An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Whatever “God(TM, a whoever corporation)” says will be the way forward. Of course, if you can pay the private school, you can be one of the wolves instead of the sheep.
