Is it normal to be depressed and angry at the same time?

Depression is anger without enthusiasm.

 

[Yared]

I would say anger is depression "aimed" or directed at someone or something, as well.

There's a Royal Marines video out there somewhere which goes something like this:

Anger makes you slow. Anger makes you heavy. Anger uses energy better placed elsewhere. Anger clouds judgement. Anger makes mistakes. But anger controlled is a deadly force. Commandos don't waste anger - they channel it

Is it possible for a cat to climb up a (metal) ladder by himself? Because yesterday he got stuck on the top of something and the only way to get up there (the sides are vertical) is by ladder that was beside it.

Is self-loathing depression? Or is it a part of depression? Or is depression part of self-loathing?

Cats climb ladders very easily. But some of them are chicken about coming back down, because they can only go down face first. So of the ladder is very steep, then getting down is a problem.

Can be part of depression.

I'm really bad with the search on this site. Not long in the past there was a thread in OT about a guy making a post on a Ron Paul site that was pure lunacy and included birtherism. Anyone remember the thread and what the title of it was?

When you forget to take the covering off a microwave dinner, why does it explode? (I mean, in contrast to the covering just splitting or something.)

EDIT: Also, why does the food go everywhere when it explodes?

 

[Love]

Because it explodes. BAM!

 

[Yared]

Does the heat get trapped in under the coverings?

Also, what Love said.

EDIT: Also, why does the food go everywhere when it explodes?

The steam is unable to escape, the pressure and temperature increases and the plastic eventually rips. Then the steam escapes and the pressure drops, but as the food is now over 100C, liquid water which was trapped in the food instantly vapourises and turns into steam, its the rapid expansion of this steam which causes the food to 'explode'

Please make sure your parents have replenished all the first aid boxes, fire extinguishers ect, you have got through in the last week or so, before attempting to cook a treacle pudding, as these can be particulary dangerous.

It's fine. I think 17-20 is perfectly fine, 16-19 is kind of stretching it (depends on the couple really), 15-18 is doable. Lower than that is a

yared, you are so wise. 15-18 seems freaky though.

Good for you buddy. That's about the age difference between me and my woman - 3 1/2 years - and you're both a year older.

@aimee: Next time you think you've got blood on you, try tasting and/or smelling it to see if it's actually blood. I'm constantly bleeding due to my chronic inability to go to the bathroom at night without tripping over my girlfriend's crap strewn haphazardly over the place, and I'm also constantly covered in gravy, chocolate icing, etc., so tasting any weird dark pools on my body has become second nature. Hasn't killed me yet.

Bold is how I read this at first. Nevertheless that is an interesting situation brother.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

What, if anything, can be done to make this picture more believable?

 

[Yared]

yared, you are so wise. 15-18 seems freaky though.

It's all about keeping it balanced. In this case the 15 year old has to be very mature for his/her age to keep the 18 year old interested.

There's also the matter of intimacy. The 18 year old might be pushing for a little more a little faster than what the 15 year old is comfortable with.

There are lots of things really that have to be balanced.

-This is of course assuming a "healthy" relationship. Not one where the 18 year old is dominating and toying with the 15 year old.

It's believed that heavier than iron elements like uranium are formed in supernova explosions.

This is, in my opinion, the single greatest fact about the physical universe that there is.

Of course. I've seen small dogs climb ladders onto rooves.

 

[Cutlass]

This is, in my opinion, the single greatest fact about the physical universe that there is.

I've also seen the theory that heavy elements can be created by the collision of stellar remnants like white dwarves. However, that doesn't seem to be well known or accepted.

I had someone from the U.S. ask if I live in an igloo because I'm Canadian. What's a witty answer to this?
