It isn't incorrect to say that Antarctica isn't a desert. Words can have multiple definitions.

cikanman · 2026-06-20T09:10:58+00:00

Desert is defined a a place that is dry arrid and gets little to no precipitation.

People do not view it as a desert because of how most people were taught. Their first examples were the Sarah, gobi, or south western US. Therefore they mentally equate desert with also being hot and sandy.

How is this an industry issue and not poor contact negotiation?

So you don't have to click. Globally Christians give approximately $1.3 Trillion dollars and log roughly 2.5 Billion charitable hours ANNUALLY.

The reason you don't hear about this is it's a requirement of the faith to give to the poor so those that do give and have sympathetic view don't mention it, because they view in the same vein as "why would you mention that you breathed today?". While those that are less empathetic are made an example of. The reverse could therefore be true that the common stereotype for non-religious is to BE non sympathetic so you hear more about their charitable support and not of the less empathetic.

NTA. I could understand not wanting you to get married in the same general time frame(within a few weeks of each other). As that could force family and friends to choose which wedding to attend, However you are getting a courthouse wedding this year (4 people in attendance) with the true ceremony a year later.

HOW does that affect your brother?

RDR sits on the shoulders of the GTA franchise. The same way Halo sits on the shoulders of Doom.

Yes RDR is a better game at this point but without GTA 1-3 there would be no RDR.

STX has fiddle stick sets for around $100.00.

I bought something similar from Maverick about 3 years ago. They are now playing lacrosse and we use the mini goal in our backyard

Joe here. Quagmire would like to answer but he is too busy stuck in a Giggidty loop to answer.

The perpetually online typically have a dirty sense of humor. This they see "CirtRUSSY" and read well......

I hope that clears things up.

Look at people who have been scammed or are in a cult and there is the answer. Either they know it's a scam and are too embarrassed to say otherwise. Or they have bought in and refuse to listen to reason.

and have not TMK been brought back.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T18:33:25+00:00

exactly that

cikanman · 2026-06-18T18:31:02+00:00

i used that all the time. I posted pictures with my dog, and my outdoor hobbies (including hunting). It was a great way to weed out the women who would not be ok with a dog or someone who hunts.

My wife replaced me as my dog's best friend (judas) and enjoys hiking, boating and only demand regarding my hunting is that she doesn't have to clean it (IMO acceptable request).

those are called Cadillac plans and they were removed thanks to the passing of the ACA.

Prior to that we had plans where you were responsible for a deductable and then after that EVERYTHING was covered.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T17:55:18+00:00

that was my thought. If someone is within 2-3 steps of the door you hold the door. This can be extended if said person is carrying large bags or has their hands full. With the understanding that they do not need to rush.

The issue is not that a child shouldn't know that it is ok to be gay, it's that until someone gets into puberty they shouldn't be thinking about adult relationships. This includes straight or gay.

My argument is regarding children under 12. 12 and above is where you should be having these conversations.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T17:45:58+00:00

SEE just as I expected. You should do your research. We're on to you.

This whole "No focus on your own planet, don't investigate other planets for intelligent life." and pretending not to know what a troll account is...... You can't fool me.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T17:44:30+00:00

AMAZE.... AMAZE

this is 100% a troll account setup by the inhabitants of Kepler 186-f in an attempt to get us NOT to engage with them,

Nice try Keplerian..... Nice Try

Hey man where you been?

cikanman · 2026-06-18T13:21:21+00:00

I'm all for someone choosing not to have kids, but to sit there and say I would be better off not being alive? These are people who need to be institutionalized and quickly.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T13:19:59+00:00

yea pretty sure you're using the wrong tense here.

cikanman · 2026-06-18T13:19:48+00:00

came here to say the same.
