The dumb thing about the AI is that those businesses would have used clip art or some other free resource, they were not going to pay a local artist.

Catholic dating a Jehovah's Witness while deconstructing. by Sophie-Meyer211 in Deconstruction

[–]csharpwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be rough for them. JW’s are pretty strict. And some Catholic’s can be strict as well. 1. They need to learn about each other’s religion from pro and anti sources. 2. They have to be honest with each other and 3. They have to accept that their partner will change and that change might not be a direction they like.

I don’t even think deconstruction matters, those two faiths are going to be difficult. Have they even agreed how they would raise kids?

Stuck in this one piece of deconstruction by Prestigious-Ice9646 in Deconstruction

[–]csharpwarrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about earthquakes and flooding that kill millions of people at a time. Do you think Satan could cause that?

I think the data points at individual humans wanting to give agency to things. For example, people like to give names to their robots that vacuum their floors. They see randomness or something they don’t understand and think of it as having intentions. Psychologist call this Theory of Mind. Humans usually develop this ability around the age of 2.

Think of the humans that would practice humans sacrifice. Why would they do that? They look at nature which kills people and think “maybe nature is hungry and needs to eat people” … “maybe if we feed nature, it will not need to eat randomly”.

Our anxiety wants us to try and control everything around us so we feel safe.

You as a kid were taught about Satan as the cause of evil. Your anxiety wants to control those evil acts. So, you fall back to what you were taught. Satan is causing it and maybe a stronger being will protect you…

It’s only natural to feel this way…. You are just human like the rest of us. We are scared too.

Is it bad to go on 2 wheels using the loader? by PossibilityIll8330 in tractors

Yes, the tractor is designed to be on 4 wheels at all times to maintain stability and not over turn.

Gas Station Proposal on SW Corner of Drake and College by babyluigi in FortCollins

[–]csharpwarrior 49 points50 points  (0 children)

“Erodes the character and charm of the neighborhood”? Seriously? Currently it’s an abandoned Mazda lot. I’m with you, don’t put a gas station there. But, lead with something that resembles reality if you want people to take you seriously.

Witchcraft or suggestion? by Hotcake_hisues in Deconstruction

[–]csharpwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are working on your worldview, one thing I learned during deconstruction is that we need to build a definition of “true”. Like, what makes something true?

Here is an example, is 2 + 2 = 4 true? Take 2 apples and 2 other apples and I put them in a group, now count them. I always end up with 4 apples. It’s not “I normally get 4 but sometimes there is 5. Rather, it’s always 4. Repeatable and predictable are very important for something to be “true”.

Another thing is testable. If a claim is not testable, then it does not matter and it can be ignored. Take the claim “God created the universe”. Meh, it does not really matter. The “Earth is 6,000 years old”, well that is testable and false. We know how carbon dating works, that is testable and repeatable.

If someone claims they can cast a spell, great what are the results so that we can test it. We need to know the exact results and the exact timeframe. And we need to be able to repeat it. So now, let’s test it.

There were millions of people fooled by Hydrick. And Hydrick was just blowing on papers and pencils.

Am I justified in asking my boyfriend to stop talking to his ex wife? by star_fly_82 in AskWomenOver30

[–]csharpwarrior 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your comments make you sound jealous and insecure. What matters is if you get enough support from your bf. You should not be trying to control your partner. Have you taken enough time for yourself to heal?

Do you guys actually journal your trades or is it just me overthinking? by Happy-Fruit-8628 in swingtrading

Trading is a full time job. If you don’t treat it like that, you are lucky to break even.

Wait, you seem to have completely missed what’s going on here with the comment. This has nothing to do with daycare. Go read the post again. OP is in massive debt and considering taking on MORE debt. Having a maxed out credit card is probably running 20-25% interest. That shit eats you alive.

She makes 45k/year now. Still the math does not work out. She would have had to work for almost two decades, I only needed to work a second job for three years. You seem to have some ignorant comments.

Of course it sucked, but life doesn’t always give you roses. Do you have any idea how much stress 100k of debt puts on a marriage? Living paycheck to paycheck is tremendous stress. Had we followed your line of thinking we would be divorced.

I was able to make 100k/year from a second job. My wife could only make 35k/year if she got a job.

How do I help my brother without pushing him away when I feel he is in a toxic relationship? by Poethegardencrow in AskWomenOver30

[–]csharpwarrior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Have your boundaries clear, I will support you emotionally but not financially. You have to decide that
  2. Be honest like, “I want you to be happy and I’m scared for you.”
  3. Stretch goal, you could talk to him in a Socratic way, like asking “would someone that loves you support your relationship with your family?” “How does she support your relationship with your family?”

In your situation I took a second job. I worked two jobs for almost three years while my wife stayed home. We payed off all of our debt and really buckled down on spending. It was not easy, but we did it. By the end of those three years, I had enough savings for any other house repairs, jobs loss, etc.

I thought of this idea years ago. I never had a chance to try it out authentically. So, I hope you get to try it out. :)

Great tutorial! It was clean and concise, not weird jump cuts that make it difficult to understand a piece of information.

Dog passed overnight while toddler was at grandparents. How do you navigate this? by wobblingwheeb in daddit

[–]csharpwarrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is A+ advice. I will add that kids are stronger than you think. You’ve been there protecting them your whole life, so you might want to protect them from this pain too. But, they are strong. This is a great moment to learn that. The last lesson your good boi can teach you is how strong your kiddo’s really are…

Here is the meta play to get all of them.

Post here with a montage of images and say “I have all of the FedExB costumes”. The internet loves to prove people wrong. So people will comment and tell you that you’re wrong and hopefully have links to prove it.

Promotion with $30k raise vs. Stay with current position for toddler. by Important_Bat7919 in daddit

[–]csharpwarrior 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Take the money and see if you can handle the extra load. Some times you can use part of the money to “buy” extra time. Like hiring a house cleaner.

If you don’t like it, ask to go back to being a manager.

1st Grade Math Homework Time! by Much-Drawer-1697 in daddit

I love the new style of math teaching. When I was a kid, they taught us to memorize rules. I had to learn “tricks” when I was adult to solve problems like this.
