and failing isn't that bad in paradox games. the learning curve is steep but levels off as you figure out the mechanics.

If you're unable to eat very much for a while, can it make your stomach get smaller? Last night I attempted to eat what used to be a normal-sized meal and it was very painful.

Yes, the stomach can get smaller or widen depending on your eating habits (fat people can even get a surgery to make their stomach smaller).
But that takes some time (no idea how much), and I'd guess that this might not apply in your case.

Got it checked out. As I suspected, it's a side effect from my wisdom tooth extraction back in January and I will need to go regularly back to the hygienist every month for the next three months to make sure everything heals properly.
In other words, $324 of dental costs coming right up!
Yes, it can. This is why some people can eat 2 pizzas and some not even one. The stomach is very adaptable regarding this, so my guess is that if you try again today, the pain is already gone.
Btw. its worth to note that the time it takes for the brain to register that you have "had enough" is longer than we sometimes eat, so you might consider eating slower atleast until the pain is gone.

People can eat two whole pizzas?

I was referring to food though. Unless I happen to join the Mars mission I don't think I'll be eating pizza pockets anytime soon. Marie Antoinette herself wouldn't suggest the consumption of that sweet, crappy casing and the allegation that they contain "meat" is spurious at best.
Can someone explain the basics of the medical care in the US.
1) what happens if you are broke and get hit by a truck and need urgent operation? Lets say that you're unconscious so the operations were not your decision.
2) The day after you moved to a new state, it turns out you need a doctors opinion on something non-urgent. What do you do, and will it cost you?

Sorry for "blocking" Muhammed, but did Ron Paul name his child after Ayn Rand?

No he did not. Ron et wife have said they didn't even know who Ayn Rand was when they decided to name their child Randal

Besides, for all her faults, Ayn Rand wouldn't countenance the sort of unprovoked aggression inherit in naming a child "Randal".

Ron is a cool guy. Maybe he just thought Clerks rocks?
Question computer nerds and I bet this one has you stumped. Why would my i pad specifically hate the acoustic/folk thread in A and E such that whenever I try to post it gets half way through loading the page, has a little tantrum, crashes and goes back to my home screen (not CFC home screen, the pad's)?

Traitorfish, sorry for being an ignorant know-nothing, but how does a "strongman" differ from a dictator? (If this question seems smug and ironic, know that it is not)

"Dictator" implies a level of exceptional personal authority which is not associated with the more general category of "strongman". Strongmen are usually the leading figures of a particular clique or complex, distinguished by seniority more than anything else, while dictators stand alone and apart from all subordinates, or at least as part of a narrowly-defined junta.
All dictators are strongmen, and most dictators begin as non-dictatorial strongmen, gradually accumulating more personal power over time. Stalin, for example, can't really be seen as a dictator until the purges of the late '30s, before which he was too heavily reliant on a particular network of allies within the Communist Party leadership to act with true independence. Significantly, strongmen may operate within at least formally democratic political systems, the standard example here being Vladimir Putin, while dictators must by definition be capable of exceeding any democratic limits.
(Interestingly, some scholars allow for the possibility of a "constitutional dictator", in which the dictator wields unmoderated personal power, but within a constitutional framework. Generally, this is a temporary phenomenon, existing during a particular crisis or emergency- an extreme form of the sort of extraordinary powers wielded by, e.g. Lincoln during the Civil War - but some argue that it can become a stable form of government in its own right.)
