Building off of this, some Japanese households will bathe then towel off and let the next person bathe in the same water and shower off after. Therefore there is a 2 stage cleaning cycle.

I don’t have direct experience so call me out if I heard wrong.

As a native speaker, I will try to answer without being pedantic with a dictionary: to be passive aggressive is to answer with an unusual assumption and to act like the other party should have known all along.

E.g. if you want someone to leave and it is snowing, say “I just cleaned off the snow from your car so you can make it home safe. When do you plan on leaving?” This places an expectation and social pressure to accept the gift of cleaning the snow by leaving soon.

E.g. if you want to leave work at 5pm daily and your boss knows this and adds a frivolous mandatory meeting to the office calendar. You can take notes in the meeting then at the end send the email with notes to the recipients and say “this meeting could have been an email with no knowledge lost”. This implies that your boss did a disservice by wasting everyone’s time when they could have just used a secretary and an email and let you keep to your informal time to leave boundaries.

Good luck figuring out and understanding the actual definition!!!

No, I think his crime was that he wanted to take away the whole purpose of life aka living with choice between good and evil. Then the icing was that he wanted God’s glory to be given to him.

My understanding of the purpose of life is that we have no memory of before, we are faced with plausible good and evil choices, and finally we get some hardware that lasts (physical body). There is some irony that the option for evil comes first from lucifer.

I beg to differ, and i dont consider altering sex ed to be full evil. When people have a lot of money and power and political influence they can do some bad unethical things. Things like requiring “the correct race” to breed and “the incorrect race” to have forced military drafts and mobilizations. It’s right now easier for other immediate goals to … not go that route yet. Let the robots and automation catch up to the depopulation is my guess.

I learned something today about something removed 35 years ago.

Planning my additional research, for someone alive to have gone to the temple and have done these, they would have to be at least 55ish. I’ll try to find someone to talk about it.

I’m curious. The temple has 4 rituals

1. baptism on behalf of your ancestral dead
2. ritual washing
3. promising 5 commandments that are above a regular baptisms promises to gain access to pass through to God’s dwelling with power.
4. marriage for all eternity.

Mormons dance around temple and associated rituals being sacred, not secret, so the command to not cast pearls before swine applies; but certain promises are not to share signals that show you made the extra promises, so just to be sure, mormons treat it all temple info as secret unless they actually thought about the words of the rituals.

I have been able to talk to Mormons outside of temples in pretty deep detail because I was respectful (not mocking).

Please be specific, what part seems to pantomime suicide? I’m thinking baptism on behalf of ancestors?

I met two people who hate seatbelts to this day: a old coworker and a pregnant woman. Both were able to wear without complaint with a large binder clip releaving the tension (on the belt at the shoulder)

I memorized the following: “Port wine is red, and none is left in the morning”

Therefore Port - Left and Red and the other “Starboard” is Right and Green.

Having retirement shares as the same shares as the company that one is working at seems to be a huge concentration of risk. If you go out of business, then people lose both current active income and future passive income. I hope that your staff diversify away that risk.

Regarding “retaining control” there are a number of stakeholders that almost never “retain control”.

• customers have no direct control over your strategic direction, but they have indirect vote with dollars. Companies will often hire a “FP&A analyst” to try to guess the trends and the ways that a customer will need to be, but often you need straight up contact with customers (interview a random 25 customers each quarter about questions key to your competencies and areas of frustration before the FP&A guy starts crunching numbers and saying that “this is where the market is” in a garbage in and garbage out manner)
• employees (not management) have no direct control over your strategic direction, but they have an indirect effect on productivity and profits. In my opinion, there should be a benefit like “donation to a office worker union” that represents employees but does not actually make them salt/unionize in your office unless you start the path of enshittification.
• regulators have no direct control over your strategic direction, but they can dry up your supply or your demand with hurdles to jump over. Spending a little bit of money to have a seat at the table in regulations that are directly applicable to your business is an important civic duty of businesses. If you have legal counsel on a retainer, then they should be able to give you a summary of laws and regs that are being considered so you can make your voice heard.
• vendors have no direct control over your strategic direction, but they can produce synergies or referrals if you treat them right. Keeping a pulse on your vendors and being willing to take an insurance policy out incase a crucial vendor will cause you to lose revenue if they fail is a good business.
• Hedge against stupid risk - try to match your variable revenues to variable expenses. Also try to match your fixed revenues to fixed expenses. Example: if you have a lease on a building that costs a fixed amount no matter what monthly, then try to have that office serve recurring contract customers at least equal to the cost of rent. You can then spend the rest of capacity on Variable revenue that correlates closer to the variable expenses like salaries of salespeople.
