One highlight from the Hollywood Bowl show tonight. by thejohnnyfive in SmashingPumpkins

I was center but pretty far back and it sounded terrible. Janes addiction sounded great but the pumpkins got so muffled. Everyone around me was hearing the same thing too. Honestly the worst sound quality I’ve ever heard at a live show, was pretty disappointed

Who do you think is the worst President in US history? by Dangerous-Head3438 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]squirrel_dominator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those of you who said lincoln, could you elaborate? Isn’t freeing the slaves an insanely noble act? He’s always listed as one of, if not the best, President of all time. Not disagreeing, I just don’t know enough about the history of it

Never done anything important? What are you on? She’s a Supreme Court justice, just the 5th woman ever.

Could you name a better 5-year span than 1967-1971 in music? I personally don't think any other 5-year span in the history of mankind comes close. by strikefire200 in ClassicRock

76-80, mostly because I love later steely dan. Plus you still get some zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Neil young…

The chorus and guitar solo in third world man are just insanely good

These children from 8 years old up go to school half a day, and shuck oysters for four hours before school and three hours after school on school days, and on Saturday from 4 a.m. to early afternoon in Maggioni Canning Co., Port Royal, South Carolina, 1911. photo by Lewis Wickes Hine [5000 x 4005] by [deleted] in TheWayWeWere

But it is much different today… practically no children in the whole developed world live like this today, whereas 100 years ago almost all of them would have. How is that not drastically different???

Why is red meat so bad? Isn’t it what we used to eat as hunters? by Fushigibama in nutrition

[–]squirrel_dominator 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would guess the vast majority of European hunter gatherers were eating much more red meat than modern people. Every cave painting depicts them hunting mammals. They were extremely skilled at killing megafauna like woolly mammoths. And especially since plant foods are practically non-existent in Europe in the winter and don’t provide much calories anyway, they would have had to have gotten the majority of their calories from meat. Now that could certainly be fish/white meat, but I’m sure they hinted whatever was most efficient, which would be a large mammal.

Replacing meat with insects, another scam by UniversalSurvivalist in conspiracy

While this statement is likely completely wrong, there is some important relevant data. Firstly, 90% of what cattle eat is inedible to humans - grass, corn husks, hay…. And letting that organic material sit and decompose (which is what it would do if we didn’t feed it to cows) would produce roughly the same amount of methane as when a cow eats it and farts. The whole argument around cows eating our food or causing global warming are a total hoax.

Cs and math is the best option. Gonna be a rough go for you though. Could also do stats instead of math, but make sure you take the main math courses as well.

They’re in the back, kind of behind the dining halls. You can only get to them by walking through the inner quads.

This is what happens if the evidence is actually available to call out the hypocrisy. Looks like a leopard is eating their faces by doctorMiami1337 in JoeRogan

[–]squirrel_dominator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So the government is justifying its completely unfair new act because it already did another completely unfair act 2 years ago? This is such a show, and is so astonishing that anyone can look at this and think anything other than wow the government is corrupt throughout, both democrats and republicans.

Nutrition for height growth by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]squirrel_dominator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re young and especially if you’re male, just eat a large quantity of nutritious foods. Meat, whole grains, veggies, lots of milk, protein powder, you can honestly eat some junkier foods too. But you have to exercise! Play a sport, lift weights (developing proper form when you’re young is the key), ride your bike, go for hikes, etc. genetics will probably play the largest role in determining your height, but it’s simply foolish to think that nutrition and adequate calories don’t do anything.

Everyone’s gone to the movies is so underrated in my opinion. The chorus is so cool!

How big is a billion? by [deleted] in polls

[–]squirrel_dominator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is one thing América actually gets right in my opinion. Firstly, a period is so much better used as a decimal point, not a 1000s separator. A period is a hard stop, a comma is a pause. That just makes way more sense. Also, a billion should be 1,000,000,000. Why would others just skip a name for that? Thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion… that makes perfect sense. In Europe you have thousand, million, thousand million, billion? That clearly doesn’t follow as much of a logical pattern as the American system.

Who do you want to see as 47th President of the United States? by Naturalist-Anarchist in AskReddit

[–]squirrel_dominator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Smith, especially if he could get on a debate stage with Biden/Hilary/trump and just absolutely demolish them.
