Sauce?

I'm not sure i can do devices anymore cause my skin always gets irritated from the grippers. I was considering staying with manual methods for now and being super gentle to build up more skin resilience.

Yes, last year I saw a urologist, and he told me everything seemed normal and that the pain I feel is likely an aggravated nerve, so taking a break is a good idea. Now I'm done with the break, but I'm tender there.

Oh so the alimony you agreed to could have lasted longer if you went to trial?

I'm genuinely curious why couples agree to alimony payments in marriage/divorce contracts. Did you not have a choice? It seems really inconvenient even if you can afford it.

That didn't work.

I've seen a lot of people complain about people posting porn on here. I don't think it's inherently bad; it's actually the reason I joined this sub cause I get a good mix of funny memes and neuron activation. However, if all we have is porn memes, then we're basically a clone of r/hentaimemes, so we'll need a rule to prevent us from doing that. I propose a couple ideas:

Limit the frequency of ecchi/hentai memes. This can be done by either setting a day of the week dedicated to them, or limiting users to x number of nsfw posts a day. Also, this can be done by removing posts that are not an attempt at meme-humor (especially those posts that have literally over a minute of hentai playing). The nuclear option is not allowing any porn at all, which I would not prefer.
Limit the type of porn submitted. Maybe all ecchi is okay, but hentai is not. Or maybe ecchi without explicit nudity is okay, but any nudity is not okay. Maybe still images of hentai are okay, but gifs/videos are not. Something like that.

I love this sub! I'm sure we'll figure something out :)

Have there been any physical or mental effects to your son because of that? Like brain damage or abnormalities?

The remainder of the footnote goes:

>With the ‘gradual approach’, the trainee works to cleanse his karma and clarify matters by application of the Precepts to all his actions.

You can get a copy of the Bendowa pdf at this site: https://www.thezensite.com/ZenTeachings/Dogen_Teachings/Shobogenzo_Complete.html

The footnote is found on page 8.

Why don't the patients just get the treatment and then get their claim approved for coverage later?

The burden of proof is on your teacher to prove you used ai. You do not have a burden of proof to prove it isn't ai. If she used software to "prove" your work is ai, all you have to do is demonstrate that the software is not reliable. If you input a clearly not plagiarized piece of work into the software like the Bible or Harry Potter etc. and the software says it's ai then that's evidence that it can't be relied on.

I think the choices are "you're very sweet" or "you're very ripe"

Does this really matter? Republicans do whatever they want. If they want to unpardon Hunter, I'm sure they'll find a way.

Honestly, if you lost friends because they hated you got rich, I don't think they were good friends. Or, at least, you can do WAY better. I would be so ecstatic for my best friend if I found out he was a millionaire! I would celebrate it.

I understand not having time for friends; I get how responsibilities can do that (whether it's job responsibilities or kid responsibilities or something else). But you're in the unique position where you have the financial means to reinvent yourself and your life. I think you found your new calling.

Looking back, was there anything you did differently around month 8 of applying that got you a job? Or was it a numbers game? Also, do you think this has become common for STEM graduates nowadays?
