That post could be perceived as “I went to no stupid questions and then asserted that all questions are too stupid for me” so you’re sort of running against the ethos of the forum, you can definitely ask that question, it just has to be in a more general question area where your post isn’t openly running against the idea of the forum you’re posting in.

It’s definitively manipulative, but people on the internet like to take something like that and then sprint to the conclusion that the person exhibiting the behavior is entirely knowledgeable about what they’re doing and is nefariously doing it on purpose in order to control the person and keep them locked in a position of weakness.

A lot of people exhibit behavior like this because they feel scared or upset and don’t know how to healthily express or resolve it, or were taught by unhealthy homelife that the behavior is normal, even if it’s not. I think people in the comments immediately rushing to leave her and anyone like her behind will either find it hard to maintain a relationship, or should count their lucky stars if they’re with someone that is completely healthy and knowledgeable about negative human behaviors and willing (and able) to fix it.

From my viewpoint, it’s usually more of a coercive thing. Something you’re not necessarily entirely opposed to, but you might rather not, and in order to avoid a situation you might perceive as bad in a different way, you relent and allow it to happen, leading to years of questioning whether it even was rape or not, even though what it does to you mentally is irrefutable.

The grave, I would expect “From the cradle to the grave” to be describing the subject. So if the elf is marrying the old woman, then he’s robbing the old woman’s grave

Indeed. My current house is great thanks to an inspection. My wiring was incredibly old, and so are my pipes. We had to replace the wiring, legally, as the house couldn’t be insured, it was a fire risk, but I’d rather know that than die in a fire.

And if I didn’t use a good inspector I would’ve ended up at a different house that looked amazing, but had incredibly expensive termite damage hidden behind insulation that the owners shoved in the foundation to cover up the damage.

That’s what the post is trying to highlight, that people don’t allow themselves to view something retroactively as the good it had, only the negative, as if the end failure is all they got out of it.

“tell a man to Google how to fish, and you get to be non-constructive and judgmental”

Weird, I really figured the plural was sloths, but you learn something every day.

I would assume it’s because it leads the reader to what tone to use in a given sentence. The question mark or exclamation point would be useful in tone throughout the whole sentence, but if neither is present in front of the sentence a regular reading tone could be assumed.

so why add a floating period when nothing being there allows for the same assumption and is much, much simpler and easier?

That probably makes it a guarantee, but I think it would paint an enormous target on your back for governments or worse to want to experiment on you.

I think I’d agree with you and I’d want to blow up on social media first ensuring that if anything were to happen to me, like a sudden disappearance, that it would be easily noticed and there’d be uproar.

I suppose, but it’s not a side effect that happens to everyone, so if you get dizzy smoking weed and you do it regularly then you should probably check with a doctor to be safe anyhow, it’s not really an intended effect.

Edit: I’m specifically saying light headedness dizzy like OP describes. There are a myriad of crazy feelings you might have if you don’t consume weed regularly, but if you do and you’re getting light headed I still think that’s potentially dangerous and not something that’s “supposed” to happen, regardless of the variety of things that might happen to a first time or very occasional smoker. Suppose I should’ve clarified

If you get dizzy while watching TV high you should still go to the doctor because that’s not a regular side effect lol

And I don’t know Jack shit about either of those, but I can do a lot of different shit on a forklift efficiently and safely!

I don’t think the math of the post was the takeaway there.

I actually went down this same path with my new monitor, I despise screen tearing (that vsync fixes), but I also hate the slight input latency (that vsync introduces). I ended up getting a display port cable and setting up FreeSync, which was a one time setup and now as long as I turn off vsync in all my games freesync is just permanently on, it’s great!

Just really depends how much you care or notice those two things, being screen tearing or vsync’s latency.

I believe aliens contacted the ancient Egyptians and taught them the ways of crumpling paper into flat discs

I think I would agree that you could be inhumane to anything that can feel or understand pain or emotion.

You’re probably just getting hung up on the root word behind humane and inhumane. Humans do inhumane and humane things constantly every day, regardless of whether they do those things directly to a human or not, under the right brain chemistry and external conditions we’re capable of it all, good and bad.

The anonymous internet, which apparently supercedes the sub we’re in.

While I don’t think plants or certain animals actually experience life similarly, aren’t our own emotions basically a product of chemicals being released in our brain as a result of certain stimuli?
