I don’t know what a Mind War Accounts is and am uncertain if I should answer. Please send help.

When I saw “American rail” the first and only thought I had was of a porn parody of a movie: An American Rail: Fievel Bangs West.

“in a row?”

I don’t know about op, but this is the exact kind of thing I’d buy from a thrift store

I do not understand the reason for swearing being considered bad.

I do not understand why replacement words are better.

If it were the specific sounds being made that are wrong, replacement words would make sense. However, since other languages have no prohibition on these words and may have words that sound the same/similar to swear words in another language.

If the meaning behind the words was the ‘bad’ part, then replacing those word with other words that express the same idea would be just as wrong.

Who determines which words are bad? If it’s a cultural thing I guess it makes sense but a person is fickle and groups of them even more so. I still don’t understand why a group would prohibit specific words but not their meanings (barring superstition, like in the case of the origin of word “bear”). If it were a deity of some kind, it makes me return to the question why specific words in specific languages but not the meaning and intent behind those words.

I opted out of the ability to have kids and am in a long term relationship with no intent to marry, unless a legal reason suddenly appears. I’m in my late 30’s and have I do have many friends who have gone down this route, some are more mature, successful, and/or happy than I am and some are not.

I’m a big advocate of those things not being a thoughtless choice, but something that a person takes a long time to think about before they try for either one. I’ve met way too many people who either, while they love their kid(s), don’t like how their life turned out because of them or are miserable in their marriages and will likely get a divorce.

Do you care if others see you as an asshole? Remove morality and other social obligations from it, if you don’t like someone, you don’t like someone. If spending time with this person upsets you, don’t. Hell, even if you force yourself to go there’s a chance he’ll get under your skin and you’ll end up causing a problem.

Would I know it’s my last day? If so, skip work and take a nap. If not, work then take a nap.

Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!

An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend

I’m not aware of anything. Why are you looking, maybe there is something similar out there.

I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn’t a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.

The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations’ practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

I’m a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted “ME WANT JORB!!!1” and they gave me one.

However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.
