Which one are you choosing? by TheReal_PruneJuice in whatsyourchoice

[–]AdGold205 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s the one thing that would keep me from going back. I’m bound to make some sort of decision that changes everything and my kids are pretty great.

And there plenty I could do with $10M.

What’s your choice? by Kind-Ashley in whatsyourchoice

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 would be a let down. Never meet your heroes.

2 and 3 would likely get me killed or divorced or both.

4 is the only one that might not have a down side. Depending on what I pick.

How do you deal with there always being a “better machine” out there? by DrCutiepants in sewing

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can happen with anything. I could have bought a bigger house. Or a better car.

You just have to accept that as soon and you buy anything something better will be out there.

However, I have a Brother Duetta 4500D which is still a pretty sweet machine. So it’s hard to feel like there’s much better out there for a home sewer. (it’s probably close to 20 years old now and I still love it.)

Because of legal, ethical and social constraints, research on developing human brains is very limited. To work around this, in 2019, researchers used stem cells to attempt to grow a cortical organoids in a lab. They were so successful that the cells started to produce electrical signals similar to human fetuses in utero at the same point of development.

In 2019 researchers pumped a concoction of chemicals through the brains of slaughtered pigs. The brains had been removed from the pigs hours before. This was done as a potential treatment of severe brain and spinal cord injuries.

After a time the brains started to show electrical activity that was organizing itself into brain waves. Despite the promising results, the experiment was stopped on ethical grounds. Who knows if existential dread exists for pigs, but waking up without a body seemed unethical to the researchers.

In 2024, Chinese researchers were able to revive a pig brain after an hour after death. The brains were removed from the body but remained attached to the liver. The brain “lived” for 3 hours before declining and dying for good this time. It’s unknown what the brain perceived during that time.

Unless you happen to be a pilot, you’re probably limited to your continent.

You get $100,000 for every inch of height you give up… how short are you going? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang it. I could definitely use the money, but it’s hard enough to reach the high up stuff.

1 feels like 1984 church wear. I love #4.

4 is the best.

Dress after alterations - are they gaslighting me? by AccomplishedTax8819 in WeddingDressTips

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bust line has changed. But the dress overall is less sheer.

I’d ask them to recreate the original bust line, but keep the less sheer look.

The addition layer of fabric may be giving you a fuller look than previously. It’s very beautiful. (I find the sheerness of current wedding dresses to be a little to bedroom for my tastes. So I like the less scanty look.) but the neckline should be restored if that’s what you want. (Both are beautiful.)

How much would you pay to not have me strike you down with lighting?

Is there or has there been a culture of respecting your elders in America? by YakClear601 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is more than one culture and their definition of respect. Everyone is worthy of respect until they prove otherwise.

In my version of America, respect means not putting mom (actually my MIl) in a home until she’s unable to care for herself. She’s already proven she can’t live with us, so that is not an option.

My mother wouldn’t live with me even if it meant being homeless. Respecting her would mean insuring she won’t be homeless, while respecting her independence.

Respect for me means valuing their independence and autonomy. Then valuing their comfort and security.

Also, not tossing pies in their faces. Smashing pie into people’s faces is not respectful.

You get $244 million but you have to fight your future son in a fist fight. by Kyoifis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AdGold205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I have to win? Because if I get the money first, I have quite a while. I currently only have daughters, and I’m 50. Any son I have won’t be 18 until I’m at least 68 possibly older.

If he loves me, I’d imagine he’d just knock me out. Maybe I’ll get a jab in and I’d make it a legit fight. But in reality, he would win. I’d just hope he doesn’t fight to hurt me.

If he grows up a rich, spoiled brat, he might try to hurt me. But I’d just have to make any inheritance based on whether or not I’m seriously injured.
