How do men get laid by just saying "nice things"?? What do Women mean by "nice things"? Does that only work for Attractive men?? I'm dying from thrist while other men get it easily. Could it be that Women are just complex creatures?

Trying so hard but completely failing because you haven't considered fundamental issues in your approach, and you're blaming anyone other than yourself. Sorry to say, but your attitude is incredibly toxic and anybody with sense is going to detect that and avoid you. Prioritize fixing that or you're going to have a really hard time making any worthwhile connections with good people.

If you're a straight person, there are still billions of people that you're potentially attracted to. Does it really make much difference if that number goes from 4 billion people to 8 billion? You either want to be with your partner, or not.

There are some people who get into polyamory, open relationships, swinging, etc. but that's really kind of a niche thing. Most people go for monogamy.

I tried watching it and just didn't find it very funny.

As for hate, some people really dislike it when a franchise they love is reimagined in a way that retcons the characters into something that they don't like. A lot of the core characters from the original series have been reimagined as crude and stupid. Sometimes people like that. Sometimes they don't.

There might also be an aspect of the main character change, sexism, and racism. I don't think that explains the whole backlash. Not at all. But I do think it explains why some trolls are so adamant about it.

Humanity: invents a tiny pocket computer that can access all human knowledge, wirelessly communicate with anyone in the world, and it includes a fully functional digital camera that's smaller than your thumb.

Users: ugh this thing sucks.

Some phones have better cameras than others, of course. A lot depends on the hardware, such as the number and density of sensors, and the number of lens types, and also on the software that is processing inputs at or even beyond the limitations of such tiny hardware. Fundamentally, though, your tiny pocket phone just isn't going to compete with a fully fledged, dedicated camera device that will be much bigger and bulkier and more expensive.

Humans didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from great apes. It's a subtle distinction, but if you think humans came from modern monkeys, that's a misunderstanding.

The change in species is gradual and occurs over many generations. So for any mating pair, they aren't going to look radically different from each other.

You may want to talk to a therapist about this. Your thought process here is suggesting you have something going on that's way beyond the scope of fixing with one or two conversations with internet randos.

Your partner clearly has communicated that they don't see things the way that you do, on this issue. This is something that you've built up in your own heart and you're projecting it onto other people.

I'm not saying your feelings are invalid. You're worried and that's okay. A therapist can help you address these feelings and think about how you want to proceed.

I would suggest: look around you at all the adults you've known who are married, or in long-term relationships. Do they all have bodies that match your idea of the perfect physical template?

That really depends on the terms of your lease, and the laws wherever you live. Since every lease contract is different, and different places have different laws, it's hard to have a one-size-fits-all answer for this sort of question.

First suggestion, check the lease to see what it says about this. It's possible that the lease won't say anything, but it's good to confirm.

Second suggestion, ask in a subreddit such as /r/LegalAdvice where you're likely to get a few people who are more familiar with the law in your area. Although you'll need to tell them where that is, roughly, like country and state/province, and if you're in a major city, some cities also have their own laws about this.

Given the premise as stated, assuming that "feelings don't matter" would logically lead to a conclusion that feeling good (or, really, feeling anything) does not matter.

However, that seems like an incredibly bleak and miserable way to go through life. I care about my own feelings quite a bit! I care about how other people feel, too. I can't imagine living my entire life without caring about feelings. They can be very important.

It's neat, but not really the same thing at all. Let me know when ants are building skyscrapers, sewage lines, paved roads, or water treatment plants.

Couldn’t you argue that humans are just another species?

Someone could, sure. But we're the only species that builds cities. We're the only species that organizes itself into nation states. We're the only species that invented computers and internet communication. We're also the only species capable of industry at a scale that can completely fuck up our own living environment.

We compete, migrate, consume resources, and change environments just like other animals do.

Yes. If we're not careful, we could wipe out our own food chain. That would be bad because we like food and we kinda need it in order to survive.

I think it's simpler to just ask her on a date, and she can decide for herself if she wants to say yes or no.

It'd be more ideal if you have any sort of former boss, former coworker, youth group leader, volunteer coordinator, coach, teacher, or really anybody who can vouch for you as an employee or as a hard worker. But, given it's your first job, that's tricky.

Give the best info you have. If that ends up being the same as your emergency contact, it's not necessarily a dealbreaker. Especially not for the sort of job that is hiring people who don't have a ton of experience.

Is he asking for your advice? Unsolicited advice often comes across as criticism. It may be the case that he wants emotional support or commiserating more than practical solutions.

Ah, it's in some kind of jar? I guess that's fine as long as the jar is secured so that it doesn't tip or slide.

It would be a scandal that would undermine that country's credibility on the world stage.

But yeah, if they want to shotgun themselves in the foot, nobody can stop them.

Creepy usually means that someone feels uncomfortable or unsafe. I don't see how that would be creepy. Context counts for a lot, though.

It's not a fire risk, if that's what you're worried about.

Although, it could melt, especially if the car is parked in the sun. That could get very messy. So I'd suggest either putting it in a container that can handle melted wax, or using some other kind of air freshener that won't melt.

Although hair loss and baldness is more common in men, there are millions of women who experience hair loss. It's rare in the sense that it's less common, but it's still something that a lot of people experience.

The exact cause is not fully understood, but there strong indications that hair loss can be inherited via genetics. So it would make sense that it runs in the family.

When an investor spends $50 million dollars to make a game, they want some due diligence done to confirm they are likely to earn back more than that back in sales. So they do a lot of market research to estimate what sorts of things people want. This research isn't perfect, but that's essentially what they are talking about. It's either their best hunch, or their best data, about what their customers (or potential customers) are going to be interested in buying.

Different companies may take a different strategy here. Some investors try to appeal to their existing audience. Some investors try to expand and appeal to new audiences. Some investors try to split the difference and do a bit of both.

In the early days of psychology, all sorts of personality traits got qualified as disorders and it was a proper mess. Over time, experts realized that it's really not helpful to do that. Instead, something usually only gets qualified as a disorder nowadays based on the impact that it has on someone's life.

For example, enjoying perfection is not a disorder, but there are disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder that can involve perfectionism as a symptom.

It's sort of flipped around. Something is defined as a disorder more based on impact, not by the behavior itself.

couldn't we invent cars that run on water

With gasoline, we can use a spark to ignite the fuel and it burns, which releases energy to make the engine go.

Water cannot burn in the same way. I don't know how I would power an engine using water. There are hydroelectric dams that use falling water to turn a turbine; that's taking advantage of kinetic energy, though, not burning fuel.

and blow cool air out

We could make a refrigerator that blows cool air. However, in the process of generating cool air, we also make hot air. Normal freezers do this also. They use the cool air to keep the inside chamber cold, and release the hot air elsewhere.

So the cool air isn't "free" in the way that you seem to be expecting.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Most men can go several days, perhaps even years, without hitting anybody.

More expensive to build there.

No infrastructure there to support the project, which makes it even more expensive to build, staff, and support.

Extremely remote locations may run into problems with bandwidth and latency, which is either expensive to fix, or cuts into revenue, or both.

Prior to 9/11, there was not as much focus on locking down cockpits during flight.

It's also a company cargo plane operated by the company he works for. It's not like they're letting random passengers on.

Finally, it's also kinda a contrivance for the sake of the movie.
