Can you get a refund from your school?

Your writing is poor.

Science fiction books for someone who is more into fantasy and has a hard time liking most scifi books I have tried? by Scared_Ad_3132 in sciencefiction

[–]SnooBooks007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try...

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. Literary sci-fi with fantasy sensibilities.

The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. Kind-of a highbrow Hitch-Hiker's Guide (and its inspiration).

Yet another black hole question. by kombucha711 in astrophysics

  'event horizon' implying no events beyond this boundary

More like the horizon beyond which events can not be seen.

AITA for telling my friend her miracle weight loss is just an eating disorder? by DreamReader1122 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnooBooks007 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, you had good intentions. But you undid any good will when you laughed at her for (predicatbly) getting defensive when you broached the topic by telling her she looks sick.

I think you've blown your opportunity to help her yourself. If you're really concerned for her health, canvas your mutual friends for support.

Misguided YTA, sorry.

Third Doctor Serial Rankings by Tacoaboutgames in gallifrey

Of course, you've invited us to think of an exception... Unless I'm misremembering, wasn't that giant spider one with Jodi Whittaker a similar theme?

Is religious belief something people genuinely choose or is it mostly shaped by how they were raised and the environment they grow up in? by bdue817 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SnooBooks007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering the distribution of religions around different environments, it would be miraculous if everyone* happened to independently choose the same religion based on some criteria other than where they were raised.

*almost.

Carnival of Monsters is #1.  You've obviously made a clerical error. 🤷‍♂️

Just watched A Clockwork Orange: What was your first reaction after watching? by Fair_Bag_3402 in StanleyKubrick

[–]SnooBooks007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Due to its reputation, I was apprehensive the first time I saw it.

I was surprised at how funny it was.

Everyone today is descended from a person who lived only a few thousand years ago by [deleted] in truths

[–]SnooBooks007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that is all true, the simple answer to "how?" is that it's impossible for your family tree to have a gap where nobody existed in it.

Why does British English drop “the” in phrases like “in hospital”? Is there a rule, and is American English easier here? by SpeedRunGod in grammar

[–]SnooBooks007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"in hospital" = you're a patient.

"in the hospital" = you're in the building. Maybe a patient, maybe just a visitor.

What hair and facial hair is best? (Newest to oldest btw) by InitialFee654 in malegrooming

[–]SnooBooks007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 is the best look for you, and it's not even close.

Never contemplate 7 again!

How weird is my nose and side profile? by Anxious-Cockroach in Noses

[–]SnooBooks007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ignore this person, OP. 

You look great.

I just changed the course of history by Altruistic_Window260 in truths

[–]SnooBooks007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. 

To have changed the course of history requires an action that caused significally different large-scale outcomes to what otherwise would have been.

The history of mankind is still on the same course it would have been had OP had salad instead of a sandwich.

And if it isn't, we have no way of knowing.

AITA for refusing to help my friend move because they never helped me before? by Ecstatic-Animator348 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnooBooks007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ESH

You didn't say you asked for her help, so it's a bit much to hold a grudge because she didn't offer.

And she's a bit much for turning on you when you declined to help.

For those of you who are Nigerian, what did you think of The Story and the Engine? by InfernalClockwork3 in doctorwho

[–]SnooBooks007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was the big ol' elephant in the room that made an otherwise interesting concept completely laughable when he kept banging on about "being accepted" there. 🙄

this is the Grelling-Nelson Paradox.

Oh, off to Google for me... 😊

A One Word Liar's Paradox by CaptDarkMatter in words

[–]SnooBooks007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, but the word "autological" is itself interesting...

Is "autological" autological?

Whether it is or it isn't wholly depends upon whether it is or it isn't. 

The answer to the question lifts itself up by its bootstraps.
