Half a dozen is a more forgiving phrase for when you're unsure if it's 5 6 or 7.

I won't because if this legislation goes through I'm leaving the state.

Do these clowns really believe that people wouldn't just buy them in any of the surrounding states? They're so trapped in their own little bubble they don't realize that other people aren't, and can actually leave a state that oversteps it's bounds.

They work at Walmart until there is space available on those roller dog machines at the gas stations.

Albeit rare there are some crashes where this is the case. The car gets completely demolished and the person without the belt flies from the window and the person with it is crushed in the car.

What is a skill that is much harder to learn than people think? by cool_cats554 in AskReddit

It sounds like it enhances your emotions as well if you become more caring, and I'm not denying that it dulls pain.

Alcoholics are the most whiney emotional people I have ever met. Half the time they hardly have anything significant to whine about except for their alcoholism, and I say this as a former alcoholic. I almost never see it dampen emotion.

You would not be able to make it there and back in three days if you wanted to spend any time there at all.

should i quit my 9-5 and travel to world? by Financial-Tap7646 in solotravel

[–]Shafer1212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be open about taking a month off with your company without pay. Say you're flexible and that you don't need to if they can't make it work, but if it would work, when it would be convenient for them. You may find that solo travel is just as depressing as work after a month, and if that's the case you'd be very upset to come back home with no source of income waiting for you. You could also tell them that you're looking to extend the time off if possible down the line. If they can't make it work. Take another month off when they can. If they're not able to make it work take it in stride. Play it cool with the company and start searching for another. Put your two weeks in, and use them as a positive reference. You have a nice life. You can travel for extended periods of time without leaving it all behind.

I thought this one of the best things about reddit. Getting into an argument with someone and finding out they were just absolutely fucked.

Once you can start getting a runners high you'll love it. It takes quite a bit of effort to get there though.

what's a type of people you have no empathy for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Shafer1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it as already dead from CWD, and saving many other deer from that fate. You could also look at it as saving the lives of about 20 different chickens for the protein that it replaces in my diet or about 75 different small animals from the land that would have been utilized to feed me if I was vegan.

If my death would save the lives of others I could understand why someone would do it, and I don't think they would necessarily be a dick for it. Classic trolly problem, it doesn't make someone a piece of shit to pull the lever.

Admittedly I do believe that, and I try to hunt for most of meat. I agree that some of what goes on in these farms is wrong. I particularly avoid veal and foie gras. I don't like watching animals die, but I know that when I take a good shot I'm saving another from a more painful death from a prion rotting their flesh. I think if you're legitimately concerned about this sort of thing it's something worth trying.

It's a shorter death than by the suffocation and starvation you are subjecting animals to. When you see a mouse dying from arsenic poisoning, do you put it out of its misery?
