I used to work with Hospice. I once witnessed a nurse explain to a patient that their son wasn't going to visit. The patient did not take it well. I asked her about it later and she said contacting estranged relatives on behalf of patients was practically part of the process, and refusal was more common than acceptance. Also the nurse can expect verbal abuse from both parties.

I don't know wright or wrong, but I do know that death regularly fails to overcome estrangement.

I suspect too many questions won't submit to a binary.

Pinnochio, Is light a wave?

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

The point of those kind of estimation methods is not so you'll agree with a clock, it's so you'll agree with yourself if you do it twice. Using a "foot" as a literal measuring unit isn't so dumb if only one person is measuring.

In cooking, what a "cup" is in volume can vary by like 30% from cook to cook and depending on environmental factors. But if you're the same cook, working in the same environment, your method will work every time.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

They are however partisan hacks.

It's worse than that, they're actively corrupt. Robert's or Alito's Judicial philosophy is as irrelevant as Thomas' racial identity; they believe in getting paid.

The prequils were hated too, until they were rehabilitated by the audience they were intended for: people who watched it as kids. The sequel trilogy will be the same way.

There is only like 2 genuinely good movies in the mainline series and "The Last Jedi" is one of them.

The responses to this post are why I like lemmy.

I read this meme and dropped in here to pile on the Christian, only to find out that ya'll are more knowledgeable and kinder than I am.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.
