Reply to What’s a secret you have that could destroy you if it ever got out? by noelbrunning7news

I’m still in love with “the one that got away” it’s been 2 years and I tried therapy but I just couldn’t get over her she left and I never got to say goodbye.

I act like I’ve moved on but I’m secretly still hoping she’ll come back I had a small 6month relationship with someone else but we parted ways after we realised we wanted different things in life (me wanting kids, her not) even during that relationship part of me was hoping she’d come back, everyone thinks I got over her but the truth is I haven’t

Reply to With larger office buildings being left empty as companies shift to work-from-home platforms, could those buildings be converted into hospitals? What would the largest physical/mechanical/logistical etc obstacles be? by AmandaDarlingInc

Hospitals are built under vastly different codes than commercial real estate. How they withstand severe weather, width of doors/hallways, ceiling heights, air filtration, power grid considerations, storage of volatile chemicals/gasses, type of fire suppression, number of elevators/size, etc.

It’s often cheaper to demolish and build from scratch.

Now, for residential conversion from a former commercial office space — wayyyyy easier.

For what it’s worth, a lot of companies aren’t acquiescing to the work from home paradigm shift. They should, but they’re fighting it tooth and nail.

Reply to comment by lanascherrycoke in What's a paranormal experience you've had? by lanascherrycoke

Hmm that’s a good question. If anything I spent more time in my head about life situations and was less present. My dad always said he heard ghosts during the night and different smells like someone was cooking. I also heard typing in the study in the middle of the night in my early twenties so who knows….

Reply to Do you consider socialism to be good or bad, and why? by grayhaze2000

If providing a good or service requires the company providing that good or service to have a monopoly, then that good or service needs to be socialized.

Example: infrastructure.

You’ll never have multiple power lines running down your street, letting you hook up to whichever power line is a better deal. It’s a monopoly.

Same with water, same with internet, same with railroads. They work better socialized.

If a good or service is beneficial to a country as a whole, but can’t be run profitably, it should be socialized. Examples: the postal service, disaster relief, national defense, education.

If a good or service is much more beneficial to the country when it’s free than when it’s at max profit, have a socialized option and allow companies to compete with it.

Examples: Health insurance, publishing research, funding research. These are things that will save money or improve life in the long run if they’re free or cheap.

If a good or service is considered essential to the point where the company providing that service cannot be allowed to go out of business, and the government will bail them out every time they get close to bankruptcy, that company needs to be socialized. The free market requires companies to be able to go out of business to function.

If an industry allows for lots of competition between companies, don’t socialize it. That competition will drive innovation.
