Oh God there are so many of these.
No matter how young your friends are, Jesus’s friends were apostles.
No matter how well you drive, trains drive freight.
No matter how empty you feel, remember, there others who are teachers (this one works out unexpectedly well)
This. Kids are often a reflection of their surroundings.
Case in point: a teenager, call him Carl, that I’ve taken under my wing a bit in our Organization expressed worries to me a while ago about one of his classmates, call him Mark, joining, because Mark would apparently bully him. I promised to keep an eye on it. I got to know Mark a bit better, and he seemed to give off this downed vibe, but despite keeping an eye open, he never seemed to be nasty to Carl. About a month ago, I was at an event where Mark and his mother were there. His mother berated him, calling him stupid over and over, and even made him confirm that she was right. This answered so, so many questions. Poor kid. I’ve also taken him under my wing a bit in the meantime, at least as far as I can. I think things have improved between the two.
Just so she can kill dogs at 30 000 feet…
Yes and Pierre Poillievre was definitely softer on the US than Carney. The electorate chose Carney, who was for being harder on the US. And even if you argue that there were other issues at play, the boycott that the country has done is one of the strongest of not the strongest I’ve ever seen, that’s a message that’s clear as day
We literally had an election over this. The decision was pretty clear to go hard on the US. And there has been nothing to suggest a change in opinion among the electorate.
Railway safety. On airplanes there will sometimes be people who clap when the plane lands safely. In modern cars we have a number of safety features that are pretty hard to ignore. But with trains everyone is (rightfully) focused on punctuality. Only in the rare event of a crash or similar so most people even begin to think about the safety aspect.
First off: if, then he wouldn’t be a pedophile but a hebephile. Small, but important difference.
Second: there are the laws. If you’re breaking laws, it could quickly become a problem (obviously).
But finally, what you were actually getting to: it really depends. There are plenty of age cases that are unacceptable no matter what (e.g. if he were 25 instead of 19, for instance). People mature differently. I’ve met people who were 16 where you could think they were 20, and vice-versa. If one is much more mature than the other, than you have a power imbalance, and that’s the problem. And that can happen with two people of the same age, as well (although it’s less likely).
So, no, 16 and 19 isn’t necessarily wrong, per se. The question is: is the relationship in question problematic?
For a moment I thought you meant “pro-fox” as “pro-fox news”
Of course electricity comes out of a VGA port, but it’s only a signal, I wouldn’t assume that it’s anywhere near enough to charge a phone.
In Germany you’re also responsible for the safety of your passengers. If you get pulled over and someone in your car is not wearing a seat belt, you will get fined. You’re driving a multi-ton death machine, you’re responsible for taking care of the people in it.
Also, someone not being buckled can be a danger for other people as well. Depending on the accident an unbuckled Person can become a projectile and severely injure or kill others.
WTF am I even looking at?
I submitted a song that I couldn’t find the name of a long time ago in hopes that someone could ID it. About 15 years later, someone replied with the name of the song. It definitely brightened my day to have a nice surprise like that.
I mean, it’s really a matter of the quality of the instrument, and even moreso, of the talent and ability of the person playing it - that will make much more of a difference than the kind of instrument (set aside certain instruments like the triangle).
Debian has some instructions here, maybe it can be used for other platforms as well.
To be fair, up until recently, there was no clear indication that Google would do this. Google made it so that installing non-play store apps was slightly more difficult, Apple made it pretty much impossible. So Apple was a pretty logical target at that point (and honestly, up until then, they had pretty much gotten a free ride - think of the default browser issue in Windows, no one every bothered with Apple).
I’ll keep it short: no, there is no “healthy” amount of dandruff. Definitely look beyond the 3-in-1 combos, those can really make things worse. And if that doesn’t work, ask a doctor, since dandruff can have a number of different causes.
I think there are a couple of things to pick apart here. First off, the main question:
Yes, I would equate it to that. But as ignoring someone in real life, context matters.
Are or were? Because that’s a very important distinction. Because if you are friends, that’s a pretty nasty thing to do. If you’re friends, you’re most likely important in their life. Ghosting can be especially hurtful in that kind of situation, because they trusted and maybe even relied on you to a certain extent.
If you were friends, why are you not friends anymore? Did you just drift apart? Than it’s not great to ghost them. Them texting you can mean that you’re still important to them and that they would like to actively work on mending your friendship. If you don’t want the friendship anymore, say it. And if they don’t accept it, then you can ghost them. Did you cut off the friendship because they were abusive? Are they bombarding you with messages or trying to compel you to do something? Then go right ahead and ghost them.
If a friend or a former friend messaging you (normally, I’m not talking about bombarding you with messages here) is a part of your constant information and notification overload, that’s a problem in and of itself. Take a look at what is part of that notification and information overload. What is important for you and what can you do without? I would think, for instance, that messages from friends are more important than notifications from social media (including the notification you may have gotten from this reply). Take some time to filter that out. And if you really have too many notifications from friends and feel the need to cut down on the number of friends, first off consider if it’s really the case and you’re not running the danger of isolating yourself (take a good look at this, it is way too easy to ignore or not notice but can have serious consequences), and then talk with the affected friend directly and explain your situation. At least then they know what’s going on and you were fair to them.
