Taxes. What's what they're for. 1) pay according to your means, receive according to your needs. 2) pay a fixed price in advance so that you don't get ruined by the wildly unpredictable cost of an accident. It's basic solidarity.
I grew up poor, taxes paid for my health and education. Now I have a PhD, a job, and I'm happy to be able to pay taxes. I'm giving back, and still have a comfortable life.

I've got a solution to the energy crisis and the climate-change: build a shell of solar panels around a star. Surely, since nobody has done it, it must be because of a conspiracy, not because it's freaking hard.

Are you implying that the USA aren't the whole world? How anti-patriotic of you.

A mildly-effective painkiller isn't a cure. I live in the Netherlands where I can buy weed in shops, but we're incurably ill as often as citizens from the USA. It's not weed that saves us, it's health insurance.

Yes. Because government = socialism = eeeeevil. It's obvious, why even think about it?

First: "definitely". Second: repeating ignorant over-generalizing claims doesn't make anyone cool.

Yeah. My hobbies these days are: finally watch "Supernatural", finally play "Skyrim", and create an algebraic model of probability through category theory (abstract maths, for fun). I don't know who Adele is.

Have you ever noticed how other people were weird? They do stuff because they think it sort of makes sense at the time somehow in the context. Most of them are wrong thinking that, but sometimes it's harmless fun.

I've got a friend who's a whore, like, she's a prostitute for a living; I'm cool with that. But she's also a bitch, like, illogical inconsistent and prone to anger; that's terrible.

How does that work? The eyes still can't discriminate between frequencies, so what do the glasses do, if anything at all?

@nickelaz Because in France, we don't consider beliefs as more special than any other statement. If someone says something, and if that something holds scrutiny, then fine. If not, then we laugh about it. Crap is crap, whether religious or not.

Could be the multiplication of exercise and minutes. 100 exercise minutes would then refer to anything between spending 100 minutes doing one exercise, out spending I've minute doing 100 exercises. In the end you've spend the same amount of energy. Still, it's weird af.

I don't even know what he did. I mean, I now he's a musician/singer/something, but I don't even know what genre. I've probably heard something from him, but without knowing it was from him. I was born in 78 so I suppose I should know, I just never cared much about music.

Here's a serious answer to the question: square-cube law. If an adult is twice taller that a kid, then he weighs 2³=8 times more than the kid, but his surface area is only 2²=4 times greater. That means twice the pressure, which is why slides don't work on adults. That explains why adults burn their hands when sliding down a rope. Also why it's more painful to land after jumping down from even moderate heights.

I wonder how (il)legal it is to use someone's image like that without their consent. In this case it's not defamation, just a poor taste joke, so I'm curious.

Or sometimes, for some physiological reason, the girl's vagoo is actually complicated and doesn't react easily. Muscles unable to relax, for example. It's like picking a lock, even when she masturbates.
