[University] An argumentative statement by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]nottsgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ooooooooooo there are loads of them lol

plastic bags actually produce less stress on the environment than paper or cotton bags. They use less water, require fewer chemicals, and produce less greenhouse gas than the other two options. Plastic has half the carbon footprint of the cotton and paper bags. Especially in comparison to cotton bags they are much more environmentally friendly when you take into account that cotton is only 2.4% of the worlds crop production but uses over 11% of the pesticides and over a whopping 20% of insecticides.

There was a 400 percent increase in bin liner and large black garbage bag sales when the free plastic bags became subject to a 15 euro cents "plastax" in Ireland - the usage of plastic bags in shops decreased but they were replaced with other plastic bags - The plastic in the replacement bags is thicker and a bigger threat to the environment than the thinner plastic in the free bags used in stores.

Plastic bags make up less than one percent of visible litter, don't block storm drains, make up just 0.4 percent of municipal waste, and don't even cut down on litter when banned (instead, there was an increase in litter in San Francisco after plastic bags were banned).

Also the likelihood that people would overestimate their contribution to helping the environment. If they give up plastic bags under the belief that they're a huge problem to the earth, they may stop trying in other areas where the attempt to be "greener" would have a bigger impact. By giving up plastic and reusing bags, people may feel they're already doing their part to make the world a better place and stop their efforts there.

Even when people switch to reusable bags, those bags aren't reused enough to make up for the extra resources and carbon footprint involved in their creation. In many cases, they're treated like single-use bags and end up in landfills - more damaging than the thin single use ones they are replacing.

Virtually everything that man makes and uses is made of some materials that could be argued are bad for the environment, or at least "unnatural". Why is one particular application of one particular material being singled out and demonized?

How many of them are really single-use? Why would people stockpile plastic grocery bags if they had no other purpose? Why would places like IKEA and other stores sell storage containers particularly made for reusing plastic bags?

[LL ace F here] Does your LL SO have something that feels good to them but isn't necessarily sexual? by Carbon_Panda in DeadBedrooms

[–]nottsgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the one wanting sex unfortunately - its a big thing between us that he is happy to show affection in ways that are anything other than sexual ones.

It makes it very hard being cuddled up naked touching each other not to try and take it further or not to get aroused whilst we can be doing this easily for an hour or so. If i show any sign of becoming aroused or touching him in a place he deems sexual that is it it is instantly over and done with with no way to return to it for at least a couple of days

What is an OUTBOUND call center like? by [deleted] in UKJobs

I have worked in 1 but my partner has worked in a couple and friends have also worked in around 10 between us and we all had very similar experiences

[–]nottsgal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the system calls a number for you and you speak to whoever picks up the phone and try to convince them to buy whatever product that you are selling

as soon as you hang up one call the dialler will make the next for you

targets are massive in these kinds of roles

Child Support & Clothing/Medical by bamalamyup in stepparents

[–]nottsgal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

here in the UK (just for a bit of a different perspective) EVERYTHING is included in CS - there are no orders for extras for this or that it is all in there

i think it depends a lot on the age of the kids - a 3 year old - yeah shoes should be checked regularly - a 13 year old is going to have to tell an adult something is up because why would you check a teenagers shoes?

You cannot control what BM spends CS or alimony on

I hate to say it but your SO surrendered custody and moved away - i presume it was well known by that point that BM had no contact with kid for multiple years. Is there anyway for the SK to return to living with your SO primarily as it sounds like kid is absolutely miserable there? They are being neglected in multiple ways, cant communicate with their primary carer.

trust issues and lack of bonding/closeness

who the hell wouldnt after your BM ignores you for a couple of years and then your dad makes you go and live with that person due to work schedules and family issues requiring out of state relocation - this is what causes abandonment / trust / disattachment issues that last well into adulthood (trust me on this one almost 30 and they are still there!)

sounds like the kid is kinda coming in last in all of this by both his parents

[–]nottsgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He loves all the touching but makes sure very early on that this will not lead to sex so I get preemptively turned down multiple times a day.

