  • am i racist? anglophobic?

  • Well, you're being obnoxious in a way that targets a particular ethnic group, but it's a group that isn't really victimized, or sensitive about it, so no one much cares.

    The more useful questions to ask yourself are, how funny is that after the first handful of times to anyone older than 13, and is that really the kind of dynamic you want to cultivate with your gf?

  • Why do I find this sound relaxing? Does anyone else see it?

    Jump

  • You find that voice saying "ah, sir?..." in a loop relaxing? I don't get that.

    I was expecting this to be the actual sound of a bullock snoring, which I'd expect be a rhythmic, borderline white noise type sound, which I could see being relaxing.

  • Why do people say they hope something doesn't get made simply because they personally don't have interest in it while others do?

    Jump

  • I have no opinion on your examples, but when people think something will be shit--not just not-to-their-taste, but actually bad, they would prefer not to see it happen. I can't speak for everyone, but IMO there is far too much shit in the world already, and it just drags down the common denomenator, because people get used to shit and never learn to expect something better.

  • For some relatively economical and easy smokey meat, make kahlua pork. You just throw a pork butt into a slow cooker / crockpot with salt and liquid smoke and let it cook all day.

    Is it worth starting a romantic relationship with a sociopath?

    Jump

  • There aren't enough non-toxic traits or personality types that you haven't yet experienced in a relationship?

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • This is a big problem with our modern world. A tendency to not believe that which is relatively easy to describe and quantify. This problem gets worse as our tools and mechanization give us more complete control over things.

  • A good manager is skilled. Unfortunately this is a rarity.

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • You can develop a high level of skill at anything, is more a question of how important that is. In particular, you might say how important that is to people doing the hiring. It is clear for many jobs, they don't care. Some minimum wage jobs they will virtually take anyone with a pulse.

    With white collar jobs it is a little more complicated. Project management is software is a position where i've often seen people with absolutely no skill helpful to the job. They may have needed a certain amount of political skill, or ass-kissing skill, or knowing how to say the right things, sling buzz words kind of skill. Skills that don't actually help be effective at the job itself.

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • White collar and blue collar is orthogonal to skill. Their are jobs in both categories that a monkey could do, and other jobs that take years and years of skill development to do well.

  • In history we used to see fairies etc. But now we don't. Are we insane?

    Jump

  • What "in history" are your taking about? I'm not aware of historical documents reporting the existance of fairies. I don't think you find something like this is the writings of ancient Greek historians like Herodotus. Sometimes they report fanciful things about far away places where they are reporting stories they didn't themselves witness, like say tribes of dog-headed people, but you don't see the same thing when they report goings on they witnessed.

    And wouldn't you expect there to be fossils or other remains? Do your see faeries in the pictures left by the ancient Greeks, Romans, or Egyptians?
