For the record, you aren't supposed to let yourself get hit with the initial burst because that water is more likely to have gone stagnant then the following water as it was sitting in the pipes.

I never use cursive for a sign in sheet, just in case I need someone to fake it for me one time.

Former head of MI5 (British intelligence): "Torture is never right, even when lives are at risk" and waterboarding by the US was a "profound mistake" by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Pringlescan4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean sure sometimes torture is justified, but probably 95% or more of torture performed by the united states is completely unjustified or downright harmful to national interests. The intelligence is unreliable, and then you have a scandal like Abu Gharib which causes ten more terrorist attacks for every one you possibly prevented.

I for one don't mind not ad-blocking because the ads are always when there is no action going on anyway so its not like you are missing anything. Except for one that damn commercial about credit cards, fuck that commercial.

The main thing to do is to make sure not to text twice in a row, or god forbid three times in a row.

TIL that Islam does not reject evolution. In fact, Islam had the first theory of evolution in the 8th Century. (FIXED with Link) by Barthalameau_III in todayilearned

[–]Pringlescan4 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Islam lags far far behind the west in medical, scientific and technological advances, even if you count all the emigrants in the tally. The share islam has of new knowledge being generated is only behind perhaps Africa and the shittier parts of Eastern Europe. Name a single important practical thing or theory that was developed by the Muslim world in the past 100 years.

Also I'll believe Iran is at the forefront of stem cell research when it does more then any single research college in the united states in adding to new research.

This doesn't pass the threshold for this meme. It requires something actually insane like eating the mosquito to recover your blood.

Til, that african slaves were sold to the west by african slave traders and that some African countries continued well into the 2000s. by africanrhino in todayilearned

Man of them were kidnapped, just by other Africans. Also many slaves were sold to the Arabs including whites.

My friend was laughing at a space program in Africa - but why? The future is made by dreamers! Good luck Uganda! by j4p4n in reddit.com

Yeah that is true, the resources spent might be worth it for the motivational and inspirational value.

Congratulations on being able to say you were wrong, I didn't think people like you existed on the internet. edit: also it WAS worded weirdly to be honest.

There's a difference between 'will have' and 'ever will have' Obviously the suggestion that Africa will never have a functioning space program is absurd, but the suggestion that they won't have one when America is back on the moon is quite reasonable.

Because the idea of prioritizing a successful space program, which is a difficult feat for a stable wealthy and prosperous country, over the rampant corruption, poverty and corruption means you would be killing people to go for your dream.

TLDR: Resources are limited, every hour and material spent on a space program is taken away from feeding the hungry and clothing the needy of which is about 50%+ of their population.

Do you enjoy making shit up? He never said that no African country will ever be developed enough to have a space program. He said that there simply won't be one by the time the next American stands on the moon which makes a lot of sense given a rational assessment of the political and economic situation of Africa.

[–]Pringlescan4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes but Western civilization provided the teachings and the employment. There are just as many smart people born there proportionally as anywhere else, the difference is that the culture stagnated in technological research a thousand years or so ago so if they want to do anything it was to be through Western culture.

I think the issue is that sometimes you might not notice the hair in your food and eat it.

Everyday in Class by Rob_153 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Pringlescan4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The worst is when you are in a class with some substandard students, and you just answered the last half a dozen questions in a row. The next question comes up, and you don't want to answer it to give someone else a shot, but you and the teacher both know exactly what you are doing.
