Being wrong is just the first step to being right. The biggest thing is realizing there’s something to learn waiting for you, but you never learn if you don’t risk being wrong and making mistakes. (I promise I’m not AI, despite that sounding like a generic platitude)
My childhood didn’t teach me that (woof..), learning about great successes did. They all have a series of fuckups along the way but kept going. Mostly because they came from rich families and had the luxury to fail, but let’s not dwell on circumstances..
Ships can absolutely be beached without being up on shore though. So in the water.
Because they are super heavy and can thus run aground further out than a small boat might. They are beached, meaning they are stuck in sand of a beach, but they aren’t on the beach, and are wholly within the water. Because that definition had “especially” and not “only”, thus it can go out further than what we would traditionally label as a beach between high and low tide.
Honestly I enjoy when I get all riled up and prove myself wrong before I post whatever bullshit I was going to write. Because I learn something and did a lot of work for it so I won’t make that mistake again.
What bugs the fuck out of me is when I’m right and I know it for a fact.. but I can’t find the right evidence because I can’t remember the right string of words to get through SEO hell, and there’s nothing to dispute it, but it’s just hard to find. And then I get bored looking and give up even replying.
I got a “sales” job once and during training this is basically what they preached. Find the pain point and lay into it until they relent and sign up for the thing that will fix the pain.
Made me super uncomfortable and I quit 2 days into training, because a lot of what the place did was accessibility accommodations, so it was basically harassing old and disabled people going about their day, and making them feel bad about their shitty situation to take their money. No thanks.
Yeah, if I’m being honest, I don’t care a lick about what someone who was being actively poisoned for months wants for their attempted murderer in this sort of incident. It shouldn’t even have been a remote consideration.
Dynamic like this, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been worn down over the years and just accepts the situation.. I’m not saying I have any sort of insight here, but really bad calls all around either way.
Yo, what? When that husband or kid turns up dead down the line they are gunna be all shocked pikachu about it. At the very least she should have been ordered to an inpatient treatment facility and not just some wishy-washy mental health screening.
She actively, daily, tried for months to kill him. Probation shouldn’t be for that kind of premeditation. It should be for “oops I lost my temper” or “oops I wasn’t paying enough attention for a split second”, not this sort of planned out and executed multiply sort of thing.
Based on the fuzz on the torn corner, he likes rubbing on the broken box. I’d leave that one for him for a while as-is, replace it when he doesn’t use it anymore.
Oh yeah, ants I don’t fuck around with. They get liquid bait whenever I see one inside. Fruit flies also get traps (red wine in a glass, cover with plastic wrap and poke some holes, add a drop of dish soap to the wine to break surface tension so they fall in and drown)
But harmless insects/arachnids are fine by me. I grew up in an old house in the woods, catching snakes and bugs in brush piles with my cat. It’s sort of what I expect living to be like, honestly.
Huh. Ngl, that’s super weird, but I’m sorry that’s your experience, because this harmony thing I’ve got going on is pretty sweet, and I wish it for everyone. Tho the random bumblebee that finds her way to my living room 2-3x/yr perplexes me..
Haha I didn’t even bother. It came out of the blue and I said “ok, well I’m not going to, but good to know you wouldn’t be surprised or care if I did.”
For being almost 80, he’s pretty chill about social issues. His gf is an “I got mine so fuck y’all” sort though..
Admittedly I don’t know much about cryopreservation (looked into it many years ago as a curiosity) but my understanding, and the article says the same, is that they clinically die first and then it’s a rush to preserve them before too much breakdown happens. Since it’s quite expensive, most people only preserve their brain or head, which is removed before being frozen. I’m not sure legally they would be able to do this pre-death, since the harvesting/preserving would directly cause death as we currently understand and classify it, and assisted euthanasia of any flavor is illegal in most places.
Literally never, no. Occasionally they hang from their silk and get close, but not super often.
But my spiders know me. They see me every day and know I’m not gunna bother them even if I see them (I even talk to them sometimes) so they give me a wide berth as well. They mostly hang out where I can’t (or won’t) reach, which works for me. Only downside is cleaning up webs a few times a year.
What kind of spiders are crawling on you? That’s pretty unusual from what I understand, unless they just blow down on their silk or whatever? Or maybe you have a lot more spiders than I do and they just hide better ;)
