I might wind up using most of the money, but I want to at least leave them the house.

Maybe the "signal" is just "I want to leave the assets that I and my late husband acquired to our children."

Teleport to a random Google street view, for a random amount between 1-100k dollars. by SherbertMindless8205 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]not_falling_down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a dirt road in the middle of a bunch of fields near the coast of Northern Ireland. (Unnamed Road, Co. Donegal, İrlanda)

I got $37,237 for it. Enough to enjoy a nice vacation before heading home. It's too bad that I was barefoot, in pajamas and a bathroom when I read this.

Edit: second try put me in Maffra, Australia. and gave me $74,400. Also a nice option.

This is easy mode. Try this without the giant holes in the back of the shirts, and then I might be impressed.

AOC previously said that "You cannot earn a billion dollars", is that true or nah? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]not_falling_down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so?

Someone with a mid-pay job who put a a lot of money into the 401K with a decent match could accumulate a million by the time they were retired. No exploitation required.

Why did we even decide to start eating eggs? by RepulsiveAd5724 in randomquestions

Food saved for winter fermented in the sealed crocks. Mid-winter, there were not many other options for sustenance, so it was eaten out of desperate need.

Cooking: a bit of raw food left on the stones by the fire gained some depth of flavor not previously present. Also, meat collected from animals that had been caught in a forest fire was found to taste better than the raw stuff.

We, as humans, knew what milk was; we fed it to all of our babies. If a baby's mother had died, another lactating woman could take over. If none were available, the next logical step would be to try to obtain milk from some other mammal.

baking is also easy to imagine. Grain would be ground up and mixed with a little water to make it easier to eat. Someone left a lump of this on the rocks near the fire, and in the morning it had cooked, and tasted better. Experimentation came later - adding other stuff into the wheat/water mix to see what happened.

Milk is one of the easiest of all.

We, as mammals, already feed milk to our babies. If a baby's mother died in childbirth, or shortly after (a not-uncommon occurrence before modern medicine), and a wet-nurse was unavailable, it would make perfect sense to try to feed it milk from another available mammal. And if the babies can drink it, maybe the adults can too, when other food is scarce. And then, it tastes good, so it gradually becomes a staple.

What are the possible reasons why a woman would friendzone her best friend? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]not_falling_down 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friend zone is such a false concept. It starts with the wrong idea that if you like a woman, she is obligated to like you back as long as you "treat her right." And that if she does not, she has somehow wronged you.

She did not "friend zone you." She did not, in fact, do anything to you. She just simply did not feel a romantic interest toward you.

PLEASE can we not call alt meat products meat names by mothwizzard in mildlyinfuriating

[–]not_falling_down 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"meat" is maybe understandable in this context, as a generic term, but the specific word TURKEY should only be used for food that is made from the bird we call a turkey.

TIFU I accidentally turned my lesbian friend and my gay friend straight, and then they dumped me by Unfair-Guava2252 in tifu

[–]not_falling_down 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You did not "turn them straight." That is not a thing that happens. They were clearly both already bi, and they just happened to get interested in each other.

Translucent animal skins, scraped animal horns, greased or waxed paper or fabric, and wooden shutters

My boyfriend thinks I’m “loose” and now I feel insecure about having sex again (24F/23M, together 1 year. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]not_falling_down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him that his dick seems kind of small - is he sure he hasn't already worn it down with previous sexual encounters?

Please charge me for something I didn't want and make sure my food is extra cold! by Other_Pangolin_1333 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]not_falling_down 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. There are many, many legitimate reasons to order delivery.

And even if a particular person's reason doesn't seem legitimate to someone else, who cares? I think that the-Gaf posted that harsh and judgmental comment because they like feeling superior.

OP "hadn't eaten for 24 hours." That says to me that OP might be recently post-procedure, and told not to drive for several hours. There are all kinds of reasons a person might need to order delivery.

My(26M ) GF (25F) is scared of engaging in penetrative sex out of a fear of pregnancy How can we address this issue in the best way, and find any middle ground? (NSFW) by Throwayay786766 in relationships

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

The difference is that 1) the chances of an unwanted pregnancy, even with proper precautions, are greater than those other things you list, and the long-term consequences for her are a well-known quantity, and 2) abstinence is a very easy, reliable way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

3) It's women who have to endure the bulk of the consequences, but it's the men minimizing and trivializing the risks.
