When did you have your best q&a website experience?

Do you think that MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) can effectively replace a traditional in-person learning experience for someone who cannot afford the costs of attending university?

[09-29-19]

No.

(I'm not familiar with the specifics of MOOC . Online learning in general cannot replace the experience, but given lots of subjects it might be enough for some people).

What do you think is the greatest invention ever made?

Al Gore-yay or nay?

[09-29-19]

So an up/down vote on his existence? I don't care enough for that. He was a politician so that's pretty awful. Then he made movies, documentaries or science fiction? maybe both. Unlike the politics, I didn't have to bother with those, so there's that. I see no reason to kill him. I see no reason to help him.

In relationships, is possessiveness good or bad?

[09-28-19]

Yes.

If you don't really care what the other person does, are you really in a relationship?

Obviously the downside, is when they're obsessed with every single thing you do.

Do you like Bill Gates?

[09-28-19]

Don't know him.

He has lots of influence on the world. I think he's pushed good things and bad. Hopefully more of the former. Trying to make the world a better place is pretty likable (assuming the case).

Does everything that we do have to do something with sex?

[09-22-19]

Everything? no. Lots, maybe most things? Yeah. Life → survive then reproduce.

How do you react to charity or religious people trying to talk to in public and at your doorstep?

[09-22-19]

Try to be nice without appearing receptive, assuming I can't avoid them outright.

What do you think is the most fitting punishment (if any) for false-rape accusers?

[09-22-19]

idk

( Not concerned with 'fitting' as much as effective. Either way difficult to measure that as well. People's emotions are high here, which makes it difficult to be objective. Obviously the balance needs to be struck where victims aren't afraid to come forward, but liars are. There at least needs to be some sort of common knowledge that bad things can happen to you. Now the thing floating about is "all women should be believed" … no way that could lead to anything bad. )

How comes that many lesbians are more masculine than the average woman in terms of their looks and behavior?

[09-22-19]

I have a great many ideas on this. Then I'm going to tell you about the black experience, as well as my thoughts on Asians and trans peoples … 😏🙄 …or more succinctly youtu.be/jWI8w9kLAks .

Are you afraid of climate change?

[09-21-19]

Sure. I don't like hot weather. I hope it doesn't happen / isn't so bad. … 🤷‍♂️😐

Would you ever try to steal someone else's man or woman?

[09-19-19]

Ever? Sure. There needs to be some reason it's not a terrible idea. If they can be stolen what's the point in stealing?

Is the word retard seen as bad as the word nigger? Are there other words in english that are as bad or almost as bad as these words?

[09-17-19]

Not at the moment.

The n-word is usually treated as worse than everything (unless you're of an appropriate African American lineage). But offense is a national sport, lower point values can be assessed for other slurs. Words and their point values are dynamic. Though currently the most values go up.
