You expressed gratitude. You may not have meant it, but you’ve expressed it nonetheless. It doesn’t matter if the opposite party deserved it or not; “thank you” is an expression of gratitude, and the only polite ways they have of answering that is “you’re welcome” or “no problem”.
that is a very weird way of looking at it. “thank you” has always been a way of expressing gratitude.
yes, they may simply just be doing their job, but at the same time you are also doing what you as a customer should be doing: place your items on the counter, pay, get your stuff, and leave. there’s no need for you to thank someone; there’s no need for any words of exchange.
“thank you” may be a standard polite phrase, but so is “you’re welcome” or “no problem”. you were polite to them, so let them be polite to you by acknowledging your expression of gratitude.
paint and light are different. for light, you are adding colours onto black to make it brighter; for paint, you are subtracting colours from white to make it darker. thus, respectively, additive and subtractive colours.
red, yellow, and blue being “primary colours” is there because people probably think “magenta” and “cyan” are too complex of concepts to teach young kids. it is cool to have a way to make orange and purple without delving into paint ratios, though. it’s good enough for general use for sure, but if you want to get into colour accuracy for print, CMY is the way to go.
here’s a quick and simple cheat sheet to help you out!
additive colours (RGB; screen pixels, LEDs):
subtractive colours (CMY(K); paint, prints, colouring pencils):
red light + green light = yellow light
oh, easier, for sure.
mainstream programming languages are based on english terms, so if you know english already, a lot of programming syntax is already pretty self-explanatory, like “variable”, “print”, “if - then”, “while”, and “for (each)”. that’s really most you need when it comes to logic.
even easier if you already knew a programming language beforehand.
First-hand knowledge (I’m Cantonese), we have sarcasm.
I find it hard to believe that sarcasm can’t exist in some languages, honestly; just say something in an exaggerated tone while you mean the opposite.
stabilize my living situation; my life has just been upended, but there will for sure be many, many people who would help me integrate into society, whether it be housing, jobs, education, etc.
use my fame to gain wealth; either sue the show producers, or reach an agreement for a big paycheck. then, partner with hella companies for interviews, photoshoots, product endorsements, whatever. write my own biography.
make season 2, starring me on a new island, new characters, new story. the producers would pay me big bucks for that shit. milk the franchise for all its worth.
I feel this video of Jacob Collier conducting an orchestra from scratch may be the best representation of what conductors do.
first of all, you’re more than fine, and secondly, people should already understand what you mean when you say “women” in the context of abortion.
the word “woman” has been used historically and socially to refer to uterus-owners, and we have unfortunately not found a good word to replace it since the word “woman” has now been repurposed for the gender role that those people play in society.
it’s a super complex social and language issue that’s only recently been actively discussed, and no one is ever to blame for trying to catch up from the social norms they’ve grown up with.
Crispy bacon.
Maybe it’s because I’m gay, but I like actually having meat in my mouth.
Seems to be very common experience among Asians. My mum loves it and I can’t stand it, and I can’t imagine myself liking the vile gourd when I grow old.
The funny thing is, I might grow to like it and I vehemently and irrationally hate that idea.
the perfect way to make a hard boiled egg is to make a soft boiled egg and fuck it up by boiling it too long
ipa’s fun, and honestly very useful! more people should learn it at least.
yay, i’m learning german! i had to long press the s key to get that ß.
it’s funnier to use it as a B.
i mean, i get why people are annoyed by it, but personally i found that the thorn didn’t really impede my ability to read that guy’s posts. if anything, it’s an interesting way to incorporate personal style into english writing, much like how i sometimes type in all lowercase.
ßesides, it’s fun tø fuck around å little bît.
Replace sex with alcohol and maybe the issue will be more obvious for you. Knowingly providing a minor who is not my child with a “safe place” to drink is actually a larger liability.
Trying to compare safe sex with alcohol consumption is wild. One is actively harmful to the human body (and even more so to a developing one), and the other is not. I’ll let you guess which one is which.
