I think this is incredibly reckless, selfish and self promoting. Imagine there’s a house in your neighborhood surrounded by SWAT teams. They’re playing it by the book and they have a hostage negotiator standing by. You break through the barrier with your Red Rider BB gun, trying to help. Are you helping at this point, or are you jeopardizing the lives of the cops that now have to save your stupid ass?

If the shit hits the fan, who will Greta depend on to rescue her?

and what do you like about it etc

I’ve been with my girlfriend Becky for a long time. I think I love her and I really enjoy spending time with her. However, she’s recently shared her ugly past with me. When she was in her younger years she had a rep of sleeping around.

She apparently was the school slut who got tagged teamed by the jocks. Becky even told me about how when she was 15 and had fuck buddies in their 30’s. And how when she was in university she dated 3 guys at once and caught chlamydia and gonorrhoea twice. Even used Only Fans to pay for school.

Even worse, she supposedly slept with other men when she was married. Her excuse was that her and her husband broke up and stayed married so he wouldn’t get deported.

After knowing all this I’m starting to look at her differently. Sometimes I see Becky the same way I see the woman in the picture. But it’s hard to leave Becky because she is trying really hard to make this relationship work. I’m a low value man with no proper education and job, and she makes feel like a high value man with the way she treats me. She really wants us to get married and keeps telling her friends Im gonna but her a ring. But it’s a tough decision for me.

She wants to meet my parents and I know they’re not gonna like her at all. My parents are and have always people skills. They can pick up on things.

The other day beck told me she’s having suicidal thoughts and being with helps her not think suicidal. She’s undergoing therapy atm.

According to a WalletHub poll, Utah & Texas rank the two worst states in the US for women’s equality while Hawaii & Nevada rank best. Knowing this… Do you think all other states in the US should be more like Utah & Texas or Hawaii & Nevada?

Personally, I’d say other states in the US should be more like Utah & Texas because men and boys are struggling in education and the workplace across the country while women and girls are over exceeding.

Elevator (Lift) Etiquette - Do you push floor buttons for others?

One thing the pandemic taught me to do is to use my knuckle when pushing buttons. Using the tip of the finger makes it more likely to transfer whatever bad things are on the surface of the button to your face, where you might pick up an infection, whereas the knuckle makes that less likely.

What about you?

Do you push buttons with the tip of your finger, like we all used to? Or do you use your knuckle? Or maybe an object like a pen or pencil so you never physically touch the button?

This chart shows how the usage of ChatGPT drops off considerably when colleges, universities and high schools end their school year and are off for the summer, indicating that students are using AI (ChatGPT in particular) for their essays, homework, and take-home tests.

What do you think about that?

Is AI a legitimate thing to use in education? What ever happened to independent research and learning? Or maybe, teachers and professors are making things so difficult, students are forced to use AI?
