Yes, it’s possible, no it’s not faster than using a mouse.

Yeah, but I said nothing about “impossible” though.

Reply to Working out causes your body to create more muscles which in turn increases metabolism, which increases the aging process in a person by ShadesOfPoods
No no no. That's not how aging works. OP, please read a basic human physiology book before making such claims.
Aging depends on a lot of factors, yet creating more muscles won't make you age faster. Actually, doing excercise expands your life expectancy.
There is no scientifical correlation between making excercise and dying sooner, unless you take anabolics.
From all the theories that involve aging, the most popular is the cathastropic theory of aging which involves the fact that aging is a product of the accumulation of several errors in a cell and therefore the entire system/apharatus/individual.
While increasing the rate at which certain reactions take place (principally those which are related to DNA replication and cell proliferation), tends to give place to those errors, there exists in the human system a certain limit at which a cell can decide to.
Our cells don't just infinitely divide and increase the number of cells vulnerable to this failure when there is a nutritional superávit, but when there's too many nutrients, they get either redirected to the blood or stored inside.
And as with excercise, that simply is wrong. There is no correlation between one and another, where shows to be proportional. Actually, they are inversely proportional.
OP, the concept you have of "metabolism" is too vague and obscure. You should try learning more about the subject before making a medical claim.

Right but the gesture this post is about is about showing that our hands are empty, not holding up a weapon over our heads.

Nah, the police and their unions are just biding their time to step in. The second laws to restrict their behavior are seriously debated they'll start attacking the proponents with ads, campaign donations, and if that doesn't work historically they've turned to violence.
A violent gang doesn't just give up just because the public is against them.

Like in Bojack Horseman where all it took for gun control legislation was to empower women to use guns.

"You know what I think? I think there's a big pile of things somewhere. I think there's a big constantly changing pile of things that are lost. You lose something, whoo-pop, it goes to the pile. And then you say, 'Oh look, there it is,' whoowhoowhoowhoowhoowhooph. Right back from the pile. And you didn't even know there was a pile."

Also smiling and showing teeth as a sign of happiness. Show teeth to a chimp and you'd be lucky to survive with your skull intact.

Do you ever think about this and then play the Pacific Rim theme in your head while moving your arms like a robot?

Reply to comment by superkuper in No one watches the news anymore because they never provide any solutions to the problem reported and only exist to infuriate you for clicks and likes. by Inaerius
News doesn't offer solutions, opinions, takes, or sides, it offers facts, events, and background and puts it to the viewer to form their own solutions, opinions, takes and sides.
The vast majority of "News" today is entertainment with a side of current events and fear mongering.

Music can't bend time. It's also just bending space. Though in a way that you can hear, unlike paintings.
There is no temporal art

I’ve seen and heard this repetitive thought. Very sad how things aren’t a problem until black people start doing it.

No. Not “hating” the way you look. It’s about not being satisfied for most.

It's like when nobody wanted to do gun control until the Black Panthers started arming up.

Reply to comment by distraught-takoyaki in Parents hate homework just as much, if not more than their kids. by PeculiarPete
>Not sure why youre being downvoted but i agree with you
Getting downvoted because they said "anyone with half a brain understands" and then went on to display that they have half a brain and don't understand what OP meant.
OP isn't saying that parents hate homework because their have to do it. OP is saying that parents hate homework because the parents often have to help their kids do it and parents often don't remember most of it so it is hard to help.

Agree... I do wish my 13-year-old had less homework.. I just want to be able to spend time with him in the evening, hanging out, instead of doing more work.
If he needed after school work to understand subjects he was struggling with, then I would send him to after school tutoring, which is offered for free at the school.
