DAE take solace in the 'belief' that Christianity will eventually become as rare as paganism. | I believe we are relatively close to the end of Christianity and that atheism will be the next 'age'.

DAE remember the days when looking up a word involved using a dictionary? | I remember asking my dad all the time what a word means as a child, and he'd always say the dreaded, "Look it up," and hand me a dictionary.

Geek Love: Activities so I can relate to my boyfriend... | I've been dating my boyfriend for roughly 8 months. He is a geek - I mean this in a completely non-derogatory way.

/r/Science on the role of Philosophers in Science | Any thoughts on this? I tried reading through the comments to get an idea of a consensus but I had a difficult time.

Is there anybody I can appeal to for censorship of free speech and abuse of mod powers? | This post here mod on the forum can result in a swift ban without warning.

Is it crucial to get a decent job by a certain age, or is that a thing of the past? | Hey all,

DAE Do crazy strange things in those few minutes where you're still hazy from waking up? | In the past, I've found myself doing this super-smooth slither maneuver that brings me from the bed, to the alarm clock, and back to the bed in such a way that I am unable to be so graceful and fluid while fully awake.
I had an alarm clock that talked, and sometimes I would swear it would say things it was not program... |

LOL. |
Favorite Call of Cthulhu scenario. | Hey Rpgers!
I'm running a Call of Cthulhu game and i'd like to ask you:

Do you ever wonder what alien genitals look like in the star trek universe? | The thought has crossed my mind. Google image search for "klingon penis" brought up some weird things, like this picture of a klingon george dubya:
Lets discuss. |
Marketing: Niche targeting, do you do it? | I'm curious as to what your opinions are on the matter. I've seen niche marketing succeed a couple of times with other local web dev / des shops.
For example, a friend of a friend does web des more or less exclusively for book stores in the New England area. Presumably he loves reading, his father owns a bookstore a... |
So, Reddit: it's my birthday... | ...and I thought I'd tell you that you guys are, in simple terms, awesome. Happy palindrome day for all of you, regardless of the date of your birth! |