There many places to have and enjoy sex. The key is not telling them to go fuck in the car or a pubic bathroom. It’s far more likely it will occur regardless. I have walked into my kitchen and interrupted oral sex.
Not worth the trouble, wouldn’t allow them in a bedroom door or no door ever.
So you know it would occur regardless, but you also don’t want it happening behind closed doors. Given those constraints, the kitchen scene is only natural.
This didn’t result in high fives but insteads discussions and and me informing the other teen’s parents. To be clear there was also no punishment.
Discussions on safe sex, great. Discussions on privacy, cool, though you could have just offered the privacy they needed. Informing on the other party’s parents, oh boy; unless you actively know their parents to be knowledgeable and reasonable, you may have placed that teen in danger. They were lucky to not have been in any trouble.
The condoms are the safety net.
I have made it very clear to my children that I cannot know because then I am legally required to intervene.
Condoms are a safety net against STDs. Sexual safety extends beyond protecting against STDs, and you, as a parent, are responsible for that. If anything goes wrong (e.g. emotional discomfort after the act, physical discomfort, broken condom, etc.), you would want to be the first person your child approaches; this “I cannot know” mentality is actively harming that.
My state has zero exceptions around this.
I am sorry to hear that. However, based on that and your previous statement about walking in on oral sex between (I presume) your then-underaged teen and their then-underaged partner, you were complicit in helping those juvenile criminals avoid legal persecution by not informing law enforcement.
To be clear, I’m just making light of your heavy focus on legality and liability.
It’s a nuanced approach. It’s possible they are being used for water balloons.
You are making excuses to justify offering condoms while still disallowing sex. Water balloons? Come on now.
And before you quote me on “disallowing sex” and say that you’ve never said that, saying that you “cannot know” or else you “would intervene” is very clearly doing that.
My state has laws that I do not agree with but which I must abide by.
The entirety of your arguments have been rooted in concerns about legality and liability. With that in mind, are you saying that if your state does have a Romeo and Juliet law, you’d be fine with offering a private and safe space for your children (I.E. their rooms) to have safe sex with anyone they want within the confines of that law?
Morality vs legality is an entirely different subject that I’m not going to delve in right now, but based on that statement, it shows which one you value more.
I am approaching the issue without emotion or judgment.
“I am being logical” is such an overdone excuse used to justify arguments. It’s also a highly reductive mindset to use in regards to your children.
I literally said others are free to choose their own liability risk which you chose to ignore.
Oh, I’m not ignoring it. It’s just that being free to choose my own “liability risk” does not automatically exempt me from giving my own opinion on how you are dealing with this issue.
Or you can get another kitchen scene. Right in front of your salad.
Your feelings on the topic are not going to sway me.
Fun!
Then you’d just be discouraging sex in your own home. Congrats! They decided to do it in the car or public bathroom instead, without your knowledge, and without the safety net you could have provided if anything went wrong.
Contributing to the deliquence of a minor is broad law.
You should check the local statutory rape laws applicable to you. In many places, there’s an exception if both people are close in age and are both willing.
The main worry is how the other child’s parents would react were something to occur. Also, your co-parent if they not on board with your decision.
There’s something called “talking with your partner”.
I’ve definitely done the talk, “box of condoms under the bathroom, no questions asked, give them to your friends if needed” but that is vastly different than tossing a box of condoms at a minor and telling them to have fun.
Sounds very hypocritical. I mean, why are you disallowing it in your home when you already offer condoms “no questions asked”?
You need to understand that giving permission is not encouragement, and that withdrawing permission is not discouragement.
You may not want your kids to have sex, but if they understand the risks and still want to, the best thing you can offer is safety and privacy.
same as you would anybody’s hole: just pull out.
Only when you’re gaping.
my guy, the usa was built on the shoulders of a robust railway system.
the reason why it wouldn’t work now is because the automotive industry has absolutely ruined everything and americans have been conditioned over many years and multiple generations to regard any form of public service and infrastructure as “bad”, “pointless”, and “for poor people”, and so any attempt to actually modernize and fix any of these issues caused by car-dependency is quickly shut down by the ignorant.
