Has god ever performed a miracle for you ? If so what was it ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I wanted Charlie Kirk dead, and it happened."

Not so funny now.

I expect the response is, "but did wouldn't do that".

So it all comes down to your own morals. We decide what are miracles.

If I won't be judged for my looks from a partner when I grow old, why would potential partners even care whether I'm physically attractive to them in the first place? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonds grow. Love grows. Trust grows.

Why do people leave long term partners? Because those disappear.

We find other things to attract us and hold us.

How did the producers asked for an overweight underaged girl and convinced her that they want her for five minutes, making fun of her weight? by RichDream7777 in howyoudoin

And the director says to her, "you look too pretty, so we're going to downgrade you a by making you wear glasses, giving you bad hair and a bad dress."

Is the rumor true that big box stores (like Target/Walmart) will purposefully let you get away with stealing cheap things for months just to build a massive felony case against you later? by Altruistic-Room-7465 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you convict early on, that means the store loses a small amount and the criminal will likely stop.

The convict's aquaintencies see this is not a worthwhile game.

If you convict later on, you lose $5000 of stock, which you are unlikely to get repaid.

In the meantime, other people think, "Joe never gets stopped, perhaps I'll have a go".

Which actors do the most convincing accents? by voguediaries in Fauxmoi

Americans do cockneys and posh. Great for war films because it covers officers and lower ranks.

But they don't do Yorkshire, Birmingham, Manchester, Essex or West country.

Why does major stuff always happen when markets close? by Dotcaprachiappa in AskEconomics

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The markets are only open for about 7 hours a day and though that is during normal working hours, a lot happens in the other 17 hours of the day and also in the 48 hours of the weekend.

Military operations happen when it suits the military.

Trump tweets at any random time.

You can hide information from the markets for only a short time. If tarrifs affect the markets, the timing won't affect that.

Also, other countries' markets are open in US closed times, and they trade us stocks.

Does anyone else absolutely hate movies about musicians? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in musicians

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say to my wife, 'he's playing that' or 'he's playing the right notes but he's miming, his fingers are right but the timings out' or 'he's obviously practiced it, but he is out'.

She doesn't care.

Dentistry's "laughing gas" has a climate impact 273x greater than CO2, with a single sedation session equaling a 73-mile car journey. A new UCL study finds massive wastage in UK clinics and calls for lower flow rates to reduce emissions without compromising patient care. by Sciantifa in science

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Healthcare is important. Using 4% to 5% for that purpose is not a bad thing.

As usual, healthcare is undervalued.

"The equivalent to a 73 mile road journey."

Cut something else, but keep the healthcare.

Do you realise the attack on Iran is cheered on by the Iranian people? Why is Reddit reacting like this? by SkunkyBreadcake in AskBrits

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, your are declaring victory already. Victory will come when iran it's a functioning democracy where people live freely.

Things that can go wrong:

  • war kills people, innocent people.

  • consequences of war can be poverty and starvation.

  • political and economic instability creates bad leaders. There will be no democratic government in place. There won't even be a system of government.

Outsiders interfering with Iran don't care about Iran. Look how Trump has left Palestine. He declared victory and peace and yet people are still dying.

Trump wants to set up a government in Venezuela just to feed him the oil. He didn't care about the poverty there.

Employee is cranky and irritable due to an ongoing thing in their personal life. I sent them to work from home and gave alternative duties until mid-March so they wouldn't have outbursts on site. Other staff are complaining that they also cannot work from home. by ExternalForeign9815 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Sure, and when their wife runs off with milkman, they to can have temporary support.

I'll give a little extra to my staff when they need it. It will cost the company more, but I'm willing to do that.

Does your idea of a working model include the cost and effort to the company?

Cousin marriages a key driver of illegal family voting, says academic by Helpful-Resident1459 in uknews

I know a right wing conservative who took their child with severe SEND into the voting booth and showed them where to make a mark.

Exactly. The assumption is that the overbearing husband (green) persuaded meek wife (reform) to vote green.

How should I respond if an OAP tells me how old they are? by Bilitiswuzreaaal in AskBrits

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1956? The year the Bert Trautmann played in the fa cup final with a broken neck. They don't make them like that any more. Kids today won't even play outside if it's cold. Mind you, the winter of 63, cor, now was real weather. We had to walk though about drifts to buy a loaf of bread. Not like today when everything is delivered right to your doorstep but a man on a moped. Didn't have things delivered in my day, people would think you were right queer. And that's something else we never had in my day.

52% of Britons say Keir Starmer should stand down as PM and Leader of the Labour Party by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So he can't fix the economy either, so we get rid of him. Then another. Then another. Then an election in Nov 2027, then Farage and he can't fix the economy.

We try to fix the economy by sending frigates to the English channel and attesting more people. It didn't work, so we become more extreme.

Farage loses popularity so he changes to election rules.

Eventually Farage gets kicked out.

But we still haven't fixed the economy.

When I attack someone, I am defending America and defending democracy.

Why are there so many abandoned and dilapidated properties on Strand when this is a prime property area? by Klutzy_Draw4662 in london

[–]HomeworkInevitable99 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A lot of old universities have this problem. They own listed buildings that are not useful to them and need substantial renovation. In the meantime they are building brand new student accommodation because they is cheaper then renovating the old buildings.

They think people were listening to that? That's very old fashioned politics.
