YBI.

I do not believe you did an objectively wrong thing when discarding your human coworker"s concoction. However, it is a fact that you do not understand their culture, you admitted so yourself. It is therefore illogical to take any action regarding his lunch without his consent. In addition, humans are emotional creatures, and may not react favorably to your intrusions, no matter how logical they may be.

The logical thing to have done would have been to raise this issue to your coworker once you noticed it, taking with you your evidence that it would pose a health hazard to him and to the crew. Tossing it without his consent should be your last resort to protect the crew's health.

I also think that when I see people of that age married or with kids. But I think it's just because of our different life experiences.

I opted to enroll in a PhD right after graduating and so, at 30, I still feel like my life isn't at a point when I can start thinking about kids or marriage. But I know a lot of people enter relatively stable jobs as soon as they graduate university (or high school, although in my circles everyone went to university - it's not as expensive as in the US here). I can understand people in that position starting to think about family earlier than me.

I want to see your multitude of tab add-ons. I'm always looking for ways to improve my experience but I never even considered messing with tabs and now I wonder what I'm missing out on!

To me, "gif" just looks like "gift" without the final "t", which is why I pronounce it exactly the same until the t

I just want you to know this is one of the most beautiful comments I've ever read, and it came from a random comment section from an ok comic strip. So much so that I upvoted it once I saw it and came back hours later just to save it.

I did not read all of this yet. But I always agreed with you on that housing as an investment was the crux of the problem, I just never knew exactly how to tackle it. Your write-up is great, and even if there are many issues that could arise from some of the implementation ideas, it's an amazing beginning to a conversation we should have been having for at least decades.

Thank you very much! I will save this comment to come back to often.

Can I take this opportunity to ask what the hell "adopting" a book means?

Were there Duolingo speedrunning communities in other websites like Reddit and Twitter, or is this something you're trying to get off the ground?

Adding to this comment: Science is fundamentally agnostic. You can even go so far as to say that the existence of God or a higher power is the one question which is forever doomed to be unanswerable by science and logic, almost by definition of God.

Of course, specific parts of the mythos of specific religions can and have been contradicted by science. But the main question of whether or not a higher power exists remains and will forever remain unanswerable.

Laser is no longer an acronym. It's now an anacronym, which means it's its own word (despite originally being an acronym)
