I wouldn’t say they were taken care of in this case…

But regardless, that’s a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

That’s helpful to know, but man, that’s hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

They’re only asking for 38,000? Seems really low…

Most plastics are not inherently toxic.

My thoughts exactly.

They are overtly sexual… but not moreso than many other ads.

I think an educated populace is an invaluable resource. But, nothing is stopping someone from not going to free college if they want.

By my ex wife.

Sure, but usually the term manipulation has a negative connotation.

In a sense, when my kid asks for fruit, they are manipulating me. But that’s not what anyone means. They mean a kind of devious persuasion.

Making your states education system into merely a business is a great way to hamstring your state and it’s population.

WVU may well do fine. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t repercussions.

Education shouldn’t be as expensive as it is.

Practically speaking, I get why students look at it that way because, like you said, it is an expensive luxury at that price.

But, it shouldn’t cost that much.

That title is terrible.

I feel like it would get much better a mistake if they did… I use both windows and Linux now. I would rather use Linux full time but some software, specifically office and some (not most, but a few) don’t play nice with Linux.

If I just lost a ton of programs that I would say are critical for windows, no doubt I switch full time unless my work prevents me.

I think a lot of us have been voting as best we can.

There are a lot of divorced people who like it play the victim when it was painfully obvious what they were giving up to everyone but them. Divorce is horrible.

There are of course many who have escaped abused through divorce, so I don’t want to act like they are all the same, but man can people be selfish.

None of that accurately describes my position. Please reread my posts. I have doubts you are giving a good faith effort.

My judgement isn’t above question. I don’t know why you think that I think it is.

You’re saying her perspective of an event that she was present for is incorrect and your perspective of an event that you weren’t there for is more correct.

I never said that. I don’t believe that.

I think that, given the context provided, he was excited about a topic he was passionate about, nothing more. If there’s more context, I may well be wrong. But we don’t have that and in the absence of more information, my opinion is my opinion.

I have offered an alternative that believe is more compelling. I might be wrong, but given the information provided, I think my reasons are good.

She had more context, and she might be right. But that hasn’t been provided to us, so I can’t respond to any of that.

So, we aren’t ever allowed to suggest that another course of action was better if we weren’t there? Really?

The context we have: “On my flight was talking to a guy next to me & it came up that I run. He starts telling me how I need to train high mileage & pulls up an analysis he’d made of a pro runner’s training on his phone. The pro runner was me. It was my training.”

I don’t see how I haven’t taken all that into account. No doubt context was left out of that post. I’m not taking that into account because I don’t know it. If I did, my opinion would probably be different.

I don’t see why I’m not allowed to think it would have been better for her to tell him.

There may well be other context not communicated in the post that changes things. All I’m saying, is that based off this, it just sounds like he’s passionate about something and maybe she missed out on a good conversation. Of course, I could be wrong and more context may change things.

Of course it happens. I never said it doesn’t. I said it sounds to me like he’s just passionate about something in this case. I even said if he ignores her expertise after he finds out who she is, then he’s an ass and ignore him.

let’s keep in mind, this whole time you’re correcting a woman on a topic that you’ve yet to show any experience in, plus weren’t even present for and all you have is her perspective, and you still said it’s wrong.

Dude, it’s a conversation with a stranger. Why do you act like I’ve never had any experience talking with a stranger?
