Reply to comment by 254LEX in All the drinking glasses in the world are technically always full and have never been anything less than full. by Few-Opportunity-5196

Touché my friend!

However... Having no empty space", you yourself posted as being full too?

But agree to an extent as well with your argument. Which would also mean that they're never full because most things can be compressed under extreme pressure. For example in a black hole...

Yeah, to get cut means you got booted from a team you were already on. I see your confusion though, because if the wording was “you didn’t make the cut” rather than “you were cut” then yeah, that’d probably mean you didn’t get picked in try outs.

Ahhhhh I see, makes more sense to me now. Not exactly bittersweet then. I assumed cut meant you were never on the team to begin with not removed from the team so now I understand haha.

Edit: I was thinking cut the way you're cut from the team if you didn't make it after tryouts.

The real alphas are the most intelligent. Without the mental capabilities, a physically strong soldier would use a blade and brute force. The genius counters with nuclear weapons. Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Leonardo DaVinci did more damage in wars than any soldier. All geniuses.

Nah, see, the example you gave us gives ya the feeling of “well hey, if I lost, at least I know it was to the best of the best. Maybe I was second best. That’s still pretty good.”

The example here gives the feeling of “damn, I’m why they didn’t get the championship sooner.”

Reply to It's impossible to have more descendants than your ancestors. by Ok-Acanthisitta-6997

I don’t know, my Dad is a family of 16 kids. When my grandma passed away in 2005, they did a count of 16kids, 60 Grand Children and another 60 Great-Grandchildren, that’s almost 20years ago, those two generations are about 120 people. My Grandparents descended from pairs of people. That 120 of grand & great-grand is averaging 50 years per person times 120 is 6,000 years totaled up. That’s some lineage either way.
