  The price of the TVs hadn’t caught up to the price of energy and other commodities that are used to manufacture and transport them. We will be seeing that inflation hit over the next 6 months

  I think what she’s doing is called “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externalization_(psychology).” She’s not able to recognize and/or tolerate her own internal state and is projecting onto you. Maybe she feels shame for what happened and can’t tolerate feeling shame, so she’s treating you like you should feel ashamed. All this is arguable though

  Mix in a bit of ivermectin and that’s a hot date for a Friday night

  The water has to do with using less water being better for the environment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an optimal angle when using a urinal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even low flush toilets use more water than modern urinals though. Some modern urinals use no water at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an optimal angle when using a urinal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Urinals use significantly less water than toilets, fyi

  Remember that if you text back “stop,” you’re giving the spammer the info that your # is active, which makes it more likely you’ll get more spam. Use the “report spam” function in your text app instead

  If that’s your perspective, is anyone ever responsible for anything? Or is it all just genetics and hormones

  While it’s got its faults, I’m a Pandora guy and find it vastly superior to Spotify, particularly when trying to find new music

  You’re correct, but I meant from the therapist’s perspective. Couples therapy is real easy to go sideways

  My hunch is they were using that as an excuse when the reality was they were terrified of doing couple’s therapy because it’s really hard

  As a long time reader of the subreddits where this sort of advice is posted, sure, some commenters fall back on this advice, which requires no thought and is very easy to consider when you’re not at all involved, however the top responses are almost always well thought out perspectives on the relationship.

  If this question is about your parents and how they treat you though, which I’m considering based on your post history, I’m afraid you’re going to find there’s nothing you can do to change them, and that putting distance between them and yourself is your only pathway to minimizing that negativity in your life.

  They state right there at the beginning that they’re studying how social cues impact addiction. That knowledge has real potential to impact substance abuse treatment modalities.

  As an aside, the “how did that get funded” joke is a common right-wing trope to dismiss or undermine any science they don’t like, so I’d recommend in the future you avoid it

  The race to outflank each other on the right has been happening in the Republican party for over 40 years, but over the last 16 years they’ve gone increasingly batshit

  When I was in college, this girl who was whip smart in one of my bio classes invited me over, and I quickly discovered she was a prolific weed dealer. Never in a million years would I have guessed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume you mean well, but this is serious “confidently incorrect” energy. Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes bubonic plague, never changed to become less virulent and can still affect humans to this day. It has been killing a ton of humans for thousands of years and was still killing thousands of people at a time in localized outbreaks up until we discovered the antibiotics that cure it.

  Also, it’s transmitted through the fleas on small mammals, not through the mammals themselves. Flea transmission is far and away the primary vector. Human to human transmission has always been pretty rare, since it can only be transmitted between humans through contact with bodily fluids, similar to how HIV spreads.

  A copay is what you pay up front at the doctor’s office. Depending on the services provided, you may receive a bill after the fact that will be either the percentage you’re obligated to pay by your insurance company (coinsurance) or the balance your insurance didn’t cover, for example if you haven’t met your deductible. You’ll definitely sometimes get separate bills from a provider and a facility, but usually at hospitals moreso than outpatient clinics
