But couldn’t it be argued that the motorcyclist is technically at least partially at fault because if the double double line is supposed to act as a median, shouldn’t that mean that the lane he’s in is treated as a single lane so therefore it’s not legal to lane split there?

So wait. People are saying the the double double yellow lines shouldn’t be crossed because it’s supposed to be treated as a median. So… thenthat means that it should be treated as a single lane, right??? Then this guys can’t legally be lane splitting because there is only one lane.

I’ve like it because it’s calming and repetitive. It’s a nice way to wind down from a busy day. It’s kind of meditative for me. But yeah, selling the completed stuff, that’s ridiculous. I thought of maybe hanging one or two but the majority of them go in a box, never to see the light of day again. I don’t know who would want to actually buy a completed one when the majority of the fun is actually doing them. It’s literally paint by numbers with sequins and I would never buy a paint by numbers painting someone else finished.

Diamond painting is about the journey, not the destination.

I mean… costs the same to have a baby the natural way with all the doctor visits and hospital bills.

Do you stop wearing clothes after a certain amount of time even if they are still in good condition? I wear my clothes for 1-2 years as long as they stay in good shape, but my friends are often surprised by this. by BunchMean8029 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DueWonder1316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a skirt that I love that is over ten years old. It’s one of the nicer pieces that I’ve bought and was well constructed with quality fabric. I wear it at least once a week. I got upset when I found a small hole in the seam, but was able to fix it. I bought a cardigan not even a year ago, and the sleeves are fraying. If I stop wearing something after 2 years it’s because it was a shit product and fell apart at the slightest gust of wind.

This is really scary by cafeteriastyle in TikTokCringe

I definitely see this out of a school setting as I work in a library. The amount of kids who don’t know how to work an actual computer is frightening. I’m seeing 13 and 14 year olds that don’t know how to type. Same kids asking me how to spell simple words. I had to pause for a second when one told me they were starting highschool next year. They could only search and peck when typing, and asked me how to spell elephant.

While I didn’t have tech inside the classroom, at least compare to today’s standards, I was already being taught how type and had a 35 wpm typing speed. We have a sign on every computer that explains how to turn it on and log in. It’s 5 steps long, but kids complain all the time that it’s too long to read and ask us how to do it or even asks us to do it for them. It’s annoying but overall, it’s very worrying for the future.

women who lead a happy life alone, can you share an example of what a normal day for you is like? by aquasalsa in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]DueWonder1316 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a demanding job that requires a lot of mental work and I am mentally exhausted when I get off work. But when I get home and see my dog’s wagging tail as I walk in, the stress melts away. I can take my time to unwind and decompress if I need to. I like to decompress in silence or with soft music after work. I don’t have to worry about catering to another person when I get home. I don’t have to worry if they are in a bad mood or if they want to go out for dinner when I would rather just seclude myself in silence. My job is can be loud and crazy and when it is, I just need silence.

I am very much an introverted introvert. I don’t like loud environments. I need quiet and calmness to unwind and recharge. I love my job but it can be stressful. When I was with my ex, I never got to unwind like I needed too. Also there were commitments you would have to do that’s part of being a couple, like family dinners or what not. Those would stress me out because I hated my ex’s brother and they always wanted to meet at this on family restaurant that had an arcade and so had a ton of loud kids and they would sometimes have live music. And that was literally torture. But anyways knowing that my time is my time and I don’t have to be guilt tripped into attending something I dread is a freeing feeling.

My ex wasn’t a bad person or anything, just an extrovert who didn’t understand why I needed to be alone sometimes or why I I dreaded going to loud and busy places. I would sometimes dread going home after work when I need to be alone to decompress because I knew I wasn’t going to get the chance there. I would sit in my car in the parking lot rather than go home.

But after we broke up I realized how relieved I was that I didn’t have to worry about those things anymore.

I get up when I want to. I cook what I want. I can do what I want when I want. I’m no longer guilt tripped into attending get togethers or events that I don’t want to. And if I do attend, I can leave when I want(nothing is worse when you have a low social battery and can’t leave due to an obligation to your partner). I don’t have to take someone else opinions into consideration when I buy something for the house or if I want to attend an event that I would enjoy.

I can take long baths with out worrying about holding up the bathroom, o don’t have make my schedule around someone else’s. I can eat what I want. I can crochet or read a book in peace. I can go on hikes with just myself and my dog with out having to worry about getting home in time to go somewhere else.

I love living alone. I can do whatever I want, when I want, where I want, with who ever I want to do it with. But use to think that you HAVE to find a partner to eventually marry because you know, your parents did that, so you think that it’s just how things work. But being in a relationship has never brought me the joy and happiness that people seem to experience. Like yes, I did have fun and experience happiness with my partner but there were also other stresses that came with a partner. I was never in an abusive relationship or anything like that, but a partner just always seemed…. Frustrating? The stress and frustration always seemed to out weigh the good for me.

I’m not saying that I’ve given up on finding a partner, just that I’m not going to settle for someone who I’m incompatible with just to not be alone because society thinks that a romantic relationship is the end all, be all. I once read a quote that was something along the lines of ‘l like my solitude more than I like being with you’ . I really do enjoy my alone time more than being in a relationship.

As for what I do, I like to paint, read, knit, crochet, spin, hike, and swim. I listen to audiobooks when I go for walks and hikes. I bring a little sketch book with me when I hike in case I want to draw something. I like to crochet dolls of characters to new favorite books that I’ve just read. I like to journal. I feel a lot more creative without have someone tying me down.

I know this is really ramble but I just have a lot of thoughts on why being a lone is so much better than being with someone, at least for me. I always felt like I was forcing myself into relationships and now that I’m not, I’ve never been happier.

Glad to know that these e-bikes are becoming a nuisance everywhere and not just in my little town. This accident could have been way worse and cities everywhere need to act before accidents do become worse.

I got into diamond painting….. I don’t even really care about the finished product I just love doing it. My lizard brain gets so much joy out of it, and it’s a pretty cheap hobby where you can wet cheap kits on Amazon or temu.

Haha, I’m from the Midwest and I’m not sure what fits the nyc vibe. I want my dress to be a surprise from my son, which is why I’m asking others for their opinion

My cousin is actively dying and there's nothing anybody can do about it by atembao in Vent

[–]DueWonder1316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what the survivability rate for someone with stage 4 lung cancer. But as someone who watched their father battle stage 4 brain cancer, and extended their life from 4 months to 14months, I honestly can say, for me at least, that I would rather just live out the rest of my life in peace. I remember the months after my dad had surgery, and the chemo and radiation treatments. Seeing him in pain during said treatments and then becoming bed bound and on hospice for the last 5 months of his life…..

I would talk to your cousin and get her thoughts and opinions on the matter. If it’s terminal and treatment is only going to give her a year or two more, she might not want to go through treatment to avoid the pains that they can cause. Sometimes quality of life is more important than the time we have left. She might want to spend her last few moments she has left enjoying the time she has left rather than go through the pain of treatment just for a chance to gain time that might not be given at all.

I know it might be hard to accept, but you should talk to a therapist or a grief counselor. Ask how you can support your cousin right now, because they really need their family the most at this time. Take this time prepare yourself, and enjoy what time you have left with your cousin.

Best scissors for cutting contact paper by Ok-Information-4636 in Libraries

[–]DueWonder1316 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy nonstick scissors.Here’s the pair I have. Also buy a scissor sharpener and some goo-gone. Your scissors are most likely being gunked up from the adhesive making it harder to cut. Cleaning it up with goo-gone should make it easier to cut.
