• (1 vote) Umm so i was wondering if glasses were really dorky,
  

  Glasses have a lot of advantages. Like if you’re on a blind date with someone who’s really not attractive, you can slide them down your nose and look over the top (or just take them off) and suddenly you can’t tell that the other person has spinach in their teeth! You can also hold them in you hand while you gesture at things, like a pointer but much classier.
  
  They’re also way useful for identifying other nerds.

• Are there any atheists here?
  

  Well, it’s the paragraphs after the one line you quote that were interesting:
  
  “In other words, the difference is only about what they say and not about what they do. I challenge proclaimed agnostics to describe how their life is different from those who say there’s no god, or the even more common “areligious” who simply say they have no religion…. Agnostics imagine that atheists say they are “certain” and thus are fools, but the truth is just about every atheist I have ever seen would say that, should God appear before them, miracles a-blazing, they would of course respond to evidence and change their minds. They just don’t think it’s likely enough to make it worth worrying about. It may be that agnostics do indeed worry about this more than atheists do, which in a way is a difference of behaviour, but a minor one. Atheists by and large admit, in the extreme, that the agnostic is technically right that we can’t know for certain, and agnostics, in spite of the claim of uncertainty, live their lives exactly as atheists do, presuming there is no god. Agnostics think the concept of “doubt of certainty” is important. Atheists acknowledge and even agree with it, but find it unproductive…. Agnostics that I’ve met don’t tend to pray “just in case” following Pascal’s Wager.”
  
  I’m not trying to ‘change’ you or anyone else; not any more than simple conversation changes anyone, at least.

• DO YOU LIVE NEAR A NUCLEAR REACTOR?
  

  Yes, actually I’m always taken aback by how amazingly diverse the ecosystem is on the old Chernobyl site. Sure makes it seem like the rest of the planet is a lot hardier than we are.

• Guy language help?
  

  Just ask him out. The worst that can happen is that you’re both hit and killed by a bus before he can answer. After you accept that, everything is cake.

  All *our* computers.

• DO YOU LIVE NEAR A NUCLEAR REACTOR?
  

  ‘Need’ meaning ‘can not possibly do without’. Unless you’re willing to regress to horse-drawn iron plows or you’re up to killing off 3 billion people or so.
  
  The alternatives to nuclear (discounting fossil fuels of course) are at least 50 years away from being able to make up the gap, particularly if we actually convince people to switch to hydrogen or electric cars, and not without their own substantial environmental and aesthetic impacts.
  
  As for your “very very very huge” consequences, you’ve been watching too many movies. Next you’re going to tell me we need to destroy all out computers because they’re going to take over the world, eventually.
