If I wanted to express something like "You'll never love me, but I will always love you" but instead say it like "I'll never be yours but you will always be mine" or "You'll never be mine but I will always be yours", which of the latter two quotes expresses the original quote ("You'll never love me but...") correctly?
(am I making absolutely no sense yet? )

The thing is that the liquid chocolate solidifies almost immediately after the equipment is shut down due to dynamic equilibrium, and heck, it does become a huge baseball sized gunk within half an hour. Hope that won't put you guys off from eating fondue at a buffet restaurant.

Think I could sell a dakimakura off online for $60? Unopened, part of omake from a discontinued, hard to find magazine issue. Its one sided, and official of course. The mag cost $40 and I dont want the daki, so I'm hoping to at least make the money back (which I think shouldnt be too hard, official dakis sell for over $80).

but, apparently, ( after a little bit of digging), its described as the 'underdog effect' To quote the article I got it from Quote:
Another paper I found on the subject (one of the first hits actually) 'The Appeal of the Underdog' (2007), which should immediately give results on google. |

Get a car and make the commute every day? Move to the city? Not very many comfy choices, but that's what people who want to be successful have to deal with. As for college, if you're interested in going, why not go to one with dorms? Or move and get an apartment nearby with friends (you all can split the bills). |

Does anyone here believe in something called genetic inheritance of abilities?
I had a visit from a very long distance relative today (with a really cute female cousin), and while we are talking, she mentioned something about hereditary traits. Apparently she claims that I genetically inherited the following : 1. The ability to speed-read people's personalities from my maternal grandmother 2. The ability to put something I read into use by simply practicing it just once - from my maternal grandfather. 3. The ability to see beyond (ghosts, apparitions, etc) from an uncle / great grandparent. She also claims that I got 1 & 2 from my mother who had the same abilities (2 is true, my mum knows German, Chinese, Bahasa and every single Chinese dialect). I read my cute cousin's personality and told her about her apparent nervousness when trying to start a conversation, her lack of initiative and a blissful demeanour, all of which she and her mother replied to be true. I haven't proven 2 true yet, and I don't believe in ghosts and such so 3 does not apply. Is it really that possible? Or those are skills instead of abilities; which are acquired through life experience?

Well DNA only codes for specific proteins sequenced into specific polypeptides. If medical science is able to define that a specific polypeptide or series of such directly affects one's biological capacity for a specific task, then yes, theoretically speaking.
But since practically everyone has the same things in variation anyway, well...
