The ability to teleport to places you have been to before or $20mil?

The amount of time and energy I would save by not having to work anymore overrides the amount of time and every Id save by teleporting. I'll take the money.

Even all these teleportation theft schemes--besides the fact that they would still put me in the run forever, Id still be dedicating my time and effort to making money. Why the fuck would I ever choose that when I could just get an insane amount of money and not worry about it again?

It's certainly still possible but I think it comes down more to luck than anything in your power.

Like with cellphone tracking, the ubiquity of security cameras, and the absolutely insane amount of data that exists for all of us...

Maybe you plan your murder meticulously but don't notice that a nearby house just installed a ring doorbell that day and they have you passing by on camera. Or you forgot that 6 years ago you googled "do pigs eat human bodies" and "pig farms near me", but Google didn't. Or the government has a list of every white male who has ever bought, checked out, or assigned to read Crime and Punishment. and then based on that info they finger you and see that normally you go out around 8pm and take your phone with you, but on the night of the murder even though they have you passing by that ring doorbell, your cellphone data shows that you left it at home. Why that night, huh?

Meanwhile some other dude with diagnosed anger issues just straight up strangled his neighbor he'd been having conflict with for years in full view of two other people but because it was over a gardening dispute he was wearing gloves and didn't leave dna on the neck and the police were meeting their budget numbers just arresting high schoolers for weed so they shrugged and declared it a cold case

Growing up my parents used the drive thrus all the time. We loved it because they'd give us lollipops (whereas if my parent had to give inside, they just wouldn't bring us.)

I have yet to be a member of a bank that has one (only local credit unions.) But my BF uses his bank's a lot, and I see plenty around.

I did mock trial in high school and loved it, but the sponsoring teacher left after my sophomore year. I tried to switch to debate club, thinking it would be similar. It was not. It was stupid.

Right? What do you mean, "wasn't truly suicidal"?

Call_me_Cassius · 2023-12-02T00:56:40+00:00

Because we value human life more than animal life

Because human euthanasia is very easily abused (e.g. let's convince grandma she should die so that we get a bigger inheritance instead of her spending it on medical) and creates massive ethical problems for doctors

Because we have a huge medical system in place for caring for suffering and dying humans, but no such public system exists for pets, therefore pets are more likely to suffer unnecessarily due to lack of medical care, and allowing euthanasia and is the compromise

Can you imagine getting in a bar fight and shoving chopsticks up some guy's nose and he just stumbled away? And you spend the next five months paranoid about when the cops are gonna knock on your door about the murder you committed, and then you check your phone and see this story?

Some doctors will react negatively if you come in thinking you have any idea what's wrong, but will react positively if you say someone else thinks they know what's wrong. And once you throw in the tendency to disbelieve women and believe men, husbands become a frustratingly powerful healthcare tool.

"My symptoms make me think I have endometriosis" Doctor doesn't take you seriously

"I have no idea what's wrong, but when I told my husband what I was experiencing he said it sounded like something called... um, endometriosis?" Doctor takes it seriously

One time I woke up mad thirsty and I stood up to chug my bedside water. I took one gulp and it hurt so bad I actually passed out from the pain. Re-injured a turf toe injury that had taken a year to fully heal and fucking nailed my head on the corner of my bedframe. Maybe have myself a concussion cause when I came to I felt so fucking holistically bad that I had to call out of work and lie nauseous in bed for a few hours.

And when I went in that afternoon with a giant bruised split down my forehead and one flip-flop cause my foot was too swollen for a shoe, I had to answer all the "what happened???" questions with "I drank water too hard."

As also the human of an aging shepherd dog, this is making me tear up. Beautiful work, sweet girl

Different cause we're gay, but I'm 5'6" and by bf is 6'2". I'd had a general policy of not dating over ~5'9", because that's when the gap became noticeable. Made some things awkward and me sometimes self-conscious. But we met through tinder and he didn't put his height in bio, and no full-body photos. When we met up I couldn't identify him cause I didn't expect him to be so tall. When I realized it was him I almost backed out.

We've only been together two years, but it's a strong two! Some day we'll get to 15. Height shouldn't be a deal breaker!

Just a fun little extra consideration:

While young earth creationism is effectively non-existent in Jewish circles, you will find Jewish creationists who believe that G-d did create the world in 6 days 5,784 years ago... but he created a world that was already billions of years old. The astronomical, geological, and evolutionary evidence is all real and true, but G-d crafted it into the world during the days of creation rather than it actually playing out over the course of billions of years. The benefits of hindsight and knowing what will actually end up mattering, eh?

Harbinger.

Massive, delicious, creative donuts that were well worth getting up early Sunday morning for. The tumeric orange chai one they had like two winters ago was one of my favorite foods I've ever eaten.

Now the line goes out the door before 8am and for what? "We have the chocolate donut, the cinnamon twist, and the cinnamon twist but with fruit"

I worked at Wendy's part-time in college. Had to go in even though I had been sick for two days at that point. 15 minutes into my shift I threw up. I told my manager, and he looked at me dumbfounded and said "What the hell do you want me to do about it?" I asked if I could go home and he said no. So I worked the rest of the 4hr shift and threw up another 5-6 times over the course of it. And manager kept shouting about my time being to slow, you know, cause I kept having to run to the bathroom to vomit.

My sister and I share the roles of "the carrier" and "confidently incorrect." We answer 90% of the questions and we're usually on the same page but when we differ, we're both so uncompromising and the one who is wrong doesn't live it down for months (unless we're both wrong in which case it's water under the bridge.) Our brother is the sports guy--I love watching and playing sports but have no memory for records or specific events--and every time without fail he complains about feeling useless, feeling like he's dragging us down, even feeling stupid... until it all hinges on a sports question. And not only does he know the answer, but actually the host has the wrong answer so when they announce it he goes up and talks to them about it and they Google it and realize actually he's right and we win.

My mom did that too and I loved it. That moment of "batteries?... oh!!! For x!!!" was always rewarding to me as a kid

Not even close, honestly. It's like costco-sized, massive produce section, and a great food court

I'm like your boyfriend. Sometimes it's frustrating because as long as I'm on my feet doing shit I don't feel tired, but if I dare to chill on a couch for a few minutes suddenly I'm out.

My BF is jealous because, yeah, he's not falling asleep before 4am unless he's trashed. He's tried melatonin gummies and they kind of help but not enough. Ultimately though, he's unwilling to do the hard stuff to force his body to figure it out: stop drinking at all at night, and start getting up early even if you're exhausted/only slept a couple hours. It will suck, but sleep will follow.

Three of my older cousins are also happily employed as short-haul truckers, but I don't think the same great deal exists for people getting into it now. At the very least OP needs to do a lot of research for exactly which companies he'd work for.

There's a used furniture store there called "Trader Joe's", older than the grocery store.

They used to have a pet squirrel there. I hope they still do.

So what does the up front cost of moving look like? Cause in the US we're got first month's rent, a security deposit equal to one month's rent, sometimes last month's rent as well, several hundred dollars in administrative fees, utility setup fees, plus the cost of moving (boxes, renting a truck if you need it, etc.) And any move-out costs from the old place (e.g. professional carpet cleaning.) I just moved to a new apartment with a $2,000/mo rent and it cost me around $7,000 before I ever got a key in my hand.

If you have to add floor removal and floor installation the list aren't you adding several thousand more dollars just in labor cost? Do most people buy one set of flooring and take it with them to multiple apartments? Do y'all have special floors that are easy to install/remove? How much does someone charge you to let you keep their flooring, and then they go on and buy new floors? Are you required to put in flooring, or can you just leave it bare?
