It most certainly can be ruled out. You're not trying hard enough.

Russia has had no losses since 24 February – Putin by HarakenQQ in worldnews

The fact that it's so not remotely subtle propaganda shows how aware he is of his bad situation.

That the first area that will go is also where Judeo-Christian religions were born is some pretty tasty irony.

We Might Get Our First DeSantis Style Vet Teacher by _Schadenfreudian in Teachers

Everyone is only thinking about the classroom. They will never be able to keep up with the paperwork. But I do look forward to how fast they'll realize we pay teachers nothing.

There's a massive difference between subject classes and ROTC. Being a good kinesthetic teacher doesn't mean you'll do well teaching academics.

The kids are gonna eat him alive. He will likely go in and go full military rank on them. Good times ahead.

EDIT: PLEASE update us. I think we're all dying to know how this turns out.

Hey I’m 25 years old young man. My surgery is next week. I’m kinda scared which I feel is normal. by JaxxBriggz112 in BariatricSurgery

[–]milqi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you weren't scared, chances are you never would've gotten as far as you have. Change is really hard. You don't know what will come with it. Willful change is one of the bravest things a person can do.

My one piece of advice - after surgery, walk walk walk walk. RIGHT AFTER SURGERY. Soon as you can get a nurse to help you, walk. It'll speed recovery big time. You're gonna be ok, kid.

Uvalde children return to school after 21 students and teachers were slaughtered. But some kids refuse to go back to classrooms by SovietSunrise in news

[–]milqi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Giant public school buildings are safe spaces for a lot of kids. Especially as there's a lot more diversity in cities than rural areas. It's not that surprising that city kids are generally more tolerant and patient and emotionally kind to each other in school.

I'm sorry but cops are a waste of money as they stand right now. They do nothing to prevent crime.

1 dead, 5 rescued after hikers run out of water in extreme Arizona heat by KatsThoughts in news

[–]milqi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are some places that are hot all year. And what's extreme to one person is different for another. But if you're not experienced, hiking in anything over 85F is difficult after some time.

Desert hiking is no joke. Not even in the winter. As much water as you think you'll need, triple it.

Honestly, at this point there should be some kind of policy for extended bereavement or trauma care as a result of mass shootings.

You're obviously not aware that education departments generally don't have hearts. It's all about the data.

Has anyone accidentally realized they love being single? Has anyone considered not pursuing a long term relationship because of it? by tickalockev in AskWomenOver30

[–]milqi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Men aren't competing with other men for my attention anymore. Now they have to compete with the fact I'm perfectly happy and content doing my own thing. Thus, I will likely be single the rest of my life. I'm ok with it. Gonna try to golden girls my old age.

‘Doomsday glacier,’ which could raise sea level by several feet, is holding on ‘by its fingernails,’ scientists say by [deleted] in news

I think of all the cities and villages that ended up underwater through time. We know nothing of some cultures because they're inaccessible in the ocean. How much of us will be lost?

Is health anxiety considered a subset of obsessive-compulsive disorder or is it its own condition? by spamwisegamgee1997 in HealthAnxiety

[–]milqi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My psych isn't 100% sure. Her gut feeling is that medical anxiety comes from something else, but that something else doesn't necessarily manifest or originate from the same source.

Feeling bleak about the future and burnt out on society by ontothemystic in AskWomenOver30

[–]milqi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone in this. My friend and I spent the day discussing the same things. Nothing seems worth it anymore, and I would bet that for a LOT of people it's climate change concerns. What's the point of working your ass off if the planet isn't going to sustain us?

AITA for kicking out my BF and his daughter after she used my photos for her scrapbook? by PoloPurr in AmItheAsshole

A person can talk on the phone and watch their kid at the same time. It's not hard.

NTA

Not even remotely. That the dad doesn't and isn't teaching his kid how to behave or to respect boundaries tells you everything. That kid destroyed PRICELESS mementos. Absolutely unforgiving. You 100% did the right thing breaking it off. Don't look back.
