Do you judge people?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 12 Sep 10

I do. I say this because I do judge people by their look, how they sound, how they act, how they mingle with people, how they dress, how they talk, how they express their mind, and everything else that I can sense about a person....

Smiitner I try really hard to judge people, but I DO sum people up when I meet them. It took me a few years to realize that not everyone is who they are at the surface level, and that judging them just doesn't serve me any use anymore. I decide who a person is once...

Smiitner If you have lots of time, watch the movie with subtitles the first time, and then without the subtitles the second time. Or conversely, with chinese subtitles, then english subtitles. I've seen people learn using both methods while watching movies.

Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux

xelissa @xelissa (776) • New Zealand 9 Jul 07

The classic debate. I love mac and its great because it's not as common so there are lower chances of catching something to infect your camera. You can also install boot-camp so you can run windows as well as mac on the same...

Smiitner I've mostly used windows, mostly because i'm a big video gamer. I build computers as a hobby/side business, and I usually stick to building window's machines. Tell me, can you play windows only games on a windows-installed mac?

Smiitner When I had two cats instead of the current one cat (one died of cancer), they would usually get into a fight twice a week, almost like clockwork. It was a little less frequent during the winter... but it was pretty regular.

Okay once again I need to vent. So here is what's bothering me. We have our yard cut by a lawn company. The guy who used to do it sold his business a month ago to a new company. They normally come on Wednesdays. But since last...

Smiitner I would seriously tell the company to get lost because they haven't done their job... the job you're paying them to do. I would especially drop them since the other lawn guys you contacted are cheaper. Save money!

Smiitner I'm a trained typist, so I can push myself to around 90wpm. Although my hands wear out because I have bad posture when typing. Usually, for long projects, I arch my fingers more to get better speed and less pain. But lately, I type with one hand because I...

Smiitner It absolutely must be hot! I hate cold coffee, and cold coffee drinks (i.e. the stuff you drink cold on purpose such as iced mochas). Call me a sucker, but I love Starbucks coffee the best, but your average cup of joe is fine too... has to be hot.

Smiitner The Sharia is a guidebook that many muslims study from. Because the Quran does not have all of the answers people seek, the Sharia is a collection of stories and examples that people can apply to daily life. Food laws often come from this text, as well as many...

Smiitner Eat less and eat healthier. It's that simple. Ditch the McDonalds fries, and the coke. Stay home and make a pot of homemade beef soup. Avoid deserts, but don't swear yourself off of them. A little is fine, because not eating them at all will only result in a...

weed killers

jammyjt @jammyjt (136) 1 Jun 07

i have loads of wild weed growing down the bottom of my garden, is there any menthods of killing them without buying commercial weed killer?

1 response •

Smiitner Once you pull the weeds out, I highly suggest laying down a protective weed mat and then covering it with a thin layer of mulch. It will stop the weeds from coming back with a vengence. The mulch helps reduce light further and acts as a buffer against baking...

Smiitner I had a high school teacher that told the class once: "Most people say your high school years are the best of your life... they're lying through their teeth just to make you less apathetic." He was right. If you're in high school right now, and you think it's...

Smiitner Well, if everyone called buildings "builts" when they were done, it would sound strange, now wouldn't it? For example, you're giving directions to your friend on how to get to a certain street: "Take a left turn at the big built with the flagpole." It just...
