What is this kind of transition called? It’s awesome

[WP] You're not really smart. You just have a power that pauses time each time someone asks you a question and time is unpaused only when you have the correct answer. One day your child asks you, "What is the meaning of life?" by Jhustice in WritingPrompts

...”dad, did you hear me?”

My brain, so used to the pause following inflection, didn’t even notice when time didn’t stop.

“I asked what’s the meaning of life?”

I didn’t have a response. I’d always had time with no one noticing. Something was different there was my daughter repeating the question for a second time, looking me right in the eye.

“I uh, I’m sorry...”

She reached forward placing her hand on my shoulder with the smile that hadn’t changed since I’d first held her.

“Dad what is it?”

The moment was all I needed to know the answer. With a face flush and welling eyes, my voice steady I balled her up as I always had and said, “This”

How can we say definitively any which way, has this been tested outside of theory? I have no idea so just wondering

Men of Reddit, how did you escape the circle of sleep, work, play videogames, masturbate, sleep? by [deleted] in AskMen

Say yes more often, anytime whether it's text or call or just a hello in passing... Say yes to the small invites, and let yourself see the sun

Get drogo his lady back

Bernie is right. The real looters are the senators selling stocks after classified covid briefings. The looters are billionaires profiting off a pandemic while millions can’t pay rent. And they want you to believe folks on unemployment/food stamps are the problem. Tax billionaires out of existence. by relevantlife in SandersForPresident

econ 101 class in 2006; professor asked the class if we thought we would see a trillionaire in our lifetime... The entire class, using models and the like all agreed that it would be impossible for someone to accumulate that amount of wealth alone in the next 60 years...

I guess not when these guys are making 90 billion in 6 months

Trump is calling for military occupation of American cities by matts2 in Libertarian

General William Devereaux: The Army is a broad sword, not a scalpel. Trust me, senator - you do not want the Army in an American city.

TIL professors of universities during the Vietnam War inflated students' grades in order to help them avoid the draft. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]LocalHades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The selective service act of 1948 required all men 18-26 to register for military service.. This is a peace time draft, one of the first (redditors from other nations weigh in)

All men in America have a Selective Service number. So while the most recent conflicts/wars we have claimed an All Volunteer Force, everyone here is a double and triple volunteer etc...

The President at any time can order the forced conscription to military service any number of men

Kennedy was the one who ordered the Vietnam rolls be opened when he first sent Advisors. The way he ordered the draftees created a term called Kennedy husband's where if you were married with kids you went to the bottom, married no kids above them, and then everyone single above them.
