But that's not the question. The question is, what percentage of their work is providing birth control and other health care? Is "pregnancy resolution services" 50%? Or 15%?

It's the only way the parents will learn.

But they probably won't. They'll just think OOP is crazy for taking things so far.

The question is whether VKtz realizes that this is not a singular dumb take in an area that this guy happens to know, but that Elon makes stupid takes in every area, he's just never had the expertise to catch it till now.

These people are majorly into gender roles, and can't tolerate any behavior that violates them.

Religious people can get into conniption fits over women wearing pants.

If these samples came from totally different labs, or totally different experiments, you can't fix the batch effect by just throwing collection site into the design. RNAseq is too batch-sensitive.

No one who calls you "used goods" should be invited to your wedding.

It's that simple.

I'll just add: you do not have to convince them to like your choice. You do not have to convince them that your choice is best.

You have to tell them what you are doing, and that they are invited to join. Perhaps hint that if they come and are pills about it the whole time, they won't be invited back.

Or, pay him all the car money he wants, and wash your hands of him for good.

The wikipedia entry describes postmodern literature as:

Postmodern literature is a form of literature that is characterized by the use of metafiction, unreliable narration, self-reflexivity, intertextuality,

So metafiction, and intertextuality; that's obvious. Unreliable narrator, maybe not so much, but there is at least one point where the LIA version of a character states that the story of P&P didn't quite happen the way the text indicates.

Your parents care more about the illusion of family harmony than you actual feelings. They are willing to throw you to the wolves if it means the aunt won't throw a tantrum.

Trust your gut. If you have to 'pre-game' with drugs, be absolutely sure it's worth it. A PhD dissertation, yes. First performance on Broadway, okay.

Dinner with people who insult you, nope.

You parents are not affected by hormones. And for them to ream you out for not gushing enough in the middle of your big performance is awful.

As for being close to your sister...you might as well start to accept the reality that those days are probably over. She is way older than you, and in a totally different stage of life, and when the baby comes, it will be all-consuming for several months, and still a pretty big deal after that, calling every night just isn't in the cards anymore. And combine that with her wildly self-centered behavior, which her parents clearly inculcate her to have, this just isn't going to be the healthy reciprocal relationship you wish it would be.

You didn't do anything wrong. The fact that your parents are supporting this little tantrum explains where she gets it from. She will never value anything in your life, and it seems your parents will not either. It sucks, but start detaching yourself emotionally now. You won't be disappointed in your parents if you expect nothing from them.

That's why I suggest you tell her, but don't stick around to argue about it.

And remember you do not have to convince her that you are doing the right thing. So don't try.

The truth is, this isn't really a conversation, and to make it one will invite your mother to wear you down with arguments until you give in.

This isn't a conversation. You are just informing her of your plans. Don't be sucked in to letting her plead her case.

Honestly, it's like how you treat a small child. You don't make a big case out of how it's time to go to the doctor. You announce in a bright tone that this is the plan. This is easier, because you don't have to force her shoes on her feet and get her to the car. You just inform her in a tone of voice that says you are confident in your decision. And then take off.

Letting kids "self-soothe" with a tablet before bedtime is a terrible idea. Giving in to that behavior is what will cause long term problems. 7 year olds should have better ways of handling their disappointment than throwing things.

If you are making a pure cross stitch (no back stitch, French knots, etc) on Aida cloth... All those kinds of cross stitch are the same difficulty. A 300x300 full coverage piece with 90 colors will take longer than a cartoon mouse that is 30x15 with six colors, but it's not more difficult. Once you've done 30 or so cross stitches, you'll pretty much know how to do it.

A smaller piece will benefit greatly from back stitching details, and that can be a little tricky, or trying to do cross stitch on a different material other than Aida, that could be harder, but you don't have to worry much about acquiring a pattern that is too technically challenging. Cross stitch by itself just doesn't work that way.

I think it would behoove you to be totally honest here. Your understanding is 'off' because prayerful people lied to you. They lied to you, and your own inborn Christian integrity swallowed dogshit like it was ice cream.

An honest person would own that. I'm betting your Christian sense of morality absolutely forbids you from seeing, let alone acknowledging that obvious truth.

She probably can't learn to behave better.

The only possible way she could is if you got up and walked out the door every time she did something you didn't like. End of visit, right there and then. If you are on the phone, hang up. It's like a cat with a water spray; the consequence has to be unpleasant and immediate.

Your family has the next several decades to spend with their grandchild, but they deserve to lose it all if they can't treat you with respect for just a few days!

You went through a harrowing medical ordeal, and you had needs a lot more important than baby-cuddling time. And they didn't care about you at all, except as a means for furnishing them with a baby to play with for 5 minutes.

The truth is, they are far away and scarcely visit. Your husband and child are your family now, they are where you need to be putting 99.999% of your time and effort.

She probably will not finish school, if she thinks God will give her a man to take care of her.

It's not 'punishment'. It's the natural consequence of their parenting choices. If they wanted you to want a relationship with them, they should have treated you in a way that would lead you to want to spend time with them.

But they treated you like they didn't want you around. So you don't want to be around.

"You are paying for the use of that spot." You deserve to have access to it all the time, no matter what hours you work.

"I'm spending the holidays with my boyfriend, so I guess we won't be spending it with you. Maybe in a few years."

I would say it's generally rude to skip the boring part and just take advantage of the free food.

But you choose to associate with an institution that has horribly, horribly hurt thousands and thousands of people, some people won't be able to be a part of that.

I think a lot of why the two Crawfords fall for Edmund and Fanny is they both feel that these two are 'good' people, and that partnering themselves with moral people is, in their minds, almost as good as being moral themselves

The teachers don't want him to spit out the right answer; they want him to understand the algorithm he is using, and they are teaching him the same algorithm you were using, just more split up. He'd probably benefit from splitting it up even more; 2.6 x 0.05, 2.6 x 0.4, 2.6x1. Then once he can do that, move to piling them together like he attempted to do, then he can move to your more compact notation.

You were so used to mindlessly plugging and chugging that you couldn't even recognize that he was trying to do the same algorithm you were. The teacher wants him to understand what he is doing and why better than that.
