While a good start, they do still pay other kinds of federal taxes (without representation), such as payroll taxes

I don't see Wiles Ó Briker either

I left early in the morning with as much stuff as I could, I went to the next town over and sat in the parking lot waiting for the rental place to open so she wouldn't have a chance of browsing around town before work and find me. Before I got the rental I got all my money out as well. Aftrt getting the rental I went back to the house

I'm really confused about the logistics of this. How did he get to the next town over and back? Did he take the shared car? How does he get the rental car then, does one of the staff bring it? Why would she be looking for him around town, was it one of his days off so she expected him to stay home? Or would she just notice all the missing things?

I'd throw out a line like "if there was ever a chance that I would give you the days or some of the days, it is now gone. You have created a hostile environment by shit talking me to coworkers and going over my head and I need the holiday just to recover from all of that"

100% true. Note that I was responding to someone who called it quick and fun, so the lack of choices seemed like a relevant point there.

Monopoly has one great rule (or lack of specificity), that it doesn't put any restricting on when you are able to trade (doesn't even say it has to be your turn!). This creates a great ten minutes or so when most of the properties are bought and people are making interesting deals with each other.

Everything else in the game is bad because there are very few interesting decisions to make. The dice tell you where you go and the space you land on tells you what to do. Strictly you "decide" whether or not to buy an available property if you land on it, but it's virtually always a good idea. In the rare auction case you can decide your bid. You can decide which order you mortgage off your properties if you are out of money. I think one of the chance/CC cards has a choice on it? Even buying houses is kind of dull since you have to build them evenly across the block.

Apparently this is the storyline of some book series so presumably fake. If not though, what are these lives??

Definitely some projection going on here, Decker is suffering for the sins of her father.

Decker remembers her to have told her to her face "You're not real family"

Even if you don't see this girl as your niece, she is still your cousin's daughter. Like she is absolutely family by any definition.

The only acceptable internal handling is convincing the boys to stay with them and maybe getting some clean evidence for police. As the commenter said, child abuse is a crime and should be handled as such

Muscles could just be opening and closing the valve I guess?

I think the point is that the bladder is above where the pee comes out so gravity could be pulling it out of the body. Aiming upwards wouldn't change this relationship because the pee is outside the body at that point. By being upside down the bladder is now below where the pee comes out and gravity would be keeping it in. By being able to pee upside down, he demonstrates that gravity is not a necessary component.

I think it can be demonstrated by aiming upwards with some extra pressure though. If gravity were the only thing pulling pee out, i wouldn't be able to shoot over someone's head for instance as the pee wouldn't have enough kinetic energy. Thus gravity is not the only component.

Can you register with both parties? Choose the best candidate for your party in your primary and the worst viable candidate for the other one?
