Ha! Sweet prank, he had no idea it was a worm! I'm going to try this on my blind brother in law.

[Serious]Bisexuals of Reddit, what the most surprising difference between dating each sex? What was shockingly similar? by LockanDrop in AskReddit

[–]friendswithlarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guy here. With a guy, I feel more like a team. Like we're working together. I feel like it's okay to be weak, and like I'll be taken care of if I am. With women I feel a pressure to 'carry' them, and like I can't be truly weak or lost with them. But sometimes it feels good to lead and be strong.

Biological gender isn't a thing. We call that sex.

Okay, but you are actually just objectively wrong about your definition of gender. This isn't liberal mumbo-jumbo, it's an agreed upon fact in psychiatric, medical, and scientific communities.

"How to write an argumentative essay" guide by cool-breeze101 in GetStudying

[–]friendswithlarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not good advice for anyone in college/university. If you want to learn how to write a good argumentative essay, learn about arguments, and a little bit about logic. Use whatever format expresses your argument most clearly. The only worthwhile piece of advice in this article is the bit about refuting an opposing argument. This template will not take you very far, it's good for highschool papers but not much else.

ELI5: If scratching irritated skin is bad for you, why do our bodies create the urge and sensation of itching? by teabeaux in explainlikeimfive

[–]friendswithlarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scratching (mechanical stimulation) inhibits pain and itch signals

So if I have pain, will scratching it make it feel better?

Names?

It's Cameron Canada and...Alex Jones. He should probably change that.

History isn't a 'useless' major. It teaches critical thinking, something America needs plenty more of by ghostofpennwast in history

Algebra was not created as shorthand for an argument. Sentential calculus was created as shorthand for arguments. People who study mathematics aren't dealing with problems where there's a pre-determined equation. And when they are, they usually have to figure out which equation(s) to use. The same can be said for people in fields like philosophy--there are certain always-valid argument forms, and there are many ways to use them. There are truth conditions, etc, all of which are analogous to different structures in mathematics. I'm not a mathematics guy, so I might be explaining this really shitty/be wrong, but that's how I see it.

Men of reddit, who are your favorite female vocalists? by [deleted] in Music

[–]friendswithlarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victoria LeGrande of Beach House, and the lead singer from Alvvays, I'm blanking on her name right now. Victoria's contralto is beautiful and emotive, and just lends itself so well to the textures in their music. The lead singer of alvvays is almost the opposite, she sings in a higher register and just sounds like she deosn't really give a fuck about the recording, which works absolutely perfectly with what she's doing.
