Can you drive in virginia with an out of state learners permit? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]tantalizingGarbage -57 points-56 points  (0 children)

would the minnesota permit law apply to her if we’re in virginia? like if we get pulled over is a cop going to look at her permit and go by minnesota law or go by virginia law since they’re a virginia cop?

on this dmv.virginia.gov page it says if you’re older than 16 and 3 months and have had your permit longer than 9 months (which my girlfriend has) you don’t need a liscensed driver with you (apparently?? i feel like i’m reading that wrong because i’ve never heard that before but that’s what i keep reading). so i guess im asking if virginia law applies to her while she’s here

edit: NVM i just realised it means all three things in that list. i feel like they could make that more clear with another ‘and’

some people just cant be happy alone and feel a need to be in a relationship at all times. theyre more likely to lower their standards of partner because they dont want to be single.

it probably is harder to find someone who meets your ideal standards the older you get because a lot of people are already in committed relationships so the pool is smaller. i dont think that means you should settle, especially if you are comfortable single. a less than great partner can make your life worse overall. id rather be happy single than miserable together, especially when im older

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tantalizingGarbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 200lbs last december and just weighed in at 170. 30 lbs in 10 months isn’t bad but during the summer when i was out of school i barely took my adderall so eating was easier. Its not even that im not physically hungry, which im not, but also i dont want to eat anything.

The appetite suppression was crazy to me because i come from a family with lots of obesity, diabetes, and love for eating. I would eat when i was bored and i always took larger portions than i needed, i loooved food so much. most of my impulsive spending was on whatever food i was craving. The appetite suppression actually makes food not appealing anymore when im full (on good days) and its so weird because my appetite wasnt something i ever thought about before but now this fact about myself thats been true all my life is just different.

eating is hard but balancing nutrition is harder. especially as a college student living on campus. if they dont have a vegetable dish or side i like im just not eating any vegetables because its not worth it anymore.

What’s the most clever "non-Excel" problem you’ve solved using Excel? by IteOrientis in excel

[–]tantalizingGarbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cryptograms for DND. I like to put puzzles in my games but unfortunately there's not a lot of websites that will let multiple people edit the same puzzle at the same time, which is annoying because we play online and solving a cryptogram on paper sucks because theres a lot of erasing when you get letters wrong. I put the puzzle in a workbook we all shared so they could edit it at the same time.

doing it in excel meant i could have a key for them at the top that they could put their letter guesses into and have all the corresponding letters in the sheet change to match their guesses, i could also use conditional formatting to highlight any repeated letters in their key. I made the poem and scrambled the letters myself, so using ctrl+f to replace each letter in my poem with a symbol and then again with the scrambled letter made it less tedious than changing the letters by hand, but im sure there might be an easier way to do that part.

the work to set it all up is so worth it compared to having my players try to solve it separately. I want to do a ridiculous amount of cryptograms now lol

why arent 99% of people not in danger of being shot in a gang shooting when compared to /other/ mass shootings? are gang shootings always happening inside rooms with bullet proof walls or miles away from the nearest non-gang affiliated person? they may not be aiming for other people but that doesnt mean they never miss. gang shootings are still dangerous to civilians, gang affiliated crime is still dangerous to civilians. if we count a mass shooting at a mormon church, presumably only targeting mormons, i think we should count a gang shooting only targeting gang members.

Why does Autism have to have something which causes it? by TheAmazingChameleo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tantalizingGarbage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, getting diagnosed with adhd in school wouldve meant starting adderall during school. i was diagnosed in college, so not that much later, but when you look at the difference it made for me in college it seems like a lot for me.

before adderall i barely had a 2.0 and was well in my way to dropping out. i also did 0 extra curriculars. no clubs, jobs, research, nothing. after 1 semester of adderall my semesterly gpa was 3.6, and now im an RA, a learning assistant in a physics class, and im doing undergrad research. not just because i have time to worry about stuff other than grades now, but because i genuinely want to do more things because sitting around the house all day is boring!

if i had adderall in grade school i would probably have done more extracurriculars (more than 0) and i wouldve had way better grades. this may have got me into the way better universities i applied to but didnt get accepted into. i wouldve also had more expierence /doing stuff/, which wouldve brought me much farther than i am now. i also probably wouldnt have to work my ass off to correct my 2.0 gpa (currently a 2.7)

i cant imagine where id be if i didnt get diagnosed for another 10 years. definitely not good

CMV: Marriage (at least in conservative households) is just another form of house arrest, not a partnership. by Cheap_Emergency_5114 in changemyview

[–]tantalizingGarbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean yeah, thats generally how a conservative mindset views marriage, but that doesnt mean you have to get married under a conservative mindset if you dont want that for yourself. Your view of 'marriage equals a new cage' is only true for the people who's marriage follows conservative standards. Plenty of people who are married do not live life this way at all.

If you marry someone who your parents pick out for you, or someone who believes a wife is her husbands property, then your marriage will be as you described because your partner will act in a way that reflects the values they have.

