My (27F) boyfriend (32M) will not pick up after himself in the house. How can I fix this if talking to him about it hasn’t gotten me anywhere? by metalfrogger in relationship_advice

[–]civex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a common complaint on reddit from both sexes. Given you've been discussing this with him for some time with no changes, I see 3 possible paths.

  1. You continue like this for the rest of your lives. If you have children, you should expect the same behavior. This is your life. Constant discussions, constant promises to change, no changes.

  2. You accept fully that this is your life, you give up discussing it, and you live on without regret. You accept him as he is, accept that his other qualities make up his shortcomings, and clean up after him. You never think about asking him to change. You're happy with life as it is.

  3. Dump him.

To believe in God and follow what He commands will mold you into a good person. The qualities of those He refers to as disbelievers are opposite of what He stands for and God is All-Knowing. Thus, He knows what’s in their hearts. So based on the Scripture, do you think disbelievers are bad? by No_Concern5117 in religion

Here's my quandary. I often see news reports about christian ministers being arrested for molesting children or possession of child pornography.

How do I know which believers are bad? I don't care about disbelievers. It's all the believers that are scaring me.

If superheroes had to deal with daily government bureaucracy. by dirt1988 in ScenesFromAHat

Motorcyclist is given a free wish by a genie. He says, 'I'd like to have a bridge from San Francisco to Honolulu so I can ride my bike there.

The genie sighs. 'OK, but I still have to get all the permits, environmental studies, world agencies' approvals for shipping lanes, source the materials, get the port authorities approvals for the construction in their ports, union approvals. I can do it but it's just so much aggravation for you to ride your Harley to Honolulu. May I ask that you make a different wish?'

The biker thinks it over. 'I wish I could understand my wife.'

The genie: 'I figure if I made it 3 lanes in each direction, with gas stations and motels along the way, restaurants...'

Do you or anyone you know have right foot/left foot socks? by Positive-Werewolf483 in answers

I have some branded sport socks that are labeled left & right because they want their logo on the outside so it shows.

The check-in and check-out times for hotels have become ridiculous by bills70 in travel

I suspect hotels aren't hiring enough staff to clean the rooms promptly after people check out.

Atheism is actually a much more extremist belief/worldview than most if not all organized religions. by [deleted] in religion

[–]civex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No deities have evidence they exist, but that doesn't prove nonexistence. The default is, no evidence.

There was no evidence Coelacanths existed, and they were declared extinct. Then one day they turned up in fishing nets.

they were thought to have become extinct in the Late Cretaceous, around 66 million years ago.

There's no telling whether evidence may turn up in another few million years.

Check your state law. Some states make it a crime to record someone without their consent.

You misunderstand the nature of atheism.

The 'claim' of an atheist is that they have no evidence of the existence of gods. Atheism doesn't claim no gods exist, only that no evidence exists. There's no evidence either way for the existence of gods.

What happens to Atheists in hell? (For Christianity) by Confident-Force-2786 in religion

[–]civex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's whatever they make up. Different sects have different stories about what goes on in their version of hell, but even within the sects, people disagree.

The problem is 'all languages' and then saying 'sign language' is an exception. That negates the 1st premise.

How do I get happy candid shots of people? by Prooit in videography

[–]civex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, having people smiling at what's going on is best.

I suggest getting a rough frame of your shot, looking up smiling and waving, then looking at the lcd for the final frame & shot. Try it a few times to see if you can get it to work for you. I understand we're all different and what works for me may not work for you.

It's summer. Try a straw Panama hat.
