They're mad at you because you made jokes of a serious issue that only exists because the US is a dumb pace where guns have more rights than kids. If it were anywhere else it would just be an edgy joke. In the US it's like dressing up in an SS uniform to a Holocaust convention.... A little too edgy...

I think the owners assume that no one has been a dick in the last 5 years, and hope it means no one will be a dick for the next 5 either. It seems like you're getting close though so maybe take a different road so you avoid the temptation of stealing a cat since it seems unusually strong in you.

If you already know the answer you can tell the AI the answer as part of the question and it'll give you the right answer.

That's what you sound like.

AI people are as annoying as the Musk crowd.

Yeah. I had a dad that didn't get laid too. Sex is in the bottom layers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, then intimacy is up higher as well. If you're not getting these things you're not going to be able to hide them. Your kids won't know why until they're much older WHY your not happy, but that is a sadness of the soul that nothing can hide.

You ever see one of your friends the day after they get laid and you just know. That's a kind of joy from having your needs met that you can't fake.

You're teaching your kids it's OK with someone who doesn't meet your needs. It's not.

Be with someone who makes you happy. Let your wife do the same. Show your kids what a happy marriage and happy parents look like so they can model their relationships that way. Don't continue the cycle.

It's better to show your kids what is like to be happy and have your needs met than to show them being miserable and setling. Especially on their behalf.

Which would you rather for your kids?

Which are you showing your kids by example?

I'm not sure there are people so unrecoverable that they need a lifetime in solitary. I'm fact I'm not sure how you pass the cruel and unusual criteria with that. Even in super max prisons for people who WANT to go out and kill strangers for example, they are able to regularly socialize and exercise and have mental stimulation. So no I don't think there are a lot of people where spending extra money to kill them would be "more humane". Seems more like a straw man/hypothetical than a practical reality.

Well it always costs more, in the US Justice system, to execute someone than to keep them in prison for life. So that alone throws out the utilitarian approach. We're all paying extra just to kill him now than if we just kept him locked up for life because he might be a direct threat to everyone and not be rehabilitated.

You can't even make real improvements until you accept who you are. Trying to improve without accepting your current situation creates a self improvement debt that'll catch up to you and undermine your work.

The comment about your wife is related to his comments about you beating him and breaking his arm. He's decided you're abusive and are part of the reason his childhood was so messed up. It probably helps him cope with a few things. For example he doesn't feel guilty when he abuses you or your mom's hospitality or generosity because you owe him. Anyways he decided that you're abusive and so you probably beat up your wife worse than he does. It's self protective, if you're worse than him (he assaulted his wife and you kill yours) then he can still be a good guy in his own mind by comparison.

He sounds pretty fucked up honestly, and his coping mechanisms are maladaptive. If you want to help him, reach out occasionally to let him know you're there. Don't give him money or things or a place to stay. He doesn't see you as a role model, he sees you as someone who owes him Infinity for what you've done, meaning he can abuse you in significant ways and it's all fair in his mind. You owe him for what you did.

If he ever realises that he's the problem in his life, and that to make his life better he needs to BE better, only then can you help him.

You can't help someone be better if they don't want to be better.

Dude that's not even close to the most insane part. They expect one in every 8 humans on the whole earth to play EVERY DAY.

I think it's desktop only, but I rarely use the mobile brave app.

Yeah 0- 49% is an F 50-59 is a D 60-69 is a C 70-79 is a B 80-89 is an A 90-100 is an A+

It means that 10-20% of exams and assignments can be used to really challenge students without unfairly affecting grades of those who meet curriculum expectations.

 

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

 

The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line

Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions

So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?

We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.

So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!

If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.

They really think we're idiots.
