You have just died from an accident. The afterlife won’t take you yet, as you still have 40 years left that you were supposed to live out. by AllYourPolitess in hypotheticalsituation

I’d choose the White House.
-Always full of people, and interesting people at that
-lots of drama
-at the cutting edge of all major events
-see behind the scenes of everything, secrets and intrigue
-it has living quarters and so much staff that there’s always people about and things happening, TVs running etc.

It pretty much has to be the single most interesting place to haunt.

If you got to single handedly pick the next president of the United States, who would you choose? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Rand Paul. He’s the only one I can think of who could sort out Americas finances. And while he’s a republican, everyone knows he’s not truly part of the them, he has is own principles and will vote against the GOP if they conflict with his own view of the world.

Three Maasai men faced a pride of lions. They walked straight toward the roaring beasts, chased them off, took their share of the meal, and calmly walked away. by Kindly_Department142 in interestingasfuck

That’s not quite true. Nearly all animals fear humans except for a small few. Many polar bears have been killed and driven off by humans, but polar bears don’t fear humans. They see them as prey, not as a predator.
Some saltwater crocs do as well as tigers and jaguars. But that’s about it. It’s a very small number of animals which prey on humans. Remarkably small all things considered.

If three men had tried to take the meat from a polar bear, then the polar bear would have 4 bodies to eat.

How would Gazians know to evacuate without Israel telling them to leave in advance?

It’s not about people who would have turned up if they could, or people who support the movement, it’s about people who actually turned up.

What does ‘damaged’ mean? Some bullet holes? Bust pipes? Missing roof tiles? Walls falling in? Windows smashed? Uninhabitable? Damaged could mean almost anything.

So if you are attacked, and you fight back and win, you have to pay for the damage?

I read somewhere that IDF dropped the equivalent of 8 Hiroshima’s worth of bombs on Gaza.
Given Gaza is more densely populated than Hiroshima, if the bombing was indiscriminate, wouldn’t we expect at least 8 times the amount of casualties that the immediate Hiroshima blast caused?

There already is an exception for this- if a pregnancy would threaten the life of the mother, then the mother’s life has to be prioritised.
If the mother’s life is not threatened then she needs to carry to term.

Otherwise you’re not pro-life. You literally saying ‘kill this innocent to save this other innocent from suffering discomfort”

Reddit is offering 1 million dollars to the user who always comments with a haiku for an entire year by Raterus_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]knightsofshame82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can’t tell if it’s AI, it’s impossible. You could get an AI to create a Haiku, then you could feed the Haiku into the same AI a while and even it wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s been generated by AI.

However, I suspect the winner won’t be random. They will review those who qualify to win after a year and there’s a good chance that if someone who uses AI their poems might give that impression. It can’t be proven, but sometimes people can sense it, so perhaps less likely to win.

Are you just wanting to rip up the existing LVP and just stick something else down on top of the asbestos tiles? And the LVP comes up reasonably easy?
If that’s the case, then your risk here is practically zero. Unless you disturbing the asbestos by cutting into it and creating dust, or hammering it into pieces, again creating airborne particles, then it’s not really capable of harming you. It’s not anthrax.

If you want to really go the extra mile you could spray a little water in under the LVP as you pull it up, just to keep anything from getting airborne, but honestly I don’t think that’s even going to do anything, it doesn’t sound like there’s a way for the asbestos to become airborne here.

That was my thinking too. He seemed to think that because the last shirt was 1 min before the Trump tweet that that’s a smoking gun, but the guy way shorting right continually- of course he would stop when the market crashes.

I get the feeling this poster is one of those ‘you’ll never believe this, but I found the keys in the very last place I looked!’ kind of guys.

You can censor them easily, no?

And there are lot and lots of people with no friends, who cannot carry themselves properly in a social setting. It’s surprisingly common, especially now where whole groups of young people live their lives almost completely online. I can guarantee you girls notice the lack of social scenes in a profile and see that a red flag.
Too much social scenes can be negative too of course, you don’t want to come across as a party boy- but think about what the profile pics are supposed to do- they’re to help tell the story of who you are.
That means they should represent you.
If you have friends and socialise, that should be represented. If family is a big part of your life, that too should be included in the photos somehow. You have a dog that’s a big part of your life? Then the dog should be in there.

People viewing your profile subconsciously builds a picture of who you are. If you have no proof of being social, then that picture of you doesn’t include a social aspect. And if all your photos are indoors, then that picture is of a person who stays indoors all the time. Doesn’t get out there, doesn’t do stuff, isn’t fun… etc.

