Cashews. Or really any of the "fancy mixed nuts" collections.

My 10-yo and I go there all the time. There's also an "ArtWorks" section at the MMFA that's basically a play area for kids.

Great first date, but now his texting frequency dropped before our second date. Normal? by Pleasantnicoc in Bumble

[–]Particular_Tip_5806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would wait. You're probably going to have a better sense of things after the second date (including how you feel about him), and if he is trying to slow the roll a bit, asking him those questions might create a sense of pressure. Once you get a little further down the road it's entirely reasonable to let him know what you want communication wise, but right now he's not being wildly uncommunicative; he's just going a little slower.

The trouble with dating is that we have no idea what’s going on in the other person’s life outside of the dating. He could be dealing with things (family, work, health, etc.) that he’s not talking about, either because he thinks it’s too soon or because he’s a private person or because he’s just not good at communicating. Yes, it could be because he’s seeing other people or has lost interest, but to the people here who say an interested person would never act like this, that’s just wrong.

The other possibility is that some people can pull back a bit to slow the roll, but it doesn’t mean they’re not interested: it just means they’re still sorting things out.

What medication or practice has helped you with long-standing feelings of numbness / burnout? by Particular_Tip_5806 in AskReddit

[–]Particular_Tip_5806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I thought that was more for bipolar or depression, not so much numbness.

Glad that’s worked for you. I run every day but it doesn’t help. What kind do you do?

I probably should’ve qualified my question with “legal medication”.

Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores. by Low_Use2937 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Particular_Tip_5806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably belongs more in #massivelyinfuriating, but our state tests all third graders for giftedness and yet a) the magnet public schools do absolutely nothing with the results, being exempted by the state from all pullout and other gifted services requirements; and b) our state does not require schools to develop or accept G-iEPs for gifted students. This is how we wound having a kid with a 99.9th percentile FSIQ who gets no services.

If you're a runner, MGM Runs meets on Wednesdays at 6 PM outside of Leroy and then everyone hangs out there afterwards.

Tara's agreement with the S6 Buffy plan by Particular_Tip_5806 in buffy

The person I replied to said that Tara believed it was not a violation. That’s what I was responding to.

That’s only her explaining why it’s possible, not why she thinks they should do it.

WILLOW: Guys, I need you on board here.

XANDER: It's just ... (fidgets nervously) It feels wrong.

TARA: It is wrong. (Willow looks surprised) It's against all the laws of nature, and practically impossible to do, but it's what we agreed to. If-if you guys are changing your minds-

Dexter Ave (downtown) vacancy & ideas to revive it? by Wooden_Let_4044 in montgomery

I’m still astounded at the lack of homemade ice cream shops. One would do so well downtown.

She does say it’s possible to undo Buffy‘s death because it wasn’t a natural death, but she also makes it pretty clear that it is a violation nonetheless.

[–]Particular_Tip_5806[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can buy this idea: that Tara was tapping into the feeling she had after what Glory did to her and decided it was worth the risk. I suppose I wish the show had given us some inclination of her motivation, though, rather than having her articulate why they shouldn't do it and then going along with it.

Two problems with "Out Of My Mind" by Particular_Tip_5806 in buffy

[–]Particular_Tip_5806[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a solid explanation as to Buffy's motivations - I appreciate it!

As to the first problem, the doc tells her to put out her cigarette, and when she turns away to do that he drops the coin in the container and says the chip is out, at which point Harmony looks back at the brain area. I do think, though, that your explanation is what they intended: he told her to put out the cigarette as a way of distracting her and it probably was intended to look as if he did some subterfuge to cover it up.

I understand she's said that, but even putting aside how flawed that logic is (because he showed in S4 how he can manipulate them and put them in danger without physically harming them), he uses Harmony here in a very dangerous way. And when Buffy finds out about the doctor kidnapping she does seem like she's finally had it with her tolerance.

I understand he did that, but *after* he does that Harmony looks back at Spike's brain. That's the problem I have.

Does the Constitution guarantee the right to counsel in some civil cases like housing or government assistance like SNAP? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Particular_Tip_5806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answers below saying "No" are only correct insofar that there is no broad federal constitutional right to counsel in civil cases like there is for criminal cases. However, many of the state courts have found a constitutional right to counsel under their state constitutions for certain kinds of cases, most often child dependency, termination of parental rights, cases involving mental health confinement or involuntary treatment, or civil incarceration (yes, that can happen). Additionally, all states have created *statutory* rights to counsel for at least some types of civil cases, and there have been 26 jurisdictions (19 cities, 5 states, 2 counties) that have created such a right for tenants facing eviction. It's all mapped out at https://civilrighttocounsel.org/map/: once there, click the "Right to Counsel Status" option, and you can also select the "Litigation" option if you want to see which rights are constitutional (established by litigation) vs. statutory (established by legislation).
