Yep, I was literally coming in to say that Skype was trashed the instant Microsoft bought it.

In my defense, your honor, I did not consider that someone would intentionally do this until I read your response.

There is a North America, and there is a South America,

Those are two separate continents.

You can check on any map of continents and that will show you that this is true information.

One could even say America is two continents.

It’s because crypto isn’t actually money. It’s just something somebody might give you money for.

In theory, you can walk to your nearest forest and collect pine cones and then sell them to people.

That’s about the same as crypto, only pine cones are actually useful.

I mean, given how much money she has, she could actually have a mattress with a divot specifically for her ass.

I don’t think they mean clinical diagnosis, more of like an interpersonal diagnosis.

I believe they are just asking for how to identify red flags.

I’ve been wary of labels because it seems like shorthand for actually getting to know a person.

That skill can be handy if you’re frequently meeting a lot of people, sure, but a person who is quick to attach a label to somebody that they didn’t attach to themselves first has no interest in getting to know that person, and their label should not automatically be accepted as correct.

I’ve known quite a few people who were labeled as weird by the unofficial group leader who turned out to just have interests that the group leader wasn’t interested in and was otherwise a perfectly normal person.

A lot of people missed out on their friendship because of that label.

If my dick is out, I’ve already won.

Crudely burned gasoline in the late spring, only because it reminds me of being on my grandmother’s old army jeep and going down to the creek to swim.

Get it in writing.

Verbal promises are not worth the paper they are written on.

Make sure to include A minimum amount of time and notice to cancel the contract, as well as a requirement for complaints on either side needing to also be written and signed by the other party.

Add a rule to extend the required tasks as new things come up in writing, And add in a disclaimer that if it’s not written down and signed by both parties, it’s not a requirement.

Include an out for failure to perform on both sides, on your roommates side for failing to pay the rent and on your side for failing to do the housework to a satisfactory standard.

Give yourself both easy outs that give you each enough time to adjust if something happens. And also write down on the paper that maintaining your friendship is the reason you’re writing the contract.

I know it sounds silly, but Contracts like this are meant to help establish the rules and make things easier.

In many parts of America, $1750 a month after taxes is like a part-time job. In other parts of America, $1750 a month is a full-time job.

Make sure that your roommate does not feel like they are overpaying for what they get, or that they have bitten off more than they can chew.

I would say that you should include something along the lines of If your roommate cannot or does not want to continue the contract, they have to give you enough time, (I would say like six weeks) to start paying rent again, And include that during that change over time, you will still continue to perform the work you have agreed to in the contract.

Either which way it goes, best of luck.

I would say that any… if the people live in a group or a society that is religion-based, and that religion requires it, then I am not against infant circumcision.

Basically, if you were born to Jewish parents living in Israel or Palestine or born to Muslim parents living in a Muslim-run country, then yes, participate in the culture that you were born in.

But, like in America, where every single person decides their own faith for themselves and only the most culty stay in this same religion that their parents were in, infant bodily autonomy outside of life-saving procedures should be the rule.

It seems to happen less often in Europe, but wouldn’t hurt to add that as a rule there, too.

At least wait until the kid is 13 years old as a minimum.

I can definitely get behind that. Like, if you read the Bible, especially some particular chapters, there’s a lot of old man yells at clouds vibes.

“I will cuteth off the member of him who pisseth against the wall”

Doesn’t really sound like a god thing. It would be very weird for the ruler and creator of the universe to get really, really fucking mad that any person who pees on a wall anywhere, regardless of the situation, should have their dick cut off.

It kind of sounds more like, you know, one of the leaders of a community is writing down laws and threatening to cut a bunch of boys’ dicks off because they keep peeing on walls and stinking the place up rather than using appropriate facilities.

I wish we had accurate historical records of the time, so I could see if this was ever actually enacted. Like, how much would it suck to be that guy?

Walking home late from the bar, you gotta take a whiz, you piss, the cops catch you, and like three hours later, your penis is lying in the trash.

And, I mean, talk about disproportionate response, like, did the concept of community service not exist? Like, what the fuck?

Then there was one phrase about, do not go and shave the sides of your beard, something something yada yada, and it reads like a protest against the kids and their fashion.

There’s lots of stuff where if you have the capacity to take the one mental step to say that every single word in the book may not have been written by God himself, but instead the texts chosen to be in the bible contain a historic medium of communicating laws, rules, and regulations that made sense at the time, inspired by God and definitely containing some legitimate things that were directly written by the Holy Spirit, but also invariably containing some information that was derived from that original mandate.

I mean, even the whole thing about the Sabbath, it was more a nicety to say, even God rested, you should rest too. You should have at least one day off a week where you’re not beholden to labor for somebody else, where you can enjoy life.

I highly doubt that God is throwing people into hell for working on the Sabbath. I get that it’s special to God because he rested for a day, which is something he had otherwise not done throughout existence. But at the same time, why torment someone forever for just working one extra day out of our comparatively very short lives?

I don’t know. I can rant forever. I’m sorry, I’ll stop here, but yeah.

My favorite one is do not boil a calf in its mother’s milk, which has been interpreted to mean no cheese or butter on beef.

Which means that cooking and eating a bacon cheeseburger yourself after sundown *on a friday while wearing cotton underwear and polyester pants is 4 sins, 3 of which are burger

That was not obvious. I’m glad I procrastinated and haven’t bought Proton yet.

How does that jive with your saying that they don’t support the Trump administration?

I don’t support companies that support the Trump administration. You said they don’t, and then the very next post you say that they do. What the fuck?

You’re saying that nobody else in the family matters even though they’ve already decided to keep the child.

Relatively is carrying a lot of weight there.

Their 28-year-old son may not have much to do with the fact that they are having another kid, but that fully grown adult man is still a part of the family and should count for something.

There’s no need to just completely and totally toss him out of the equation.

Especially when you consider that there is a possibility, depending on the age of the girlfriend, that both of them could die before this child reaches the age of majority, in which case, he would likely need to step in to finish the job.

Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there’s a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

I feel like this is one of those things where, even though there is a likelihood that you are right, you don’t actually know that you are correct.

People are weird.

People are occasionally evil, especially towards weird people.

There’s an entire possibility that atheists have stoned somebody to death, and since you’re the one making the claim, I feel like you should be the one to scour every single instance of death in all of human history to verify your claim.
