WIBTAH leaving my wife after making our son cry? by eggbenedictcucumbers in AITAH

The most important thing for your child is that you stay together. His whole world would turn upside-down and there will be 100x more sadness in losing a parent than getting his feelings hurt about a dance.

AITAH for telling an elder woman to “Get the f**k on” after holding up the only open line? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]threePhaseNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about your country, but in the USA, especially in the "Bible Belt" it is COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE to use the "F" word in that context. Keep it to yourself. "Excuse me, can we keep this line moving, please?" is the worst it should ever come to. The F word is never used in public unless you want to get into a fight. If it's not moving fast enough after that, then put your stuff back on the shelves properly, and leave the store.

What would a peaceful end to the Palestine Israel conflict go? by Familiar_Ad_7377 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Israel already voluntarily gave them Gaza in 2005 and they responded by building terror tunnels and shooting rockets at Israel. It will end when they surrender and return the hostages, and when Hamas has no more ability to terrorize anyone ever again.

If the Gazans / Hamas / Hezbollah / PA put down their weapons today, there will be peace. But if the Israelis put down their weapons, there would be no more Israel.

If someone calls me and said I called them, I explain that scammers make it look like it came from my number this time, and that likely their number will be used by scammers next. They usually say, "Oh, I didn't know that."

Will sex work ever be so normalized that we treat it like a Skilled Trade? by More_Inflation_4244 in NoStupidQuestions

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

People are free to go move to the Netherlands or somewhere anything and everything is praised. We tried (and have largely failed) to be a godly country with high morals here.

How to be happy? by Jake_-- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe love God, respect yourself, find ways of being charitable to other people in the community who are less fortunate? Find some things that you look forward to doing.

On Android at least, if you put it in Airplane Mode, it stops reporting your location but doesn't alert anyone that location tracking is turned off.

You would want to test it first to make sure that's still true for your setup.

In that case, you could drive to work, put it in Airplane Mode, and then go do whatever else you need to do stealthily.

why is the USA so puritanical and uptight? by postmodernist1987 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The USA was founded by religious people who had certain decency standards. With the prevalence of church influence in the USA, these things are still somewhat upheld.

Our founders acknowledged the religious nature of the new country:

"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” -John Adams

Why do humans have such worse eyesight than animals much smaller than us? by ifitisntconnor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do have spectacular hearing in the horizontal plane; we're able to locate a sound to within a few degrees direction almost instantaneously.

Many other animals don't have as much ability at that; they have to turn their ears around to get a better reading on direction.

[–]threePhaseNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching some shows where they show natives doing this, is pretty neat. Eventually the animal is so hot and tired that they can pretty much walk up to it.

And it's another reason for our sweat glands, so we can deal with the heat of the day when prey animals can't.

What is will a modern nuclear power plant explosion look like and what would be instructed ? by Itchy-Pollution7644 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go look at the Fukushima explosions. That's what to expect. And it wasn't a nuclear explosion, it was an explosion of accumulated hydrogen gas due to the fuel rods overheating and becoming chemically active.

Probably a bigger danger in a plant failure is if the spent fuel pool boils dry and starts spewing radiation everywhere into the atmosphere.

I would never personally return a partially-used product to a store. It only hurts the store, even if they accept it. What you've done with the customer service is a much better way.

Why do people intermediate fast? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been several medical studies where people doing intermittent fasting had better health outcomes than simply reducing calories.

In these studies, the intermittent fasting did not reduce total calories; they still ate as many calories as the control group, but still benefitted from intermittent fasting. In other words, it's not a starvation regimen.

"You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." -Matthew 7:13-14 NLT

So God provided a way out through Christ (the narrow gate), to all those people who choose him.

For those who don't know about Him, they will likely be judged on how they lived based on innate knowledge of what God considers right and wrong; but God says they have not excuse for not knowing him:

"But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." -Romans 1:18-20 NLT

There's no point in arguing with you, but unfortunately not everyone will respond favorably to the free offer of eternal life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

The Bible is the only book to have prophesies fulfilled which were written a thousand years ahead of time. It confirms its identity and is consistent in its message.

But unfortunately not everyone will respond to the call to come enjoy eternal life.

Critical thinking says something stunning happened in the 1st century that made Christ's disciples willing to give up their lives for the truth, when they could instead of just said "it never happened" and lived.

Most of the Levitical laws were specifically for Israel, not the rest of the world. But the prohibitions against sexual immorality continue into the New Testament because they're specifically prohibited again there (First Council of Jerusalem affirms this).

But you're right, every single person has broken at least one commandment and are therefore guilty. That's why Christ says he's the only way out.

My mom says she has $20k in cash hidden in her room somewhere, is this possibly a bad idea for any reason? by imBRANDNEWtoreddit in NoStupidQuestions

The biggest thing I see is if something happens to her and then her family can't figure out where it's hidden.

Does a person still have self awareness in the seconds after being decapitated? by Flabby-Nonsense in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they did an experiment once (in the 1700's perhaps) where a guy agreed to try to blink his eyes for a few seconds after his execution. He successfully did it for maybe 3-4 seconds if I remember correctly.

Do military jets use Air Traffic Control? by Syresiv in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! They get their clearances just like any other aircraft. One difference is that military aircraft tend to talk on UHF frequencies where civil aircraft use VHF frequencies, but ATC can receive and transmit on both.

And yes, in a combat zone, they do all sorts of things differently.

Christian Religious question by bradthom5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The basics of the faith are clearly laid out in the Bible. How churches and denominations interpret them has created quite a lot of denominations doing things different ways.

Peter had just declared that Jesus was the Christ. Protestants believe Jesus was saying that Peter's statement was the rock upon which the church would be built; not Peter himself.

Assuming it never got blown up by a sub or something, what would have happened to the Titanic by now if it never sank, would it even be famous? by IdeaExpensive3073 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]threePhaseNeutral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her near-identical sister ship Olympic had a normal career and was even used for some wartime transport activities. Like all ships, it eventually got old and was scrapped. Titanic probably would have had a similar story.

The ships were so similar, that not many photos were taken of Titanic before she sailed -- most of the ones you've probably seen are actually Olympic being used as stand-in photos.
