  • There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big


  • No you’re good, I’m sure I wasn’t being all that kind in my word choice last night either. Yeah I suppose some people of eastern descent maybe don’t get facial hair as much. Most everyone I meet that says they can’t grow a beard is because they say it comes in bloches or patchy. Same happens with arm hair and I think there are some that don’t grow hair in the groin area as well but I think that is tied to the way hormones act in their body? Peoples bodies do strange things. When I was 16 I got into my first real relationship with a girl who was 17. She had this thing where when she got horny her upper lip would turn a deep red color. For 1 it was a great help for a young man trying to figure out a relationship, but on the opposite side, it was real awkward when I found out it was genetic and her mother/step father knew exactly what was going on when they saw her. (Apparently it happens to her mother as well)


  • Is it a feature you can disable on the iPad? I never considered that kids would be doing that. My spelling was never great but I just always chalked it up to the way my brain worked. Even when I spent a couple years in college spending most of my free time reading books both to myself and our loud to my partner I still didn’t remember how certain words were spelt because I often didn’t write them. If I never wrote them as you are saying I imagine it would have been much worse.


  • “Not all men even grow beards” is the point, it is their preference (with cultural pressures) but ultimately it is their choice. To say someone choosing to shave makes them child like when you are talking in the context of sexual attraction (the post is about fucking) it means you are directly tying the act to being sexually attracted to children.

    Being attacked to someone who shaves their arm pits/chest/legs/face/back/groin/ass is all preferences, saying it is child-like for one and not another is hypocritical.

    As for hygiene, that’s opinionated, but if you want to purchase shaving cream or a razor at the store, you go to the hygiene section. Shaving will reduce smell/bacteria, but can also have other effects like increasing your odds of contracting skin to skin prone STIs.

    My stance is to enjoy what you enjoy and don’t judge others for what they enjoy. I don’t know why people pee on each other, but if that’s what consensual adults do in their spare time, that’s up to them.


  • I was being civil. Pedophiles like children, children don’t have facial hair. That’s a post puberty development. Anyone anti-beard is anti adults puberty hair development like post puberty shaving of bushes. So either you recognize that pro bush is a preference, or you should believe everyone anti beard is a pedophile. You cannot have one without the other. They are both post-pubeseant hair


  • Yes it absolutely is if you define people who prefer shaved orphaces as preferring child-like features. A cannot be true, without B being not true. Either people who like people without shaved orphaces is child like attraction, or people liking people with shaved orphaces is child like attraction, they are absolutely they exact same. Both come from puberty grown hair.




  • Yeah space is the issue. I personally had 13 chickens and just reduced the size yesterday to 7 because egg production was to high and good laying hens are worth more alive than butchering. Also, I love the boogers so I couldn’t eat them. The amount of space it takes to have a garden that could sustain 2 people is around 4 acres really. Unpractical for most people. Also impossible to have animals in that area without containing them to tiny areas many wouldn’t agree with. Self sufficiency is rough in the confines we practice most places… But expanding areas only hurts society in other ways. (Drive times, resource usage, etc)

    I get what you mean though.



  • I was thinking if you had a set voltage and resistance you could hold a certain rpm for the motor going to the gears. Then if you needed to adjust it you could stop the current by dialing down the voltage or possibly increase the analog dial to increase the voltage and make the clocks motors all spin faster until you reached the desired time and dial it back to standard voltage. But you would have loss over distance in the wire unless you made them all the max length needed, and coiled them to make them all the “same length” from dial to clock.


  • I had a couple teachers try to spend a single class about note taking but I think note taking is different for everyone, much like learning styles. Telling someone to skip a,b, and ,c and just write d because they view it as the important information only works for people who think exactly how they think. So I would try something like that and would end up with.

    1974 - congress - didn’t pass till 1980.

    That means nothing to someone unless they know more context, which the context clues in my experience are tied to someone’s individual thought processes. In this case it would be mentions of maybe reconciliation process, simple majority, and budget. But for others it could be other things.


  • At what point is it not just a digital clock with an analog interface if it has the ability to receive information digitally and perform tasks off of it. (I assume increase/decrease voltage to the motor).

    Unless maybe that’s how they do it, put all the clocks on an individual power source, then manipulate the current to increase/decrease the speed of the motors so they all move synchronized… Idk, cool concept though. Not sure how you would overcome the loss in varying distance of the clocks though… it’s possible but a lot of planning



  • If I’m honest with myself my handwriting was always shit. If I was writing you a letter you’d be able to read it, but taking notes in college was all but useless for me. The speed at which you would have to write left me unable to find any of it legible so I was able to take in more information by just sitting down and listening/watching instead of scrambling to figure out what they were talking about now after I wrote down whatever I thought was important prior to that. Professors write fast because they do it all the time, and the amount of time it would take me to read then write what they wrote would overlap the time they spent over the next 15 seconds telling you why it was important. If I wrote down why it’s important I’m behind on the next bit of information and scrambling. When a professor posted their notes online so I could review it that way it was so much easier for me. (Makes note taking way easier)



  • As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.

    My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink
