I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't say anything about you or women in general. I said there are women out there who have problematic attitudes toward men, which there are, who find their own sons cause for major attitude adjustment, which they do. And that there are non nerdy men who undergo the same process with…

Frankly I think this phenomenon is very old and entirely natural. Can you honestly say that women have not had a similar normalising experience through their sons? How many women who spent every lunch break for years stabbing men in the back, casually or bitterly, or had abusive fathers, or an unfortunate dating…

Someone tell this fool the Chinese already "caught up" auto/air or any manufacturing you care to name, and most other things besides, and now they've "caught up" space exploration. Since they're big on sovereign independence they had to do it at some point for the expertise, unless this chap is arguing they should…

The real location, history and reason for war of the Falkland Islands was all even more astoundingly ridiculous.

Men perform the same exhausting self analysis.

I thought equality with straight couples was the thing now. Instead we have separate icons. Surely "married" without qualifiers was what we wanted? Unless there was an icon before and it was a man and woman, in which case carry on.

What she does for a living may not have anything to do with that. In fact considering the vast majority of the world's employees do not work as astronauts or preventing nuclear proliferation or similar life changing work I'm going to go ahead and tell you a persons work usually has little to do with "ambitions,…

Because it doesn't matter. This whole commentariat has been hilarious and horribly depressing to me. It doesn't matter. What a person does or earns does not define them. What matters is : do you like them and do they like you. That's not romantic sentiment, it's fact. I don't care a jot what a woman does for a living…

I interpreted him to mean do we agree 3 billion years in the 4.6 billion year lifespan of a planet is "quick". Which I do not. A billion years is actually a long time in any context, even cosmological. The universe itself is only around 14 billion years old. So in fact you could say it took over one fifth the time the…

I suffered from pinworm infection throughout my teens and before, because my parents were shit and never believed anything I ever said was wrong with me, though I only knew what they were toward the end. It's annoying and disconcerting. The only way to resolve the nightly irritation on their emergence was to spend 20…

That is a story. I'd be interested to hear how you got to that point in the first place. How and why you met, wooed and married a woman who turned out to disappoint you so much intellectually.

Pleasant.

Bad news also: she was seeing this ex the whole time. He didn't pop up, and she didn't say yes, out the blue. Look at it this way: that whole thing could've plagued you and gone up in your face after you were married. Now, in a year when you bought a house, in five years when you had kids. You dodged a bullet. You're…

In related news, I'm terrible at impressions even of fellow countrymen. I'm also really bad at discerning birdsongs. I'm sure it's all the same brain lobe.

Woah woah woah. If you're going to try to encourage a realisation that people can criticise because you're a jerk not because they're jealous, then you threaten the entire modern liberal social structure that one should do what one wants regardless of what others say and everyone is special and amazing; if you're not…

I could be wrong but I seem to recall from somewhere that it involves being genuinely afraid of drowning in it. Like it'll go in your mouth and fill your lungs even if it's a cup or a puddle.

It's about minimising casualties. Launch so many at them so fast they don't have time to equally blanket you and maybe some populated areas will make it. It's a monumentally stupid and disgusting idea but that was the thinking. That's why ICBM's were never the sole tactic, and they concentrated on foreign bases and…

I believe you're right. So he was one of the rare real ones. It's not often people go on murder rampages, and it's less often still they have a history of trolling. And; he was indistinguishable from anyone else beforehand, and even now post-rampage he's reputedly urbane and charming. Not someone you'd avoid or who…

No I don't buy it. I don't buy your entire premise. I've known and been a part of internet communities since before some people here were born. I've met people I would happily punch over the internet, if someone invented that, who've been perfectly normal, witty in fact, in real life. 75% of the time, "trolling" -…
