If the advice is unsolicited, it’s u likely that they advice giver has enough context to actually give good advice.
There’s exceptions there (“hey, you shouldn’t lick electrical outlets”, for example. Or a more experienced person at work suggesting something like “hey, try it this way,”)
Let’s say you like to do dorodamgo- Japanese art/hobby/whatever of making mud into polished balls.
Let’s say you make one ball of good clay… and another out of poop.
They look the same, but one is just clay and the other is utter shit.
The perfect drinking companion. Doesn’t get smashed and start offering bad life advice. Or pick fights expecting you to back them up, even though you don’t even remember his name from when he introduced himself five minutes ago. Or, mace you for saying “hello”
Well, if they wanted to play with it again….
I mean, thanks, lol.
This feels like a trap. Did I just sell my soul to your cats by looking at them?
10/10, worth it.
probably don’t want to run a UV light inside the Falcon.
I’d sooner kiss a wookie!
Or… Époisses de Bourgogne…
(This is the cheese falsely stated to be banned on French public transit.)
It’s both super stinky and has a… striking… flavor.
Being called out for a hypocrisy is not hate.
You were literally telling me not to tell be how to drive (which, while I came close, I didn’t actually do,) while literally telling me how to drive.
I understand many states have some form of “slower traffic laws”… and explained why that’s not relevant.
There are many reasons why someone needs to be in the left lane- taking a left-exit, or the left hand fork in a split, or, you know, actually passing people themselves…. Or seeing an eratic driver behind them making it dangerous to get over.
I have to assume that CA law also says something about running people off the road because they’re not going fast enough for you. Generally, I assume everywhere does- for obvious reasons.
Even if you’re right, that doesn’t give you them right to drive recklessly and tailgate people. Which brings me back to the original point I was making: the kind of people who are angry at having to slow down… are unlikely to be polite and civil- they’re already demonstrating harassing behaviors.
IIRC, the felony reckless driving was lowered from +30 to +20, during Covid after it became clear how dangerous people were driving. We saw a massive spike in roadway deaths because suddenly people felt like they could do whatever.
Wow.
I don’t care what “the algorithm “ says, and you’re a hypocritical asshole for telling me not to tell others how to drive while telling me how to drive.
Now to be completely clear: I will always drive in a manner I deem to be safe. Not you. Not the asshole tailgating me because he can’t be bothered to to leave 10 minutes earlier.
And I can assure you: driving 50mph in a residential area is not “safe”. And neither is 90 in a 70 during rush hour. These are both staggeringly dangerous and imo, people who do so are on the level of those who drive drunk.
"What lane your in has nothing to do with speed limit… keep right… "
Left lane.
And your advice is actually somewhat incorrect, depending on the context your in. In more rural areas, sure. In more urban areas… there are dozens of reasons why you need to keep left- including taking a left exit.
Or, you know, like how at that speed your usually passing everyone else…
And just for the record, I don’t know where you are, but here… +20 is considered a felony. it’s incredibly stupid to drive that fast on a highway… never mind not on a highway.
people that go +20 and faster? They’re putting everyone’s lives at risk and statistically it’s only a matter of time before they kill someone. Hopefully something happens to teach them why it’s fucking stupid before it goes that far.
What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I’m imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.
Yeah. No. I don’t know where you are, but when someone is angry at the inconvenience of having to slow down to merely reckless speeds… they’re not going to be capable of civil discourse. If they were capable of civility… they wouldn’t have been angry in the first place.
I absolutely would not want an open channel to everyone around me. The potential for abuse is too high.
Imagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.
And then there’s the privacy concerns. In order to connect to your car-specifically- it has to know your car is there. Which means your car is constantly putting out a beacon. This would be similar to how cell phones work - and are now being used by merchants and advertisers like Walmart to track where you go in stores.
And then there’s the security concerns of people pushing malware.
And then there’s the question of distractions from having to respond to people reaching out or shutting them up or whatever.
I really wish they showed Worf becoming a total Cat Dad- with his quarters decked out in cat runs, Worf getting all Steve Irwin watching Spot hunt (“What a maginficent hunter!”)… all the cat toys. Trips to the holodeck to get outside… maybe even setting up those holographic table thingies for mice and things.
like you know Spot had Worf wrapped around his paw.
if this were true then you’d see runners in Olympics and elsewhere not swinging their arms. also a pubmed.
To your edit… it rather sounds like she is in fact MAGA and doesn’t want to admit to the “why”. there’s really not very many people who were both willing to vote for trump a second time and aren’t MAGA, even if they don’t want to admit it.
from an ethics stand point, I’ll remind you of an old german saying. “If 10 men are sitting at a table with a nazi, you have 11 nazis.” You cannot look at trump and honestly conclude he’s an acceptable (never mind good,) president without also agreeing with his fascist and tyrannical bullshit. if she’s genuinely unhappy with the status quo, she can show it by protesting or something. Until then, she’s still a trump supporter and still part of the problem, and there is zero excuse for not knowing what he was about. he said he was going to do everything that he’s doing. (well. maybe not the ballroom or shitting himself, but details.)
but none of us are the ones you need to be having this conversation with. we can’t decide what’s right here… that’s a personal decision you need to make with your wife.
The mark of the beast was a reference to Nero.
Which was known by the people at that time. (Which is why when it was translated into or from Greek- I forget which version was first,) the Greek version’s number was changed to reflect the Greek pronunciation of Nero as Neron.
Daniel’s “Antichrist” was similarly understood to be about a ruler contemporary to when the book was written.
I suspect your attacks on Pope Leo are politically motivated and you’re spouting whatever bullshit sounds good to justify it.
Looking at your posting history, your recent post… probably violates rules 1, 4 and 5: no politics, shitposting is okay as long as it’s not problem, and no trolling.
the answer to your question is that there are differences between opinions that are unpopular and opinions held by assholes. Believing that ice cream sucks is unpopular. Believing that poor people shouldn’t spend money on ice cream is vile. Do you see the difference?
(Just to be clear… ice cream does not suck.)
