Okay, that was a hillarious stupid read. This belongs in [email protected]

Even without that, there’s criteria to becoming a driving instructor, and a minimum age to recieve such instruction on public roads. You have to get your Permit first. 12 years old definitely doesn’t cut it.

On the one-hand, I’m with you. On the other, almost no-one actually checks the comment-history of those they interact with here. You’ll mostly get the set that can’t be bothered to notice nuance diving into vote history instead.

You want people insulting you or refusing to interact with you because you downvoted a post or three in a random community, no matter how many you up-voted from same? Be my guest, but make it happen it yourself.

Samaria? Like that place where the non-Israeli, non-Jewish Samaritans lived, even in the time of Jesus? Let’s do that one. It hasn’t been strictly “Judea” since the Book of Esther.

Oh no, I’m absolutely convinced you are right. Now, convince the moms …

That’s just facebook with extra steps

facebook first went to shit around the time kids and grandparents were allowed to join, so …

I saw the “break the bulb” solution before I commented. Points for the most straight-forward solution, assuming its a simple light-source and not something more secure that a few bulbs at most.

I mean, my solutions either require more information or for the question to be stupidly open-ended.

I’m fond of “leave the door open”, but that only works if the doorway is visible from the switches and the space between too bright.

“send someone else into the room and call them” requires the freedom to do that, but end-runs the need for me to go into the room entirely.

Gimme two smartphones and I’m video-calling one I leave in the room.

In all of my answers and others I’ve seen so far, we’re either making presumptions or making shit up. The question fails as an “only one right answer with only the information given” logic test, but would work to reveal how we approach problems - a personality test.

India would be on my top-3-shortlist of countries that would have me worried if their government had any success at stamping-out piracy. I could swear most of my downloads have English and Hindi or Bengali for audio/subs with little-else, and it would be soooo much more if I downloaded CAMRips…

Trolling Elon-stans is also a plus in my book.

I don’t, but there is no smart-or-dumb-phone that has it. The fact that’s due to plan availability changes nothing, nevermind that with said plan, almost any recent phone would do.

I’m liking New Orleans 100x better than Chicago for this criteria.

You’re giving him and his stans too much credit. You gotta force-feed them more cognitave-dissonance that they can’t figure out whether they disagree or you just know something they don’t, until their crowded little heads POP.

Reasons I would acquire a Tesla: no-one would have shit to say about my mods. The questions would start and end with “why a Tesla?”

“Why do you have these bright-yellow pull-handles connected to cables running-into every door inside?” Bich, don’t you know, Elon sold me a space-ship? Only me tho - the rest of you are too nice and it creeps him out.

My (grown)kids’ bitching about naked people in shows or movies is itself about as amusing to me as porn these days … or it would be if it didn’t make me wonder where I went wrong. Is it hurting you? If not, for the love of god, let it be.

… and now she’s interested. Good for them.

Worse, particularly in how they’ll react when confronted with dudes who also use the “well off” criteria.

Guys and gals should be free to apply ALL of those criteria, both ways. You really okay with dudes who do?

Gets more important as you get older, actually.

Letting a chick mooch off you for too long in a common-law state is a bad-idea. Kids with a poor chick is also a bad idea. All of this is moot if you just plan to give her half your stuff early-on; I won’t lie, that’s more mature than demanding someone you are better-off than put up with your shit indeffinitely; but try that before the relationship ends, and you’re likely to find she has no more use for you.

Friend of mine has three criteria for women, aside from attractive which is just a given in his dating pool:

House (at least somewhere to go where she’s welcome and not abused)

Income (ideally a job, but passive-income works)

Vehicle (or willing to use whatever form of transport it takes to get her need$ met without constantly borrowing/demanding rides)

If she’s not bringing all three to the table, you’re paying for whatever you get out of the relationship, somehow. Me? I don’t think that would bother me so much were I to find myself single, but I have other criteria re: emotional and overall maturity, and women who have those figured out tend to have the House, Income, Vehicle thing worked-out as well.

Lastly, it goes without saying that if you’re not bringing all that to the table, you don’t get to be so picky. These are long-term-relationship criteria, but people would be so much healthier if they knocked these all out before pretending they deserve to be anyone else’s one-and-only.
