Online dating is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not dating. It allows people to optimize selection based on superficiality, and stops anyone from from getting to know anyone. It’s also high stakes because arranged meets with matches are purpose driven.
Put it down. Turn it off. Go do something you love and meet people. All sorts of people. Have fun, casually. Somewhere in there, you’ll find someone special.
(Not directed to you OP, just online daters in general)
Yah, you’re not walking away from that so casually. Gimme the story in 300 words or less. ;)
Edit. Never mind. I saw the post right after. Thanks for sharing.
No one can time the market. The answer depends on your risk tolerance and security buffers. It is schrodinger’s market. It is always the best and worst time to hypothetically jump in or out of markets. It’s only after you do that the probability wave form collapses and becomes one or the other.
Predictions depend on a stable system. No where is stable so don’t bother.
Curious. I love you and I never even met you.
Tell my wife I said “Hello”.
I sympathise, but the cliché is not strictly true. Nature is all about diversity. Just like humans have a certain ratio of “bad apples” born where someone is hard wired wrong, so do dogs, and likely all animals.
Psychopathology is real. It would be a mistake to deny Nature it’s agency. There are people who belong in an institution. Dogs perhaps moreso.
To your point, yes most problems are attributable to bad trainers, but even here there is something missing. Bad breeders - natural reproduction would select for fitness, and truly bad dogs would be limited to a small fraction of background instances. We have lots of people actively breeding killers with outsized agression and fear and ferocity, with hair triggers, on purpose. I’m not talking about guard dogs where fierce protective instincts are balanced with loyalty and bonding and intelligence. I mean literal psychokillers.
I’m circling around Pit-Bulls and the like, but I need to be clear. The breed is fine. Some of my best friends are pit bulls. Diversity naturally makes most of them good dogs, just more context dependant and trainer demanding. I’m not talking about those. I’m only referring to a small subset that were overbred and the natural background level of freakshow.
If you’ve only known pets from reputable breeders, accidental litters or the shelter rescues, understand that these select for the good dogs. If that’s all you know, you would have reason to doubt that bad dogs are possible.
Fine. Winning lottery numbers then. I can ponder the depths of the other ineffable questions from a beach with a tasty beverage somewhere nice.
How does one get grants for this type of research? Asking for a friend.
Not all. There are some bad boys out there.
Winning lottery numbers for next draw. When will humanity go extinct? Where are the nearest 1 billion species with near human level intelligence or greater. How do we safely and conveniently travel faster than light.
So many to choose.
You sure you want that?
Biometrics are a username not a password. Authentication is not authorization. This sounds like trying to stop man in the middle attacks with something susceptable to man in the middle attacks.
Maybe I’m just not getting the idea.
With your Barber’s consent, anything is possible. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Not a Barber but my Barber loves me, and I him. You are a posable manequin meant to hold a position. They will gently guide your head to the desired position whenever a change is required. Gently acquiesce. Tip generously.
Sorry, I’m all out of heroine.
Being “The One” is like being in love. No one can tell you you’re in love, you just know it, balls to bones.
This is where I say "Hmmm that’s interesting.
That’s when you say…
Perhaps by your standards. ;)
Celebrate is not the right word. Trump is just the crash test dummy front man. The entire administration and republican party have lost their minds/shown their true colors. It’s not time to celebrate. There’s still a lot of work to be done.
I will however drink my best bottle of wine and toast the moment.
Choices abound. Make one, move, stretch your legs a bit?
