I find it odd that natural disaster isn't on your list considering it's by far the most realistic scenario. Hell, it's already happening.

I guess the word "natural" isn't very accurate for a climate disaster, but still, it's not on your list.

Or perhaps, hear me out here, we could dedicate an entire field of science to understanding human biology, and train many people in this subject as professionals. They will be qualified to, among other things, examine a patient and determine objectively that they are deceased with no chance of revival. They can then verbally communicate this fact, or in other words, "pronounce" that the patient is dead.

idk I'm just spitballing here.

I agree with some of this but not so much with these parts:

I suggest it is time for you to grow up some.

No reason to treat OP like a child. This post is more of an "off my chest" than anything else. It sounds to me like that already accept most of what you said, but just need to process it.

if this were happening in the states it would be totally acceptable if she were 365 days older.

Would it? I'm not American. Would it be socially and ethically acceptable for a 40-something man to date an 18 years old girl? I'm skeptical of that. OP started their post pointing out it's not about legality.

Your father is [...] providing you safe place to have the relationships you want but you are not affording him the same.

That's not fair, for many reasons. First, I didn't get the impression that OP actively tried to sabotage the relationship, just probed at how it happened and maybe expressed that it makes them feel uncomfortable, though we don't even know that for sure. That's not the same as "not providing a safe space". For all we know, OP's dad might also be uncomfortable with a queer relationship but swallows it up - same as OP is doing.

Where I do agree with you is that OP's only remaining option is to accept that this relationship is happening. And I think OP already knew that before posting this.

The funniest thing to me is that any good manual would just say "DO NOT USE SOCKS AND FLIP FLOPS SIMULTANEOUSLY"

The cool and/or awful thing about language (not just English) is that if enough people many the same mistake, it's no longer a mistake!

I think you'll find that...

Hold on, let me get my glasses. 🤓

Actually, I think you'll find that a circle, just like a square, has uncountably infinitely many points!

They are immune to our sorcery. The bastards!

I think you are wrong in this case. For example, many people would write X's when talking about multiple instances of the letter X. As another commenter said, there are exceptions and acronyms can be one of them.

But I upvoted you anyway because us pedants need to stick together.

E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing

F. Same as E but that one person is lying too

Among many other reasons, this is one more why I always prefer to use a GUI than a terminal shell. The default delete operation is just sends files to trash, and that's easily undoable. I think you can even press Ctrl+Z to do so (can't check atm).

I don't even know how to do that from commandline.

(one online search later...)

There's a package for that but best I can tell there's no universal way.
