Just count the dead, injured, displaced, starved, and dehydrated on either side. You’ll find pretty quickly the numbers are extremely disproportionate. If that’s a baseline consideration for your judgment then you should think on that.

Ok. I’m still going to omit it in the future.

Shit that’s how you grammar!?

Some people like it, which I’m happy for, they’re the ones who should have children. But it’s not for everyone and it shouldn’t be stigmatized. I will happily pay taxes to fund kinder care and school. I see the value in society for kids. Just not in my own home.

This is amazing!

In my mid 30’s. Find myself thinking the same. Also when I’m feeling great it’s “there’s no way i could be enjoying this if i had to worry about kids”

Yeah if/when my system fails me i might!

I use the site daily. Being able to download FREE CAD models in one click, nominal dimensions for nearly everything, and linked compatible components makes design so much simpler. I can swap a screw out in my assemblies in seconds. Other online hardware catalogs just don’t compare. It’s the perfect first draft resource.

If McMaster ever goes down it’s going to take twice as long to do any design.

Oh just watch in 20-30yr for when coffee is no longer affordable to us commoners. Gonna get rough for a while. Actually why my goal ia to live at least another 35 years. Want to see that hell and the fallout.

Enjoying a “career”. It seems once my financial survival is tied to something in it becomes an obligation instead of a novelty.

Could? Ehhh… Not really, at least while the economy is profitable. Liberals will do anything to stay in a union with their conservative colleagues. If we see wall street deteriorate then there’d be a real possibility.

Drive throughs at liquor stores

I mean, it’s the community that keeps people around. The rules and dogma push people who aren’t being served well by the community out.

So in group this is natural to say. But external, directed at religious peoples, it’s not going to do the work of bringing them into your community. It’s not welcoming and it serves to push people to build walls rather than promote a change in thinking.

So i think you’re right in the context of being in community with a believer, but the comment wasn’t about that to begin with.

Alternatively, it’s hard to see how much religion is pushed until you’re outside of it. It’s like the opposite of getting a new (to you) car or phone. When you are, all of a sudden you realize how saturated everything is with it. It’s like living off the end of the runway of an international hub airport, there’s no rest.

Mu desperate need to continue using arch.

More or less but person didn’t have gender because that wasn’t relevant to the subject which was the rolling ball. Ball also bounced a few times when hitting the floor.

Sirens of titan. Well, Vonnegut in general. His stories are fine, probably ground breaking for the time in the sense of exploration, but the characters have no depth. It’s like reading a book about npcs. Then there’s the misogyny. Women are simply livestock kept around for breeding in this one, worse than an afterthought.

I don’t think it’s valuable to read even from a historical standpoint. Wiki synopsis would be suggested.

Went from drunk to sober (wasted my beer) and woke up with my head feeling like a spike had been driven through it. 4/10

You accomplish years and years of intense, highly productive and rewarding work then this happens. It’s not about puckering up. Be curious. People have stated things like “depression” and “executive dysfunction”. You can look these up, there are plenty of resources.

This reads as ar anxious attachment and underdeveloped boundaries.

Your needs and wants are valid OP. You deserve autonomy in your own life.

Your friend, intentionally or not, seems to be manipulating you and taking advantage, and you seem to be enabling that.

You should discuss having a partner with them, and what that would look like. They should work with you to promote your needs and wants and fulfillment. That’s what friends do.

You have the best hard seltzer full stop. Also how’s USA cosplay day lately?
