Blame the Romans.
Both words are derived from late Latin mentalis, from Latin mens, ment- ‘mind’.
YES!
UK lawmakers - please take note also. Not just in cities but we find them jammed up in our country lanes too, and regularly crossing the centre line on B-roads.
If you know, you know.
Known 35 years next month. Married 35 years in November.
after our kid was born she said I smelled differently and she was repulsed by me.
Oh, man, that’s brutal.
Thanks, but from context, it almost certainly is what they meant.
It’s not /just/ about colour. Plenty of white people are being detained illegally. The only way to be certain not to be illegally detained in the US is not to visit the US. Sadly, not an option for many people who are already there.
It’s dangerous. People are a 35 times more likely to be killed by guns than my country.
Some people are just shittier than others. What they look like on the outside has no bearing on their inner beauty.
X, for all the reasons.
Every morning we wake up with the ability to change who we are and how we act and react.
If you’re sincere, you’ll use that to improve who you are tomorrow.
If you’re truly sorry, you’ll do something extra to help others in some way and address the karma imbalance you’ve caused. Apologise to those people you hurt. (Trust me, it will mean something to them) Find ways to help others survive bullying. Make anonymous donations to the places you stole goods from.
Cloudflare are the cheapest domain registrar since they take zero profit from the sale. You will not find anywhere cheaper. (If you do, then look very carefully for hidden charges since that registrar will be subsidising your domains)
They’ve got some pretty useful free tools to help you manage it, and use it effectively too.
(For the Cynical, CF’s MD was very open about why they don’t charge for domains - it’s to get your goodwill. The only restriction is you can’t use third party nameservers for domains you host with them for free, you have to use CF’s. I’ve never found that a problem in many years of both private and commercial domain hosting there)
I did this and regretted it.
Many professional services withhold their number for obvious reasons. Turns out my doctor was trying to contact me and couldn’t.
Great, but that doesn’t really help OP.
I’m not American, but CVE’s absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.
Coo - I’m a big David Mitchell fan and never even heard of this. Thank you.
I’m not going to answer your question directly - others have done that already.
I will say that, as an older man, my brain has thrown up random things from my childhood multiple time, so the same may happen for you. I’m no psychologist, and I’m also late-diagnosed autistic, but it seems that the brain can lock away memories from that period because it didn’t know how to process them. Then, much later in life, it’ll dig one up, dust it off, and put it at the forefront of your mind and say, “Go on then, you’re all grown up and know so much now, what about this then?”
This has happened to me at times of trauma (like I didn’t have enough to deal with at that time already - and may be the same for you with your OCD), but also at times of peace. I had a traumatic childhood which I won’t go into, but it’s provided a rich seam of suppressed and painful memories to randomly spit out and obsess over throughout my life.
I think my point in writing this is… Just to say that you’re not alone in having random thoughts from your past take over, and that overall I don’t think it means much that it’s come back to mind.
Kind of - a personal website that I post articles on for various things. I like to share what I’ve learned, but it never gets much interest and less now. It’s something I’ve been doing in various forms for over two decades.
It’s only true if it’s enforced, isn’t it?
