Does she say that to you explicitly ? If so, ask her: If she’s just going to die, why does it matter if she’s locked out of her accounts? If she has a reason to access her accounts, she has a reason to learn how to access them.

On a mental health note, the last of Erik Erikson’s stages of development relates to old age/end of life, and the choice is between dignity or despair. If you see your mother trending toward despair, she might need help with her mental health, such as seeing a therapist.

You also might consider therapy for yourself. I get the impression you’ve got some boundary issues with your mother that you could improve. Good luck to you

It means 1) you lack the imagination to describe your ideas with any nuance and 2) you’re the kind of guy who tells other people to put themselves in danger while sitting behind your keyboard doing nothing

I can’t help but notice you’ve contributed nothing productive to this conversation. Industries and companies have carbon footprints too. A carbon footprint is how much CO2 is generated by x. OP has $10,000 and control over themselves. They’re not going to be stopping Chevron. Jesus man

These are ways to immediately reduce your carbon footprint with $10,000, which is what OP asked for. There is absolutely no “shift of responsibility” involved in deciding to stop giving natural gas manufacturers and distributors your money.

If you have any natural gas appliances in your home (like water heater, dryer, stove, oven, HVAC), transition to an electric version. Cancel your gas service.

It’s like you read the first sentence and then stopped

Plenty small restaurants have not seen price increases this stark over this period of time. Eat there instead.

I don’t know enough to speak effectively to the overall point, but the banned food additive list and is only a microscopic portion of what food regulators do

Sorry, didn’t realize you still needed your skin. Here, you can have it back

Variations on a theme of dundundun duuuun

This is how the average hexbear user responds. Don’t think too deeply about it, because they sure aren’t.

I photocopied pages back in the day so they were easier to put on a stand

Beethoven’s Symphonies come to mind. His 5th and 6th symphonies really do tell stories and are very engaging.

Dude, The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook? Totally how I taught myself guitar too. My only beef with it was that I need to tune Beatles songs down a whole step for my vocal range, which was not practical as a beginner, but I learned all the chord shapes really quickly

Not just about the money, 90% money and 10% brand awareness

There are already lots of H5N1 vaccines for both animals and humans, and the US, for example, has stockpiles of millions. But if at some point the virus mutates to be able to circulate among humans (which it has not), existing vaccines would almost certainly not provide protection against that new virus. Since there is no virus like that yet, there is no vaccine for it yet, but pharmaceutical companies have been creating flu vaccines for many decades and would probably be able to create one and scale it up quickly

YouTube says the policy will combat “egregious” clickbait that misleads viewers, with a particular focus on videos related to “breaking news” or “current events.” The company’s examples of egregious clickbait include a video with the title “the president resigned!” that doesn’t actually address a resignation or a “top political news” thumbnail attached to a video with no news content.

This is only going to target garbage-level content. You can still expect the same clickbait-style titles and thumbnails from established creators

4. A ton of people rely on the advice of financial advisors who don’t have their interests in mind and who sell them mutual fund packages with high expense ratios that do poorly long term. These people generally lack the financial knowledge to know any different.

I think it’s important to break down what he’s actually being charged with, and note he’s not being charged with any federal offense under any federal anti-terrorism laws. The PATRIOT Act does not apply here.

What he’s been charged with are first degree murder and second degree murder under the laws of New York State. First degree murder in New York only applies to several very specific circumstances, and the only one of those even remotely related to what Luigi Mangione did is:

the victim was killed in furtherance of an act of terrorism, as defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section 490.05 of this chapter

Which is defined as:

(b) for purposes of subparagraph (xiii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section 125.27 of this chapter means activities that involve a violent act or acts dangerous to human life that are in violation of the criminal laws of this state and are intended to:

(i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

(ii) influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion; or

(iii) affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping.

The reality is the prosecutors want to be able to get him with first degree murder, but the likelihood of that sticking, I believe, is really low. I think they believe that too, which is why he’s also charged with second degree murder. Second degree murder in this case seems like a slam dunk, whereas “charged him with terrorism” makes for flashy headlines but is just not likely to go anywhere based on what’s publicly known in this case.

And this is based on what
