I first became aware of the board around 2006-2007 and this was my first memory of the place. Hilarious.
Sorry to interrupt the nostalgia, but I have a question. When you're getting a divorce (like me), when is it not cheating to go out with someone else? After you've moved out? After you've filed papers? After it's final? Some other time? Just curious. Apparently I'm a lot more popular at work than I realized.
Ethically: at the point which you've communicated to your spouse that you are seeking a divorce and that your decision is final. For good manners I'd tack on a few weeks grace period, but if they cheated on you or were shitty in some way, fuck 'em and fuck immediately.
I would be more worried about the legal ramifications of sleeping with someone else while going through a divorce. Maybe ask your lawyer? I would also advise that you not sleep with anyone your work with unless you are trying to find a new career also.
Agree, with this good advice. Also, waiting the extra weeks showing off how super ethical you are will make you more desirable and ultimately contribute to more enthusiastic blowjobs.
The heavy handed moderation ruined a lot of threads because once a couple of the mods took a stance, a lot of the posters would just repeat the same thing because if you disagreed there was a good chance one of the mods would go ballistic screaming at you, and start deleting your posts. Overall though, most of the people who actually got banned deserved it. When a place has a way to draw heavy traffic the tard flow is just epic. I could only make it a couple pages into that redhighheels thread. At the time I remember it being hilarious, but going back I just feel bad for her. She's probably still fucking that same guy. I can't remember the exact username, but the most incredible display of consistently awkward stupidity was this user named something like whateverxuluvmexoxo. She only made something like 20 posts, but not even one of them was the least bit sensible. Eventually, she wanted the board to prank call some girl who fucked boyfriend, everyone bashed her for it, and she finally left.
How though? On a treadmill, its not actually moving so no wind is passing over the wings to create lift.
When divorce was imminent, expressed, and under way, and I met someone who tripped my trigger, I went for it. Both times.
Cheating is violating the terms of your relationship agreement so as soon as you've ended the relationship, you're ethically clear. Though if you don't want to be a huge dick about it, adding a few weeks is a classy thing to do. But, as others have said, the morality may differ from the legality and you should check with a lawyer. In some states you'd probably be considered the at fault adultering spouse if you sleep with someone prior to legal separation or final divorce.
Not sure if serious . . . but, just in case, this last bit of Mythbusters shows the idea: When you are running on a treadmill, as the belt moves under you, you drive with your legs at the same pace to stay in one spot. A car does the same thing, because the tires being in contact with the road are what make it go forward. Airplane tires are not motorized. The propeller (or jet engine) is what gives it thrust. So, the question is "can it take off?" not, "can it generate just enough thrust to hold still?" Since it can generate the thrust irrespective of the belt running underneath it, the plane moves forward, creating the lift it needs to take off. At least, that's the way I understand it.
Get the movement of the ground out of your head. The wheels do not cause a plane to accelerate while moving down the runway, the jet/prop does. Once it reaches its lifting speed on a treadmill that moves fast enough, it will take off because the jet/prop will have its needed take-off speed. Suck it, SLF. Edit: up yours, Rush.
So this whole discussion centers around if the wheels cause the propeller to move. If the wheels don't cause the propeller to move, then I'm with the flat earth society
The REAL centre of it was a graphic designer telling STEM fielders that they didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, and unless they denounced the basic laws of their expertise they would be expelled from the board.
It was hilarious. I was one of the lesser educated responders and even I had four more years of physics under my belt than was needed to understand why the plane takes off. BUT WE WERE ALL OF US IGNORANT.
