I sometimes comment with the goal of putting out a thought and having it attacked, or even shot down, by other users. Writing and responding helps me think and flesh out arguments. I don't necessarily believe the thing I'm saying. I adopt the belief during the argument and observe what happens to it under attack. This may sometimes look like I'm trolling, but that's not the intent. If you do that too, just tell me if you want a certain statement of yours attacked to the best of my ability, or whether you'd like me to help flesh out your thought. If you do, I expect you to grant me the same favor. If both sides put up a good fight, the argument can last for days. Not hours at a time, of course; sleeping over stuff or going out for a walk helps a lot. Feel free to PM me so we can keep in touch:)

We are not talking about "most people", we are talking about the guy in the video. Could you tell me what we are arguing about?

Between 40 kg and 50 kg would be my final estimate.

I wasn't talking about 73kg. I thought that was an unusual record weight. I'm guessing around 50kg.

Probably. But you're right, This site here suggests that 160 lbs is a typical weight for a fully grown adult.

Ok. I'm never sure what it means when it says "up to" on Wikipedia. I mean, humans grow up to 8 foot tall, but typically they don't.

I'd rather have them work for a while, to experience the real world, and then get a degree on the side if needed.

I don't like the current system, where students pay ever more money for degrees that are getting ever more useless.

They are deliberately making the system fail to promote their ideas (which won't work).

I agree. I was joking about universities that 1) have socialist professors and 2) increase tuition using government-backed debt. /

Step 1) Get students into a lot of debt. Step 2) Tell them that socialism would solve it. Step 3) Profit, if you're part of the new elite.

A nibble won't kill you. I can imagine a tribe's medicine man experimenting on himself.

Wait, I expect mustard to come in a toothpaste thing. You don't?

No need for the headdesking, Schwäbisch and Swiss-German are closely related Allemanic dialects.

Small correction: it says "for bonus points, smoked salt" :)

Bern, Solothurm?

Well, he might have done it before, and this is the revenge.

Fair enough, but I think they were intentionally being silly. The professionally produced ads on TV get more unintentional laughs from me.

These people are harmless. Defend against what?

How was the service?

Disagree, these people are harmless and will provide a good service. I distrust the businesses with the sleek commercials.

Impressive, but I'm pretty sure somebody upstairs is keeping it straight. There is an insane amount of torque acting on the connection.
