MeFi comment: "XKCD is well-written for what it is, but in spite of - no in fact directly BECAUSE of that fact - it is despised by other webcomic writers and their sycophants. See, Randall Munroe has no artistic ability at all. He's catering to the Linux and..." [more]

MeFi comment: "Every single other species has managed to make this work out pretty well for them. No, they haven't. Predators outgrow their prey, hunt them to near-extinction and then die off in DROVES due to starvation. Then the prey booms back thanks to..." [more]

MeTa comment: "Just because something is true doesn't mean it necessarily needs to be said at an inappropriate time. Konolia, correct me if I'm wrong - but wasn't the person you are supposed to strive to be like above all others; a huge fan of speaking truth at..." [more]

MeTa comment: "konolia, I wanted to say that even as someone who needles you about religion occasionally, I do actually sympathize. I was a fundamentalist of almost exactly the same vein you are (much of what you write could have come word-for-word from my mom)..." [more]

MeFi comment: "[Note: semi-tongue-in-cheek] To be perfectly honest the very first thing I would do if transported back to 1000 AD would be to walk to the nearest fairly remote village, wait in the woods outside of it until midnight, creep into one of the smaller..." [more]

MeTa comment: "Plus, I know her a bit (I'm on her profile) and she deserves better than a frat-boy masturbation post on the blue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like somebody held her at gunpoint and said "Let me photograph you scantily clad..." [more]
