Why would anyone care about what other people have as desktop wallpaper? I don’t even look at my own wallpaper that much

Always fun when you get a string of good carpentry or gardening tips

I miss doing this. I pretty much stopped inviting people over once some housemates reacted really badly to it

Humans like talking about themselves and relating their experiences to those they’re talking to.

I got a graphics card that somehow bricked hard drives. We went through a lot of hard drives before finding out this was the case. I don’t remember specifics

Someone once paid me to poke them with a stick every time I caught them not doing their assignments. Offloading executive functioning onto someone else can work

“Completely different” when the two things are actually very similar

I’m old enough to remember reading about netiquette.

I assume you allow everyone into your home, no questions asked? Maybe you do, but frankly most people at least vet their guests through a combination of social connections and history, and rarely is a place “entirely open” or “entirely closed”. Being excluded from a place because the gatekeepers of that place prefer the company of someone else who doesn’t like you is perfectly normal and ultimately they have to make a choice between you being at an event or their closer friend.

This isn’t to say I agree with every banning or exclusion, but it’s perfectly normal behaviour.

I saw a numbat at the zoo. Very rare, almost extinct, pretty skittish so even if you do go to their exhibit they’re often hiding from everyone

What, uh… what answers were you expecting in here, OP?

I remember my dad slapping me in the face for pronouncing “water” like an American. A bunch of odds and ends like that.

Joke Answer: Star Trek Theme

Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they’re all awaiting trial in jail too.

I feel like I’ve taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.

This is as good as it gets. Everyone struggling to rent, find jobs, finding out that a substantial portion of people around you hate you.

Bees, but only because I’m allergic.

It probably is :( I feel like I’ve burned myself a lot trying to get back to doing things before things are healed

Stand of the tide seems maximum or minimum.

Idk the answer to your question, but it seems like there should be one. Equitide or something.

Does this box with a sliver of bicycle handlebar count as containing a bicycle?

If I was walking in a desert and saw a tortoise on its back, struggling to get up, and I was not helping it

I notice it but don’t care. Also, is wifi “wire fidelity”? I notice and care when my wifi is crap

I feel like you’re talking about multiple things that are only loosely related, some of which could be called honour. It’s varied enough that I wouldn’t call it self-explanatory.

Certainly, I could see someone defining honour as, at some point, the respect of military peers. This still exists with honourable or dishonourable discharge, but reaching back in time one could imagine an honourable knight treating his peasants poorly (and certainly less well than how he treats other knights), to say nothing of women specifically.

Likewise, Japanese culture is said to be an “honour culture” but it could be said to be a particular form of Japanese Machismo that has evolved from the Japanese martial classes (an elite) to the modern proletarian salaryman.

But in common modern usage, I see enough “honourable klingon” memes that use honour as a sort of earnestness and respect amongst everyone.

Not saying any of interpretations are correct (or wholly wrong), just that there’s enough of them that are plausible that saying any of them is self-explanatory is a bit of a reach.

Erm, I’m a bit high
