I met this guy that had some serious eye contact whenever we were talking to each other. It was kinda weird. But just because someone isn't giving you eye contact doesn't mean they're not listening. Though I can understand how irritating it can be.

I used to take out my DS from under my bed and play it until I felt like sleeping (that was before my parents decide to confiscate it, haha). My first all-nighter was in 6th grade thanks to Platinum.

My sleep cycle is so messed up I don't even have an average sleep time anymore. But most of the time, I'm usually up past 12 trying to finish homework.

The lack of people supporting Sonoko and Makoto is a bit disconcerting. Sure, their back story could have been developed more, but I've actually began taking a liking to them. c'mon you guys, haha.

I used to have the same mindset back in elementary school, but I would never find the motivation to read classic literature or learn stuff like calculus if it weren't for school. Besides, education is a luxury. People in third world countries would kill to be our positions. After all, your calculator is only as smart as you are.

It's a bit depressing, to be honest. But it's still a lot better than some of the endings we've been getting recently. The first ending is such a classic. I remember rewatching it for the first time in years a few months ago. I've never felt so much nostalgia in my life. I also really like the 5th and 6th ending. oh, and Hello Mr. My Yesterday (ED 35)

an unbelievable amount of time wasted listening to 8-bit remixes MrBulbamike, I blame you jk, your 8-bit music has transcended beyond godly actually, I could say the same for just about every soundtrack in Smash 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htQXUEQ-5o4

not anymore. it was kind of my childhood show.

I like watching the psychology of people so I'll keep the show in the back of my mind. F/Z and F/SN will have to come first though.

I have found more brethren. 's okay. mine also probably hated me, haha.

Geez, these dentists need to get their heads straight. Yeah, try avoiding caramel. Unless you prefer living on the edge. Then go for it. "Living like Larry"

lololol, don't trust that bs. I've eaten gum and popcorn without a problem. Caramel might be a bad idea though.

If you're teeth are that bad, getting braces probably isn't a bad idea. Even though I had to go through years of suffering, I'm pretty happy with the end result.

nope. it's easily one of the worst months of the year.

Wait, are you serious My sister got them off around middle school-ish, and she stopped wearing her retainer around the end of high school. Her teeth now look worse than those fake teeth people wear on Halloween. lol I'm kidding, but they do look pretty bad.

I'm kinda wondering why January has been crapping on my life lately. January feels like the Monday of the year.

If that's the case, I've been lied to.

Actually, you pretty much have to wear it your entire life. My sister was kinda lazy about it, and her bottom set of teeth look atrocious now. welp, there's a couple hundred bucks down the drain. Retainers aren't that bad though.

Braces in general are really painful the first few weeks. The outcome is worth it though. Better get it over with now than later in high school, right?

That's my only motivation for wanting to watch it, lol I've always wanted to watch Psycho Pass. How would you compare it to other anime you've watched?

1.5 I'm not counting stuff like Japanese or Spanish since I only know a morsel of those.

we'd be trolled big time if they didn't by the end of the series

Well, you'd also have to factor in the boy's metabolism in addition to his genes and diet. Even if you are in full control of his environment and nutrition, the boy's metabolism can still fluctuate throughout his lifetime. Something as wishy-washy as height is difficult to accurately calculate within a given time frame. It's possible to find a range, but I don't believe that it's possible to predict an exact height. There are other ways to control it though. If the boy has stunted growth caused by a defect in the pituitary gland (or even malnutrition), he could be given HGH in order to compensate. Nevertheless, that still wouldn't be enough to fully control his height. Actually, what I'm trying to say is, you can't really "calculate" this kind of stuff. Human genetics is lottery, the conditions people reside in change frequently, and trying to predict precise outcomes using numbers is nearly impossible. Nature and nurture will always coincide--they can't run "head-on-head." However, depending on the person, one may dominate over the other. For example, someone with severe autism won't be as greatly impacted by environment as a normal person who is in total control of his or her life (nurture). Instead, the autistic person would be too hindered by the crippling condition (nature). As for the boy's height, if you theoretically were able to control every aspect that factors into his height, it might be possible to calculate his exact height (don't quote me on this, haha). Unfortunately, this isn't the case. There are countless amounts of these factors, so this would be a highly unrealistic goal. But like I said before--it's still possible to find a range. I have no concrete answer for your nature vs. nurture discussion. It really varies from person to person. I, however, tend to lean towards nurture being the more significant facet if you're referring to how it affects the average population. Ahh, sorry if this wasn't much help. It's rather difficult to find solid proof stating that one truly is superior to the other because to be honest, it really can't.

There's already a thread like this under forum games: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1294-paste/ just wanted to point that out.

Some people might be more athletic than others because they were born with a larger lung capacity. Perhaps someone is better at doing Geometry over Algebra because his or her brain is wired differently. These are traits that you cannot change. You can try to improve them, but everything genetics-related is pretty much set in stone. Whether the trait/habit is from nature or nurture depends on what it is. Skin color is most definitely determined from nature. Others, such as height, are in the gray area since they might be attributed to both nature and nurture. One person may have all homozygous dominant alleles for height (nature), but might've been living under extreme poverty for his or her entire life. So instead of being 6'5 like they're supposed to, this person might end up 4'2 because of malnutrition (nurture). So really, there is no definitive way to tell whether a trait/habit is from nature or nurture. Schrodinger's Cat is the uncertainty principle. I think you're referring to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It basically implies that all outcomes of an event are possible and real--in other words, an infinite amount of different timelines/universes exist based on this theory. It relates to Schrodinger's Cat in that the cat can wound up either dead or alive. The many-worlds interpretation implies that both of these outcomes exist in decoherence.
