I know a guy who got his teeth obliterated by doing this and had to get facial reconstruction.

It's not quite the same. In an automatic, you have something called a parking pawl, which is a little cam that prevents the transmission from moving when in park. When you park a manual in gear with the parking brake disengaged, all that's holding it there is engine compression - and park on a hill steep enough, you may find that the force of gravity is enough to overcome that.

Will you be OK 98% of the time? Probably, but I've parked my Jeep on pretty precarious inclines before off-road and if you make it muscle memory you don't have to worry about it.

But that's the same in an automatic drive, or an I missing something?

It's pretty passive aggressive and I wish I could use it more than I do.

I like using this because while you get to mock them for asking a stupid question you’re also helping them get the answer

It's another safety fallback, I wouldn't trust keeping it in gear alone.

Well at least you get some hug.

What does it have to do with a stick shift? Because you park in neutral?

This is bad advice

They kicked me out after 1 day because some random doctor from my insurance decided I didn't need to be there. They said I would only be approved for day treatment. Which I had already completed and they told me to go to residential next! But it can be helpful if they allow you to stay there...

It’s 2023 where both iPhone and Android have some version of Medical ID specifically for this stuff and every first responder is aware of it and how to access it if you have set up.

A way better response is to give them the answer, and what you googled to get the answer.

So, like, when an intern tells me "This ticket says it doesn't work with nmcli and I don't know what that is. What should I do?" I go "Huh.... ok, so I googled nmcli and it turns out it's a command-line network manager tool. Have you tried running it from the command line?"

That way, you convey the information that they should google that kind of thing in the future, but don't imply that they're stupid for not knowing it automatically, and you still give them the opportunity to talk through it with you.

This has been reposted so many times, I already know that a split open bag is better and can just be thrown away after

That's genuinely great advise! The same works for rewatching shows where you almost know the dialogue by heart.

I learned English by reading Anime subtitles, playing video games and swapping my OS to English, too. Lots and lots of vocabulary, metaphors, pronunciation and grammar all the time, from all sides.

This is called immersion; trying to incorporate something you're learning into as many things in your daily life as possible. Give it a shot, you'd be surprised by the results after only a year!

One time I stood up to a bully. He proceeded to punch me two times in the face and almost broke my nose.

I know most people are in the States, but if you are in canada, my grandmother and her friends that all retired from the CRA wrote a tax program called StudioTax. It's free to download and easy to use. It only charges you if your income is above $20,000 and if they do charge you, it's $16 and you can file up to 20 returns. The money goes to retired software developers, not a corporation.

Yes... You know, some schools in the US require you to be searched and go through detectors and such on the way in.

Learn to defend yourself, and then defend others who can't.

If you do have to beat someone, do it with respect. help them up, make them put there hands up, whatever it is. Kicking them while there down will make them think you got lucky and retaliate. If they know you won, and will win every time, they won't try it again, and they'll think twice the next time they think about picking on someone. Senselessly beating someone is no better than being a bully, no matter how much you think they deserve it.

Many bullies will in fact clobber you when you try to put up a fight. If you're gonna go for them, make sure you can win.

Just make sure that when you decide to stand up to a bully:

1. You're as calm and rational as you can be under the circumstances.
2. You use reasonable means that won't get you in jail/immediately fired/otherwise seriously harmed.

Opposing or exposing the bully could quickly backfire in bad ways, therefore when possible - ensure your own safety during and after the process.

Bullying doesn't magically stop at a certain age, it continues throughout their lives to some extent. It might be contained to their families or jobs. It doesn't stop until they are confronted by a bigger bully than themselves and even that is no guarantee that they will quit.

Add to that that they are cowards. You don't see them bullying anyone stronger, they pray on the weak.
