Everyone's circumstances are always different than yours. This is the Internet, not a local forum. If someone says something that's not relevant to you, then there is literally no point in replying, except to argue for arguments sake.

You wouldn't have gotten the rejection letter if you hadn't of followed up.

OH NO! SOMEONE HELP! This silly action parody isn't lore friendly! Stop the press! Summon the guard! Send in the orcs!

So, you hate bikes because fuck being a responsible driver and paying attention?

You can do eighty on a bike? Holy shit get this man or gal a medal!

Why do folks like you bother replying? If you have a 25 mile commute, clearly the comment was not aimed at you. If you live in the desert or a frozen tundra, no one is expecting you to pedal to work. If you live in the caldera of a volcano, no one will judge you for helicoptering home. If you don't have legs, nobody…

I agree that the study needs a lot more repetition and greater sample sizes before anything conclusive could be drawn from it. They shouldn't be drawing conclusions from any dataset so tiny, merely making observations. Still, I think animal instinct is a strong influencer in a lot of human behaviors and that it's a…

All good learning is essentially behavioral conditioning. At any rate, people are animals. All omnivores use their front teeth for cutting and tearing, and their back ones for slow grinding. One of which is a decidedly more active and aggressive action than the other. I see the same behavior detailed in the article…

Oh no. They take loss prevention seriously. When I worked there, I forgot to pay for a bottle of water because I got sidelined by an old friend on the way to the check out. Took my break standing there chatting, sipping on my drink,time went up, went back to work. Four hours later, I've been suspended 'pending…

Even if it was a Walmart Supercenter in a town of 9,000 people? :P Actually, I think at that time (This was years ago, mind you) they might not have built the super center yet.

It's really more-like thirty cents. I did the math when they gave us one in the office. Which nobody used.

Wanna sandwhich? It's called you get the flour, some yeast, and I'll head out back and gut the chicken.

You can't seriously believe that anyone seeing this is thinking "Oh, great. I can cut up their food and now I don't have to parent anymore".

This is just my thoughts, but I'd imagine it comes down to something like this. Imagine the human as an animal, hunting and gathering and wotnot. If you were tearing bite sized bits off with your hand, chances are you were gathering. You were eating a meal that didn't fight back. Where as the use of the front teeth…

Since dogs and children learn in the same ways, I'd guess gentle correction and positive reinforcement. And probably explaining your reasoning too. Kids like to be treated like adults. I picked that bit up as a Sunday School teacher way back in yesteryear.

Kids learn these things? I'm still not sure what parts of food I'm supposed to eat. Those green things on straberries? Straight into my smoothie.

If you think Mommy feeding a random bit of food, or even those annoying grazers have any real effects on the cost of food, you've never worked in loss prevention for one of those stores. I worked -with- loss prevention at Walmart ages ago. The biggest loss of product seems to come in equal parts from two places:…

I never watched Star Wars growing up. When I did finally watch it, I was an adult, the movie was spoiled, and it was fairly boring since I knew every event that was going to happen. (Thanks, pop culture. How I managed to start Doctor Who 4 years ago unspoiled is a mystery) Why is it then, that I care about this…

You're right, just nearly all of it.

That's why you write a constitution to protect the minority.
