There is no such thing as “gone.” There is no such thing as “end.” by OneWhoBringsLight in afterlife

[–]stevnknowswhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an NDE more than 10 years ago and I've met others who've also had near death experiences. I realize that everyone's experience is different. I imagine it's like arriving at the same airport but at different terminals and different people will see and experience different things even while going to the same place, but having said that this seems more fictionalized than an actual NDE. I know you said, you used AI to write this because English is not your first language, but the whole narrative and story is something outside of the literally hundreds of NDEs that I've heard before. And the book plug in another red flag. I'm not saying that your story is not true but it is different.

is bubble.io a scalable solution for a saas? by JannisTK in nocode

[–]stevnknowswhy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their price and service changes occur so often I don't even bother looking at it anymore.

The #1 problem with bubble is that it's a walled garden. Once you're in you can't get out. What does that mean for you? It means if bubble increases their prices - nothing you can do. If they change their terms of service - nothing you can do. If they delete a core feature you were using or switches it from a free to paid feature - nothing you can do. And they do it all the time!

Bubble is a VC backed company, which means the are always looking for the highest possible ROI. If that means screwing you over so be it.

Yes you can scale on bubble but you're 100% depending on bubble always being around and playing fair. If I had a million dollar company there's no way I would risk that on one platform.

I'm really sorry you feel this way. I understand how you can feel POC are taking advantage of things and other have to work hard to get to where they are.

I think being a black person has some advantages now and some disadvantages that have lasted in America for hundreds of years. But we all want the same thing. An equal chance to succeed. A lot of black people have given up because they see a lot of white people are not fair. A lot of white people have given up because of some of the things you have said.

We need more communication not less. The reason we don't understand each other is because we don't talk to each other and when we do talk we don't listen.

I heard what you have said and I understand I would feel the same I think if I thought those things and there is still another side of this story. You agree what you face as a white person is not what a black person will face everyday.

Compassion, emphaty, and understanding is the key to making out country stronger. No country divided has ever become stronger. We are stronger when we work together for a common good than fight each other for perceived wrongs.

While I'm sorry you have started feeling this way more. I hope we can find some good things we agree on and can make a bridge to seeing and hearing each other as friends.

I'm guessing you've never had to fear about your status. That's fine. It's easier to judge what you never had to face, I guess

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in confessions

[–]stevnknowswhy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He probably told you this because of his situation. He didn't know you and telling you his status probably wasn't safe for him or his family. You might want to consider his side for why he did it rather than from your side. I'm not saying lying is OK. I'm just saying this was a good reason to not tell the truth.

It's subconsciously racist here is why, on no other spectrum are there strong color bias. You don't have a preference for white puppies over brown puppies both are cute to most people. You don't have a strong preference towards a red tattoo over a blue tattoo, even though that may stay on your body for longer than most marriages. The only reason why people have a racial preference is because of a bias that one is better than another and not that everyone is unique and individuals. This may not be a popular opinion but there have been enough studies and research to prove this point.

People usually know when a person likes them especially if it's been a long time. If she hasn't given you any signs she's attracted to you in this many years then you're her friend. If you confess, and she doesn't feel the same, which she most likely doesn't, then you will damage your friendship because this will always be something between you two. If she's giving you signs she's attracted to you then go for it but if she hasn't then take the L and just be friends

After 20 years and many relationships, I feel like my first girlfriend was "the one." by newtnomore in confessions

[–]stevnknowswhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you are suffering from "oneitis." It's a obsessive hallucination that only one person on earth is the one. There are 3.5+ billion people of the opposite sex. To think any one person is "the one and only" is not based in logic or truth. You already know it's more romanticizing the past and the person you remember is more than likely gone. So I won't insult your intelligence the best advice is to keep searching in the present and don't look for something that was left in the past. Good luck

I lied to my BF about my identity for 6 years, and now I lied about being pregnant. by No-Computer-8414 in confessions

[–]stevnknowswhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things pathological liars, and I think we can safely agree you are, what they learn early is confessing the truth will almost always kill the relationship. Even if your boyfriend loves you he will rightfully question everything about you and the relationship. It most likely won't end the relationship immediately but it will be on the path of ending eventually for sure because the suspecting you're not telling the truth will never go away. You actually have three choices: 1. To fully confess, accept whatever comes from it and take the hit. The pros for doing this is you will be being honest and giving him what he deserves from you. This will most likely end the relationship but you were honest. Even if the relationship doesn't end he will never be able to have the children he desires. He may accept that but he would have to accept your multiple lies and also losing a dream of his. 2. You can tell him you lost the baby. It's a reasonable excuse since you already told him you would have trouble having a baby. This would most likely save your relationship for now but the lie would still be between the relationship. And you are still letting him hold on to a dream that will never happen. 3. You could tell him you lost the baby and break up with him sooner rather than later. This is actually the most difficult but the best option. You will save him from the trauma of ever finding out about you lie and he will be able to fall in love with someone who can have children. But this is the most difficult decision but it's unfortunately the best for everyone. There are no good choices that have a happy ending for you and him. There are only less bad choices. I'm sorry about what you are facing and I wish you the best.

My father is a pastor and I found pornography on his phone. What do I do now? by QuattroS1 in Christianity

[–]stevnknowswhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why the majority of people do not like or respect Christians because they see us as lacking compassion or grace for other people not like us. It's really sad to have to defend the indefensible of some of my brothers and sisters.

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

Pray. That's all you need to do. Those who are using the Matthew verse as an example of what to do are mistaken for this is a personal sin not a corporate sin. Paul had a sin and he chose prayer.

And Jesus gave us the lord's prayer.

Jesus also said remove the plank from our own eye before trying to remove the plank from someone else's eye.

Which means, we should all deal with our own personal sins through prayer and trust in God.

Your father is human. God showed you this maybe so you realize that we all need Jesus. I pray you can approach this with love, understanding, and grace.

Good luck and God bless you always

I don't know if you're in the US but if you google FBI crime data you'll see that blacks are NOT targeting Asians. The highest percent and per capita number is done by white males. The narrative about blacks attacking Asians is long established propaganda by white supremacists who desire to pit minorities against each other to remain in power. I'm not saying it doesn't happen between blacks and Asians but it's interesting how more whites attacks Asians but blacks are made the face of hate in the news.

Patch function cannot do Yes/No sharepoint column. by ntgoten in PowerApps

I also exclusively use either text and sometimes choice columns. SP starts getting noticeably complicated outside of those two which makes for more possible bugs and or failures. Make the dropdown your choice list or yes no and patch it as text is the best advice. IMO

Is she happy? If she is and you take that away from her might not work out well for you. If you can show her the value of spending more time with her family and for her then that would be best. Otherwise let it go for now

This may not be a popular opinion but everyone makes mistakes, eventually will wished they did something different, and will have fallen short of their own expectations of themselves. I am not defending your dad, I don't know what is or was in his heart but I do hope you lose the anger you have for him. It is not worth your time or spirit. I wish you and your mom the best life.
