"I Totally Remember That": 50 Posts From The Past You Have To Be Old Enough To Get

I’m old enough that the comment, “You won’t always have a calculator to hand” was true. We had successfully put men on the moon but it was incomprehensible that everyday life could include a computer many times more powerful in the hands of “normal” people. You who have grown up with computers as everyday life literally cannot comprehend what it was like before.

Pregnant Woman With No Brain Activity Kept On Life Support To Save Baby Sparks Controversy

I didn’t intend for it to be a moral judgement, that’s your interpretation of what I wrote. I was expressing sorrow and some anger that a child had a child, then another, and now she barely made it to adulthood before she’s literally just an incubator. Please note, I didn’t write anything against the choices being made to save the baby. I’m not questioning the father’s right to ask medical personnel to do everything they can to ensure that life is saved.

Pregnant Woman With No Brain Activity Kept On Life Support To Save Baby Sparks Controversy

Hold up. Where’s the comments that at 21 she already had a 7-year old? This woman was pregnant at 13 /14 but that fact is lost underneath the facts she is pregnant now. She was a child the first time she got pregnant. She was still a child with her second pregnancy. She was barely an adult with her third yet she’s still being treated as an incubator. Maybe she would have wanted her child to survive no matter what, but I have to question would she make that choice if she wasn’t already convinced that her sole purpose in life is to produce babies.

Never underestimate human ingenuity. It’s taken us from being a middling survival predator to the apex. People talk about how destructive domesticated cats are. They have nothing on how many species we have eradicated simply trying to survive. Although, if domesticated cats banded together, I’m not totally convinced who would come out on top. Mild humour aside, if humans can come up with all the fail safes, how can you doubt that other humans can come up with a way to circumvent? I’m somewhat troubled by your “deeply unfortunate for anyone nearby, but no big deal for the rest of us.”

36 Interesting And Effective Psychological Tricks To Mess With People

Meanwhile every woman you’ve ever done this to thinks you’re a vile creep. You know why? Because you are! What kind of pathetic pervert leverages generations of sexual harassment to gain the upper hand in a discussion? A weak, incompetent, incapable of professional behaviour or actually defending his point. And BTW, it’s still sexual harassment. So, great job on outing yourself for being an abusive git. Don’t try to claim “it was a joke”; what’s funny about sexual harassment? Can you explain to us all how fūcking hilarious it is to deliberately intimidate women using sexual harassment? If Apathist has the brain cells to delete his comment here’s why I’m so angry: “I have found that staring at a woman’s chest unnerves them - especially if they’re older. I’ve only done it for “tactical” reasons in order to get my own way in a discussion with someone who was senior (honest).

This needs to be voted down to oblivion. There are so many reasons people find themselves in debt that have nothing to do with the entertainment this cretin thinks is responsible. Minimum wage increases are so far behind the passage of inflation over time it’s ridiculous to expect people to be able to live within their means when the entire deck is stacked against them.

People Are Sharing Real-Life “Cheat Codes” That Actually Work, And Here Are 45 Of The Best Ones

I’m not sure what you mean by this blanket statement. As a Business Analyst, most of what I learn is the result of asking questions. My situation is I *have* to do some talking to get answers; I can’t just sit there and hope people tell me everything I need to know. Active listening is the most important part but I literally can’t do my job of gathering information (learning) without talking to people. A key tool in my skill set is paraphrasing back to confirm understanding. If I’m right, I get confirmation; wrong, I’m corrected. Talking a point through can also help clarify it in my mind. So, no, I disagree that one can never learn anything by talking. The only scenario where I think nothing can be learned is if you’re spouting nonsense without even listening to yourself, let alone anyone else.

