It didn’t work for me. Why not?

I’m going to pronounce it “agilé” at the next stand up and see who corrects me.

I’ve never seen the word “grunklier” before and I immediately knew exactly what it meant.

It’s one thing to know it happens, and it’s an entirely different thing to hear it happening live and in real time.

I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend (and her roommate) after being together only a year, and we’re married now. We weren’t much older than you are now (22 and 21). The concerning part is the rest of the family.

You’ve answered a lot of questions, so don’t feel the need to respond to these, but you should know the answers for yourself.

Would you share a bed? Will you be able to hear her parents getting frisky? Because then they will be able to hear you. What if you have to take an epic shit, but her mom has just called everyone down to dinner? What if you go to take a shower and her father has clogged the drain with hair?

What is your alternative plan if you don’t move in with them?

Sharing a roof means intimacy with everyone in the building. There’s very little privacy, and escape is complicated. If you see her as a forever partner, and don’t mind making yourself vulnerable to her family, then actually I probably still wouldn’t do it even under those circumstances.

I’m not sure what you mean, but if you mean giving people cash, yes I agree. It’s just far too small an amount to make a difference. People have a variety of needs, and while some might benefit from daycare, others would benefit from diapers, while still others could use a decent car seat. Cash is fungible, and people can spend it how they like.

We spend more on preventing fraud and administering social services than we would spend it we simply gave everyone money. A negative tax rate on a sliding scale would do the most good for everyone. Yes, some people would spend the money on drugs or alcohol or other addictive vices, but the effort to stop that costs more than just letting it happen. It’s like we have a swat team at the Dollar Store to prevent shoplifting.

But $5,000 is insultingly ineffective.

It’s weird that anyone is surprised about this.

Sex is not binary. There are at least 30 genetic combinations of genes responsible for primary sex organs naturally occurring in human biology, and the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics runs a full spectrum of different phenotypes.

Further, the neurological and social processes of transgender identification are biological processes.

Gender is a social construct that describes the majority phenotypes, but there are far more outliers than the bigots would have you believe, and the science backs that up at every level.

“Biological sex” is LGBTQA++plus something we haven’t even discovered yet. And there’s no evidence of bathroom incidents involving trans individuals where they weren’t the victims.

Also, your question reminded me of something my biology professor would say: “Ignorance is not asking the question.” Good job being curious.

I’m doing great, how are you?

Biology does not support this viewpoint. We should stop calling it “biological sex” and just call it bigotry.

This is not healthy husband/wife behavior. If you don’t feel comfortable talking with him about your own freedom, then you don’t have a husband, you have a captor. If you live in the US or EU, there are resources to help you escape with your son you mentioned in another comment.

The iPhone does not have a way to override this restriction.

TLDR It’s a stunt rigger that slipped through the post production process for a single frame.

“I didn’t ask for a hint, I was just making an observation. Damn.”

Looks a bit like the Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine/Wish You Were Here artwork. Obviously that doesn’t match the rest of your description, but perhaps it was inspired by or an homage to that artwork?

Then they can take themselves to a cafe and buy a tea or coffee. This is about what all the schools are permitted to serve the students. Yes, some are 17 or 18, and some are 5 or 6 years old. Sugar and caffeine are the two most addictive substances widely available to children, and few things manufactured are as profitable as caffeinated sugar water. Put it in a bottle with fancy colors and a cool logo, have some social media influencers plug the drink, and then find a captive audience that’s sleep deprived, facing extreme pressure to perform, and too young and impulsive to make long-term healthy decisions. That’s called a business model.

Elementary school age kids don’t drink hot tea usually. Maybe in England, but that seems like providing kettles for all the kids might be a bit of a burn hazard.

Sorry, yeah Chuck Palahniuk. Same guy who wrote Fight Club.

I’m not suggesting we start carding everyone who buys a soda, but schools are a controlled environment. Just don’t sell caffeinated beverages at the schools.

Botttled iced tea is mostly sugar, with just enough caffeine to make it addictive. It doesn’t belong in schools.

I think a creative filmmaker could play with that. View the same scene from multiple perspectives, show characters (and the audience) making assumptions and drawing conclusions because they don’t have the full story. Maybe you never fully reveal what is actually happening, and let the audience fill in the gaps.

The narrative itself might not be enough to draw out a full mystery, but maybe you delve into the backstory and the supernatural elements at play a bit more. Or maybe it’s all drug induced, from the art to the mass hysteria. Maybe the townspeople assign meaning to chaos, and their faith is tested when things don’t go to plan.

But you have several interesting characters to explore, none of whom ever have all the information they need to understand everything.
