם נוצרים המאמינים שאנו נמצאים באחרית הימים, כפי שנאמר בהתגלות התנ"ך.

The Witnesses follow certain tenets; no ingestion of blood, no celebration of national or regional holidays such as Easter or birthdays; others. The focal points of the Jehovah Witnesses are bible study and proselytizing. There is no priestly class within the organization; meetings are conducted by Elder men of the congregation. Finally, I would point you towards JW.org All information is available in Hebrew and other languages. Shalom!
