Slaeowulf got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies
I lived with 3 girls at University, none of which knew anything about computers (all arts degrees).
One day, one of them asks me to help her send a fax. I tell her step-by-step, letting her actually do it so she'll know next time and not have to ask me again.
So she puts the thing she wants to send (I think it was a copy of her birth certificate) into the fax machine and (eventually) gets it sent. On my way out she stops me, telling me it hasn't worked. I ask why she thinks that, just in case I've faffed it up, to which she says "It's still here", holding her paper aloft...I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You're overthinking this. Literally nobody cares if you do, and if they do (not to put too fine a point on it) but they can sod right off.

Slaeowulf got a reaction from Frix in EU wants every smartphone and tablet to charge by micro-USB
Absolutely. That, and blindly complain about the EU because they think it's clever to do so. It's that sort of generic pseudo-satire nonsense that really impedes any sort of real conversation being able to take place -.-
I'm glad to see so many people on here get it, but that doesn't stop the stupid comments being any less stupid.

Slaeowulf got a reaction from mrsocksman in Eating meat, your thoughts?
It's a childish stage a lot of kids go through around the mid-teens. Children's minds are very easily swayed; I'm sure if she had been shown the inside of a slaughterhouse she'd say she's never going to eat meat again. It never lasts at that age.
There are many valid points to be made for and against eating meat, but anyone who says that eating meat isn't good for you clearly doesn't understand evolution. Eating too much meat is bad for you, in the same way eating too much of anything is bad for you.
As for the treatment of animals, it depends on how you source your meat. I get mine from the local farm shop or, failing that, the organic/free range sections (the same goes for veg, eggs, milk, etc).
Unfortunately, most of the arguments surrounding vegetarianism/veganism lack any real substances and appeal to emotion over reason. An argument needs to stand up on its own merit.

Slaeowulf got a reaction from Zyphera in How Disgusting is this
Wow, the amount of people that just don't get it. It's SUPPOSED to be insanely over-the-top in every way...ESPECIALLY styling...that's the idea. They don't use the term hyper-car just for the sake of it!!

Slaeowulf got a reaction from Jogostar in Favourite Doctor
Christopher Eccleston by far. I was so disappointed that he only wanted to do one series. He was EXACTLY how I imagined the Doctor.

Slaeowulf got a reaction from Clone Trooper 501 in What is your belief in God? (No racism or flaming please)
What is there to believe in? Evolution is a fact. That's like holding up a pen and saying you don't believe in pens.
Guess I couldn't resist; That one pushed me over the edge
