If you had to teach a subject in school, what would it be and why?
  • Medical Biology because I'm educated in the field. Runner up would be chemistry. Or brewing, but the only university I know of that has brewing as a degree programme is Heriot watt university and I'm not interested in moving back to Edinburgh.

  • How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way?
  • Many ways. in order from first to last the ones that I remember and qualify as stupid are:

    When I was very young i put a toy into a coal fire, regretted my decision and tried to retrieve the molten plastic.

    I tried to carry a pan of boiling chickpeas over my shoulder and ended up spilling it down my back

    I tried cycling down a steep hill while holding an ice-cream and hurt my nuts on the stem of the handlebars when I had to stop.

    Went down a steep hill on a scooter and stopped on my head (this one required stitches).

    Worked on a boat without a helmet and got slapped in the side of the head with a crane hook.

    Tried jumping over a Wheely bin while rat-arsed and face planted on the pavement.

    There are plenty more accidents that were just shitty luck, but these are the avoidable ones.

    Edit: I also managed to slice open my finger with a kitchen knife while removing the seed from a mango.

  • Is It Time for Europe to Ditch America?
  • Just use conventional weaponry to flatten Moscow and st Petersburg. Russia is those two cities if they fall the country disintergrates with them. Either way when you're dealing with the Russians, anything less than taking out your dick and beating them to death with it won't be respected.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?
  • Well if you took a page out of France's playbook it wouldn't necessarily get to this point. At the slightest suggestion that they might have to work a bit extra or pay a bit more, they're out burning cars and building guillotines. As it should be.

    Edit: also educating people on safe firearms use as a condition of ownership of a firearm actually goes a long way to reducing the deaths. Also guns aren't the only way of getting rid of people. Just ask the IRA.

  • Anon's strict mom
  • I haven't really seen it since the beginning of mørketid. It's been really cloudy until today. But it tends to be visible from within the city quite often. I might be without a car soon anyway. The eu control is coming up and last time it cost almost a whole months paycheck to fix the piece of shit.

  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?
  • Ok another thing people haven't really touched on is government restrictions on dangerous shit generally. I'm not just talking about guns, but also cars. When I was in the states I saw so many car accidents and bits of car on the road. That doesn't need to happen. It turns out that if you have proper driving tests and mandatory classes, people don't crash as much. Same with guns though. Owning a gun is fine if you learn how to properly use and store it.

  • My 3 year old has taken up parkour. How do I keep her from killing herself?

    So my three year old has, since she was little, been really into jumping. I try to warn her that she could seriously injure herself, but this hasn't happened yet so she doesn't think I'm serious. But she jumps over and off anything. Sisters bunk bed to the armchair 2 meters away? No problem. Bunk bed to the floor? Sticks the landing every time. I swear my partner must have cheated on me with a f##king spider monkey.

    How do I convince her to not do the jumps that could break her ankle if she lands wrong? I'm not getting through to her. I'm happy she is physically active, but she's taking the piss.
