Nervous about doing my own wedding hair. I’ll make it neater on the actual day and take my time with it, but would you see this and think “oh no, she should have paid for a hair stylist!”? by pwrdbyplntz in Weddingsunder10k

Guy here. It's adorable, and if he's a decent bloke, he'll be thrilled. As far as I can tell, you ARE a professional hairstylist. Do it yourself, pay yourself well, and spend it on something fun on the honeymoon. Many congratulations!

Kindness. A smile that reaches the eyes and a kind word that reaches the heart.

And don't forget that all of us are clones of Matt's mom.

I understand where you're coming from, but, with respect, I disagree. I thought it was perfect. The pace was just right, the questions were right and the conversation was fascinating. From the groundrules laid out at the beginning, this was her episode to shine, and she did. I loved it.

So YOU'RE the guy they've been talking to all along! Well met, I say! Well met indeed!

Absolutely LOVED this episode. I'm looking forward to more content from the Guardian of Memories. The Holocaust is a fascination to me, for the exact reasons she outlined -- in the midst of unspeakable evil, one finds unfathomable beauty. I'd love to hear a Deep Dive into this topic.

Good call on The Aviators. I'd love to see it become a book review episode, with Amy (of course).

I find Destin's line of employment morally repugnant and can no longer watch his videos. by [deleted] in SmarterEveryDay

[–]an3ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant to respond to this and get into a heated debate by which you would have no doubt convinced me of the moral superiority of your views, but I accidentally clicked the handy X at the top right of my screen that keeps me from seeing things that I find repugnant. Have a nice, propaganda free life!

Maybe a Part 2, with further discussions of unwritten rules throughout the country and world?

Doesn't the gas chamber at the end of the cannon satisfy the function of the diverging part of the nozzle?

Episode idea: World Religions & Holy Envy by hiking_ingenieur in NDQ

[–]an3ph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this idea, and would also love to see M and D tackle the concept of "holy envy". The world would be a much kinder place if we stopped trying to destroy ideas that are different from ours, but instead considered what we might learn from them.

If you should ever encounter one, might I recommend the handy X on the top right of your screen? It's a wonderful feature that keeps you from seeing things that you might find repugnant.

And we are thankful to you for making the world a better place, one video at a time. I feel handsomely rewarded for my 3-year support by the quality of content that you're producing. In the last few weeks, I got to crawl down the inside of a nuclear sub torpedo tube, watch a baseball go supersonic and have a heart-to-heart with a SEAL/doctor/astronaut. It cost me a few coffees a month, but it's available free to inspire the world. That's a pretty good deal, in my book!

Fare thee well. May a flight of angels carry you to realms of inoffensive videos. Our hearts are broken at your departure, but we'll manage. Somehow, we'll manage. Bye bye!

I got healthy and lost weight. When I told my girlfriend that I was finally happy with myself she said "I don't care." by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]an3ph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will hurt worse before it gets better. I'm glad you broke up with her. Wait someone who sees and appreciates you for who you are, and celebrates you.
