If I remember right, it was a step sister. I think they were dating and then their parents got married suddenly, making them go from boyfriend and girlfriend to step siblings. If the story was true, the parents are the real villains

Yo, this sounds like a nice premise to a story.

Entirely depends on your living expenses and income

Topics like this, which should result in moderations, will be left alone.

Because its nerd male humor. Just what the mods of this place like.

Ah fuck. Didnt read that you specifically marry her. Voted yes thinking it was dating. I agree with this:

It would make no sense to marry someone like that. Just continue a relationship if there are strong feelings, but dont do anything that could potential commingle your assets.

From research, non stick shouldnt be in a dishwasher as the coating gets eroded.

Nerds really think dick size is the most important thing, huh?

I think doesnt know how to take pictures applies here

But I feel shes okay.

it's better to quit than be fired.
at least you'll have your dignity.

fuck that job.

Dont listen to this poster, please.

I think Pokmon games would be much better if the gyms > Elite Four was more of an endgame side quest.

That way it wouldnt be so stale of a tradition. Itd allow a more unique story motivation too. And allow gyms leaders to have more than two Pokemon starting out.

The point being Covid or No Covid, CE doesnt like to party

This. Dunno why folks are pretending covid is why they wouldnt go.

Obviously your first girlfriend is your first ex.

You'd beat her pretty quickly. Men usually beat women at tennis easily. That's why there's mixed doubles.

Tennis isn't really a sport that men can play women against even causually. Unlike sports like BB or soccer there isn't really a way to "go easy on her" you have to hit the ball or not.

Maybe use your non dominant hand I guess.

An unskilled tennis player will be hitting the ball out of bounds 90% of the time. She wont even have to do anything.

Why do protectors think blocking the road will compel people to join their side? >_>

It isnt the point. The point is to force people to acknowledge the cause. Instead of reading about or seeing a sign and then forgetting about it in 3 seconds.

Im still waiting on my 1099 form, so I cant file :/

A cross would have one of the lines not equally aligned.

Its obviously X, the letter.

the real reason why no one is self-made is that everyone had help.

This is really all there is to it tbh.

Ngl. Id watch this movie.

If youre referring to someone or talking about someone: No.

If youre using it to talk about the word itself, I dont care.

Dont use it if youre on even a semi professional platform either.

It shouldnt be complicated.

People claiming never are either not black or nerds.

The legislators that oversee the funding of these treatment programs noticed and rephrased it differently: 90% of funding is wasted.

Now all the funding goes to prevention. The logic is more money can be spent on preventing abuse and addiction with better outcomes.

Which is, by the way, I think true. However it leaves the current addicts holding the bag. I'm not aware of a solution here.

Its funny you mention this particular thing, because I generally agree with the notion of Prevent a fire instead of trying to put one out.

Its why I personally dont agree with student loan forgiveness, for example. I think its too short sighted of a fix. The actual problem isnt being resolved. Its trying to put out a fire that already exists.

I agree it comes down to personal belief though. I personally believe UBI is a preventative measure, and while not everyone will make use of it for their own sake, I think it would overall improve the lives of people positively.

I get your concerns though, reading your points.

I definitely aint arrogant enough to claim UBI will 100% work, but Id be willing to risk it is all.

This is a weird hill to die on. Beheading your 17 year old wife isnt the same as fighting a war for rights. wtf

You couldnt miss the point harder lol.

NightingaleMD posted...

It's muddled by abusers, unfortunately.

I feel you are too concerned about them?

NightingaleMD posted...

There are legitimate people using welfare to get back on their feet and those people I would shunt money towards. It's just so, so hard to separate them. I don't have a solution for that, I can't even begin to think of one.

I think it comes down to:

Help everyone, including abusers
Vs
Help nobody, including those trying

I personally value the former more. Because ultimately, more people being helped would benefit society more than ensuring abusers cant benefit.

But I digress.

NightingaleMD posted...

Here's the key contention: If someone is willing to commit average performance, what kind of lifestyle should they expect to live?

Average would be my say.

NightingaleMD posted...

By comparison, living in a 1BR apartment on gov't cheese and doing nothing seems like a low quality of life.

This is where we disagree. I dont consider that low quality of life. Nor do I think you know enough to claim confidently people do nothing through lack of ambition (Which I assume is your implication.)

And tbh, sometimes people make mistakes that make it immensely harder to recover from. Like getting a criminal record, or going into collections, or pregnancy unintended etc.

