It is deeper than "never a loser"

I've always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I'd say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.

It might be a little late in the game for trump supporters to get "more respect" than never going with trump at all... I'm just speaking in general. People respond very very well to "I messed up, I know that now"

Edit: in the professional world I've many times taken blame for mistakes I didn't even do. When the boss is waiting for the culprit to stand up and no one is "sorry that was me, I just thought yada yada yada" the boss respects you more and the person you took the bullet for is now your best ally.

Edit 2: on the evil side of that. If you fuck up bad enough you don't want to get caught you have that gaslight in your pocket "I've always come clean when it was me. I've always taken my lumps for my mistakes. i would tell you if it were me. You know that"

My thoughts exactly. The acoustics are amazing and the rent is free.

We're building a wall and Germany is going to pay for it!

I wish I had some kind of historical proof to show Russian control of half of Germany would not, infact, improve quality of life and make people happier.

Anyway I must go back to my hobby of reading the newspapers in order starting from the 1900s. I'm currently at August 12th, 1961.

So empty is this void where complaints should be... It might just be perfect to practice my new hobby.

Yodelay yodelay

Eehoo ehoo

Yodelay yode- ehoo ay eehoo

Oh yodelay ehhooo yodelah ehhoo*

Ah eehoo

Marvelous. The acoustics of this void are perfect. I'm going to be here a while. You can stay if you want but don't be critical. I'm still learning and practicing.

I think you misunderstood my joke. I'm not pro rich people I promise you.

That'll do, good sir. May your rest be peaceful.

And the people did covetith the land of the green. And so they therefore did proclaim that they it should be givith unto them.

But see that the people who coveted were henceforth shamed for their desires. For what they desired was not theirs to desire.

I remember how frustrated my mother got when the school told her I needed to be in remedial reading. My parents were both teachers so she thought "I got this"

She told me to read a book and she'd ask me some questions about it. I couldn't answer a single one.

So she had me read the book out loud to her. I did. Still couldn't answer a single question. Blew her mind that I could read a book out loud and not even be paying attention to it. That's when they got me diagnosed with ADHD.

Every doctor I've been to since hasn't even needed me to tell them. They notice on their own.

I'm not arguing that Elon musk is anything but an absolute tool.

SS numbers have 999 million options. Are we already repeating them?

Then an engineer will automize it

That kind of stuff annoys me because they don't recognize their behavior is entirely based on politics not health.

Like there are some religions that don't allow some medical treatment... I don't like that but I understand it. "I might die but if I do this treatment I might go to hell for all eternity... So I chose death"

This is different. This is "I believe the covid shot and/or vaccinations have negative health effects... So I chose death to avoid the risk... Of negative health effects"

You clearly aren't worried about the health concerns. You're just being an idiot.

Not op but I'm interested. Do I just call a hot air balloon company and ask if they are hiring?

 

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

 

My ex-wifes dog is dying. It's old. She emotionally can't handle the steps involved with that. She called me.

I grew up on a farm. I love animals but death was just part of life. I've had pets I loved get hit by cars, accidentally shot by hunters (on our land illegally), bitten by snakes... Plus there were lots of pets that stupid people dump in the country ("Fido will hunt rabbits or some nice farmer will take him" no he won't. Fido will slowly starve in the wild and get very mean/crazy, then get shot when he attacks me. Just have the dog put down, dumping the dog isn't better it just makes 10 year old me do what you couldn't).

Anyway my ex-wife calls me because she can't handle it and I can.

The problem is that I've slipped up a couple times and said "it" or "the dog" instead of "him" or "Toasty".

I understand that it is insensitive and hurtful, Ive absolutely been trying to avoid that since I first came over. However it's also insensitive and hurtful to call me bad for not getting emotionally attached to the dog at this point in its life. It's dying.

I'm taking care of it. I'm using all my farm skills and animal knowledge to be sure it's not dying from a disease, bacteria, or injury that I can fix or cure. I'm making food for it that is easier to eat so I can know for sure when the dog starts choosing not to eat vs having difficulty eating. When/if the time comes where the dog doesn't want to continue, I'll handle those steps and give it a burial.

If I was a monster I wouldn't help at all or just come over, shoot it, bag it, and trash it. I'm giving this animal every chance and looking for the moment when it gives up. I'm not cold. It's just a bad time to make friendship bracelets with the dog. It's a dying dog. I don't need to get more attached, I need to keep emotional distance to make good choices for the best interest of the animal.

That's exactly why I was called in the first place. That doesn't make me a monster.

Edit: before the "take it to the vet!" Comments. Our daughter is a vet. She said the same things I did. It's probably going to die. When it stops eating and gives up, put it down.

 

I don't want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I've seen advertised and tried out... Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:

"Let's change the subject. Maybe this picture will help" blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall

And I'm like "no... If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn't be talking about this subject. I'm not at all interested in $50 AI tits."

I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds "wow, that's crazy" to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I'm not paying $50 a month lol.

 

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
