How long are you normally happy. I understand that different situations have a different duration of happieness but how long is someone normally happy (and maybe how often). My happiest memories are like the marriage of my sister where the happiness duration lasted like a few hours. But normally its like a few minutes. So my question is in which situations are you happy and for how long?

I understand that he is given x number of hours per week and whatever's left after he gives the full time ppl their hours is divided among the part timers. But when he then tells me that he needs to cut hours and I can go home, I get confused

I always thought about trying team sports casually like basketball or soccer as an adult. For fun on the weekends or after work, not for tournaments or competition. But sports in general always give me flashback to school when I was shamed and made fun of for not performing well. Which made me hate sports and scared of ever wanting to try it or associate with it.

I am your typical shut-in nerd who loves playing video games, with the physique and clumsiness to match.

If I were to join a sports club as an adult today, I will definitely be a liability to the team. I do not have the skill, charisma, or dexterity to play well. Will I be crucified like I would be back when I was in high school if I joined? If so, forget it. But if not, then I would like to give it a try.

Imagine if the "force" that created the universe had no ability to influence it after creation. No miracles, no divine intervention—just a creator that exists but is powerless beyond the act of creation itself. Would that change anything about how we see life, meaning, or morality?

Thank you for your answers.

Watching tv or movies, yes I know they’re not reality, folks seem to go to the doctor or ER with not a care in the world. Oh, kid fell off their bike and arm hurts, let’s go get an X-ray.

Even with insurance I feel like I always end up paying more than what I thought.

Would it have been a quick death?

When purchasing a game online, it's advisable to use reputable third-party retailers such as Green Man Gaming, Gamebillet, and Humble. These sites often have similar pricing structures and frequently run simultaneous sales, competing by undercutting each other's prices by just a few cents.

From a business perspective, how do these retailers acquire game keys and sell them at such significant discounts? Do publishers sometimes offer bundles at reduced prices to these stores? Why is it that only one store may have a sale at a given time?

Additionally, how do these legitimate retailers get started or come into existence?

Furthermore, how do these legitimate retailers differ from "gray market" sites? I'm not referring to peer-to-peer platforms, which I understand can be scams, but rather to sites like CDKeys or Yuplay, which present themselves as legitimate retail storefronts.

How do these gray market sites obtain their keys, and why are they considered less legitimate than the others?

As in the title, does it? If yes, what happens to it?

What's the consensus about what happened right after the big bang (if there's any)? Were all the atoms and energy that we observe right now already there all concentrated in a very tiny spot if so how can it have expanded if gravity wants to pull things together and the densest something is the more gravity it has?

Two 16 oz jars are $4. The heavy cream to make that much alone costs more than that, nevermind the butter and cheese.

It’s a technology/invention that hasn’t improved much over time. They break down after very few uses. Why?

Considering natural selection and evolution, shouldn't there be more attractive people?

If people are more attracted to, well, attractive people, shouldn't there be more attractive people?

Why are attractive people the exception, not the rule?

Why isn't the average person attractive?

I'm (M24) in grad school for my master's degree, and I'm planning to take a few years off of and then finish a doctorate in a different program. I graduate this summer.

There is an undergrad RA that I have been attracted to, and I've always gotten a fairly strong vibe like she's into me. She is 22 and graduating.

The other night I saw her on tinder. I didn't swipe right because that would be incredibly foolish... Right now. Everyone in academia talks about any kind of involvement with undergrads as a grad student like you just steer the fuck clear no matter what 100%, which obviously makes sense. But I'm wondering about this situation. Obviously if I graduated and she graduated and then five years from now we ran into reach other again and went out, that's not anything of concern... So where is the line that makes it ok?

I have been extremely careful, both for practicality and morality, to maintain a friendly-professional relationship with the undergrad RAs (who have mostly been female) and avoid any kind of things that could be sketchy. I don't pry into personal lives at all or over share about my personal life, I don't text about anything besides things going on with our lab, I don't speak in an overly familiar way, I mind my eyes, etc. I also try to be very conscious of potentially uncomfortable things and do my best to try and account for it, like leaving the door open or inviting another person when we would be entering a room alone. I'm writing this all out to hopefully make it very clear that I'm very conscious about anything being even potentially questionable or weird.

If I graduate, and then we match on tinder... And I'm taking a break from academia anyway... Is there any reason why it would be a horribly bad idea to go out with her?

I am curious, does a apartment gate car pit fall exist?

If a car isn't a resident, the pit fall would trigger and drop the car enough so the wheels can't roll over into the property.

If a car is a resident it would allow the car to roll through without issue, but when the resident's car rolls over the pitfall engages after the wheels make it past the threshold.

Let say, a resident roll in and goes over the first pitfall with both tires, then the same with the other wheel pitfall; it would the engage for the next visitor or resident to be.

I'm not political so I'm not very familiar with this stuff but I do understand the US is a Democratic type?

I’m a history student and I feel like I’m always hearing about a great general who gave speeches to 25,000 soldiers. How did people hear it? I feel like even yelling that’s so many people in an army. The general is giving like pivotal instructions. How did everyone hear it?

Do they have their own dialect?

A friend texted me saying he would be coming to visit in my area one week. This week just so happened to be a week I was going to have surgery. He suggested the day literally right after my surgery and I had to tell him that day wouldn’t work because I’m having an operation the day before. First text, left on read. I asked him if four days later would work instead (he said he was going to be in town the whole week.) Now. Second text, also left on read. The next day, I ask again “would this day work instead?” And he responded with “well…. After you said it wasn’t going to work I changed my plans and now I’m not going to come to the city.”

Something he was complaining about why he wanted a specific day was okay so apparently 1. He wasn’t going to have a car (what??) and 2. He didn’t know about how to get to anywhere else in the area. I suggested Uber to him and he also left me on read.

His final argument was, “You initially said that day wasn’t going to work.”

Who’s the jerk?

I just want to understand why people are so afraid of getting it. As a biology major I’ve looked through the ingredients list and all of it is fine like it’s not poison. And although they do sometimes have side effects which are usually minimal there are those who get more severe and even deadly reactions. But those are either caused by an underlying condition or they were just unfortunately just part of the incredibly small statistic of people who develop something severe or deadly. Everything comes with a risk even if statistically improbable or negligible ( like walking outside I could get stabbed even if I lived in the safest neighborhood in the world).

She's a 2yo shii tzu. She's always been the kind that want's to be with me 24/7, cries when I leave even to take out the trash, and stays by my side without a leash when we go out and doesn't go other dogs she sees unless I let her. I've hardly trained her so I'm sure most of her obedience is— whatever this is 😅

When I left my mom said the first 2 days she didn't want to eat much and the next few days she just wanted to sit outside of my room door. But after coming back she didn't pay attention to me the first day but was back to her old self after that.

Sorry if this is poorly phrased I don't really know how to describe it. I was making a ghost story for class and my mind wandered.

Does anyone else rinse the spoon/fork between stirrs while heating something in the microwave? I can't stand the idea of putting the cold/congealed/crusted thing back in my food even if its only a minute later. Am I being too fussy?
