Two things:
I find that if it’s too early/late or if you didn’t tell them what was expected, your results are suboptimal. Could just be your friends, though.
It’ll feel like playing undocked, I would imagine.
And it prevents “spur of the moment” decisions, like many successful suicides are.
It may prevent some, but at least some of the ones experiencing acute issues will still go for the immediate option. The bureaucracy of it will add a layer that I suspect will deter some. If it takes months or years, people are just going to find their own way.
I’m not suggesting that we just help any person right off the street. I think the government has duty of care once they are involved. I’m just saying the reality is that many will still choose not to take this alternative path.
100,000 people. With 100, they’ll just take as many as they can. With 100k, they just have to let the sea wash over them and hope they aren’t swept out with it.
The cardboard I don’t mind, it’s the packing pillows that I mind (better than the old fashion packing peanuts or bubble wrap, from a recycling perspective). I bring them to Publix for recycling because my local waste company doesn’t recycle most plastics. I suspect Publix isn’t either, but it’s better to try than to just throw them away.
If only Congress was literate on the issue.
Is that a potato or a turd?
I’m sure that generally that is true, but my brain tends to pick something from a show, movie, song, and play it on repeat for the entire time I’m asleep. This results in me having terrible sleep. I play a show or movie as I’m falling asleep and this doesn’t happen. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes. When I have a decent amount of sleep 6+ hours, I wake up refreshed using this method.
Again, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m saying there may be exceptions like mine.
I did not downvote you, because I don’t downvote people who are trying to have conversations/discuss topics.
Related to the use of an articulating arm for watching in bed, it was amazing when my neck and back were hurt and I needed to lay totally flat for a few days.
I find that my brain processes information better if my hands are also doing something. So, I use various fidget toys to help me concentrate during meetings.
Fuck… I switched to Brother last year.
I believe we determined that Jesus invented Buddha and Buddha invented VPNs. So, by extension we could say without Jesus, there would be no VPNs. Also, no corn chips.
This is the case with a lot of companies. Facebook didn’t turn a profit for 10 years or something that sounds equally crazy.
How much shit does your family go through that you need bylaws and a treasurer?
Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvati that Hagrid’s looking for you.
I think they’re saying that they are supposed to be (i.e., this doesn’t need fixing). If they “fix” it, the people will be afraid of the government.
This is why I say please and thank you to Alexa (also to model appropriate behavior for my young kids).
Pretty sure that could be the basis for a series of children’s novels that were eventually adapted into a trilogy (or more) of movies.
To add an additional perspective, it’s not that I dislike these people, some of them I love, but my time has so many asks as it is, and I just cannot maintain active relationships with that many people who have no other impact on my daily life. There are a few I would make time for when the opportunity comes around, but I can’t keep sustained things going with more than a few people. I say can’t, but what I mean is that I prefer to spend the vast majority of my time with my wife and kids, and I will use just about any amount of time that I can spare for parents, siblings, and their kids. I have a few friends who fit into the same group as the family. After that, it’s occasional messages, Christmas cards, and the rare visit/meet up. If you are there for the good, you should be prepared to be there for the bad, in my opinion. I cannot offer that to too many people beyond immediate family. Also, I certainly don’t have the money to support some of those folks through their rough patches, and saying “no” to people you care about sucks.
That’s a long-ass party. I would have eaten all of your cheese in that timeframe. All of it. Do you have anymore?
