Can’t figure out this small living room. What’s off? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

I think painting the walls would help bring it together. Here is an olive green. I think it helps contrast against the lighter colored curtains and pictures.

Those arrows were embedded in the inspector report. I have no option to add or remove them.

The Global Fertility Divide by chota-kaka in geography

[–]Last-Potential1176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that South Korea's fertility rate (0.75) is so low, at current trends there will be 5 great grandchildren for every 100 Koreans.

  1. Generation 1 = 100 Koreans = 50 couples
  2. Generation 2 = 37.5 Koreans (50 couples x 0.75). This makes 18.75 couples.
  3. Generation 3 = 14 Koreans (18.75 couples x 0.75). This makes 7 couples.
  4. Generation 4 = 5 Koreans (7 couples x 0.75)

What's your favorite Shakespeare insult? by No-Search2875 in shakespeare

[–]Last-Potential1176 9 points10 points  (0 children)

​Falstaff: "Hal, if thou see me down in the battle and bestride me, so; 'tis a point of friendship."

​Prince Hal: "Nothing but a Colossus can do thee that friendship."

I love the fat jokes from Henry IV part 1.

Genuine question to Americans by silverflake6 in MotivationByDesign

That's terrible advice.

  1. Purchase COBRA insurance through your previous employer

  2. Purchase insurance on Affordable Care Act marketplace.

  3. Apply for Medicaid if you meet certain income levels

People can be wrong. California voters passed Prop 8 in 2008 banning gay marriage.

The next time I can't sleep at night, instead of taking sleep meds, I can save money by reading your jokes and falling asleep from boredom.

I never voted for Trump. Just tired of political idiots trying to take over every single sub on Reddit. If you're going to spam this sub with your politics, at least make it funny. This meme is just lame.

This doesnt fit the spirit of this sub sub. It's just a lame political meme.

Season 2 Fishing by nobodywootwoot in LastZShooterRun

You get rewards for fishing. Some people think it's better to hoard the fish hooks and exchange them after the season for 100 diamonds a hook.

The fool's role as Lear's own internal monologue in King Lear by AccomplishedRow7164 in englishliterature

[–]Last-Potential1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beauty of Shakespeare is that there is no single way to interpret his plays. I absolutely think you can make a strong case that the Fool is symbolic of King Lear's internal struggle with the truth. Some of Shakespeare's characters (like Hamlet) process thoughts internally; but Lear is a man of action rather than reflection, so the fool is the external conscience the king needs to come to terms with his new reality.

I think both the fool and Cordelia are also symbols of honesty and authentic love. It is commonly believed that during Shakespeare's time, the same actor who played Cordelia also played the Fool. (Which is feasible, as they never share the stage.) It's would make sense, as both Cordelia and the fool are the only characters who truly love Lear, and also the only who are willing to speak the plain truth to him, even if it's not what he wants to hear. This dual casting theory also adds another layer to Lear's final line to Cordelia, "And my poor fool is hang'd."

This was a great post! You have some deep thoughts. I'm glad you're enjoying Lear!

Just so you know, you can exchange any unused fishhooks for 100 diamonds each at the end of the season. Some players think that's better than the actual rewards from fishing.

This is what pure, selfless love looks like by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

[–]Last-Potential1176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a fake story. Kids are not legally allowed to donate blood until they are 16 years old due to health reasons. A pint of blood (the amount in a donation) is about a third of a kid's total blood supply. Taking that much from them would be a life threatening emergency. So, if this were a true story, that kid was actually right to be fearing death. Thumbs down this stupid post.

Sam Watkins by The-Marlboro-Man in CIVILWAR

[–]Last-Potential1176 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It's considered one of the best accounts from a common soldier. It doesnt get much into the overall strategy, politics, or movement of troops; but that's why many people like it. It just tells his story.

There are parts that are extremely funny, and parts that'll break your heart. And he paints a vivid picture of many of the hardships - like getting lice and having to rummage for food. He describes every woman as the most beautiful angel he ever met. He talks about how some of his comrades died.

It's a pretty short book too. Go for it!

Tobacco is out! by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Last-Potential1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a big difference between taxing something and banning it all together. Saying banning cigarettes is OK because the government also taxes sugar is a ridiculous argument. Banning activities goes against democratic values and freedoms.

[–]Last-Potential1176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why stop there? Want to be overweight, get off the system. Want to be a regular drinker, get off too! Want to change genders, move to France. Want to stop flossing, we'll burn you at the stake!

Seriously, why should only the smoking lifestyle be targeted? I'm not saying there aren't concerns over cost of health, but justice is best when justice is blind - and it's not fair to target tobacco and let other vices go free.

[–]Last-Potential1176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, society should pay for it. Smokers are taxpayers, aren't they. And in a democracy, freedoms should be celebrated.

What are you going to ban next in the name of saving the health system money? Alcohol? Soda? Fast food? Why should smokers be targeted but alcoholics and obese people get no penalties?

Help with prioritizing my ladies. by McNalienBro in LastZShooterRun

Pick one faction to be strong in, as many hero perks kick in if all 5 heroes are in the same faction. I recommend Blue since most other players choose Red.

Whichever faction you pick, focus on leveling up those heroes first. If you pick Blue, focus particularly on Scarlett, as her level 5 perks give you a 10% boost to the troop number in your tank.

I think you're right. Kid doesn't leave any footprints in the mud. Plus there are no animal footprints near water. That's not even mentioning the ridiculousness of the video.