I think the concept of UBI is to provide a safety net. Not replace the need to work. Im unsure why folks keep bringing up the notion of doing nothing.

NightingaleMD posted...

I am, I always am. There is a notion that people can change the world by half-assing effort. I sincerely believe this to not be true.

It's a difference of philosophy.

Oh for sure. I respect you infinitely more for not cherry picking.

Theres a disagreement on what constitutes half assing ofc.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did great things through hard work.

But I personally think its unfair to expect the above average performance out of the average person.

NightingaleMD posted...

"no one ever accomplished anything on a 40 hour work week." It's true.

Yikes.

At least youre consistent lol.

Sexypwnstar posted...

IT"S FUCKED UP YOU POSTED THIS SHIT

Stop being stupid. This needs to be known.

Just dont click the topic and read the article.

NightingaleMD posted...

Yes, I still exercised. I just barely slept. I could still crank out 2,000 words on days I wanted to write. In fact I'm going to the gym now and when I get back I'll be writing until I go to work later.

This dude says this and still doesnt get why thats an issue lol.

And we shouldnt use welfare as comparison. Welfare has a blatant cap where if you dont make a large enough jump in income, youd do worse by increasing income, since you lose benefits.

Hell his company could be what robinhood was for investing

This is what excites me tbh.

If people start to realize prices are artificial, maybe actual change can happen.

Im sharing this to friends/family. Awesome find, TC.

EmbraceOfDeath posted...

Your money loses value over time, but you're locked into a specific price to pay already, so you're paying the same dollar amount but the effective cost is less each year.

What about interest?

I dont see how letting the interest accrue instead of paying it down and tackling the principal is a smarter strategy either.

Does it do anything if I am the black person walking into a room?

You dont need it to be common knowledge in society at large for some groups of people to suspect such a thing.

No one will care a small group of Internet dorks are saying Bro, what if its a death note???

Such claims would immediately be ignored. Especially when anime pops up when you research it.

People itt are vastly overestimating who knows about Death Note.

Rathinor posted...

Generally the final boss type wouldn't want to put himself in a vulnerable position at the end of things. Maybe observing from afar to gloat. But not leading the charge

Yea, but the few times that felt truly great is when the final boss isnt just waiting in a room.

Typically have multiple objectives could lead to more interesting final battles. Like the protagonists having to escape the final boss lair and are being delayed by something.

Or even both sides needing to secure something, but the heroes merely get there first so its a matter of defense now.

Like REmake 2 did it great. Facing a battle torn Mr. X as Leon makes his last stand on an elevator is peak excitement for me.

I feel like a lot of final battles are the heroes infiltrate/siege the final battleground.

But is there any game where the heroes must either hold out or stand their ground? Or defend a position which results in a confrontation with the final boss?

I always thought itd be much cooler to be on the defensive as a final encounter. But I cant think of games that do so. The only ones I can think of is Resident Evil when you typically have to just stay alive while a timer is running, which just coincidentally includes killing the last monster thats been stalking you.

I think its weird not feeling sorry for the lady is seen as not having empathy.

Im sure most folks can understand why shes bummed. Which is empathy. But that doesnt mean folks have to agree she should be crying about it.

Like, I can understand why a wealthy kid getting their allowance cut would be upset.

But me judging them for being overly sensitive isnt showing a lack of empathy.

Dunno why OP lady is exempt from peoples opinion.

Please tell us when women are allowed to feel bad and when they are allowed to cry. They really need you to tell them.

I dont think his post specified women, so youre kinda strawmanning here.

Sayoria posted...

don't think it is an age issue, but the fact there are actual problems that are only getting worse.

As if the world has not constantly had problems.

The real answer is that this place and most places TC visits is very US centric. We had a string of polarizing presidents that brought political talk to more frequent places.

Do you also get upset when a girl pumps her own gas with a guy in the car?

. Well if youre asking

I guess I am a bit sexist :(

CyricZ posted...

I mean yeah, that's internalized misogyny. Toxic masculinity. Whatever you wanna call it.

Particularly the part where you judge others.

I guess that could be true.

TyVulpine posted...

So mowing the lawn is a "man's job"? How sexist.

When you phrase it this way, it is pretty bad to think.

People who forgive those they hate dont know true hatred.

Not to sound like an anime character

I hate my father, for example. And it would be disrespectful to me, my mother, and even my late dog to forgive that prick.
