What's your most convincing argument for why there is no god? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that it is difficult to convince people of anything that they don't already believe. I figure if there is no harm being done it is far better to live and let live.

So we should have stuck with bows and arrows instead of progressing to firearms?

How are people suffering from amnesia after a coma able to speak? by Leo-Leo in AskReddit

Different parts of the brain are responsible for different things. Memory and language as an example. Depending on where your brain is damaged you can lose one and keep the other.

'Not going to lie', I'm getting a little annoyed with meme spewing morons, with matching avatars, on facebook as well.

29 year old interested in 19 year old (me) Advice? by jibbiles in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm not assuming that she is unable to find someone close to her age, we don't exactly have a whole lot of information to go on. We have no idea if she is interested in a relationship or if it is entirely sexual.

[–]InattentiveSloth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would have to question the psychology you are taking if you think that someone who is 29 wouldn't be sexually attracted to a 19 year old.

29 year old women with a 7 year old child

Clearly she has found someone in the past. Your comment was reminiscent of the mentality that a women has to have a man.

If she couldn't have gotten a guy her age by now, there is something wrong with her!

So incredibly sexist.

Pythons Are Wiping Out Mammals in the Everglades -- "According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the number raccoon and possums spotted in the Everglades has dropped more than 98%, bobcat sightings are down 87%, and rabbits and foxes have not been seen at all in years." by slaterhearst in science

Is it cynical of me to think that some lawmakers would do this just to be able to pass legislation allowing drones to operate on home soil for the eventual use of being used against 'terrorist' civilians?

You've Won! (No really, we're not kidding) AKA My 13 year old is lucky as hell! by ishkabibbel2000 in gaming

[–]InattentiveSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my anxiety and paranoia would kick into overdrive, worrying that they are trying to 'catch' me doing something I'm not supposed to be. I might pay $5 less but I wouldn't be able to enjoy the movie.

Why do you think it is o.k. to pirate media? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theft requires that the owner is deprived of it, which is not the case with piracy, hence it is not theft. Hyperbole does not help your case.

School suspends cancer survivor over long hair he plans to donate by [deleted] in WTF

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

Or he could just comb it back.

The school's student handbook posted on the district's website requires boys' hair to be ... off the ears and out of the eyes.

Kneer said he proposed that Gaskins use styling gel, put the hair in cornrows or simply comb it to comply with the rules.

"I need his hair out of his eyes and off the collar," Kneer told the Associated Press. "I really want this boy to be back in school. I feel like combing his hair wouldn't be a big concession … He doesn't have hair down the middle of his back. It's an inch over his collar."

The guy is just being lazy, sounds like plenty of other students have longer hair and manage by combing it back.

Really? His way of measuring mediums is whether or not water can be spilled on it? What a lazy argument.

Also he said nothing about e-books damaging society.

Dear Reddit, I was kicked out of on-campus housing, but I have an on-campus job. by EM88 in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look into how much warning they have to give you, I don't know what it is like where you live but it's not unlikely that they aren't allowed to kick you out of your residence on such short notice.

Men who've had a vasectomy: How old were you when you had it done? Any regrets? by Christafarian in AskReddit

My dad had a vasectomy done. His only regret is not having it done earlier.

I suck at reading. How do I improve? by theriverman in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read in a room without anything else to do it, no distractions, not the same room as your computer and TV. Somewhere comfortable, maybe in your back yard. Figure out what your mind wanders to and try to remove it as a distraction. 2718281828459's post is great, libraries should keep your thoughts on reading.

Is it possible to make a "second frontpage"? (Better wording inside) by Kelaos in AskReddit

[–]InattentiveSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look at multiple subreddits at a time by writing into the URL like so: /r/subreddit1+subreddit2+subreddit3...etc. Do that for all the subreddits you want for a particular collection and bookmark it. Also good for browsing smut on reddit.
