    Is Anyone Else Annoyed By The Sound Of Children?

    Co-sleeping with infants has been the norm for millennia. There are even special neural pathways in a new mother's brain that allow her to unconsciously detect things like the child's body temperature, breathing rate, heartbeat, and more while sleeping. The mother will then unconciously adjust...

    Is Anyone Else Annoyed By The Sound Of Children?

    Crying tantrums are a little distressing, but normal kid sounds actually relax me. For coughing? Most kids cough less than NPCs in Skyrim, but they weren't too annoying either. What human sounds do I find irritating? There's a forceful, disinhibited quality some adult men's voices take on when...

    Debate me!

    Although my country of residence seems to have suddenly remembered this debate after neglecting it for about it for a decade, public education has in fact been controversial throughout nearly its entire history. The debate about what children need to learn and when has always been a complex...

    I put a statuette of Mercury the messenger god on my bookshelf and drink a quart of coffee in praise of the hermetic seal.

    Acceleration and Reality

    Humans have multiple senses of time. Your sense of passing time (associated with the executive functions in the front of your brain) is different than your sense of timing (associated with body movement at the back of the brain near the stem), and both are separate from memory (near the center...

    Need help on making a prideful, vulgar, shit-talking MC likable

    I don't think there's much more you can do to the MC himself to make him likeable here. What he needs is a morality chain; someone whose presence in his life stops him from going too far, stops him from descending into outright villainy. He already has siblings, right? Are any of them...

    Which is more interesting in a wilderness survival story in the topic of preparing for winter, and why? (See poll for choices)

    Make it a long (5+ months) and dark (daylight <4hrs) and but mild in temperature winter. Have a constant sleety drizzle with temperatures averaging 0~2C, so that there is no sunshine till spring and everything is wet and cold and slippery. This way, your protagonist will have to go out in the...

    I'm giving in

    Make sure your fetish doesn't break any laws in your country of residence first. For example, some places still have capital punishment for "buggery". Other places, where your fetish might technically be legal, could still provoke a local lynching mob.

    Pizza

    I like the combination of pineapple, anchovies, and eggs. On the other hand, I am sensitive to hot peppers, so I would have to pick off any jalapenos or banana peppers.

    Geniuses, talents, prodigies, and etc(just a rant)

    In my personal experience, "Genius", "smart," and "talented" are mostly just words we use to hold certain people to stricter standards than normal. We use them while we insult people with unreasonable expectations placed on them for behaving merely normal. Things like "Because you are smart, I...

    What's The Reason For Your System?

    It's not a 'system' so much as just how most mages tend to make sense of the complex information that results from an appraisal divination. Over time, appraisal rituals come to include the orthodox method of returning the results in readable format, and the people gradually started to believe in...

    Are they overreacting or i am underreacting?

    Well, it doesn't make any difference to me if someone I never knew died immediately after I was born. But if that stranger was my parents' child... I would be quite upset to find out my parents were excluding me from such an important event in their lives.

    Why do people leave reviews after reading just the first chapter?

    They may be like me, and read the whole thing without logging in. I sometimes log in to leave a review, but since I read as a lurker it only shows that I have read one chapter.

    What do you tell yourself before making bad decisions?

    It's hard to focus. Maybe I should have tried harder to go back to sleep when I woke up at 2:30am this morning.

    How does everyone here drink that hot morning bean juice? I prefer a cold mix of 30% coffee 70% milk.

    How do you not catch the stupid?

    Don't worry, its not contagious. You can't even 'catch' stupid in the first place. Well I suppose there is age related dementia, and alcohol is known to rather severely impair cognition...