“Purchased For $2.9 Million, Now Worth About $4”: 30 Examples Of The Biggest Wastes Of Money

Forrest, the US alone has lost six nuclear weapons that have never been recovered… that we know of. Let me lean into that, we KNOW of six nuclear weapons that have gone missing from one country with, supposedly, the best military in the world. This begs the question, how many more have gone missing that have been successfully covered up? How many have gone missing from countries where the government is even less transparent with their own citizens, nevermind the rest of the world? As for the care put in to ensure they can’t go off without proper authorization, I don’t doubt that, but sociopaths and psychopaths are not all stupid by definition. Some of them are literal geniuses. Give them the time, resources and desire to figure it out and they probably will. I’m certainly not saying it would be easy, but the possibility exists. You’re probably going to ask, “so why hasn’t it happened yet?” I don’t know. But I was taught, hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Besides, scenario 2 is a computer glitch. We’ve already narrowly missed nuclear holocaust when a Russian refused a direct order to “press the button” because he was convinced it was computer error. He turned out to be right. What if the next person is so convinced that it can’t possibly be a computer failure, they go ahead?

“Purchased For $2.9 Million, Now Worth About $4”: 30 Examples Of The Biggest Wastes Of Money

I’d rather they didn’t exist at all, because the most likely scenario is people who believe in martyrdom will get hold of one or more and set ‘em off believing that their ‘sacrifice’ will ensure their place in whatever they believe heaven to be. I’m not even pointing the finger at specific religions! You only need to look at the generalized USA attitude toward firearms to realize that millions don’t care about the death toll, or at least they would rather spend $trillions on metal detectors, school police and training everyone how to survive a school shooting than give up their weapons. They point to their constitutional rights, while ignoring the part where it states those firearms should be in the hands of trained militia.

“Purchased For $2.9 Million, Now Worth About $4”: 30 Examples Of The Biggest Wastes Of Money

My dad, 70s, voted out because he remembered Britain before the EU. He’s since learned that removing a country from a long standing set of treaties isn’t as easy as just going back to how it was. Sometimes, I wish I voted. I had the right but thought “I live in Canada now, who am I to tell people living in the UK what’s best for them?” It’s a small thing but I loved being able to travel throughout Europe or even get a part time job. That’s gone now, and I’m not really clear on what the UK gained.

30 American Norms That Stun Europeans

Um, Ray, you’re confusing sales taxes with earning taxes. Although they’re linked by the word “taxes” they aren’t the same thing. As much as I think it’s daft that in Canada and the US sales tax isn’t included on the ticket price, I can’t imagine a scenario where sales taxes are calculated based on what you earn.

30 American Norms That Stun Europeans

Hate to burst your bubble, but sales tax isn’t calculated and included on the ticket price in Canada either (or at least not in the provinces I’ve visited). I’ve read some online comments about how it’s difficult because there’s city taxes, provincial taxes and federal taxes in both countries. In online sales, we can account for all of these across country borders plus respect country specific laws for whatever product is sold. That’s way more complicated than calculating taxes within your own borders.

GF Breaks Off Relationship On Their Anniversary Because BF Of 3 Years Took Too Long To Propose

Wanting to live together before you spend a sizable amount of money, and propose a lifelong commitment, isn't an unreasonable condition. Expecting that someone is going to do those things based off of limited, prearranged interactions in which both parties always have an "out" and are only presenting their "best, most curated self" is an insane expectation in 2025. She's literally the one who put conditions on the "ideal future" and he didn't live up to the manufactured ideal she concocted in her mind....which is why when presented with the reality that what she claimed to be depressed about was going to happen, she bolted. "It's not how i imagined it to be, he didn't do it fast enough" He dodged a big ol' bullet.

50 Times Parents Said “Trust Me” But Reality Said Otherwise

“What the eff do you think vaccines are?”: An absolutely astounding number of these fools believe that vaccines allow the government to follow their whereabouts at all times, as if Mrs Paranoidpants and what she does is so interesting.These hilariously stupid people haven’t taken so much as two seconds to realize that they *themselves* have elected to carry around a tracking device on their persons 24/7 and so have no NEED of a vaccine to obtain a tracking device if such a device were to exist! (The most horrifying part of all of this to me is that these dopes believe that we have *batteries* and antennas available that are sooo tiny they can fit through a needle used for injections! And that the batteries are apparently self-recharging (because they didn’t come with instructions to recharge them, of course!). It’s one thing not to have a milligram of tech savvyness, but to have the tech savvyness of an earthworm is just … I have no words. 😞

I'm thankful for pet insurance whe Boo was hit by a car when he was 6 years old. Between the vet bill and operation, we paid out over £3,000, the insurance paid the rest, £6,000. I kid around that he's a bionic cat (his hips are held together with plates and screws). He's made a full recovery and will be 17 this year. As far as I'm concerned, the monthly premiums are worth it!

