She is a narcissist, talking herself up and putting down the people around her. Constantly bulldozing over clearly established boundaries by deliberately misnaming Worf, harassing Picard and Odo after they've made it very clear they aren't comfortable with her advances, and just completely dismissing almost everything her daughter says. It's clear she just does what she wants and expects everyone to go along with it, making a dramatic scene if anyone objects.
She's a rich bitch that doesn't care about anyone except herself and only really seems to help people when it already aligns with what she wants. It's understandable that Deanna only talks to her mother when pushed into it.
Such a small max length is a good indicator they aren't handling passwords correctly. A modern website should be able to send and hash kilobytes of text without the user seeing a significant delay. Having a max size like this sounds like they are storing the password as text instead of a hash.
Or some dumb project manager said passwords longer than 24 characters look bad in the UI and wanted the limit.
The major Abrahamic religions have the same root and have had a heavy influence on most of the world. This is largely due to the Roman empire and it's successors adopting and spreading Christianity in Europe and the Muslim caliphates spreading Islam through the Middle East and Africa.
Further east, Hinduism is the largest polytheistic religion and features a number of prominent goddesses. Though Hinduism has a lot of variety and the exact deities and their genders change depending on the adherents.
Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism don't really focus on any deities.
Those are the most widespread religions, many others were eradicated or sidelined by European imperialism. Out of those left, many are animist religions, believing in spirits that can be a variety of genders.
Some classical polytheistic religions are still practiced today. They usually have some major goddesses in the mix.
If you go back to ancient Mesopotamia, Inanna/Ishtar is the head of her pantheon.
Government workers don't negotiate for salary, instead they have a set scale based on their job's pay grade, adjusted for the local cost of living. The lowest level jobs are GS1, followed by GS2, etc. Every GS1 working in the same area will receive the same salary
The "how are you" exchange is really just a conversation starter, a way for either one of you to talk about something that is on your mind. If you don't reciprocate that, most people will just assume you don't want to talk to them.
In general, if you just respond and don't make any effort to ask questions or keep the conversation going, people will assume you don't want to talk to them. You aren't obligated to respond, but they are also not obligated to continue talking to someone who is clearly uninterested in talking to the .
So I guess the question is: Why do you want to talk to people if you aren't interested in them at all?
If you're looking for support and friendship, that is a 2-way street that requires you to support and care about them as well. Otherwise the other person can feel like you are just using them.
If you just feel that this is something you need to do to not feel like a failure, that's different. It's not a failure to struggle with something, even if it seems everyone else just "gets it". It's just human. You might be happier with more socializing, but you are fine and perfectly acceptable without it.
All that said, depression is also a liar. It will tell you that people don't like you or at least don't care. It will cherry-pick bad memories to drive a wedge between you and others to feed itself.
Would you put whipped cream on jello/jelly? That's also dairy and features heavily in dessert. Cream cheese is used to make some icing, cheese cake is basically a brick of sweetened cream cheese. So cream cheese also shows up in desserts.
So the person who came up with it was just familiar with how desserts work.
Salad doesn't mean vegetables. Salad is a dish made of a mixture of discrete pieces. See other things like potato salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, antipasto salad, caprese salad, etc. You're going to have a lot of food hangups if this bothers you.
For me, they manage to trigger the "SNAKE!" and "SPIDER!" panic responses simultaneously. The rational part of my brain likes them, the instinctual part tells me to smash it with a rock
The EEA shows up in the list of places it does not apply. They worded it strangely, first calling out the US as a place where it does apply. Then they change it up and say it also applies to anywhere not on this specific list of places
The national guard is part of the military, so funded and supported by the feds. Unlike normal army units though, each state or territory has its own national guard unit under the command of the governor. The intention is to give each state the power to quickly respond to emergency situations without needing federal approval. They're the successors to the old state militias, but have much stronger federal ties now.
Not even close. Any spot on the Maine coast should be within an 8 hour drive. The populated areas should only be a couple hours. Florida is like 30 hours of straight driving from Vermont
Newsweek is particularly bad with this. According to them, Trump "loses it" or "explodes" every time he makes a critical comment about someone else
