So what do you do when you misplace your remote? Use the force and mind control it? Buttons are a very nice thing to have when you lose the remote or if the remote goes bad.
If I promise to drive you to the airport but moments before I’m to pick you up my mom has a stroke and winds up in the emergency room, and I call you and tell you get a cab my mom just had a stroke. Did I lie? Answer : no I didn’t.
It’s only a lie if I had no intention of picking you up to begin with.
My father, who convinced me (16 m) at the time to move in with him instead of my mother when they moved. All 3 of the other siblings stayed with my mother. He then kicked me out the week I turned 18, a week into my senior year. Since then he stays in touch only to speak with his grandchildren (now going on 4 kids). I have never...
first . the internet is the absolute last place you should be asking for advice on this. we don’t know you . we don’t have real world interactions with you, your kids, and your dad. so there is zero way we can answer this question.
second. seek out a professional therapist who can help you with this problem.
I went over a bike ramp when I was about eight or nine years old, pretending that I was bo duke from Dukes of Hazzard. I lost the bike. Instead of my sitting on the bike. I was spread eagle over the bike, the tires were pointing to my right the handlebars were under me. Laws of physics took over. I dropped on that bike really hard. Slightly caved in my chest.
To clarify : abortion rights as a constitutional amendment means the right to an abortion is absolute under the eyes of the constitution. It would be fully up to the one that is pregnant and the doctor. No interference from the government.
Officially pulling out weapons and waving them around? No
The threat of the usage… Depends on how you want to look at it. Look at Montana and Texas in the very early years of those states. I’m pretty sure you can find plenty of cases of small town governments not doing something stupid for fear that the locals would come get them.
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
Exactly. Although a person can really only retain so much info, but yeah if you can figure out how to memorize both anti biotics and plumbing you’d be a very popular person and potentially be an excellent leader.
so all the porn pictures and cat pictures and food pictures also shouldn’t be posted? also the pictures and videos in the section of flying… and … also in photography… wait should i go on?
Learn where all the shut off valves for your waterlines are at your house or apartment. When you have a leak is not the time to find out or rather figure out where your shut off valves are at. if you don’t know where your shut off valves are at, what could’ve been a minor water mess could turn into a major bill.
Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never...

Thank you for helping to prove my point. When the OP was saying take the fifth he was talking in a genetic way. In other words walking into the police station and taking that countries variation of the fifth. He just didn’t bother typing it fully out like that because it was obvious what his point was. It’s obvious that new Zealand doesn’t have the literal fifth amendment but they have the equivalent of it. Again thank you for helping to prove my point.
When I asked “doesn’t new Zealand have that concept” I new they did. I was trying to get you to understand what the op was trying to say.
I know that. I was trying to get him to understand that the op was talking in a generic sense. Both op and myself realize that new Zealand has an equivalent concept of the fifth. Op wasn’t trying to say walk in and literally say “plead the fifth” but walk in and do the equivalent of that.
People get way to literal when they don’t need to be.
This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples...
That’s what a lot of people fail to understand. It isn’t just the price of the house. It’s everything else included (maintenance, replacement,taxes ). If over the very long term it’s cheaper to rent then probably just rent.
Absolutely all true. Although I did say Everything else included. While yes you are building equity… If at the end of your ability to live alone, you have spent more by owning then renting (read this as significantly more) then it might have been wiser to have rented and invested the difference. Again people have to look at ALL the options.
Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?...

Would you rather have Trump as President but have abortion rights become a constitutional amendment, or anyone else be President but abortion is completely outlawed.
To clarify : abortion rights as a constitutional amendment means the right to an abortion is absolute under the eyes of the constitution. It would be fully up to the one that is pregnant and the doctor. No interference from the government.