How do you know that? I just don’t get how breastfeeding is supposed to be normal and natural, nothing to be ashamed of until there’s a cutoff date beyond which people start judging it as weird or gross. So long as the child is happy, healthy and well adjusted, why care that it’s unusual? If the child isn’t happy, healthy and well adjusted, yes, that’s grounds for concern.

50 People Who Got Annoyed At Their Pets, But Then Remembered Who They Were Talking To

Oh gosh, yes. He’s not a void (nothing against voids) but the 3am snuggle time causes a second or two of grouchy “don’t wake me up!” until I remember that I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old and now he’s 14 years. There will come a time when I would give anything to be woken up at 3am for snuggles. So we snuggle and I’m grateful that he’s still here to wake me up.

I think what annoys me most is antivaxxers saying diseases are natural and we need to have the diseases to develop antibodies. What the eff do you think vaccines are? They’re a carefully controlled dose of the disease or antibodies that (gasp) allows your immune system to develop antibodies without you dying. I call that a win.

Karen Thinks She Can Park In People’s Driveways As She Pleases, Learns A $5,000 Lesson

I feel for you. I try hard not to use it myself but the one time I commented I think it’s a horrible thing to do to people who can’t help what their parents named them, I got mad downvotes and comments about being over-sensitive. People don’t understand the harm they are doing and when you call them out on it they get angry, defensive, because “everyone is doing it”. Yeah, well, decades ago, ‘everyone’ used the n-word and hardly anyone thought twice about it. Of course, I get yelled out for drawing that comparison because “it’s not the same”. How else do you describe using a word or name to demean a minority? How can they not see that women called Karen are suffering and being bullied because they’re not willing to come up with an alternative description?

Mom Snatches Daughter From MIL’s Hands: “I Don’t Want My In-Laws To Hold My Baby”

So glad the censors came out knowing more about vaccines than the CDC and more about my son's oxygen levels than the testing equipment I used. The CDC does not approve of the Covid-19 or flu vaccines for infants less than 6 months old; you don't know s**t about medicine, Ben, and you've made that very plain. I know enough about medicine from my biology undergraduate that I can competently read the literature and at least know what questions to ask, but not enough to make any medical decisions without consulting my doctor. Please note that it wasn't that I didn't like my answer, but that he didn't address my concerns. And yes, oxygen readily passes through (and around) a mask (so do viruses, but at least they stop some and keep you from spitting accidentally on people which we do way more than we realize). But carbon dioxide does build up marginally, and not everyone's body reacts appropriately to a marginal build up of CO2.

Mom Snatches Daughter From MIL’s Hands: “I Don’t Want My In-Laws To Hold My Baby”

Hmm what about this...The baby bit her aunt's finger... My baby brother did that... Babies do that... Read between the lines. Imagine this from the lease of someone so consumed by anxiety that they are having a near breakdown, losing hair and crying constantly. At least the mom knows something is wrong with her at the moment. I hope she gets help.

Mom Snatches Daughter From MIL’s Hands: “I Don’t Want My In-Laws To Hold My Baby”

What is wrong with everyone? The level of venom coming from these comments is ridiculous. This woman is asking if she's being unreasonable. She is aware that she might be. She's look for input. Clearly, she has some kind of anxiety issue, or maybe even PPD. Instead of having some grace for someone who is obviously going through something that is causing her to act unreasonably, everyone is saying cruel things and acting like she's some evil entity. Get off your flipping high horses. I swear some of you just come here so you can insult OPs so that you can feel better about your sad lives.
