Reply to LPT: some exes will ask for a final conversation for “closure” don’t fall for it. by Lexafaye
So, you're justifying ghosting someone? This is very cowardly. As another pointed out already, it is very situational. If another human being has invested themselves in you personally, it speaks volumes about your character how you treat them when it comes to end a relationship. This is not a pro life tip. It is the poor advice from a coward. Someone should have a word with your mother on how she failed to properly raise you.

I love reading irrelevant blanket statements that cover a subset of the population

This is interesting to see people believe stuff like this. I think it's very situational

Try it for yourself, just be aware that the reaction creates heat and hurts to rip off skin

Big if true

If you really want fast-drying glue magic, dust baking soda on superglue after you have it where you want it. Hardens instantly, leaving a solid that can be sanded and painted. Great for fixing cracked plastic tubs, chipped china, interior car trim, and even cracked soles of shoes.

A lot of times service workers (waitstaff, people working at shops) will use sir/ma'am. This is also regional though. Where I live, it is not as common, both because of a culture of informality and because of respect for people who do not wish to be addressed as sir/ma'am. Some places show respect through implied hierarchy, others do not.

Instead of waiting 1, 2, 6, or even 8 months to make a REAL lifestyle change on your bday or new years, I found it more helpful to just make the change.
A person will only change if they truly want to or have a REASON to. I have made small changes over time which I have been able to stick with, because I knew that I wanted to. If I chose to wait for for some specific day in the future, I may no longer be interested. Thata why people don't stick to new year's resolutions.
Sometimes, its best to start off with something slowly and increase in increments, until u are at the pace u want or visa versa, u have decreased in increments until its cut out entirely.

How kind you are😊 I understood much more than before. And Thank you so much. Especially as a language learner, I always become careful when I speak English. But many people tell me not to worry too much. I'm a little releived.

If it bothered me I wouldn't have responded the first time. :)
I'm hampered because people I usually help speak mexican spanish, I didn't know german and french had polite or professional forms until I read this thread.
What I said, hopefully clearer:
Someone, you? mentioned "sir" and war movies.
If you are an American soldier, American upper level officers are called sir. They are officially gentlemen and to be addressed as such.
Commissioned officers, commissioned has a specific meaning you don't care about right now, upper level is good enough.
I would not be surprised if the tradition was old and shared with other places, especially places they speak english.
if you watch any movies with basic military training someone will be yelled at for calling a sargent(teacher, low level officer) sir, "don't call me sir, I work for a living," They worked their way up and are too low a rank, they are not gentlemen.
if parts are still unclear tell me which and I'll try again (or yoi can ignore it, you don't care unless you're joining the miltary and they will make sure you understand if you join.)
As someone said we appreciate your efforts and respect your scholarship, but you're mostly worrying about things we don't care about. We're simple and please and thank you and a smile are probably enough.
No one has mentioned that the US is huge and the english speaking world is even bigger. Details will change. Civilized people which most of us are will give you lots of time to adapt and won't expect mastery, especially of reagonal details from a visitor or someone new to the area.

Jan 8, I have literally always done this instead of full new years resolutions anyway just cause that first week of the year is for wasting anyway, imo

I do this because my birthday is at the end of January. I start my post holiday dieting, I quit drinking for a while, I cut back on my swearing, all of the resolutions start at the end of January
