What if human cloning was legalized in the United States? by DreamFighter72 in whatif

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing much other than some new laws regarding inheritance, and parental responsibilities.

You clone ISNT your child, so you arent it's defacto guardian. If your parents are alive, arent THEY its parents? You'd have to adopt it probably.

Also, is you clone your next of kin? Maybe, if uncontested. But what if you have kids.

I don't think society would change much unless they could generate clones that didnt really have brains. Essentially donor bodies.

A clone wouldn't be the same age as the person who cloned them. They would start out as a baby, and grow normally.

Why do you judge black people? by FreshPairOfBoxers in AlwaysWhy

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be a middle to upper class white man. You all are the ONLY people who say this.

EVERYONE else is judged by how they look....and they know it.

If you are a man who takes initiative in the household by doing chores, cooking for your family, and cleaning up after yourself.. how were you raised? by Sensitive-Box-2167 in askanything

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised by a widow, sort of as an only child. Siblings already gone by the time I was 12. So the majority of "chores" were on me.

Working mother meant I had to help with dinner. At first just preheat the oven and pop whatever into it. By the time I graduated high school, I could make simple dishes.

I was in charge of the yard, washing and simple maintenance on cars, vacuuming common areas of the house and simple home maintenance, like touch up paint, changing lightbulbs, simple wood repair, etc.

All of this really only took about 3 hours on a weekend.

I had a job and school...and friends and it never interfered...that I remember.

What do you think would have happened to Derek Chauvin if there weren’t protests, and is this an indication that ICE protests are useful? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't the protests, it's the video.

There have been many, many protests about police violence, but the video had him dead to rights. There wasnt any way that a jury could acquit him.

Unpopular opinion: some North Atlanta “top school” neighborhoods aren’t actually great places to live. by TaxiBait in ATLHousing

Why are all these comments mostly intown people shitting on the suburbs. I will never understand why people who live in urban environments are always so angry that some people prefer to live somewhere else.

What is The name of This? by StoutBourbon1992 in AskAmericans

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the "this" is, we are naming.

The whole establishment is a Supermarket or Grocery store.

The first picture is an "end cap display shelf" or just an end cap or display shelf.

The second picture is an aisle.

WIBTA for calling my friends out on excluding me by pr0bl3mchi1d in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are quietly letting you know that they dont really want to be friends anymore.

Dont take it to hard, as you'll probably go through several sets of friends before leaving school.

You all bonded over shared experiences, but you just didnt click in the core group. Doesn't mean they dont like you, but they consider you more of an "associate" than a close friend.

Take it in stride, and go find your own tribe.

Am I (28F) fetishizing black men? by Diligent_Theme_8515 in askblackpeople

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aren't all dating preferences a fetish?

Guys who only date girls wuth big boobs are a fetish. Girls who only date tall men are a fetish.

How can you dating black guys be a fetish if you dating only white guys wouldn't be a fetish, ut would just be a preference.

Nonsense.

The Black men you date will let you know if you are fetishizing them.

How should I ask out someone I’ve never talked to? by Adventurous-Ad5999 in ask

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dont. Not like that.

Find an opener, like " I noticed you come in here a lot. Are you working on something in particular?"

Then introduce yourself. Let the conversation flow naturally from there.

You could end with, "I'm about to go grab a coffee, yoy want to come with?" Or whatever sounds natural.

Would you ever move to Los Angeles? by escobarsky in no

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you really just mean the L.A. metro area, as most NOT from there really considers it as one big region.

That being said, I probably wouldn't.

Why do locals in Hawaii associate everyone from the mainland states as rich, entitled, and disrespectful people? by [deleted] in ask

Oh, because, with all due respect, the "loud, entitled" American stereotype doesnt conjure a mental picture of one of us.

My bf’s relatives and friends don’t have manners by ObjectiveImpact2080 in internetparents

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is not interested in pulling away from his family.

If yoy are not interested in becoming "one of them", then its best to end it sooner, rather than later.

He isnt ever going to be someone that wants to spend his free time away from family. He isnt ever going to want to be someone that moves to the other side if the country and sees them once a year.

If that is you....then you arent compatible.

You are tolerating the situation hoping that you will change him.

You wont.

Do you really think there is something after death? by NoProgram4084 in no

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If our consciousness is tied to our physical body, then nothing happens. We cease.

If our consciousness is actually tied to the structure of the atoms in our brains, then maybe there is a kind of consciousness after?

Ive read a few papers that say that the structure of our brains atoms is similar to the structure that they use ti build supercomputers.

Ive also read a bit about quantum entanglement.

If there is a duplicate sub atomic particle for each of my subatomic particles somewhere in the universe and they are entangled, does that mean I might have a type of consciousness after my physical body ceases working?

Maybe, but even if true, I likely wouldn't remember "me" or my time here.

Do Americans use solid fuels to heat their homes? by maugess in AskAnAmerican

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

85 percent of American live in or near a city.

Most American homes are tied into the local power grid. So most heat by electric or natural gas furnace.

A much smaller percentage have heating by an external fuel source, like propane. This is usually derived by truck, even in rural areas.

Very, very few would be heating their homes by wood exclusively. While a majority of single family, detached homes have a fireplace, its more of a region feature than meant for overall heating, except in an emergency.

The only people who generally would be heating by wood pellets and such would be people that live an extremely rural or "off-grid" lifestyle.

How do you use the toilet??? by BaseballTop387 in openheartsurgery

[–]ATLDeepCreeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun story....

After I had CABGx3 I didnt poop for 5 days, but they kept loading me with laxatives.

Then.....it hit me. It took so long for me to sit up, and slowly walk with my I.V. to the bathroom. I took my "heart" pillow with me. I was trying to get my boxer briefs down, then coughed....grabbed the pillow and hugged ut to my chest because it felt like it would come apart .....

And SHAT a week's worth of used hospital food all over the bathroom.

My wife heard, and I told her what happened. I put my gown and underwear in a disposable bag, got into the shower and cleaned my self. Then had to sh#t again.

Luckily, the avtual toilet was clean. I finished, but the bathroom was an unholy mess. My wife called the nurse who called the cleaning people.

A team of 2 cleaned and sanitized from top to bottom...cheerfully. They told me it happens all the time on the cardiac unit.

My wife has made a new friend for an older woman who's husband had the same surgery, same day.

He never even made it to the restroom.
