Empathy. Some people just have a brain for math and understand numbers in ways other people just never will. Others, like myself, have brains that are really good at understanding others, and we perceive and understand others with a facility some other people just can’t. It sounds pompous to say, because all human beings are at least somewhat skilled in this area, due to our species being highly social, but it’s still a cognitive speciality and some of us are innately better at it than others.
It can be frustrating too, because when other people don’t understand what you see in someone else, they question your decisions about them, and it can be hard to see why other people don’t see what you find obvious sometimes. It’s a bit of an extreme example, but I know people who can’t see that Donald Trump is a highly transparent narcissist. Even ones who didn’t vote for him and hate him for all the obvious reasons can’t see the personality disorder in him, and I find it so glaringly obvious that I sometimes just can’t fathom how anyone could miss it. But, if I really think about it, and I imagine what it might be like for a person who doesn’t have a natural talent for empathy, I can see how they just might not connect the dots and just see a bombastic, arrogant asshole, rather than the much more complex pattern of malignant narcissism that underlies that comparatively superficial persona.
I think it’s a bad idea. It sets the standard that your house is her house, which it isn’t. Furthermore, I believe there are legal issues if she stays there long enough (e.g. not being able to evict her very quickly if you want to). Furthermore, it disincentivizes your son from finding his own place when he’s old enough.
Also, your son’s girlfriend should not be spending the majority of nights over at your house at her age. I would encourage them to find income and their own housing if they’re that serious about living together.
It’s the working class’ fault. They divide themselves only because they fall for these arguments that x-topic is more important than class issues. The distractions the elite utilize are not sophisticated. We fall for them because we’re dumb.
I’ve had fish and chips in both the U.K. and the U.S. No offense to the Brits, but it’s better in the U.S., because they use this thing called “seasoning.” The only thing I prefer about the U.K. version is the paper cone the chips come in.
It’s much more likely that it would either fly away at another trajectory or circle back several times before eventually hitting us. In order for it to become another Earth satellite, it would have to miss us at a very precise angle and speed in order to get trapped in a stable orbit around us.
Ah, well, they don't need to worry about being caught or identified, they can just stop you in the street. I thought you were referring to scammers or something.
would be very useful if masked men approach you and try to photograph you with a potentially illegal biometric collection application.
Anyone trying to collect biometric information in such a brazen manner is not bright enough to use it for anything useful. There are so many more subtle and clandestine ways to obtain it that don’t risk being caught or identified.
In the U.S., the federal government is obviously bad, but I’m honestly more concerned about the voting populace that elected it. They got so desperate and fed up with both parties they voted for the strong man that promised them he could rewind time, and apparently didn’t have the basic level of empathy and psychological wherewithal to see him for what he is: a pathologically narcissistic conman.
The Trump administration is a problem, but it’s not the problem. The problem is that both Republicans and Democrats are so dislikable as political parties that enough people are so fed up with them that they’ll vote for someone like Trump instead. That’s just really sad.
No, it doesn’t. Look above.
