How old is this cousin? Maybe they don't know how to deal with difficult information yet

Often times we get stuck in the what-if and it comes with a lot of anxiety and worry about trying to find the "right" thing to do or say. But what helps me is asking myself the question, "wouldn't you rather know?"

I've been denied by many beautiful women and I've been accepted by others I never thought I'd have a chance with. The only ones that I regret are the ones I never had the courage to ask. Life's short my friend, don't burden yourself with worry and wonder. Give it a try, just ask her honestly and be ok with whatever the answer is.

If she just wants to help with the house? Great, you have a better chance of becoming friends now that you're not worried about what she thinks of you. If she's unsure or says yes, then just let things develop as they will. Worst case scenario, she doesn't talk to you anymore...sad yes, but at least you can look for someone who wants you back!

Clearly you don't understand how slow things are in government. 6 months is a really fast turnaround for the government to get anything done.

You've never been a rich privileged white man I see. Trump's only thoughts are "surely this can't be fair, there's gotta be something we can do to come to a better agreement" and he'll continue to be flabbergasted by any other result because he's never had to deal with real consequences in his life.

If it's a fact then why did 240 scientists disagree? What were their findings? Science doesn't create facts, it supports or rejects hypothesizes based on the original question. Calling science fact was your first mistake. Missing the entire point of the argument by cherry-picking data sets that fulfill your narrative was the second.

Sticking your head in the sand is a great strategy for never helping to enact change. Knowledge is power, learn what you can.

Wow, I feel this lately. One day at a time, but you're telling me Christmas is in...18 days?

There's never a scenario on the internet where 99% of people agree with you...unless you're just talking to yourself. Just let it go, not like you lose anything with downvotes.

I wonder what he'd do if he were here...

Sasha Cohen. Sadly it never quite all came together for her, but she was so elegant on ice.

It's not a fact. You're predicting events of the future that haven't yet happened. I don't care what you know about the legal system, you absolutely cannot call it fact.

You are not a supreme being with the power of knowing or influencing the future. That's just nonsense.

Also I hope you're right.

Well that's a more specific situation. Personally I try to get things done ahead of time in group projects. That just feels respectful to the others. I can agree that it's a bit selfish to wait until the last minute when others can't get their stuff done until I do.

I just wanted to point out that procrastination shouldn't be considered selfish. Different people have different working styles that work best for them. It's a compromise to incorporate different working styles and the person who likes to do things right away and then relax should realize that there's other styles and not everyone can operate the same way as them.
