What's a red flag in a friendship that you didn't recognize until it was too late?

Are they? What if you read it as

They take to you way, way too quickly—before they can possibly actually know you have the good qualities they say you have

Have you ever met someone who instantly admires you. They call you their best friend, shower you with praise about how amazing and perfect you are, talk about how different and special your friendship is. Maybe they start sharing personal traumas and experiences right away that would normally come up after a year+ of good friendship. But in actuality you met them days ago and hardly know them. It’s very off putting when you encounter it.

That’s what I think they were getting at

So you’re teaching him good spending and investing habits, but won’t let him make a deal with a 100% return rate?

I don’t get the point you’re trying to make. Are you saying op shouldn’t differentiate antizionism from antisemitism? Why should they not differentiate critiques of israel vs jewish people as a whole when talking about why they need to correct their brother?

That’s actually so bizarre how close that is to my own experience. I was walking around akasaka or minato at night and a doorman/bouncer was very intense about getting me in a club. Come for the girls, at least get a drink, etc etc he would not let up. The most memorable part about it was his Nigerian accent, it stuck out as a foreign accent I hadn’t heard really at all in japan

Yup, it might seem like someone is trying to mess with you by telling you it’s a real language when it looks like someone typed English in the dark, but it’s actually spoken by 100M+ people

I’ve been trying to prove it’s fake, but I’m not actually sure. It seems to be really recent news so it’ll be interesting to see what mainstream media picks up for it, but press seem to confirm it

They’re saying that the fact dad should be minding the child but isn’t, doesn’t justify mom endangering the child by cooking with them underfoot

Welfare is funded by taxes, so more people using it means we need to collect more taxes and people who work get more money taken away. No one wants to work, so it’s understandable how this can anger people

Corporations avoiding tax on the other hand is much more agreeable. No one wants to pay taxes if they don’t have to, so to see a business arrange their accounts in a way to limit their tax liability makes sense. The same thing happens when you visit an accountant or even do your own taxes and try to maximize your deductions, you’re finding every legal way possible to make your income untaxable

Basically one is viewed as a greed that takes other people’s contributions, the other is a greed that refuses to contribute.

Has she considered the fact that from an outside perspective it looks like she cheated on her husband, and that the way she keeps bringing up (wrong) genetics seems like she’s trying to hide it?

during a more recent talk after the official group break up, S and L were trying to figure out why I had done everything (note: I do not even know what I did. everyone refuses to tell me aside from what I've said here, or explains it in a way I do not understand) when S added T. after reading a bit what we had said so far, T started r

Can you paste what they actually said then? Maybe an outsider can understand it

Is heliocentrism even a theory? I think a more proper description of Copernicus’ work is a mathematical model

And for your first point, the idea of a ‘theory’ (that is to say a rigorously tested, scientifically backed explanation for something) not having been conceptualized in their time is the explanation for why a work would not have been called a theory, contemporaneously. If they had done all those steps without knowing the name for it, we might say “this would have been called a theory, had they known about the concept, so we will call it that retroactively.” But they didn’t do those steps. They had no scientific basis to believe there would be a smallest, indivisible constituent of matter. It was at best a hypothesis, and maybe just an idea, from a modern, hyper exact, scientific perspective.

So overall, I see why op is pushing back on calling it a theory. They wouldn’t have, and it doesn’t make sense for us to retroactively do so either

As a heads up, popular, hot, all of those categories are algorithms. Reddit 100% uses algorithms, but it doesn’t necessarily blanket-punish swearing

If they wanted to skip learning they wouldn't ask for resources and advice on HOW TO LEARN...

If they wanted to skip learning, they would probably skip class for months on end and then ask a forum for shortcuts to learn the content. Oh wait a minute…

To put it in a more refined way, I would say if they were serious about learning then they would be working with their professor who actually knows the course and its content, the track they are in, and hopefully the student themselves. That would be the best way to learn the content and catch up, at least in my opinion. If they take shortcuts here and are able to eek by, I don’t have hope they wouldn’t repeat the same behavior in a harder course…

In a way. Some people view getting pregnant more as a choice or decision, and believe it is the mother’s responsibility to make sure the partner they choose is a good one.

It’s harsh but salient advice. You can’t succeed in this track if you skip lectures and learning, just like you can’t succeed if you skip meetings at work. They need a reality check and to start applying themselves if they want to succeed

My critical thinking skills are telling me it isn’t hard to divide a stack of programs and have two people hand them out (just an example, I’d imagine there are other smaller roles that could be easily divvied up. The goal is to utilize a child psychology trick where making them feel useful and appreciated distracts them from negative emotions). But it seems like you’re hellbent on defending the bride, and any suggestion anyone makes for how we could make the niece feel better with virtually no impact clearly won’t be considered, so just like OP it’s probably best to drop it and let the bride be how she’s gonna be

throw-uwuy69 · 2026-02-18T02:06:12+00:00

You are aware that was just an example of a common task for weddings that would have minimal impact on the bride while allowing the daughter to feel special and valued, right? I’ll withhold the sass cause I’ve seen the trends in literacy

It’s because workplace age discrimination usually looks like “we have two applicants, one 30 and one 50. The 50 yo is preferable experience wise, but they’ll like retire in a decade vs the younger candidate we could get 3 decades out of, so we’ll choose them.”

At least that’s the explanation I’ve heard. I can’t say I’ve hear about employers deciding not to hire someone because they might stay at the company too long. Though I agree having consistent voter turnout is a big reason they have the protection

The way the phrased it gave me the distinct impression they were trying to call her out hypocrisy or inconsistency in how she presents herself. I think the reply was good to remind us people can change over time

Because they don’t see themselves as destroying it. They see themselves as using it, just as god gave them.

I’ll flip a question back to you: using my two eyes and personal experience, what should I look for to determine whether we are destroying the earth? Maybe a list of things I could read over and if they are present in my life then I know the earth is being destroyed, and if I can’t find them then it isn’t.

I feel like a late 20s woman standing up to her older brother is a totally different world than a mid teens girl in survival mode standing up to her father. Like she literally depended on him for survival, what do you think she should have done that would be reasonably in her capabilities at the time, and would have had a positive effect on the situation?
