What if Jaden Smith is actually an amazing actor, and it's the rest of us who are terrible?

There is no reason at all to even begin to ponder this thought.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

If the Earth is a geoid, what shape is the moon?

geoid is not the actual shape of the earth, it's the shape the earth would have to have so that a spirit level laid on the ground always read perfectly horizontal everywhere. compared to earth, it's much smoother (but not flat!) and has lower mountains and shallower seas. it's used to correct precise measurements of angles from the vertical: you plug the measured angle and your coordinates in a program, your coordinates are cross-referenced with the geoid to see where "down" points in the place you are ("down" rarely points exactly down! i.e. to the center of the earth), and the program corrects the angle accordingly

... or so I remember!

(I guess a moon would have a selenoid lol)

Strange. They don't market it to Jews, which seems like the obvious target market.

That sucks, doc.

They say that illness is the body manifesting that which the mind is unwilling to express.
Of course, they say a lot of things, most of which are absolute bullshit.

my mind is unwilling to express how dirty the warehouse party full of strippers and "erotic art" was, so my body is expressing what my mental disgust is lacking

You're never as close as you could be to a friend until you've seen their genitals and they yours. Once the air is cleared on that matter the bond is strengthened many times

Tolstoy did not consider War and Peace a novel. If indeed "il est pas un roman", as he would have one of his characters say, does that make it a Dadaist composition?

I think he meant during training and combat missions, when then needed to be outside and moving.
Pretty sure that back in base they cuddled plenty. and then some.

They say that we should enjoy the road, not wait for the destination.
They also say life is a journey. That seems a bit redundant: the majority of people do not look forward to their own deaths to the exclusion of all else.
