Come on dude. I know it wouldn't be cool that we had no way of knowing and that's kinda messed up but I don't think any of us would tell God "I'm not gonna apologize."

I couldn't talk back to the almighty face to face. I'm completely outclassed. And Id feel like if I said the wrong thing I'd go to hell (which is also bs but I'm not gjnna argue with the ultimate being either.)

Obviously I have no idea how I'd react if the literal God of the universe presented himself to me. But here in the comfort of my totally normal home, I can tell you that I would feel no need to apologize to him.

If I see one more Instagram or Facebook post about this...

So you're telling me that I can be judged if I do post on social media, and if I don't? Where's the escape? What if I don't even have any social media accounts?

Social media does not reflect real life. Me not posting about current events is no indication that I don't care.

And yes, I know for a fact that all of the people saying this are not protesting. They're comfy at home making political posts to their followers.

I don't think I should have to apologize for not believing in something hat, until this moment, there was no evidence for, but surely I'd have to live in the newfound knowledge that he sure doodaddily exists.

The Bible is still a crock of shit, though.

Totally agree. I'm not going to apologize. That doesn't mean I want to tell him to fuck off.

Any legit fast food place has a place where they can park people if they have an order that's going to take an extended time.

Tim Horton's doesn't and if the largest chain in Canada isn't a legit fast food place then I don't know what is.

I don't care if you want fresh fries. Just order them inside.

I've worked in drive thrus before and I'll just say that people who place giant orders in drive thrus are incredibly annoying. Store drive thru times are recorded and managers are always angry when times are slow, which means workers get the shit end of the stick.

If you want a lot of food then go inside.

So the secondary question is how does this work

Someone said there was a married couple in space once so that seems obvious, but normally the only relationship people have is that they are both astronauts

do astronauts date each other in space or are there basically big space orgies >_>

Good question. On the one hand everyone always advises against dating coworkers and / or roommates, for good reason. On the other hand they don't have any options while they're in space long-term.

He's not a leader. Being a businessman doesn't mean you can lead. I'll never understand why people voted for him instead of bernie.

People always want to believe that those outside of the system are actually better equipped to make change and to be honest with the public. Its the same reason that some people trusted Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop over licensed doctors, and why those articles of scientists making discoveries outside of their subject fields are so popular.

Of course its not wrong.

Is it the violence itself that makes you uncomfortable, or the thought that youre causing that violence, even though its virtual?

I personally can relate to the latter. I dont like being mean to people in video games even though I know it doesnt matter. The gore and violence itself doesnt bother me, although Im sure it would if it were in real life.

Scientists actually dont understand much about lightning, which is pretty wild to me. The general mechanism is somewhat understood, but we dont know why the Earth has a positive charge compared to thunderstorm clouds, which is why the moment of gigantic charge equalization (lightning strike) can even exist.

I dont mean this as a jab against scientists, but rather as a chance to gape in awe at the power and wonder of nature.

Sitting still for 10 minutes or so will cause me to fall asleep. And then I get stuck falling in and out of sleep. I snore too so it makes taking the bus super embarrassing. No amount of sleep at night helps.

I thought his motivation was fine. His conversation with Dr Strange made it pretty clear that he only wants to prove to himself that he was right on Titan. He's obviously not meant to be sane, although there are plenty of people who think that he had a point.

A GF may or may not help in that regard, nothing is guaranteed in life.

In the meantime you can push back your depressive thoughts by keeping yourself acquired with fun and productive things. If negative thoughts are creeping into every so often you've probably got to much freetime on your hands.

The thing with depression is that it feels impossible to start something. Working and being productive makes you feel good, sure, but starting the task can seem insurmountable.

Verdugo. Is it even possible to kill it without the rocket launcher? Never tried it myself, it felt like every bullet I fired at it did jack shit.

Yeah but absolutely not worth attacking him unless he's frozen. I think he takes triple damage while frozen; even a rocket won't kill him normally.

---

Verdugo. Want his loot but he takes way too much ammo to kill with normal weapons. I'll usually buy one for the twin garadors but I've done it pretty often without.

Played far enough to unlock the vehicle system. I'm a Siren with points in the Brawler tree so far. I played SIren in the other games and generally went with an elemental build, but Amara's elemental tree has basically the same active skill as Maya from Borderlands 2, so I wanted a change.

There are two major malls near me.

One has been totally closed since mid-March but I think is opening up next week - my area has been quite tame regarding case numbers and community spread. It will be up to individual stores inside the mall to open and adjust their hours and operations as required, but since the businesses will need to pay rent whether they open or not, I expect all of them to open up and adapt.

The other never closed but the stores within have been mostly closed, aside from some food places, and the entire mall was reduced to one entrance with a strict occupant limit. I haven't been since the shutdown but I imagine that most people were steering clear of it.

there's no reason to complete a master's and a phd

you do one or you do the other

otherwise it's just a waste of time

In many countries (Canada and Europe at least) you need to get a Masters before you can apply for a PhD, unless you're an exceptional undergrad and get a fast track.

leaving lights and TV on for the dog? wut

He claims the dog gets anxious if the TV and lights are off when he goes to bed. If the dog needs white noise to stay calm then (besides better training) a radio would be better.

I stayed with my dad for a few weeks recently, and he commented about the price of his power bill. It's more than triple what I pay, and his house is not even close to triple the size of mine. Maybe 1.5 times at most.

After that I noticed all these little things that he does to use more electricity, like having a portable AC on in his bedroom all the time (yes, even during freezing winter temps), leaving lights and the TV on over night "for the dog", etc.

He also seems to be against doing things himself. He has a chainsaw and electric hedge trimmer but pays someone to trim his hedge. I told him that I do my own oil and tire changes and he looked at me like I had three heads.

Not necessarily trying to paint him in a bad way, but I do find it interesting that he has more time than money. Ever since I moved out years ago, I've been conscious of utility usage because I didn't always have the money to spare. I also like learning how to do things myself that don't require professional knowledge. He's not rich by any means, but clearly he doesn't need to watch his spending.

Assuming the suicides are not due to the loss of a loved one or the loss of a job/financial ruin, the suicide stuff is silly.

yes, social distancing is lonely. So? Is staying at home a couple months worth committing suicide? Pleaaasseeee.

the same people who began 2020 saying fuck your feelings, snowflakes and need a safe space, liberals? And *sips lib tears* are now oddly concerned about peoples feelings and consider not being able to go to the bar or gym something that can lead to suicide, its the ultimate irony

For some people, yes, staying home for a couple of months can lead to suicide. People with mental illnesses aren't always rational.
