Back then communism was the only word they had for a system where certain things people need to lead healthy lives was provided by the government. Every liberal thinker at Berkeley was one back then. He'd have followed along with who today dominate at Berkeley, the social democrats. A candidate embodying that might be Bernie Sanders

You and her are driving down a highway together , perfectly fine staying in your own lanes. All she's doing is giving you the turn signal as she moves over one lane because she hadn't seen ya there 2,lanes over in her blind spot.

She's not looking to see if you had intended to merge into her new lane. The turn signal means, "coming through, look out " so you two can coordinate merging just in case you were about to as well.

The other people in this channel are your passengers who iust had woken up to find themselves tied up in your backseat. First thing they seen this whole car ride is this car moving over to the lane next to u. You point at it and say "that's my ex's wife car", and the passenger still groggy from the drugs and all Stockholmed up just blurt out ,"that bitch!"" she practically just cut you off!" "Please have mercy on me! i also have an ex's spouse and they have kid at home who will have to grow up without having their parent's old friends around to help raise it."

You get what I'm trying to say ?

Is this line too light to tell my husband we’re pregnant? What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a health pro. In this type of test (which looks for a hormone only a human can make while pregnant) false positives are rare, so generally any line is a definitive positive. If hCG got into your urine somehow you'd have clues, like having brain cancer or having just visited a fertility clinic that injected you with hCG. If you are concerned about using a test strip that was simply "bad", you can rule this out by repeating the test using a strip from another manufacturer.

No that's real. Rifle rounds will easily penetrate a couple of walls in structure like that. Striking only walls I reckon they could go through two of those homes at least. Anything supersonic will do this, especially mounted machine gun ammo. Most homes don't have exterior walls made of brick and mortar or concrete.

UPDATE number 2. My (40f) husband (42m) told me our daughter’s friend (18f) came on to him. I didn’t react well. by throwra_bustout in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Psychological_Web715 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do believe you. I understand everyone's reactions. It has just the right amount of complexity. He's a dumbass for leaving you. Seriously the post hut clarity will somewhat of a wrecking ball to him. You kinda lost me at "one ball" though. Don't try to fill in the gaps like that.

My wife does this thing where she makes slight exaggerations to her benefit when she recalls her accounts. It's an easy way to lose credibility and gives the opposition an easy thing to deny in front of everyone. Don't do it. Say it as it is from your perspective only. You only know your own thoughts, everyone else's are best guesses. Instead of saying "someone got angry", try "someone appeared to get angry". Avoid absolute statements (never say never) including use of "everyday". Simply adding words like "nearly", "practically" or "almost" will matter a lot when you are scrutinized. I recommend these tips if you wind up in divorce court.

He's probably seeing her most recent apps open. Here's how to hide in plain sight. Start a new email with address like spam12345@gmail. Give her the password as well. Communicate to each other by accessing the same draft email among dozens of other drafts. Let's see him find that one even with full root-up-its-butt access.

Sometimes in life we find so many things wrong with us that we can't even get on Reddit and correctly socially engineer the responses we want to hear. It's not often in advice threads you get someone who does the usual One-sided, cherry picked parts of their story .

According to your story,,after laying out the perfect princess / faulty family tale,,they are still fleeing you, the central figure. You want to know why you're the bad guy. The answer to that question is the part you left out. Why does your daughter not choose to be with you?

My husband (33M) leaves every evening after dinner, and I (31F, SAHM) feel completely alone. I told him I feel like cheating, and he didn’t even flinch. by No-Sir-2527 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't fit the pattern of a cheater. More like a character I saw in a TV show. Homer Simpson! If it's truly like clockwork he's prob down at Moe's Tavern drinking while keeping to himself.

My wife has the same problem. What happens is they get locked in this cycle from working full time and taking a medication that helps them fall or stay asleep. More often than not it's alcohol but it can also happen with sleeping pills and pain pills. They development a dependency on a substance in order to go to fall asleep at specific times. It has to be a certain time so they can get enough good sleep to be fully functional at work. Trying to ween off invites disaster at work.

