So what is a first or a 2:1?

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What specific phase is it? I know you mention there is ambiguity, but is it something before asking someone on a serious date? Is it after a few dates and deciding if things are serious?

I think all I was saying is that you can’t give advice like ‘don’t pussyfoot around, just answer the question’ when a big part of the topic is ‘what does this question mean?’

That really assumes the person being asked has some idea what the talking phase is. You literally cannot clearly answer a question that doesn't make sense. Is 'talking' a positive thing? An 'only friends' reference? Coming back from an argument?

That is arguably worse

Honestly judge, that’s were I had all the evidence that I’m not corrupt and stuff…

But how does that answer OPs question about why is friends upon in Western society? That's what 'dawg' was commenting about.

It only 'matters' to the extent that OP claimed it doesn't run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does 'because' you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I'm saying it's that anecdotal evidence doesn't refute an assertion like that.

If you'd said 'it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z' i wouldn't be arguing, I'd likely be reading an article about it. But it's worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.

Seems like it. It was worded a little unusual so not terribly surprising, but technically you said it's a deal breaker if they're not into x, y and z. :)

Good things to future out since cloud to cloud lightning is significant and if the island is large it would likely be in the path often. Not an expert for for story telling, might make sense that it is handled relatively benignly. Maybe the coral is a poor path to follow or is very attractive, making the strikes really frequent and light, hardening the sides and creates a pocket of relatively low energy in the surrounding clouds.

Wow, those are deal breakers if they're not into them?

Just funny that you are saying that you can't relate to someone because they can't relate to someone. Empathy isn't just about feeling other people's pain, it's about being able to understand things from another perspective.

Not being able to relate to them is literally relating to them.

The question wasn't wether there are inheritable health issues, diabetes, some cancer, etc are demonstrated to have a heredity component. I'm not even arguing that heart disease 'isn't' hereditary, I'm just saying that in the context the argument, you saying that several of your family members had it doesn't prove that specific thing is inherited. Everyone does of something and the fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited.
