Awesome, always glad to help :D
I have such mixed opinions on this. I think at this moment right now it doesn't have to be changed, but we'll have to look into (collectively that is) to population control and the health and opportunities of future generations.
Right now any 5 senators who want to explain how that whole thing works would be fantastic. Roman senators that is. I'm in the process of working on a Model UN crisis committee on the topic of the second punic wars, and the experience of meeting roman republic senators couldn't be any better than right now. (Just as a side note, it's great to be returning to hubski, especially if anyone remembers me, there's what, 10,000 of you by now?)
In what ways do you think Romney would have made a better president?
At this point American voting needs so much reform, it's just sad.
Honestly, I don't ever feel that my opinion would be completely disrespected; I just feel extremely insecure sharing! The "accidental" power users all share quite thought provoking or at least clever material, it's simply the culture that has been built here. Does anyone else share this feeling?
I've felt that I should limit my contribution so it doesn't just become noise. Perhaps others share that attitude? There is a lot of brilliant content here which can be intimidating, and also tricky because more relaxed or casual content can become just noise. I remember seeing someone sharing a picture of a dragonfly, (I found it; humanodon: I found a dragonfly, it was simple, but not passive. If the "casual" content of Hubski was all like that, we would be set! Yet, not everyone can or will share that sort of thing often. It might be the community aspect can bring out the rest of us, like the weekly music thread. If some choose not to 'let lurkers be', engage them, don't push them.
I saw this a couple weeks ago, but they've added the members section since, it's as if an occult hand edited the page.
I'll help out on the wiki as much as I can; I know I'm still new, but I can be helpful.
A friend recently told me of his brother's new band; I've give the tracks they have uploaded currently a few listens, and I'm sure there's more to come. Clevinger
A half empty composition book. The geometry textbook I have yet to return to my teacher. Paper Towns (John Green, partially read) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (JK Rowling) Erewhon (Samuel Butler) The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide (Douglas Adams) On the Road (Jack Kerouac) Looking for Alaska (Also John Green, but read a dozen times)
To me, space is chocked full of opportunity. It is a literal universe of potential for greatness, with many chances to start anew. I look to the skies and see hope.
NotSoTrue was spot on, but a quote comes to mind; "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." - Antoine de Saint Exupéry We always can try to pull someone out of their comfort zone, but maybe not in the right way.
This might be the tag I'll use the most, or maybe the least!
I plan on trying to get into MIT, but I still have time to decide.
I'm 15, and while I'm a bit separated from the actual community, that makes me hubski's premier teenage lurker!
I've had too much fun with it in the past few days really.
I like to think that the idea of "one or the other" is ridiculous. I think having a regulated free market with universal healthcare, education, and some form of welfare would be perfect. Education should be a huge focus of the government, as should supporting research. I believe in knowledge and sharing it, and making life the best it can be for all of us.
Thank you for your brilliant response! I've been very interested in futurology and the science around it's beliefs recently, and I'll make sure to read your sources.
There's the trending tags under community, which seems like a good place to start. I also suggest following people, and they often share with certain communities. The dual tagging can help too.
Awesome ;)
I'll have to look into it, but children educated to careful around strangers and where they go would seem to be less likely to be abducted. It seems logical.
Like others, my curiosity was piqued by a TheoryofReddit post. Hubski certainly has felt like a great alternative to reddit so far, although I would say there is a little bit of a learning curve.
I followed the same path. I've stayed, but pretty strictly lurked for a while. There's just so much good content, and I want to get to a place of contributing stuff as interesting as I see.
I want to lose weight.
I want to be in marching band.
I've been told the latter may help the former. (Also I have some financial goals; I need to save up for a trip to Germany next summer!)
I've actually taken geometry! It goes on to precalc next year. Regardless, thank you, and I wish you the best of luck too.
It certainly looks a lot like another OS.
I'm feeling mostly pretty good, especially after some good news last night, but I also have the feeling I should create something, but I don't know what, and the idea I had just completely slipped my mind.
Just a thoght; it has never occurred to me before that sentences of this length one day may likely be more than "symbolic" so to speak.