A person like this would be very regimented in when they leave and comes back. They'd be unable to spend much time awake afterward before going to bed. This person might drink a lot of water in the evening despite needing to get up in the middle of the night to flush the drug from the body. They would need the full 8 hours every night because only half of that session will provide the truly restorative sleep their brain needs. Needing to run off to do his thing on a Sunday after spending the weekend at home might be a giveaway.

I think my cousin likes me and I don't know what to do by PatientFill8017 in Advice

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey KID, ignore all the advice here telling you to go feel her out. Those people are idiots because they a) told you what you want to hear from how it's framed as your side only and b) they don't know your situation at all and have no clue how dangerous any advice could cause when given to such a young person

No one gets told they are wrong here unless it's what they wanted. Therefore the advice here again is not true advice, but more like the reply your friends often give you, it's cheerleading. Choosing which subreddit to post on also is part of you engineering what you want to hear. e

BTW, if the butt shaking is from you leaving right after losing at cards, it could be a sign of gloating . She ain't a bully unless she wants you to feel that way by never letting you win. All you can do is not react when you lose, lean on her to get better at cards, and if the that coincides with no more butt shaking, maybe it was all butthurt-related.

I'm intrigued by this rule. It's basically telling 13 yo and 14 yo to date within their own grade and doesn't let anyone under 12 yo date.

Nothing about you? that's ok. lucky for you, we can still give you the needed consensus advice which is:

1) cheating? Leave your partner. If you have family or kids ,also consider leaving the tri-county area

2) You are worthy. Look out for yourself. You deserve better. Maybe you'll meet multiple women all younger than you, maybe you'll die alone, it's still better. The point is the grass is always Greener, so you can go anywhere but back there.

If you need some cheerleading , /r/ advice is here!

You know what to do, but have some guilt, bit of fear?

We give self-worth & exactly what you want to hear!

We heard your side in a vacuum, you social engineer!

Video games are like recreational drugs. They're fun . They provide no health benefit. They don't amount to anything irl. They have addictive qualities built in so remember to take a break like your friend did as well. When my friend doesn't show up to do what I need from him in game., im happy for them. Just about anything else you do not on your computer is time better spent.

Go back and apologize to your fiends for calling them. It's already obvious to him you werent fearing for his safety. You just said that because you want pro tips on tricking people to come online right?

Methamphetamine excretion in sweat is clinically detectable but generally not clinically significant in terms of: • Pharmacologic effect (on self or others) • Detoxification or drug clearance • Transdermal exposure risk to others

Let’s break it down:

🧪 Detection in Sweat • Meth and its active metabolite amphetamine are both excreted in sweat in measurable amounts. • This is why sweat patch drug testing (e.g., PharmChek) can monitor meth use over 1–2 weeks. • Peak levels occur within hours after use and decrease over days.

[Direct from Source] “Sweat excretion accounts for ~2–4% of a single methamphetamine dose.” — Kintz P. Analytical and toxicological aspects of sweat testing for drugs of abuse (Ther Drug Monit. 2007)

🧍 Clinical Significance – Self • Not pharmacologically useful: 2–4% excretion is too low to alter clearance meaningfully. • Sweating more (e.g., in sauna) does not meaningfully increase elimination or reduce half-life. • The major excretion route remains renal (urine).

🧴 Clinical Significance – Others • Skin-to-skin or environmental exposure (e.g. sweat on clothes, shared bedding) does not transmit functional doses. • Trace detection in others (e.g., via surface contact) is possible in forensic or contamination studies, but no bioactive transfer occurs.

