No, it wouldn't. It would be something like Guerrero de Justitia Soziale, but this is me making shit up based on 2 holidays in Italy and fluency in Spanish and Portuguese  Either way, I don't think there is a W for Warrior in there, and even more seriously, you are misplacing the adjective (I think, although it is ambiguous enough in English to be a clever play on words):Social Justice Warior could be (and presumably initiailly meant as) a [Social Justice] Warrior, or someone who fights for social equality. However it could also be read as (and your paraphrasing reads it like this) a Social [Justice Warrior], which is a "Justice Warrior" (lets not ask too much what that is, but I am getting He-Man flashbacks here) who happens to be chatty and friendly (or hangs out on Facebook too much). | ||

There is nothing genetic, nor instinctive, and actually it even tends to be the opposite. Anywaaaaaaaay, to move on to another stupid question: Some of you might have heard of the 'ITER Organization', localized in France, (it is a project to try out fusion by magnetic confinement as an energy source), but the specific thing is that once you go through the fences, you are not in France any more, you are in ITER Organization, with its own laws (most are the one from France, but not only) and law enforcement persons etc... Do any of you know about other places in similar case in the world (embassy and consulates excluded)? The Itaipu dam and hydroelectric power plant on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. | ||

I thought the Flat Earth Society was real. Very convincing fake, then...

I just don't see why that should be. Not sure about this specific brand, but more expensive pasta in general is often made from better flour. You notice the difference in taste (cheaper pasta taste like water), and also in consistency: cheap pasta goes from rock hard to dissolving in a matter of seconds almost when you boil it, while expensive pasta stays at the right amount of bouncy (all dente) for a much longer window. But you need the opinion of a proper Italian I think. | ||

Hmm, did I get it wrong? It was a few years ago, but I remember I got pretty convinced it was fake. I think it was how some of their status message and so on were overly stereotypical, and how readily they engaged in discussion with all the people that came to "troll" them, while in fact (I think) they were the trollees. I think reading the site as a bunch of trolls having a good time just seemed to fit more with the general tone of their posts than a bunch of highly conservative conspiracy theorists. But I agree, if it's a fake, it's really well done, and I am not completely sure. Could it be a mix of true believers and trolls? Maybe time for another visit? | ||

Education (at any level) gives you information. This information builds more and more onto itself as you get to higher levels of education. And I have no idea what thinking in a linear fashion means. I mean, if I understand correctly, it is linear. You have a foundation, and everything gets placed onto that. | ||

I just don't see why that should be. It might have to do with drying it. Even though an individual piece has more surface area it can't be held vertically like spaghetti making it harder to dry. Also, stores might sell less of it and stock it less too so sales aren't as common. | ||

basically you'd aim for a flow of air that facilitates the movement of cold air below and the hot air above, inside the room. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0kyyBBp.jpg) | ||
