Being devil’s advocate here. I like to talk about my kid but I also know other people generally don’t care. You care about your kids its rare for other people, even friends and other parents. So idk whether just not mentioning them or caring about yours matters as to his actual dadness. I would also say that your friend may know he’s free those days for one reason or another. Maybe his wife has unreasonable expectations. The kids are always first but it is possible to make time for your relationship and yourself with some communication and luck. There are also often variations in which parent may be “primary” at times.

I have heard and seen some parenting things done that are well outside what I/we would do. Sleep training at 2mo, a sorta family pacifier (toddler would drop it, dad/mom would put in their mouth then back in toddler mouth), the cry it out method, being super stringent about feeding times and amounts, allowing rolling walkers, letting baby play at 2am, piercing ears, circumcision, etc. These babies are still growing up fine as far as anyone can tell.

Your friend and his wife need to communicate with each other and may be helped by couples therapy. You also need to communicate with your friend, judging him from a 2ndhand account by a person biased by their involvement and your own standards is wild.

So its not like restaurants where they can legally be paid under min if tips make it up but rather that housekeeping tends to be immigrants (often illegal) and thus underpaid. Most hotels will allow you to opt out of room servicing but when you leave they still have to “turnover” the room. Those neat sheets and clean towels all get thrown in the wash. The carpet still gets vacuumed, etc.

All that said I don’t really follow through on this all the time especially as I don’t carry cash as much nowadays.

Whole stay, when you’re leaving. What the housekeepers do is up to them. It isnt like restaurant tips, the expectation isn’t as engrained. Maybe 5-10 per time your room is serviced maybe more if you’ve left a real shitshow for some reason.

No on the bus driver. A hotel shuttle you can give a couple to if they help with the bags but generally not.

You and I know thats true and piracy in some cases is shown to increase sales because people decide its worth money and/or talk about it more. Heck some people pirate things they already own just because they’re too lazy to find the copy they own.

Their (incorrect) logic is that if you were pirating you weren’t purchasing their content anyway.

People desire to put things where you wouldn’t expect them a lot. I grew up in southeast US and when my grandparents would visit (vegetarian their whole life cause Hindu) would visit it was a nightmare to go out because even things like collard greens would have pork added. Lard is/was a common thing to fry with as well. We all know McDs made fries in beef tallow originally, the switch to vegetable oil in 1990 was nice for them.

German=good beer. Woman=sex. Drink German beer, have sex, Das Guud tm* (actually just budlight horsepiss in a different bottle).

Honestly, that’s pretty much this entire administration.

Depending on location there’s additional stuff, mostly signage notifying drivers. With great variation in requirements depending on the road.

It’s colloquial for a reason, convergence, misuse, or whatever I would say most English speakers would not know the logical fallacy. Maybe as something for people who do debate clubs/class but unlikely for others.

“Begging the question” is a logical fallacy wherein “the speaker assumes some premise that has not been demonstrated to be true.”. However, “begs the question” is used more as where something creates a question.

So by the original “because the earth is flat the planet is not rotating.” You assume the earth is flat to justify your point of no rotation. Whereas the common usage “the flat earth theory and other science conspiracies beg the question of why people don’t drop dead by forgetting to breathe.” Flat earth theory created questions about human intelligence.

Scihub if its before the last few years. Otherwise email authors and/or post a link on a science forum asking if anyone has a pdf to share.

There are a lot of physical things I miss from being young, eyesight, faster recovery from injury and illness, etc. I didn’t have money, I had unmanaged depression, I lacked a lot of self esteem. However, I had more friends(or at least acquaintances), more hope in people, much better physical fitness, and in hindsight a lot of my worries weren’t that serious.

Aging and youth are both mixed bags. But I’ll take being older without a doubt. -A younger millennial

Yeah, that’s some chiropractic bullshit. With EDS you have a much greater chance of a chiropractor fucking you up and its a neck issue, would be a hard fuck no. There’s been repeated studies showing that chiropractor manipulation of the neck has a greater than acceptable chance of death, paralysis, stroke, and arterial dissections.

Order of operations

1. PT and massage therapy
2. A relevant specialist (you dont mention what issues you actually have) and this may lead to
3. surgical intervention

If its a chiropractic thing then it’s quackery. If not do you mind sharing the machine?

The Webster definition is morally bad or wrong.

What morals a person has can vary and can be contextual as well so there isn’t an easy definition. Asking for that really detracts from the point. Which is more what are your morals and which of those are strongly held and which are weaker.

I knew it I’m surrounded by assholes!

It’s shoes. Fuzzy pink heeled shoes. Had to zoom in.

You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they’re 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.

People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.

I mean in theory it ends up a yearly thing if they get pollinated. So could be worth.
