Al Franken was pressured out of congress for a bunch of spurious ‘sexual’ allegations before he had a chance to defend himself. Mostly 'holding a waist wrong during a photo op or accusations of unwanted kissing, but with scant details and mostly presented as misunderstandings. Hell, most of them sounded like someone considering regular photo op posing to be scandalous as none of the allegations included someone saying he was being coy or hinting that it was intentional, just 'bumped a body part that is common during a photo op and that he held still while the photo was being taken…

Yes, we should trust accusers long enough to look into issues, but that doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t be able to defend themselves against the allegations. Franken was railroaded out of congress by Dems before he had a chance to defend himself.

No, I understand that there are multiple things that you are conflating because they have some overlap.

The op was talking about how the friend wasn’t living in the moment prior to knowing they were going to die.

He never took the time to live in the moment and just enjoy his life.

Living in the moment is not limited to blowing your savings on frivolous things. It also includes focusing on the free or inexpensive things we do every day like spend time with family and friends or even just enjoying some free entertainment.

It is about not worrying so much about everything else that you ignore the positives that are happening right now.

And I guess working on yourself and trying to improve aren’t exactly attractable qualities.

They are if you are successful, but not everyone who works on themselves is successful. Some people are also attracted to problematic people instead of someone who would actually be a good partner.

In my case, I hit a point where I decided that I was picking the bad partners and needed some time to figure out why. By not dating ot hooking up for a couple of years, I became more self aware and ended up attracting way more attention by just being comfortable with myself which led to being a better person because I no longer blamed others or myself. Understanding and changing for the better is better than blaming and not doing anything to change.

That doesn’t mean someone is guaranteed to then suddenly find a partner and get on with relationships. It just increases the odds.

It is incredibly hard to fold a 2 or 3 egg omlette in half in my experience. The fold ends up pushing even a small amount of filling out unless I get lucky.

I could see a much larger circle folding easier.

Yes

In the long, long ago times we had these things called libraries where books were checked out and accessible by using a card. Finding out factual information could take a bit of time depending on how obscure it was, but librarians were very helpful in finding things.

Otherwise stuff was mostly passed on by word of mouth and people tended to believe whoever said stuff with the most confidence. So like today’s social media, but slower and mostly in person.

The fact that you aren’t aware is a good sign that mods/admins are doing their jobs.

I think the few experiences by trolls here from other communities is more of a walled garden thing, and if world has a more inclusive mix this would solve a lot of issues .

You say be more inclusive of tankies and I say learn about the paradox of tolerance.

Yeah, we can determine a floor but no upper limit.

If I drive my wife to the hispital instead of taking an ambulance becsuse of the worry about cost and she died on the way it would be due to the industry but wouldn’t be counted against them in any statistic.

It is just fucking wrong. AI isn’t a living thing that is comparable to a person or animal, or even a plant. It is wrong a lot and that is because it has no motivation or reality or anything like that. It is pattern matching that is not reliable for factual results, and sometimes the results are just wrong.

Well made cold weather clothing, including boots. Yes, you can spend more than is necessary, but if it gets cold enough then buying the well made stuff is always worth the money compared to buying cheap stuff.

It is basically cold weather safety gear.

Obvious problem is obvious.

Are you shitting me?

The first Tremors is 100% a great movie. Up there with the first Predator and Alien movies.

If I choose to do something later, put it physically in the way.

Trash needs taking out, but I’ll do it in the morning? Put it in front of the door.

It is both a reminder and an obstacle to overcome.
