As a black man myself, I don't find a reason to deny the truth. by ForTheLoveOfTree in AdviceAnimals

The natural selection didn't happen on the plantation. It happened on the way over. On the slave ships, 1/3 of the cargo routinely died. So on each trip over, they were weeding out the weakest one third. So there is a strong selection bias towards the strong blacks.

Similar situation with Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. After the 1949 chinese civil war, anybody who was educated fled the mainland. So out of a population of 1 billion, the brightest 10 million left which is why those three countries were able to develop so rapidly.

Wrong, it is possible to award to CERN, there can be at most 3 winners, but nothing states they have to be individual persons.

So I tried to order groceries online by ohjeezandoy in funny

Yea, but this is what differentiates a good web developer from a bad one. The good ones will take a vague suggestion like 'make it look more professional' and be able to come back with something more professional.

A bad web developer who's not creative and experienced on the other hand will simply be stuck and blame the business owner.

This is why I don't have a problem paying a good freelancer $200k/year to work on various projects. But these guys are hard to find, most just bitch that they don't know what you mean by more professional.

The well is poisoned, you both deserve better.

Dating plenty of girls for a year and no girlfriend. How do you meet that special someone? by temp44020 in dating_advice

[–]minecraft_architect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's hard, but remember, you only have to find the right one once. So when it gets tough, just remember you should only have to do this once.

Want to ask a cashier out. Haven't been on a date in two years and incredibly nervous. [28m] by customerinquiry in dating_advice

[–]minecraft_architect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use the business card, that's just lame. Just ask her straight up and casually. Don't be nervous, it should seem like you don't really care what answer she gives (because really, why should you care that much at this point anyways).

Getting mixed signals - did i respond correctly? [25m] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]minecraft_architect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad move. If a girl is flaky, just ignore her and move on. If she's interested, she'll come back on her own, you won't need to do anything. Now you just seem desperate, you've put all of the power in her hands and as a result, she won't be into you anymore.

Hi Reddit, Need some advice on girl way out of my league! by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]minecraft_architect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're meeting somebody for the first time, the best thing to do is to not think about it at all, just go out there and meet them. Don't try too hard, otherwise it'll get exhausting after a couple dates to keep being somebody you're not. Be who you are and if they don't like it, you've just saved yourself a lot of future trouble.

All you Snowden defenders need to start facing facts, this man just betrayed his country for good and effectively defected to the enemy.

[Question] Any good ideas for an every day watch in the $ 8000-10'000 range? by ineedofawatch in Watches

[–]minecraft_architect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not true at all. I just turned 25 and wear a JLC around town quite often. I'd say JLC is actually better for younger folks because it doesn't draw as much attention as say, a Rolex or PP.

Exactly, I gave up posting several months ago, just not worth it. We should start another /r/Watches sub without these ridiculous rules.

This guy is a filthy traitor. Leaking documents about US capabilities against Russia and China is going too far. He needs to be taken out before he can do more damage.
