I think happiness is more generally defined as the absence of things that make you unhappy rather than a tangible thing itself.

Kind of like how cold is defined by the absence of heat.

The issue is, is that people think that happiness is a concrete thing, and so when they are asked if they are happy, they start looking for some like joyous positive, buoyant, radiant, plus in their lives.

And then, when they don’t find it, it makes them wonder if they are not happy.

Happiness is the capacity to be engaged with your life under your own volition.

If you have that, even if you don’t feel the way you think happiness should feel, you are happy.

Happiness is not contentment.

Happiness is not joy.

Happiness is not a warm blanket on a cold winter’s day.

Happiness is being alive and present in your center.

If you feel like you are not happy, that is what you should aim for. All of the other things will work themselves out in the process.

Yeah, I’m a feminist. I’m also a masculinist.

Basically, if there’s not a good reason to prevent you from doing something, you shouldn’t be fucking prevented from doing it.

Who or what you were born as, or what you identify as, in and of itself, is not a good fucking reason.

Motherfuckers that try to prevent other people from living their own lives because of their own assumptions need to fucking fuck off.

You could probably roll back to an earlier version of win 11 that still has the support. That should get you a few more years

I don’t know if I directly agree with you, but I do generally agree with you that the movie was not as good as it could have been.

It kind of felt like a Jackson Pollock painting. All of the parts and pieces were there in roughly the correct amounts, but it was so scattered and all over the place that it was hard to make any sense of it, except the very thinnest of plot lines.

I will say it was entertaining, and it was beautiful, and it was definitely a visual cornucopia of special effects and events.

But as far as the core of the story, I feel like they didn’t nurture it enough, and they didn’t focus on it enough, and they didn’t bring it to full flower before finishing the movie.

Yep. Basically, to bring suit you have to be able to show that their actions injured you.

If you made a game that was delisted, you might have grounds, but given the nature of the games that were delisted you might have some issues bringing suit since it will put you under scrutiny.

That and you better have a damn good case or a shit ton of money and a willingness to fight for a decade over it.

It’s kind of ironic that you’re posting this this way, basically telling us to draw our conclusions about the person who wrote this without any information on what they’re talking about or why this is bad or laughable to back it up.

Making prognostications on the future isn’t something that necessarily adheres to the scientific method.

As a homogenous blob, you would become lighter and denser.

For real though, I mean, you could also just use a different layout. You don’t have to use triangles and make a circle. You could have a square umbrella that folds out with a little bit of prodding.

No, yes, it was even considered a bad pickup line back in the 80s or 70s or whenever the movie i saw that had that pickup line in it was made.

Like the whole point of the thing was to show the viewer what a douchebag this guy was so that when the main character showed up and wasn’t a douchebag by comparison, you would go, “hey, that guy’s not a douchebag, you should pick him over the douchebag.”

I could see some sort of connection between, like, there’s a pickup line where a guy would dip his fingers in a glass of water and flick a few drops of water on a girls clothes, and then tell the woman, “hey, let’s get you out of those wet clothes”, but I don’t see anything inherently sexist in what you said.

Maybe she is making that connection in her mind and just having a difficult time expressing it to you cogently.

I was thinking about primer when I thought of this question.

It is time for the fax machine to die.

It has been time for the fax Machine to die for the last 18 years.

For the love of God somebody, please kill the fax machine.

It is the only song of theirs that I will not immediately change the station if it comes on.

One day, out to a cliff That overlooks the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody’s daughter And now the ring that’s on my hand It was given to me by her And to this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher

Also, the distance from center of the rotation matters.

For instance, doing a bicep curl with a 10 pound weight with your elbow by your side is easy.

Holding that 10 pound weight with your arm straight and lifting it up to eye height is much more difficult, but for most people without impediments still doable.

Now imagine the difference in distance between the ball and heel of your foot versus the distance between your knee and your hip.