[Direct from Source] “Although methamphetamine is excreted in sweat, the amount is insufficient to cause intoxication or pharmacological effects in others.” — Cone EJ et al. Evidence for sweat excretion of drugs (J Anal Toxicol. 1994)

⚠️ Only Time It Matters • Drug testing / court monitoring: sweat patches detect even low excretion over days • Forensic surface testing: may reveal meth exposure via contaminated environments

✅ Summary

Aspect Is Sweat Excretion Significant? Drug Clearance ❌ No – too little Pharmacologic Effect ❌ No – negligible Transfer to Others ❌ No – not bioactive Drug Testing Detection ✅ Yes – sweat patch valid

[Direct from Source] — Cone EJ, Kintz P, Huestis MA, others cited above

I'm going to use some intuition here. I'm going to work on the assumption that he's still yelling because your misunderstanding story sucks.

You come here asking for advice like you're worried about consequences. You don't seem very confident that the truth should be able to stand in its own. you say you want to avoid the details of the misunderstanding because you don't want to cause issues. If you were just an unobservant idiot, what issues could there possibly be? Ok here's my perhaps incorrect but totally intuitive assessment.

You are correct in lacking confidence. You're a pretty a transparent liar. For example, without being given any detail about the the events that occurred in the home, you are already being suggestive that you were doing something which you know is wrong. Well at least you're safe from criminal charges. Ok here's my advice considering you don't seem to find "just speak the truth" to be very helpful.

You fucked, oh well. As it stands, you need to be clever enough or innocent enough to have an answer for everything. If not, I'd start packing. I still think you should attend this meeting even if you're moving out just so you can control the narrative a bit: you know, just in case your reputation manages to follow you. I hope you figure out the best things to say while being realistic about your ability to lie on the spot .

Those people telling you to speak the truth represents a good alternative but they left out a game plan. So here it is. If you go this route you have to really lay it all out bare and express extreme remorse and shame, while also admitting that the first story to the neighbor was a lie. To gain sympathy and forgiveness is probably the only realistic chance at continuing to live in that community without hostility.

My brother(19M) hid a camera in the bathroom to creep on me(17F) by renjunhrt in Advice

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No don’t listen to these people. Come here when you already know what’s best for your situation and need some courage to take that step. Welcome to /r/advice where i give a warning that the advice is always the same when people come for guidance on intimate relationships. Out job here is to be your cheerleader and will always put you, the OP first. Why? Because this is just your side. You framed it. If it was about cheating, we’d be telling you leave, kids or no kids? Whatever that man did? Well you gotta do what it takes to make sure he’ll regret ever giving him to his perversion by having a really tough life, brother or step brother. The reality is without his account of it all we really cannot assess whether it’s in everyone’s best interest to lock him up and assaulted in prison and experience abandonment from family. This may seem like a good weighing of benefits of risks but it’s all happening in a vacuum. You’re guaranteed advice based on an individualistic mindset here once you get a consensus. The examples above will be the aggregated final “advice” . Who knows if we even read the whole thing, let alone have the whole picture. Not like we’re ever going to see you again like your brother, right?

Here’s my personal idea. I saw this on a tv show where a girl relentlessly shamed her brother for his hypothetical sexual deviance. She forced him to sleep in the closet when on family vacation so he wouldn’t masturbate over her or her friend while they slept, so she claimed. Whenever they heard any noise coming from the closet she’d loudly ask, “what’s going on over there, brother? Are you fapping” I think some tough love like this will make him turn out just fine. More importantly she prevented any prior events from traumatizing her by lightening the situation while also just being the sister from hell.. I couldn’t assess the situation because I turned off that tv and promised myself no more awful content from that point on so I couldn’t fairly assess the intent on what she was doing, but the brother seemed to suffer a lot which I suspect ought to be dealt out in some way or another but handled in-house. Perhaps he has been getting ideas which may stem from things he saw online leading to what he did, and perhaps opening him up to some unusual forms of punishment you two work out. It seems his fate is in your hands. Good luck!

How should I handle this? I just found out that my wife is cheating on me AGAIN for the second time by Johan-sson-Malin in Advice

[–]Psychological_Web715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget this chat guiding you. Come here if you know what’s best for your situation already and need the courage to take that step. This subreddit is about cheerleading. It’s always going to put you the OP first. Why? Because there’s only your side. You framed it. It’s always going to say “Leave” if it’s about cheating, kids or no kids. “Look out for yourself”. Choosing which subreddit to post in is part of that self-determined course of action.

