The unsatisfying answer: you're both a little bit right.

You're correct that times have changed somewhat. But I think it's overkill to say that "approaching women at all unless you have business with them is disrespectful and borderline harassment".

Of course, context matters a lot. Don't bother women at their jobs, the bank is not a lady zoo. But in a social situation where you would expect to meet other people, it's fine to strike up a conversation with strangers or even ask them out.

However, by your own admission you don't get out much. So I'm assuming you don't get a lot of situations like bars or parties where this would happen. So I would try networking in your community, develop some hobbies, go to functions where you might meet someone in this manner.

Contrary to popular belief, these don't recycle the same length of cloth over and over. It goes from end to end l.

I'm not surprised. YouTube has a constant stream of new material, curated to each user's exact interests. And more back catalogue than you could watch in a thousand lifetimes. It's definitely the service I use the most.

1. These are often for extracurricular things like school trips.

2. Schools are underfunded.

An argument isn't just saying "no it isn't."

Yes it is.

No it isn't!

I don't think there's really a way to do this, since federal taxes are paid directly to the fed without state involvement. This is just to poke the bear, which I am all for.

This only holds true if you define "honest" as "tells the truth 100% of the time" and "dishonest" or "not honest" as "lies 100% of the time."

Leftists with guns: this is fine

Data's poem was written by real people trying to sound like a machine.

ChatGPT's poems are written by a machine trying to sound like real people.

While I think "Ode to Spot" is actually a good poem, it's kind of a valid point to make since the TNG writers were purposely trying to make a bad one.

Never use those quick lube places. Find a reputable mechanic and get it done there.

Because 99% of the time these errors are caused by something on their end that the user is unable to fix, even on the off chance that they understand the problem in the first place. So there isn't any need to give you more information than "something went wrong, please wait a minute and/or try again".

This is what gets me about the sentiment of "humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years without toothpaste/sunscreen/antibiotics/vaccines/etc and we were just fine!"

My dude, we were most definitely not fine. A lot of people died painful and preventable deaths, many of them children, and we're around today because existing that way was just good enough to keep us going as a species.

The egg came first. Mutations happen in the production of gametes, or sex cells, so a proto-chicken would have produced a slightly mutated egg that turned out to be a chicken.

9/11. It was the only time in my life I saw newspapers publish extra editions.

For those too young, extra edition as in "extra, extra, read all about it," when a news story is so big that the newspapers publish a whole nother edition later in the day.

Just turn the music up

Goldeneye. Revolutionized the FPS genre at the time. Nigh unplayable now. Tried recently using both NSO and on an original N64, it just hasn't aged well when compared to something modern.

I feel like I don't really need an R-rated Star Wars movie. Andor is pretty damn mature thematically, and what else would an R rating add? Violence and nudity? We already have a lot of decapitation and impaling, I feel it gets the point across.

"Looking for a new opportunity", "want to challenge myself more", "looking for something that aligns better with my interests" etc. Those are some of the usual lines you give in corporate America when you want out.

But in your case, you could just tell the truth. That you're in a temp position and you're looking for something permanent. That's a perfectly valid reason for interviewing.

It's doom scrolling especially if it's true.

We've had one sound, yes.
