All of my music was shared on Napster in 1999.
I like to think it had a direct affect on the music selection for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Bill Gate’s decision to step down as CEO of Microsoft to focus on charitable works. But, in reality, it likely had no affect on history.
If these answers are not provided, the claim then undergoes further review, which extends the time a winner must wait in order to receive their prize.
So the prize was delayed, not denied. Misleading headlines like this really make it difficult to trust the source.
Invictus by William Ernst Henley
When I was younger I clung to it’s message of perseverance. It ended up being the first poem that I ever memorized.
Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
Ride share is very popular and it offers a similar service to what most people expect from self driving cars.
I think that the majority of people want a vehicle for transportation and those who want a car for recreation are a minority.
Have you tried contacting them with questions about issues that concern you?
For me, it would essentially need to be a TARDIS.
Whenever I think of immortality I immediately go to the end of all other life and the idea of knowing that I would eventually be doomed to an inescapable existence of total isolation. Long before that, but hundreds of years from now, I am sure that I would go literally insane with boredom. I need to know that there will always be something new, different, and interesting. A TARDIS would allow me to go anywhere, anytime, with anyone.
I also fear eternal life in some preeminent imprisonment, either some form of external confinement, like being trapped at the bottom of the ocean by the crushing weight of the water around me, some form of locked-in syndrome. A TARDIS could operate on its own to save me from such a fate.
If eternity ever becomes too much, a TARDIS would also give some options to potentially end my existence.
The phrase “diversity hire” implies that they were not hired for their abilities. It attacks the person looking for a job rather than one making the hiring decision. So yes, it is a slur.
The purpose of phrases like “diversity hire” is to dehumanize and marginalize without ever having to learn anything about the person you don’t like and you won’t bring about inclusion by embracing those tactics, but it is noticed and called out, but it is done as a conversation and against the individual doing the hiring, not against a group of people who were hired and did nothing wrong.
At least that has been my experience.
This sounds like it was a bad match for you and you are better off without them.
In my opinion, the criteria for a successful relationship is one that encourages growth. It should provides a safe space where differences, changes and mistakes are accepted without judgement. Above all, you feel loved and supported. From your limited description it does not sound like he provided any of that.
I think I’m just meant to be single.
You are 20. You are likely still discovering the type of person you are and developing the strength and tools to be that person in the face of adversity. I think that you should enjoy being single and focus on you, not some “us”.
Love who you are, build a strong and healthy relationship with yourself, and realize that you deserve somebody who will honor and respect all of you not just the bits that are convenient for them.
I dream most nights, though the dreams themselves very rarely make it into my long term memory and are forgotten within minutes of waking up.
Sadly, no. I think most people are apathetic about anything that does not immediately and directly impact themselves. Evil doesn’t need much more than that to thrive. Meanwhile, good requires active participation, selflessness, and continual vigilance to thrive.
Judging by the number of people who cannot literally lift a finger to make roads a safer place through the use of turn signals, I don’t hold much hope for humankind, as a whole, to put in the continual effort to quash “evil”.
For me, it’s a 3 way tie between Tusk, Teeth, and Boxing Helena
Panhandling is just asking for money. Every celebrity, politician, school, charity, church, library, little league sports team, etc I can think of has done that at one point or another. I have worked in office environments where people have come around looking for donations for this thing or that.
How are you defining panhandling and why would it be any different than other forms of soliciting for donations? Because it sounds like your question is about policing a group of people and not an action.
In my opinion, the most important aspect of a healthy and strong relationship (romantic or platonic) is communication.
Talk to him. Mention it as an observation, ask him about why he thinks he does this, tell him your thoughts or concerns about it, whatever. It might be one conversation or multiple conversations over a period of time. The point is to bring up the topic and harbor a safe space to discuss anything with little to no judgement.
I’ve got my Plex server running on an Intel NUC 8 with 2 USB 2TB solid state drives serving as local storage for my media.
One method was the use of candle clocks.
Pretty sure my time would be up.
I used to spend a lot of energy being concerned what other people thought of me. How I dressed, how I acted, what I owned, etc. One day I realized 2 things:
Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to spare any meaningful thoughts for me.
I’m never going to see most of these people ever again so it doesn’t matter what they think.
After that I started directing that energy into making sure that I approved of my choices rather than hoping strangers would.
I’ve got a 20 year old Gmail account that I use when I need to sign up for something.
