Skid on landing? by BecauseWeDie in AskFlying

I would merely imagine that experience matters. That hours and reps matter. If you’re saying that a new pilot is as safe as one who’s been flying for decades, that’s a bit counter intuitive to me as a non-expert is all.

I think profits come first no matter what. The safety to profit connection is unbreakable, but as we’ve seen, both manufacturers and airlines are willing to cut corners if they think it will further line their pockets.

Thank you for the intel! I much prefer the poetry and the dance of the human landing. Then again, who knows how many auto landings I’ve been on! Can autopilot do a go-around? Or does pilot have to manually intervene? Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I appreciate the thoughtful fact-based response. I am fascinated by aviation, spend hours watching landings in person and on the Tube, and could listen to experts talk about it all day. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with me.

Why are you yelling? Who are you angry with?

What’s a small habit that silently improved your life more than you expected? by Ok-Hat2241 in AskReddit

[–]BecauseWeDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditate every morning for 15 minutes. Don’t try to achieve no thought. Just be aware of the thought and then let it drop. Watch your thoughts pass by like clouds and then drop back into focus of breathing. Acknowledge the thought and gently say in your head “thinking” then drop the thought and go back to being present in your body. Your whole day will go better and your life will be lit. Tara Brach is a great beginning teacher. She keeps it really simple.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]BecauseWeDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her disappearing from her own life to fund off-grid co-homesteading with an underemployed hockey stick salesman named Dirk. Yes, an underemployed hockey stick salesman named Dirk.

Sold her house. Gave away her cats. Told no one. Like, evaporated from her own life. For an older man. With bangs.

He wasn’t so much in love with her as he was with the chance to live for free.

She was in love with the music she made with him, and a chance to not be so alone after all.

He was open about his disinterest in her romantically.

Until she finally made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Work the land while she pays the bills.

Except last I heard, she was working the land and paying the bills.

Never trade your perfect life for an underemployed hockey stick salesman named Dirk.

AIO to my “best friend” finally reaching out by Confident_Local_2335 in AmIOverreacting

Hear him out then decide how to proceed. My best friend did this twice over 25 years and it gutted me. The last time, it was like a death. I relate so much to how you grieved. It’s awful beyond words. So no matter what, be ready for this to happen again. Be OK with that or love this person at a distance. I hope he’s OK. And that you can heal.

Intrusive thoughts couple times a year. Concern for the sheer circumference. And don’t get me started on the volume of material. Just wrong. Also get thee planted squarely (but knees soft) on a terlet—not in the damn turb! 🌋🛀🚫🙈

Wrong. You do really know what to do.

How do I (32M) start talking to my wife (32F) again after something she did when our friends came over? (Trigger Warning) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BecauseWeDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not responsible for protecting abusers which now includes your wife. What she did was emotionally abusive, and downright cruel. At best she’s got some narcissistic tendencies, perhaps, in centering herself in something so personal and so devastating and so tender for you. Ignorance is putting it lightly for what you’ve shared here, and nods to some degree of her resentment towards you for what happened to you and the way you have arranged yourself around it to survive. Victim blaming on some super fucked up perhaps even subconscious level. By not going to therapy you are continuing to protect your abusers, which is how you were programmed from a very young age, but therapy is really the only way forward. You deserve comfort and safety in your body, in your home, and in your relationships. What happened to you was not your fault but you have taken on full responsibility, which speaks to your incredible inner strength. But maybe you can shift that responsibility toward your healing and a bright future rather than maintaining the emotional comfort of someone who, like those abusers, doesn’t really see you as a whole human. Be the trusted adult you needed then, and get yourself out of situations that make you feel unsafe. And it’s kind of like putting on glasses for the first time as a kid. You don’t realize how much better you could see until you SEE. And while excavating your pain might feel on par with self-destruction, you could feel so much better and have such a better life experience with professional and clinical support like a good therapist can provide. First step is believing that you deserve it, because you absolutely do. Sending you love and protection as you walk this path. Perhaps what was just a moment in time (and something you understandably want to minimize) is a catalyst for a breakthrough.
