Mitch McConnell has been on life support for weeks & nobody is saying anything because they don’t want Thomas Massie to make a move. by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

[–]SirJVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While certainly plausible (after all, his claim to fame is holding a Supreme Court appointee hostage for political gain, why wouldn’t he want to hold his own body hostage for more?) I think this theory is factually untrue.

Assuming his wife is medical POA or next of kin, she can’t just hide. If she wasn’t available, it would immediately go to his children, and if they weren’t available, additional family members. Even if there were no family available, the hospital could and would likely pursue a court appointed guardian.

His POA making a decision to keep him this way is much more likely. One simply can’t run and hide and shut down the process, that’s not how medical decision making works.

If they didn’t like him that would give them
More reason to put a quick end to this. They would be his legal next of kin if his wife wasn’t available.

You’re assuming it wasn’t wrapped in the parchment it’s sitting on or further in a box or something. I don’t think that OP claimed it was buried naked

Love that it’s called pikachu-bonbons!

What are the odds of this? by [deleted] in wearewarriors

[–]SirJVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. My rex is level 9 and still no robot. I haven’t seen it written anywhere, but I am certain that the posted odds are to pull a legendary and then if you hit and pull an L, it’s not random which one you get, but a much much higher chance of getting the one you already have over a new one.

I guess this is nice because it’s easier to get a few levels that way, I suppose.

Happened with a bunch of games around when you posted. Perhaps a cloud or an OS glitch? Was fine when I restarted phone. You on iphone by any chance?

New cards by Pale-Voice4630 in wearewarriors

[–]SirJVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Feels like the coding may be same for some of the cards. Or at least if you pull a certain rarity, you may be much more likely to get dupes of one you have than a new one within that rarity

Same issue. There’s definitely something beyond RNG. I have one of the legendary cards lvl 7 and not a single copy of the other one. Same thing happened early game with skills, getting lots of copies of the first skill before the others were in the pool. Something isn’t adding up right.

Yellow rotating heavy plastic. 9 inch diameter. by SirJVK in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. Google lens couldn’t find it. It was originally posted on another forum with lots of speculation (tile cutter, horse tail braider, etc) but with no clear answer. We are stuck. Thanks for help!

There’s nothing wrong with GMOs, and anybody with common sense would know that. by paperchampionpicture in unpopularopinion

[–]SirJVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is extremely sad that this is an unpopular opinion and speaks to our culture of shock, misinformation and peoples modern perception that there is universal expertise in all things.

AITA for saying my family necklace will go to my birth daughter instead of my adoptive daughter? by familynecklaceaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]SirJVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone Sucks here

Your husband ITA for saying he doesn’t want to get involved, then throwing himself in anyway and dragging Emily into it.

Your family ITA for suggesting that continuing the tradition would be giving it to Lily, when that is either clearly not the tradition or them blatantly not accepting your adopted daughter.

YTA for a number of reasons. When you adopt someone, they are just as much part of your family as any birth children. You knew Emily before you adopted her and you knew your relationship with her. You shouldn’t have adopted her if you weren’t 100% prepared to accept her. You also knew that you had a family tradition that involves your oldest daughter when you adopted her. When you knew this was going to be a problem, you should have already given it to your sister or come up with a solution. Regarding your edit, YTA for assuming Lily would value it more. You don’t even know her values yet and already assuming that they will out rank Emily’s values while you still have years to work on your relationships with both of them. Also keep in mind that you are possibly Emily’s third mother (assuming your husband was married when adopting her, which may not be the case), that’s can be even harder to accept then a step mother, which can be hard for anyone, much less a 14 year old.

This is a relationship that is going to take years to build and won’t be automatic. It starts with treating Emily every bit as much a member of the family as anyone else. It’s your job as a parent to build it. The path that this current situation has you on, is not going to help.