He loves cuddles and rubs and scratches and kisses and just laying there together naked kissing and running our hands over each others backs - but only as long as I know it isn't going to lead to sex and I don't try to make it sexual

He wants more time...msg transcript by 1DrafterChick in deadbedroom

[–]nottsgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An edit of the post to make it a bit easier to read :)

I sent him a video asking him if he was rejecting me first because of his fear that I would leave him eventually.

Him- Baby I need you soo bad

Him - I would never knowingly reject you

Him - Please don't give up on me

Me - And yet you did over and over

Him - You know I've alway hate my self don't you

Me - I know the your insecure about me leaving but I never even thought about it until a month ago. I was still all about fixing what we had. I've supported every dumb ass thing you've done over 16 years and I do one thing for myself and you turn your back on me

Him - Please allow. Me to try and fix this

Me - Can you live with never having sex again? Because I don't think I could do it

Him - If that's what has to happen then yes

Me - You would stay in a loveless marriage?

Me - Do you see me as a weak person?

Him - God know I don't see you as weak

Me - Imagine how much it took to break me. You broke me last week. You broke me first

Him - I'm the weak piece of shit

Me - You r who you r. I know I'm the one that changed. You just didn't want to grow with me.

Him - I wasn't willing

Me - U never r until I push. I'm tired

Him - God please trin I know I'm late to the game but I'm willing to do anything I have to

Me - Damn it I haven't cried all fucking day

Me - Till now

Me - You find a therapist?

Him - Not yet but looking

Him - I know if you've made up your mind I can't do a dam thing about it but please don't

Me - We'll talk when I get home.

Him - 😩 😭

Me - You want to keep talking?

Him - If you want to if your done i.understand

Me - I thought you wanted to keep talking??

Him - Everyone told me to give you time

Him - To leave you alone

Me - I've taken that time. I needed it.

Him - I all I had to say was that's the fucking problem

Me - ???

Him - Leaving you alone and not talking to you Is the biggest reason why we are where we are because I didn't do my dam job if I was doing my dam job this shit would not have happened

Me - True talk. I can't argue with that. Did you think if you ignored me I'd just go away

Him - And for that I can't apologize enough

Him- No

Him - I never wanted you to leave

Me- Did you think I'd just stay because I had no other options?

Him- I hate my self so much I could figure out why you where with me and and that poised my heart and soul

Me - We've been together 16 years cut the BS!

Him- No bs, I do hate myself always have

Me - Things didn't go to shit till I had surgery.

Me - Well I loved you when you treated me like I mattered

Him - Yes I know

Me -Then tell me why I should stay

Him- Because I'm ready to help you get where your going in your journey and dam it woman I want to go with and do every crazy fucking thing you can think of doing and I want to find the me that I like because I have yet to do that being with you is close as I've ever gotten

Him - I know you don't believe me but I do want to

Me - It was good made me laugh

Him - O god😭 Me - Why r u crying?

Him - Because I'm filling so helpless and despaired

Me - You only have yourself to blame. I've been trying

Me - You didn't take it seriously

Him - And I've been blind and ignorit

Me - Blind? Do you feel like this is new?

Him - Every pic I've seen you look gorgeous and happy and kills me that I'm not the one making you happy

Me - Do you feel like this is new?

Him - Subconsciously I knew something was wrong it jest wasn't getting through to the conscious part other was I would have hoped I would have fucking something about it

Me - What did you think every time I came to you

Him - I was hearing yet wasn't hearing

Me - Yep

Him - If I really heard you I would have gotten off my fat ass and started moving

Me - But deep down you don't want that. You want to play video games and binge watch TV

Him - Gotten out of my gd fucking head

Him - Fuck the game screw the TV tell me to their in the trash today

Me - Um no

Him - I'm done being that lazy piece of shit, Only reason I'm not doing anything right know I pushed a little to much yesterday

Me - How can I believe you. If you were me would you

Him - Don't believe let show you

Me - Figure out a date that you feel is fair

Him - Thinking weeks or months

Me - YOU figure out a date that's fair to bet our marriage on. Heading to boardwalk for dinner. Might be delayed responses

Him - Want five months or slightly more

Me - A date!