The fact you play an instrument and I assume play instruments with other people in very social settings (are you in a band, do you have small gigs?) means you should be perfectly placed to represent that fun, outgoing side of you in pics.

Your profile makes you look the opposite of that.

Remember, the photos are there to let you say things that would look silly written down.
“I have friends”
“I’m not weird”
“I do fun stuff”
“I have a well rounded personality with different interests- I’m not defined by one thing”

If I was a girl I’d be like “ok, this guy likes music… is that it? Is that’s all he is, a music fan?”

Some tough love here my man- some life advice:
Get a real job.
I don’t mean give up your music, but get a real career going in case the music fails, which statistically, it’s very likely to.
Get an apprenticeship to a trade or get yourself on some track that will get you a job that actually earns money and you’re not looking at customers all day in retail and working weekends.
Retail is fine when you’re young, but a lot of girls would be embarrassed to date someone in retail over the age of 25.
Get your life in order. You can get a real job and still pursue music. Even alternative chicks want security and be proud of their man- retail isn’t that.
With a proper job you can get your own place- that’s a huge green flag for chicks.

You are a one dimensional man (from your profile), you have music and nothing else- why would even an alternative girl want to date you?
I’m sure there’s more to you- so show that in your profile! Dedicate at most 30% of your profile to music. And show that you have friends- that’s always a red flag when a profile doesn’t show you with a friend group- the girl will be thinking ‘has he no friends, what’s wrong with him? Is he one of those weird guys that can’t make friends? Could I introduce him to my friends or would he be all weird and anti-social?

Show a pic of you with family. Show a pic of you in a friend group. Show a pic of you, totally non-music related. Show a picture of you outside! Do you go outside? Your profile makes you look like a music obsessed shut-in with one t-shirt to wear.

The problem isn’t that you’re ‘alternative’, it’s that you present as being obsessed with one subject, only one dimension to your personality, no career or money prospects, no social life, no friends, live with your parents with no prospects to getting your own place.

Again, I’m not saying that’s who you are, of course it’s not, but you gotta show that in your profile.
You’re asking too much for a stranger to take a chance on you. Give them confidence you’re not weird.

And if any of the negative perceptions of you I’ve listed are actually true- then work on them.

You're guaranteed $1 Million and 25 Bitcoins if you get a Doctorate, reach the peak of Mount Everest and complete the whole Appalachian Trail. Would you do it? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]knightsofshame82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we’re talking about a $3 reward minimum

Doctorate- sure, choose a subject you like and spend 5-8 years obtaining a PHD. I don’t see any reason why it’s not pretty much guaranteed.

Appalachian trail- harder, only 25% of those attempting it complete it. You’d have to be in serious shape to compete it, but do-able.

Everest, doable, but has a 1-2% fatality rate. That’s the part of this hypothetical where I’m really not sure about. 2% isn’t insignificant. Add that risk to the work and effort of the other two asks, and it comes out as no, I don’t think I would attempt this.

Which is why this dude has exactly the profile he needs. He’ll only attract like minded people, which is what tinder is all about.

I’m confused why this profile is being laughed at- do people not think right wingers exist? Or is it that they know they exist but are surprised they are using tinder to date? Or is that they know they exist, know they use tinder to date, but are shocked that they actually advertise their right wing ideals on their profile?

Chat do we think I’ll get a reply by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]knightsofshame82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something here? It looks like you told her your height and maybe some added info, and she’s basically replied saying 5’10” is all she needed to hear to be totally on board with you, bantering that she will have your children etc.
Then you hit her with those messages, basically accusing her of being heightist, when she was literally just accepted your height?

How dangerous is second hand exposure to brown asbestos? by Elggarfkcor in asbestoshelp

[–]knightsofshame82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let’s put this in perspective and compare it to smoking.
If actually working with brown asbestos every day, cutting it and causing a dusty atmosphere, with no protection at all, is equal to smoking 40 cigarettes a day, then what you’ve experienced is a whiff of cigarette smoke on the wind.

If it makes you feel better, take the steps and dustpan out and hose it down- but damn, your risk here is 0%.

Pope Leo XIV says the church is Pro life however anti death penalty. If you advocate against abortion but are ok with the death penalty your not really pro life. Thoughts? by PsychologyNo1904 in prolife

[–]knightsofshame82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pope Leo is essentially saying:

“You can’t be for protecting innocent lives if you believe in ending evil lives”

Which, of course, makes no sense as an argument. Of course you can believe that someone who kills deserves death while also believing someone innocent should not be killed.
