I was going to offer this same warning. They did it recently to my aunt’s car. It was an older car and they don’t make the wiring harness for it any more so insurance ended up totaling it on her. (I then spent two hours with a ton of crimp connectors painstakingly matching everything up and splicing in new wire to repair it. She used the insurance money to repair the shocks on the car)

So it’s really very much like humans gripping something. Infants at birth already know how to curl their hand to wrap fingers around an object and grip it. No one had to teach us how to do that and our own learning just refined the process to make it more effective. The core grip coordination knowledge was already present at birth.

Be very careful with slamming people with comments like it being a “ridiculous question”. Unless the person is an obvious troll you don’t want to turn them off from asking questions. It is much better that they asked the question and then had it answered and explained what they were missing in their perspective that lead to the question being necessary. Calling it ridiculous will turn off the person from asking more questions which will only serve to perpetuate their lack of understanding and potential insensitivity towards other cultures.

A lot of people are raised and educated in very homogeneous environments. If their exposure to history has only been to big topics like Greek and Roman culture where we have a massive amount of data, they may not realize how lacking we are in North and South American indigenous history. Their question may have been more along the lines of thinking someone was showing concern over losing a bit of Roman graffiti or a Greek city-state’s local variation of deity worship. Sure loss of that sucks, but they aren’t likely to be revolutionary in our understanding of the cultures.

From that perspective they asked a legitimate question. Is there something in particular we have lost with indigenous history that is significant or is it simply the loss of another longhouse that is fundamentally the same as a dozen others. The response they received was great as it was polite and explained that not only is all cultural history significant but in fact we have lost so much indigenous history that we don’t know far more than we do know.

The DOJ has yet to investigate anyone in relation to Epstein other than Maxwell. Everyone else that may have been using his services they haven’t bothered to look at at all.

The day they are cracking down on people from Epstein’s address book and we see some pattern to those people’s political affiliations while others with a different affiliation are being ignored is the day I’ll wonder why they haven’t investigated anyone in particular.

You missed the entire point of what I said. Let’s start with you can throw any reason or example you want out there and my point will remain because it isn’t about the reason, it is about being unhappy in a relationship to the point you want to end it. If you are at that point, regardless if it is because your partner has started raping and eating babies or because your partner cut their hair in a way that bothers you, if you have reached a point where you are unhappy enough to want to end the relationship then you should end it. The alternative is to stick it out and be let your resentment and anger grow and fester and make both your and their lives miserable until you inevitably end it anyway or one of you dies.

Does any of the above mean your partner decided to microwave fish and now you are annoyed the house smells like fish so you should break up? No, not even close. Because, and I’ll say this again because you totally missed it, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the reason and everything to do with no longer wanting to be in a relationship with that person.

There are no shitty reasons to end a relationship, there are just shitty relationships that should have been ended but weren’t because someone was told there are shitty reasons so now they hate every day of their life stuck in a relationship that doesn’t make them happy.

I know you are being sarcastic but yes if her not eating meat upsets you to the point that you no longer want to be in a relationship with her then yes you should dump her. The alternative is to stick it out in a relationship you don’t want to be in and let resentment and anger grow making both you and her more and more miserable until you inevitably end it anyway years later.

Because you said it is a shitty reason to break up with someone because of breast or penis size. I was saying no, it isn’t a shitty reason. If someone is not attracted to or not sexually fulfilled with their partner to the point they don’t want to be in a relationship then they should end the relationship. Basically there are no shitty reasons to end a relationship. If someone is unhappy and doesn’t want to be in the relationship any more, they should end it and move on rather than drag it out and make both their’s and their partner’s life slowly worse and more miserable.

I’ve never understood why people complain about any reasons being shitty reasons to break off a relationship. Bottom line, if you want to end a relationship it is because you are not happy in that relationship. The reasons you are not happy are irrelevant. No one should remain in a relationship where they are not happy.

Since signing is often slower than speaking you would finish talking and the sound arrives before the signing could finish making signing the slower form of communication. However, now I want to know where the break even point is. How far away do you need to be for signing out a speech to arrive before the sound of that speech arrives (assuming the sound could travel infinitely far without degrading and we could see the signing from an infinite distance away).
