What is the meaning behind the Great Gatsby?
I read the book in high school and was annoyed as crap. I tried to give the book a chance but it seemed like it was just a bunch of annoying rich people.
But I looked into it a little more recently and apparently there is a lot of meaning paroding in a non comical way (for lack of a better word) the life of rich people at the time.
So can anyone help me out with that?
Books & Authors8 years agoUnresponsive screen on my phone?
I have an LG g2x phone. Randomly the screen will just be unresponsive. I turn on the power button to wake it up, it shows me the unlock screen, and it won't unlock.
I've tried looking into it and people suggest factory reset, but how can I do that if I can't even unlock the phone?
2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans8 years agoQuantum teleportation?
WARNIG NOT WELL TRAVERSED IN MATTERS OF PHYSICS
I'm aware that it isn't like teleportation in Sc-fi. I know these few things about QT
-It requires 2 linked particles(B&C and 1 unlinked one(the particle to be teleported;A)
-The measurements of A & B are taken
-The information is sent to people at the location where C is.
-C is manipulated to act like A
Done, but...
What happens to A & B? Does B changed since it is linked with C?
Why does measuring A by itself mess with A's state but not when it is measured with B?

2 AnswersGoogle8 years agoYotube layout problem.?
I log on to see the youtube layout is different. Not by much, just that the side bar with all the subcriptions is bigger.
I click a sub's channel and the layout is cutting off some thumbnails.
And no, I'm not too zoomed in. I tried it. I'm also in incognito window.
1 AnswerYouTube8 years agoWhy is "anyways" not a word?
It's a silly little gripe I've seen people have over the word "anyways". I personally don't see a problem with a word so long as the appropriate information is communicated. I don't know which one I use more because it is only a letter difference and it means the EXACT same thing as far as I've seen.
I'd like to think we all know what a person means by "anyways".
Who exactly decides on weather or not it is a word? Because based on the definition of a word, it is.

Hello. I'm trying to move out. I currently live on the Katy/Houston border In NW houston. But I want to move near The loop area(from what I've heard it's more my scene), but the places to live are ridiculously priced.
I was wondering if there were safe and cheap(rent $400-$600 a month) near(no more than 10 miles) those well known good neighborhoods(Upper Kirby, The Heights, Morose, Midtown etc).

saw this study from mid 2000's about same sex couples have higher divorce risks.

I support same sex marriage, but why does that happen.
I don't believe that it is because they are gay, but I'm curious and am hoping someone could give me a sociological explanation that isn't biased.

I'm confused about the biological purpose of black skin. In humans, dark skin helps protect from the sun, but then how with polar bears does their dark skin help them keep warm?
If their skin absorbs heat, shouldn't our's too?

THis is about the anime Shiki
I just finished watching shiki I i liked it, there was just one problem, Seishin(the monk) joining the shiki for seemingly no reason and helping them out.
Why did he do that?
Did he give up? Did he feel sorry for them? I don't get it.
3 AnswersComics & Animation8 years agoDidn't like the buffet items, should I still pay?
I saw a vid of a guy who went to a buffet and had tried small samples of everything (as in scooped a little of everything onto his plate) in the buffet.
He didn't like anything there but the soda. He complained to the manager and demanded not to pay, and only paid for the soda.
I asked something akin to this situation earlier today and people said that most places will compensate for you, but that was for a place like olive garden, in this case of a buffet what can be done(the manager offered to charge kid's price)?
Is it wrong to demand to not pay because you didn't like the food?
BTW the manager let him not pay.
3 AnswersOther - Dining Out8 years agoGoing out and not liking the food?
If you go out to eat (dine in) at a place like olive garden and you don't like what you ordered after taking a small bite. Would you be within your rights to refuse to pay when you confront the manager about the food?
I don't mean like the food being under/over cooked and having a pubic hair in it, I mean you just in your opinion find it nasty.
4 AnswersOther - Food & Drink8 years agoCan someone help me understand gender identity?
I've been trying to understand the concept of transgenderism(the umbrella term) for the past few months now and every avenue of reasoning i try to make sense of leads to the concept of gender identify, the gender you feel inside.
What does that feel like(gender identity)? I try to put myself in the shoes of others and I can't really relate. If people suddenly started calling me a female they would be objectively wrong. My gender identity seems to be contingent on my biology so I can't relate.
I have heard about trans people who have the gender identity of a male/female, but don't have gender identity(butch trans women)
I don't feel male, female, or anything like that, so how can anyone else?
If anything my gender is.... genderqueer?(I don't know). So i feel if I was born with the same brain but a female body. I'd be fine.
6 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender8 years agoHow are common law marriages kept track of?
This question is relative to the US and the few states that allow it.
If there is no legal documentation behind common law marriage how can the couple prove they are married?
If the husband of a common law marriage is goes to the hospital how is the wife able to visit him? Just by saying they are married?
Why do they need a traditional divorce if there was never a traditional agreement?
4 AnswersMarriage & Divorce8 years agoHas anyone ever thought this about porn?
I have no problem with porn or prostitution as a business(not the typical pimping) or consensual prostitution (self pimping i like to call it), but I looked into it and I hear the that porn is legal because you're paying someone for a role not for sex.
Has any lawyer or any person ever, ever thought
"Wait, if when you pay a person for a role you essentially pay them to do everything that role has, so if that role includes non fake intercourse then YOU ARE in fact paying them for sex"
I know porn is a million dollar industry to it is legal for financial reasons and is easy to tax, so that's whatever.
But that loophole of paying to act opposed to paying for sex makes no sense. It is like having an actor in Macbeth actually kill other actors and say "I wasn't soliciting murder, I was paying them to play a role where they kill someone"
Why does the government just make prostitution legal anyway and to where they can tax it?
Am I the only on that feels this?
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoTransgenderism in a gender role-less world?
I'm very confused. I hear that trans ppl are literally in some parts of the brain the opposite of their biological gender. This causes a feeling of discomfort with their biological gender/sex.
To treat this many transgender(not transsexual) just dress/act the part of their inner gender(if you will).
Now that that's been established(hopefully, correct me if i'm wrong) what if the world had no gender roles/expectations?
Would a MTF who now dresses in what is considered in our gendered world as girl clothes still dress in girl clothes due to the female part in their brain? Or due to the lack of gender expectation dress however they like without seeing it as a gender thing.
If the former, why is that so when there isn't anything naturally effeminate about dresses(dressed are just a broad example). Why/how does it take a female brain to enjoy such a thing?
If the later, then why is it in a world of gender roles the feeling of being female causes an inclination to do what is considered female when it wouldn't have anymore or less effect in a gender role less world.