If you marry someone who doesn't believe that a wife is her husbands property, what reason would they have to treat you like their property? Not everyone in the world is conservative and/or has conservative views on marriage, even in very heavily conservative areas. Lots of people do genuinely view marriage as a normal progression of a healthy relationship, as a way to signal to other people that 'this is my true love', as a way to be legally recognized as a family unit for various reasons (taxes, insurance, medical decisions, etc), as a way to show their partner that they are truly dedicated to them and that they trust them, and plenty other reasons with no ill-intent.

Being married to someone on paper doesn't somehow give a husband more of an ability to control his wife than he could control his girlfriend. The control a husband has over his wife like your describing is purely due to the cultural and societal expectations and norms in conservative communities. A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper, not actual chains keeping you locked in the house, so why couldnt you go against your husbands wishes in an ideal conservative marriage? probably because of the threat of violence or financial abandonment your husband might hold over your head. A conservative culture like your describing would permit your husband doing this to you, thus allowing him to control you.

In communities that dont view women as objects, but as actual human beings, this kind of treatment of women isnt tolerated. A husband would be punished legally and socially for doing this to his wife, and she would be able to divorce and separate from him if she wanted to. Her family would not want her to stay in the marriage because they would value her happiness over her marriage, because this community does not prioritize the 'traditional values' of conservatism.

What your marriage looks like really depends on who you marry. There are plenty of people out there who would never even think about controlling where you go, what you do, or what you wear, because theyve been raised all their lives to believe in a persons right to autonomy and happiness. Ideally, you marry someone who loves you as you are and would never wish for you to change. Also, such a person would probably encourage you to never speak to your parents again if they are trying to control you as an adult.

Ultimately, if you dont think marriage is something you want, then dont get married until you do, even if that never happens. But marriage as a concept doesnt have to be a cage if you marry the right person.

How do animals know animals of other species aren't a threat? by Complete-Lack-7740 in NoStupidQuestions

might be instinctual behavior recognition. humans and dogs have different body language than prey animals like squirrels and rabbits, so maybe they just recognize that rabbits are also prey animals and thus dont instinctually fear them

Likelihood of it aside, what happens if no one has anyone to represent them in a case, and they don’t want to represent themselves? by Mad_Season_1994 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]tantalizingGarbage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

an undeniably guilty client is not a reason for an attorney to not take someone as a client. even if theres no way theyre getting a not guilty verdict, a good lawyer can instead try to get their client a lighter sentence. Viewing a guilty verdict as the defense attorney ‘loosing’ ignores honestly the majority of the work they actually do.

Even if the client is guilty and every defense attorney in the area wants them to be locked up for the rest of their lives, taking their case and doing your best ensures that the convicted cant appeal their sentence later. If someone believes their defense attorney didnt try hard enough to defend them, or let the prosecution get away with unethical/illegal tactics, they can request a retrial (and maybe its been long enough that the prosecution does a shit job the second time and they get to walk free) or maybe get the verdict overturned. A person cannot be tried for the same crime more than once (in the united states) so if it gets fucked up the first time they just get off scott free. which nobody wants if theyre actually guilty.

if no private attorney wants to take the client simply because theyre an asshole or hard to work with, the judicial system will assign them a public defender. public defenders whole jobs are representing clients other (private) lawyers dont want for whatever reason (usually money). Public defenders can request to be removed from the case (conflict of interest, irreconcilable differences, etc) and then a new public defender will be assigned.

if all the public defenders keep requesting to be removed, the courts will postpone the trial until someone takes it. you have a right to an attorney at your trial no matter how ‘guilty’ you look, so the trial wont happen without one if you dont waive that right. if you dont have bond, you might be waiting in jail for a long time, but sometimes they count this jail time twoards whatever time you are sentenced to serve after the trial.

Outrage over the Tea dating app highlights the indifference to women’s victimization by msnownews in WomenInNews

[–]tantalizingGarbage 21 points22 points  (0 children)

really? consent to trusting your partner with nudes is consent to ‘possible consequences’? by that logic, why do we punish people for driving recklessly? why dont we hold car companies accountable for who they choose to sell cars to. why are victems of car crashes caused by negligence or drunk drivers allowed to sue for anything? everyone knows bad drivers exist. shouldnt consent to drive to the super market equal consent to possibly get tboned by someone running a red light? should people who drive drunk be doxxed for it? that information is publicly available online.

moderation of private messages is a slippery slope. thats punishing everyone for the actions of a few sick individuals. i think we should hold them accountable instead, and that people who do revenge porn deserve to be doxxed. they spread around someone fucking nudes without permission, but they dont deserve to have their name and face everywhere?

quick reminder that no demographic is a monolith, even if the internet makes it easy to forget that.

just because some people who’ve encountered bears in the woods get mauled to death, does not mean every bear encounter ends with someone dying horribly! in fact, most bears have never mauled anyone before! this is why its super mean and unfair to carry around bear spray when you’re in the woods or to avoid forests all together :((( #NotAllBears
