    Nuns/nuns may wear habits, Jews may weak kippas and/or wigs 🤷 AFAIK they're each meant to show commitment to subordinate to god's will. According to scripture he said "do it" and they do. Not my cup of tea (I'm not a believer), but ultimately forbidding it is taking that decision from them, too.

    We had a poster at school showing what was required for degrees for jobs and higher levels of math correlated with high salaries, but there was one big dip in the high level of math - where the math teacher job was listed

    Perhaps because they see that you seem to be enjoying your book and coffee and it would be rude to interrupt...?

    Because it's obviously not a comic book or graphic novel and they feel under qualified for engaging at your level.

    Fitting for a bozo that just pretends to read a a book to get other bozos attention. If they were actually reading, just to enjoy it, they just might attract the attention of someone that's honestly interested in what they're doing.

    Her: seemingly tired of countless dates that didn't go anywhere and once that had similar conversation starters. Him: doesn't yet know the person in from of him, and is trying to find a common ground and get some sort of dialogue going.

    What an unlikable attitude. It doesn't matter that you might have been on many dates before and that you've heard all those questions before, the new person wants to get to know you a bit and those are common questions to get to know you and to get a conversation going. But with that kinda attitude, well, you're going to answer those questions A LOT in the future too, because who'd be interested.

    Who the hell came up with these generation titles. People laugh at those who categorize themselves with the zodiac signs. Yet these people are doing the same with the generation labels. You live the way you want to live and be who you want to be. Just because people around you act or behave in a. Certain way does not mean everyone else should as well
