    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    I got 7/10, but some of the questions are bad. All I remember is what is "skin," but there are many layers of skin, each with different functions, anyway whatever.

    What do you do?

    I look at threads of people describing their opinions in order to compare them to mine.

    When is constructive criticism appropriate?

    You may have a bad impression of me from previous threads, lol. I don't foresee any consequences for the action I mentioned here, and I likely won't be doing it in the same way in the future. But thank you, I'll keep your advice in mind.

    When is constructive criticism appropriate?

    The patients complain about it to the nurses. Plus, in a hospital, the patients don't always know what's going on. They'd only complain about pain, lol. Anyway, this woman won't report me to my director, and people who found out what happened are supportive of me.

    Sony to release "Mastered in 4K" Blu-rays

    Hmm? You only need 2 times 4K resolution to get 8K resolution. Am I reading something wrong here? 4K = 4 times 1080p, 8K = 8 times 1080p (in terms of pixels)

    When is constructive criticism appropriate?

    Thanks for your input everyone. I've come to agree that I should have done it in private. In that case, would you recommend that I ask to speak privately right when I feel the urge to do so, or should I wait until I catch the person later on (maybe even a day or two after). When I do it later...

    When is constructive criticism appropriate?

    Does her work affect the amount of work you need to do? If so, doesn't it eat you inside to know what she's doing nothing and you have to take the load? To be honest, I am like this ideal knight kind of guy, and I don't care if I get in trouble for doing the "right" thing. I like to think...

    When is constructive criticism appropriate?

    Today, one of my co-workers cried when I suggested that she socialize less. She spends so much time talking that it annoys a lot of people, and no one in my workplace has the balls to tell her. This has been going on foryears.Some people have indirectly (as a joke or to a group of people) asked...

    Insomnia

    If the time is so accurate, why don't you try to sleep earlier, or does work get in the way? Also, what is your mental state when you wake up? Are your thoughts running amok or do you have nothing on your mind, just alertness? Do you have any other psychological issues? Trazodone is not...

    Insomnia

    Try meditation, for 10 minutes, 10 minutes before you lay in bed. I wouldn't do it while laying in bed though. Also, try jogging, 10 minutes, about 5 hours before you go to bed. Not sure how noisy your area gets (intermittent cars / motorcycles, etc.?), but you can also try earplugs. It...

    Sorry, I forgot to say that the fetus picture is 20 weeks. Immediately after an earthquake, you would say a wave was formed, but it'd be difficult to see it. A wave pool works similarly to how a tsunami is formed by an earthquake. Also, the sperm, egg, man, and woman are just the foundations for...

    Abortion

    I don't think there will ever be a consensus on when life begins for a zygote. All of the benchmarks for life during fetal development are mostly subjective (but using objective markers like forming a brain, or having developed nerves, or fingers, etc.). For example, I assume there is more of a...

    I got a slim fit CK dress shirt from Ross, and it's definitely my size, but I find that they have an odd amount of extra material in the bicep and upper pectoral area. Are these shirts designed for buff people with large chests and biceps? The material distribution is a lot different than my...

    Abortion

    I stand corrected. I've been using "moral justification" without knowing the whole meaning. I thought moral justification only involves the perspective of external judgments on an individual's actions. Rather, someone can be morally justified if their moral code allows it. Although I misused...

    But it's an anti-feature. It's like a feature (extra) that can't be turned off. Why would anyone do that? It's like having no way to disable a screensaver. To me, it's super troll status. I can't think of something like that on Windows (at least not annoying ones).

    You said that someone can be morally justified if they alone believe they are morally justified. In that statement, there is no reference to a group. Please defend the statement: Which is the crux of this statement:

    Ok, I realize that maybe I wasn't being clear enough. At this point, I need some sort of resolution on that statement you made about what happens "in her own mind." Would you please defend this statement directly? To me, morality is not based on what one individual thinks. Therefore, this...

    No, because in a debate, direction questions are rarely asked. One person presents an argument, then the other person either presents a better one or concedes. Please defend your statement, that's the point of this discussion. Edit: sorry, it seems as though I'm making the rules of this...

    Here's how logic and reason can help in this discussion. 1) I read your post, see below: 2) You said I'm misinterpreting your post, but how much clearer can it be? Here, I'll break it down into one sentence. If mother believes it's ok = it's not immoral. 3) I tried to show that what a...

    Am I implying something about majority rule in my posts? I don't think I said anything about the majority should dictate what's right or wrong. Perhaps you're responding to another person? Anyway, when I say that morals should be judged based on logic and reason from the perspective of the...

    I have to rant. Sometimes Apple just makes me so angry! I got my Macbook Pro, and the first straw was that there was no option to keep the computer on when I closed the lid... There is literally NO option to keep the laptop active when you close the lid. WHAT THE SlkFJ I had to download a...

    Abortion

    I'll get to your other points later. They are all flawed. Look, you're telling me that most pregnant people have abortions thinking that their fetus isn't going to be viable (not talking about viable in the financial sense, duh)? Also, I already said that it doesn't matter what the...

    Kids? or No kids?

    Thanks for sharing. Today, I was thinking about how having children is like introducing more excitement, wonder, and curiosity into the world. As you say, as we grow up, our excitement for new experiences fades; our curiosity dwindles because of the vast knowledge we've accumulated (or maybe...

    What you're missing is that there is no certainty in FUTURE life at all. I could have an undetected heart defect that will kill me tomorrow. It's the same with babies / fetuses / zygotes. You can have a baby that looks fine until it's born to find that its heart valves are all messed up, and it...

    Her reason isn't relevant to when life begins. Maybe I'm missing something in your points, but they just don't seem persuasive. You seem to be implying that if we don't know that the fetus is alive or not, then it's ok to take its life (including the situation when we KNOW there...

    A lot of kids have iPads these days, so having a mini-iPad with phone capabilities isn't so surprising anymore. If it were 2-3 years ago, it'd be a bit more worrying.

    Abortion

    Whether or not there is certainty a zygote WOULD become a human is beside the point. At the time you made the decision, you had no reason to think that the zygote wasn't viable. In the same way, there is no certainty I will be alive tomorrow, but no one would argue that it's wrong (arguable) to...

    I'm not dictating my morality on anyone. I said that some arguments about the morality of certain actions are better than others. You haven't presented a better / more detailed argument. What does a fetus having the ability to be "viable on its own" have to do with life being taken...

    If the baby doesn't have a working cortex, then I don't think anyone would morally repulsed if the mom had anabortion. Again, morality is based on what is known at the time a decision is made. You can add hypothetical developmental anomalies, but the main topic isabortionwhen you know that...

    The simplest (at the same time, logical) argument for when life begins is when the seed has formed. If you define it any other way, you've made the argument a lot more complicated and opinionated. This isn't an Occam's razor type deal, but why complicate the topic when there's a simple yet...
