That's the one you choose? You might not have heard of YKINMKBYKIOK.

No, it's a thing. Google it if you don't believe me.

I’d love to see some “What if” comics in the Avatar universe.

Some potential ideas:

  • “What if Ursa chose to stay?”

  • “What if Lu-Ten survived the siege of Ba Sing Se?”

  • “What if Team Avatar never lost Appa?”

  • “What if Aang finished his training with Guru Pathik?”

Sorry, European here, don't know what that is, but if it is a NASA thing, why isn't it called moontang?

Pretty sure it’s for the baker in case he messes up when separating an egg...he gets an extra. Also in regards to 13 there’s also no 13th floor in most hotels.

That's actually a thing mostly just in America. European hotels and other tall buildings have the floor number 13.

How do the threads on this sub get such a ridiculous amount of comments so regularly? I mean I love that, but this thread is literally about a picture of a load of cabbages lying on the road, and it has 80-something comments as of now. How?

Also, I love you guys for this. I wish this never changes.

You're suppose to wear clothes when doing no gi? Huh, I guess this is why my coach told me to only attend the gi classes.

What do you think of cars? Do you have a vast knowledge on them, or are they just a thing that transports people? Do you think we should get rid of cars, or modify them somehow (for example, to be more friendly to the environment or to fly)?

Tell us all about your thoughts on cars!

No. And I don't make claims about curing random diseases or energy flow either. I believe in pushing the evidence based paradigm and pulling up the profession, regardless of all the knee jerk hate for us.

(I'm not replying to this comment in particular, I just wanted to say this and this was the point I was at.)

I'm sorry you are getting some disrespect in this thread. You stepped up in a hostile thread and are explaining your point of view in a civilized manner. I just wanted to say that I think that's brave, and overall a good thing.

If it's manly, doesn't it attract men?

Obviously the correct answer is karate. Karate is great for learning distance game, and if you train hard, you get to close the distance before they call the police.

Sincerely,
a karateka

The first world has the freedom of press and freedom for individuals to express their thoughts and feelings about all things. This wasn't always so. What do you think, should the government have the right to suppress some information from reaching the public, e.g. news or scientific findings? Why? Does it happen in your country?

What is the value of recreational activities to you? Is relaxing and doing nothing more important than hobbies? Which makes you recharge better, or do you need both?

I'm not an expert, but I did learn this while studying for my minor a couple of months ago. The book I'm referencing is The New Psychology of Leadership by Haslam, if anyone's interested.

It's actually widely recognized that peace time requires a different type of leadership than war time. See: Churchill (IIRC). It can also be applied to corporate world, where crisis situations may benefit from different strategies than when the company is going steady or growing.
