Why did you make this thread without consulting The New Thread Thread first?

Author

I have a question:

Why haven't there been any original threads lately? There have been plenty of old threads bumped, some redundant threads made due to lack of consultation with the New Thread Thread, parody threads, and threads copying other threads, but nothing original.

I have a busted Amiga500 bought at a flea market. When you turn it on, it just shows a white screen. I can do a little soldering and I know a little about electronic components. What are the chances I could get it to work?


- a pretty awful guitar player

 why do you consider yourself awful?

Because Hollywood's run out of ideas.

This totally needs to be recited by a beatnik to a nice, slow jazz beat.

Why hasn't Leonardo Dicaprio won an Academy Award?

TV's Frink asked:

Why did you make this thread without consulting The New Thread Thread first?

So that I could guarantee at least one question

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why haven't there been any original threads lately?

I think this is such a good question that you should consult The New Thread Thread about making a thread to discuss this issue.

Leonardo asked:

What are the chances I could get it to work?

I'll never tell you the odds.

Seriously, I have no idea.

Leonardo also asked:

why do you consider yourself awful?

When you play guitar as infrequently as I do, there's little way to go but down.

Not a question, but I totally agree.

Johnny Ringo asked:

Why hasn't Leonardo Dicaprio won an Academy Award?

My guess is that he hasn't put in a performance of better quality in the eyes of the majority of Academy voters when compared to the other nominees for his nominated category in any year in which he was nominated.

What can we do to make /r/OriginalTrilogy interesting to other redditors?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Why are you Christian? Why Protestant Christian? Why specifically Presbyterian?

Why?

Why are you unmarried? Why are you American? Why are 27? Why are you a man?

AnctuFaalb asked:

Is there any purpose that a subreddit can serve that this board is not already serving? That question aside, probably news update posts about the most popular OT-related projects.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why are you Christian?

I think Jesus rose from the dead and was God, and the teachings outlined in in the Bible (later, in some cases, clarified by later creed & councils) are true.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why Protestant Christian?

This gets a little presuppositionally/circular, but I don't see anything in the Scriptures (aka the Bible) supporting the notion of Apostolic Succession.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why specifically Presbyterian?

I think the Presbyterian system of church government matches well-enough what's described in the New Testament epistles (that is, having multiple elders per congregation) and works well.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why?

I, after a series of experiences working with kids, with teachers, and/or in a teaching capacity, thought I would enjoy teaching more than I did programming. So far, in my second year, I think I was right.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why are you unmarried?

I have yet to marry anyone.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why are you American?

I was born to American parents in America and continue to reside here.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why are 27? 

Why not? I think, though, the real answer is that I was born 27 years ago.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why are you a man?

The sperm from my father which inseminated an egg in my mother which then developed into me received a Y-chromosome instead of X during Meiosis.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why?

Because Honda Civics are known to last a long time compared to similar cars, and a 99 Civic was affordable with no loan when I needed a car.

RicOlie_2 asked:

Why?

The more power is concentrated in a higher-level body, the less individual constituents have the power and perceive they have the power to effect the outcome of the political process. This leads to less involvement and thus less actual representation.

 Because some say he isn't that great of an actor, even though I personally like his work.

Because his pretty boy years colour almost everyone's opinion of the man as an actor.
