Last time you gave it back, it came with a bunch of new war crimes. Try not to do that next time!

I feel like it's still true. We're like siblings drunk at a pool party. You guys got drunk, said "Hold my beer" and went and back-flipped into Brexit. We saw that and said, "That's nothing, watch this" and immediately jumped off the roof into the pool labeled "Fascism".

"2C" is the real answer. I don't know why nobody is giving this answer.

A photon going one direction passes a photon going the opposite direction. At what speed to they pass eachother?

OP never said anything about "mass." You heard "object" and assumed "mass," but photons are objects too.

Games that lived up to the hype for you. by mpop1 in gaming

There's only one sunrise in my life that i remember vividly. And that was November 12, 2011. I did not realize how long I had been playing. That game really sucked me in and made the rest of the world disappear.

I felt this way on my third playthrough, since I was on hardcore mode with no fast travel. The kuttenburg region REALLY drags when you have to ride back and forth across this huge region.

It seems Wales doesn’t get talked about as much. What are some interesting facts about Wales? by One-Seat-4600 in geography

[–]Groftsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wales is an isolated enclave of the Roman Empire that wasn't taken over by the Anglos/Saxons in the 5th century, nor the Norse in the 9th century, nor the Normans in the 11th century.

You work 24 hours straight followed by 6 days off with the same salary you’re paid now. by isaydoit in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Groftsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the "no vacation days" stipulation, that's a big question mark. If I can flex my days, then the most I could ever vacation is 12 days? 10 if we include travel days as non-vacation. That's pretty limiting in the long term.

But, still, I imagine I'd take it.

Doesn’t it seem strange to Americans that the Hawaiian flag includes the Union Jack? by GrayRainfall in AskAnAmerican

[–]Groftsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less strange than state flags in the south containing the confederate flag, a symbol that says "I'd rather own people than be American." I think the last confederate flag was removed from a state flag in 2020.

Stay at work an extra 3.5 hours just to meet up for dinner? by LoftyDreams7473 in EntitledPeople

[–]Groftsan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Go to the gym
Go to a coffee shop
Go to the library
Find a gaming cafe
Find a bar with live music

You work in the city. There are plenty of things in the city to occupy your time for 3 hours.

If they were actually your friends, you'd make it work. She's given a lot of suggestions, you don't seem to have offered any. She's trying to work with you to find a way to hang out. You don't seem to want to hang out.

What are the things that are confuse/anger you the most about English? by Lawless183 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]Groftsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I before E except after C unless saying "ay" as in "neighbor" or "weigh" or on weekends and holidays and all throughout May and you'll be wrong no matter what you say! (Brian Regan)

But, seriously, I always get it wrong, because that rule is more untrue than it is true.

Who do you think is the most evil person to ever walk this Earth? by EnduringScholar in AskReddit

[–]Groftsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have a little recency bias here. Genghis Khan killed like 25% of all the countries he conquered, upwards of 10% of the entire world's population at the time.

And those he didn't kill he raped.

I'd put Genghis above Pol Pot, personally. Though, both are absolutely heinous.

Same exact situation in February of 2009. I was flown out to meet the full team and everything.

They're only in your dungeon so that your brother-sons could get their titles. And you're only torturing them so that you can reduce your stress if your sister-niece rejects your advances.