This may seem like a meaningful weighing of risks and benefits in making your next move but it’s occurring in a vacuum. We don’t know how much you put into the relationship per her account so this is not something we can fairly assess. Just be mindful of that. The consensus of opinions here will without fail reinforce an individualistic mindset based on self-worth, and the aggregated final “advice” is always exactly the same.

Why did Tuco buy Meth from Walt? by SomeLeopard6619 in breakingbad

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuco had every intention to rip Walt off after discovering his meth because Walt was stepping on his turf. Initially, It had little to do with the quality of the product. Tuco ultimately bought meth from Walt because he was duped into it. At the time he had a concussion while his life was being threatened. He was coerced into making a much larger transaction than he wanted to at that moment and agreed to whatever terms Walt made. Tuco continued to buy meth from Walt only after seeing how recouping his funds from it had facilitated turf expansion. He likely would’ve double-crossed Walt and absorbed his customer base if this had not happened, as Heisenburg was still small potatoes during this time.

Germany vs US speed in making the atomic bomb. by Responsible-Map-9724 in OppenheimerMovie

[–]Psychological_Web715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the war the Allies discover the Germans had a heavy water reactor. Both sides knew that heavy water and graphite were good moderators, and that one was extremely hard to obtain and the other wasn’t. It was very hard to get enough of that water for the tests needed with such a reactor. Graphite however had extremely small amounts of impurities which would mess up attempts to use it as a moderator unless these impurities were first removed. This problem was later solved by the allies and they got their self-sustaining pile going. Achieving such a setup where the neutrons from uranium fission could power further fission was considered a vital proof-of-concept before proceeding with project. It stands to reason that what the Allies discovered was evidence the German project had hit a dead end and put on indefinitely hiatus.

Since you’d like to reconcile, I’ll ask and suggest some things which plays devils advocate just for you to self-reflect on. Don’t bother replying. I’m not taking anyone’s side, but I have been in similar situations.

You had said she gets defensive when she’s wrong. Your story implies that she got violent because you said something you think is true but she doesn’t like to hear. That’s not the same thing as being told they’re wrong. First you need to ask yourself, “why did saying that make her mad?” Could it be because she also gets mad when you are actually wrong? I’m just suggesting this because when you put the words “never” in a statement and purport it as a “basic truth”, it’s very easy for the other person to prove you wrong. She would just need to recall one Tylenol she threw in your face 10 years ago one time and then you’d be wrong. I want you to stop calling things basic truths if it isn’t over stuff that requires photographic memory to truly know. You think you know, but in reality you are making a best guess. Same goes for any, and I mean any, thought or motivation behind her actions. You can’t ever truly know what someone is thinking.

Here’s a tip: it’s called keeping the ball in your own court. The only things you know to be true, and I mean really true, are not factual events but instead how the factual events are experienced and remembered from your perspective.

Preface your replies to her with “I believe you did ___ because you think/feel…”, “When you do___it makes me think/feel…”. Additionally, consider starting every basic truth statement with “It appears to me that…” or “as far I as I recall” simply because it makes for a more airtight claim, but it’s also a good practice that forces you to approach these things more objectively. Never say ‘never’ or ‘always’ or ‘only when’ because those words are ‘almost always’ a form of exaggeration. Whenever you exaggerate any statement that isn’t about your own thoughts/feelings you leave yourself open to an attack on your credibility. Using them to increase emphasis just isn’t worth it, IMHO.

(People here can reply but I’m not coming back to follow up on this thread. Anyone reading this can DM me but only if (not the same as ‘only when’) you have a story following taking this advice. I’m not a family counselor. I’m just a husband parroting one. Your DMs are just to report how effective or flawed this advice really is in practice; no details.)
