I think "break fast" is one of those things you don't know until you do. You can know what a word means without guessing its etymology.

Unlike Elon, I feel like Steve Jobs legitimately had skills. Of course, it's completely despicable of him to scoop more than 10x the profit compared to Woz in that example. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Jobs was a talented asshole, but Elon is just a no-talent asshole.

Listen up, computer, I'm typing NOW. Not whenever you get around to polling the USB device. Sheesh.

Bro, the reason the school calls them "volunteer hours" is because the places that need help are asking for volunteers. Even though it's mandatory for students, these are hours at a volunteering opportunity. Interacting with the community is part of growing up, and part of their education. It's not slavery.

NotRobert's house has no ceilings nor a roof. Assume his property extends down to the center of the Earth and one light year into space.

It's not transformational if it can quote the original input verbatim, though.

I recall in a high school biology class, a classmate asked whether atoms were alive. The teacher was kind, but perplexed. She went into detail about how cells, which we do consider to be alive, are built out of molecules (not alive), which are built from atoms (not alive), etc. I'm not sure the question asker had ever considered that cells are not the same as atoms 🤔

Like she could have you bend over and she'd put a paper on your back and write on it?

Eh. As much as I want that to be true, there are some people who will never admit they don't know something.

Superman is literally a Christ figure. He's basically a god, he loves humanity, and he constantly sacrifices himself to save us. Naturally, the religious right hates him.

The core of Christianity is internalizing the contradiction of three gods that are actually one. With the axiom that 3 = 1, you can prove anything. This is how you can believe that Jesus taught radical acceptance, but it's okay to hate anyone who's different than you.
