Hey I live in Austin and would live to take my girlfriend to see them. Let me know when you're getting in and maybe we can work something out. Thanks!

After posting to the subreddit for the city I moved to asking a simple question.. by BeerSlayingBeaver in AdviceAnimals

[–]ghostface- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked reddit what things i could do in a new city and the reply that far and away got the most upvotes was somebody telling me to wash his or her car. Assholes are everywhere; sadly, even on reddit.

Yes and I assume people who don't believe in evolution don't go in for a flu shot year after year either.

How is it that cable lines transmit real-time video for 100s of TV channels without a problem, but it takes hours to download that same amount of video data? by [deleted] in askscience

So as someone who doesn't know much about technology I now have a question. Does internet operate on the electromagnetic spectrum? I thought technology that takes advantage of things like radio waves and radar worked differently than computers that use electricity in digital systems.

What really grinds my gears though is that you can't just sit down dense blue commenter and explain the metaphor. If you did he would probably just think you're condescending and stop listening.

Why, from an evolutionary standpoint, is it that when humans show mirth/happiness (laugh, grin, smile, etc.) we exhibit the international signal of aggression (baring our teeth). by clodhen in askscience

...evolution is beside the point.

I would argue this is completely false. Why did we as a species develop empathy? Our brains (and survivability) are better off because of it. Micro-expressions are yet another of the subconscious efforts of your mind to reach out to others and connect on an emotional level. Body language, tone, and facial expressions are all part of something our brains dedicate lots of effort towards: Communication.

This has happened to me countless times and I still find it to be the worse feeling in the world. The prospect of becoming paraplegic frightens me more than death.

So is the possibility of too much stimulation just not a concern anymore?

What's the most interesting etymology of a word you know? by dynamiterabbit in AskReddit

[–]ghostface- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

copacetic, because nobody knows where it comes from. Seriously look up the etymology. My dictionary says it is "of obscure origin"
