He wouldn’t make it past the first few minutes. Even if he has the capacity to get the points Feynman was making, he’d never sit and actually listen to try and understand something. Remember, he already knows everything. Except when he doesn’t, and because his ego is so massive, if he doesn’t understand something, clearly no one can. Or when he learns something, no one else knew it before.
Correct, which is why it should be pronounced just like the word that was meant to be typed, only replacing the “o” with a “p” sound. It wasn’t that hard to figure out when it became a thing, people just like word drama.
This is a very optimistic view of things. If this is indeed the plan, it still hurt a lot of people for very little, and to bank the strategy on “we’ll be able to blame them if they betray us” is ignoring all the other times this has happened with no consequences to the Republicans. And most of that was before the era of Trump opening up the gates. The line used to be “they’re saying it out loud” in response to them not being subtle about their goals. Now they’re shouting it loudly, and nothing is being done. We’re far past “working across the aisle” mentality.
And the comments are worse!! Someone will ask a simple question and get back three paragraphs of perfectly structured nothing that somehow says less than “idk man” would have.
You would have loved Usenet in the 90s. That’s how a lot of people are.
Getting them to all do it at once is the hard part. If only some do it, they sacrifice for little to no results. That’s why things are the way they are, to minimize organization and maximize the risk.
I wonder how the Republicans will vote. Hmmm.
What if Republicans were close to caving in due to all the pressure of things happening, and this loosened the noose? Should have held the line. We’ll just repeat this again in January, or worse.
For 1), they use “small government” as a campaign slogan, but they are in it solely for power. Same with “state’s rights”, unless they can’t benefit from states having those rights.
Who has private jets? There’s the answer. If anyone is going to suffer, it will be the commons first.
If anything the rest of our family has taken the lesson to heart to put into place things to protect their loved ones. And like you said, they could have done even a little to help themselves before it got too far, but for some reason they procrastinate, avoid or refuse help, and even lie and say they have everything worked out.
I hope your mom’s situation changes for the better to protect her, and you. If their relationship with each other is still good (some get toxic) I would push it hard and use some guilt and hypotheticals to get him to do something official if he cares for her at all. And if not… now might be a better time to cut loose than it being forced on her.
Some places are like that, and it makes sense. Others do not, and if there isn’t some formal paper connecting the two then they don’t get the benefits or penalties of making such commitment. I have a relative that lost their home of 35+ years because when the partner passed there was no mention in a will or any document of them contributing. Suddenly it wasn’t their place to live.
These two? I don’t know, but I can’t help think they are both using the other. I was just talking in general, as there are a lot of mixed faith relationships out there somehow.
If these two had an honest established relationship and he suddenly started talking to the public about how she should convert (and she obviously hasn’t), that’s definitely a betrayal of trust. But look who we’re talking about…
How can it be a healthy relationship when either or both sides thinks the other is probably condemned to some eternal punishment and yet is okay with them not believing. At least if one is atheist they can realize it’s just a belief and nothing more, but still… that person thinks you’re doomed and yet is fine with it, or conversely is trying to convert you all the time, which is its own issue.
And I presume popped up when opened. Then that suggests contamination prior to sealing, which is a little worse problem than damage during shipping or a bad sealing.
Oh yes, they’re all impactful. But given its dot was asked about, many may not know what significance Charlotte is vs. other well known major cities.
That’s going to be a mess. Big financial center.
Might have had one of those pop up buttons to show the seal is broken. Ideally a stocker would see it, or the customer when selecting it, but I wonder how many people look that closely.
The one that Trump is on? Yes.
Where’s the list?
No, not the list of airports affected. The other list. We haven’t forgotten, Donald.
This sounds ridiculous of course.
But so did a Trump run, it used to be a joke when he put his hat in.
No one is laughing now.
That’s why NC is also on the move to increase red seats.
Oh no, wait… that’s not connected, the NC GOP has always tried to find ways to cheat for power. Equal representation is a dangerous thing for Republicans.
