For me, it's any situation where you know you're fucked but can't do anything to stop the inevitable.
Give me instantaneous death where idk what happened or a slow progression of disease where death would eventually be a welcome relief. It's the in between that freaks me out.
Misleading title is misleading. He was in an 18wheeler truck, not a dumpster.
"This is a tractor-trailer style (trailer). You know, you picture that 18-wheeler, this is what the trailer would look like. A box trailer is where he was located, right in the back of that," Sauschuck said. "Some of those trailers are locked. Some of those trailers aren't. He was found inside one of those boxes that was unlocked from the outside."
Just found out one of my spouse's teammates died while on vacation. I guess it's a good reminder that you never know when your time will come, so value the time you have wisely. But man, what a bummer.
I used to watch this YouTube channel ~5 years ago, called Lets Chat, where a guy would go to different places and have conversations with people about their beliefs.
Digging through my history, it looks like the technique is called Street Epistemology. It's basically a way to understand deeply held beliefs without coming across rudely. Here's a site I found that explains the process well
Why should people push for traditional pensions? I don't want to be stuck at a crappy job just because leaving would reset my retirement clock. It's the same reason healthcare shouldn't be attached to the employer either.
Absolutely. And to be fair, this is in comparison to other attractions I visited while in NZ. It was perfectly in line with what you would expect from somewhere in the USA. I think I saw a single gift shop during my entire time on the South Island, and the ones on the North Island seemed shockingly reasonable.
Yes, it seemed everything they sold there was overpriced. Especially compared to everywhere else we went that either didn't have souvenirs, or if they did they were reasonably priced for what they were. Their cafe also seemed expensive, with lower quality food than other places we went.
For example, I bought a Hobbit hole figurine from Weta workshop. The exact same figurine was almost double in price at Hobbiton. I considered buying a T-shirt there, it was 40 USD, and I ultimately decided was not worth it. I bought other gift shop t shirts elsewhere for under 20 USD.
That said, the tour itself was fantastic and I absolutely loved it. They did a great job of capturing the vibe of Hobbiton and the detail they put into the holes was awesome.
I'm genuinely not sure if you are a troll and trying to be intentionally argumentative or what...
But your argument is that the entire theory of evolution is proven wrong by crabs dying en masse because of climate change, because humans are racist and commit genocides against each other? Or did you just move the goal posts on this discussion about crabs and try to call me racist in the process for shits and giggles? Like you took such a hard turn in the discussion and the only logic is that you are probably gish galloping the discussion and it would be a waste of energy to continue.
This is about species as a whole and their physical characteristics. All humans are the same species and religion is a social construct, so that does not apply. Eugenics =/= Darwinism and it is intellectually dishonest to equate the two.
Also, there is nothing about winners and losers in Darwinism. It is simply an observation about the natural world. The world is always changing and is never static. Those who can handle the change will make babies and pass on whatever quality they have that makes them suited for their current environment. In the future, that quality may or may not be selected for. Or maybe you have a quality that is not beneficial for your environment, but is not harmful for your survival either, thus it may continue to be passed down (e.g. my shitty eyesight that was passed down, but with correction doesn't impact my survival).
Survival of the fittest means the ones most suited for their environment survive enough to pass on their genes. When the environment changes (a new predator moves in, humans tear down your habitat to build condos, the ocean heats up so you don't have enough food for everyone, etc) only the members of your species that can handle the new condition will survive to pass down their genes.
Maybe as oceans warm, the remaining crabs will evolve to survive their changing environment better. Or maybe they will go extinct because they can no longer compete with species that are better suited for the warmer oceans. Either way survival of the fittest still applies 100% whether the cause is climate change or some other evolutionary pressure.
Does that clear up why it makes no sense to say that this somehow proves Darwin wrong?
You were 20 and she was 17 when you started dating. People change a lot at those ages. It doesn't sound like you are happy in this relationship any more (maybe you are and this was just written out of frustration, but from what you wrote it sounds like this relationship doesn't benefit you in any way).
You've spent the last 5 years doing this and being unhappy. How many more years of your life are you willing to give up to a relationship that doesn't sound healthy?
I think the stats that really drove the point home for me, was when I heard that the people who were the most successful investors were the ones who died or forgot their account log-in.
Original Motley Fool article (it does appear looking for the study now that this might be an urban legend, as there is no evidence of the original study)
From an analysis of client portfolios between 2003 and 2013, Fidelity found that their best investors were those who never touched their shares. But these weren’t investors with nerves of steel or those that somehow managed to pick winning shares from the outset. Fidelity’s most successful investors were already dead.
Chandler was the best character by a landslide.
