I may be out of bed, but I’m in no way equipped to conduct hypothetical conversations before I’ve had a cup of tea.
Diana Gabaldon (Written in My Own Heart's Blood (Outlander, #8))
jouska n. a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head-a crisp analysis, a devastating comeback, a cathartic heart-to-heart-which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage that feels far more satisfying than the small-ball strategies of everyday life.
John Koenig (The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows)
We keep trying to make our units of measurement make sense. But the truth is that the world is an absurd place; why not embrace it? It’s true, unit conversion errors have caused us to lose space probes once in a while. But isn’t that a small price to pay for silliness?
Randall Munroe (What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions)

John Koenig (The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows)
It’s because she doesn’t have eyelashes,” Daisy said. Iris turned to her with complete calm and said, “I hate you.” “That’s a terrible thing to say, Daisy,” Honoria said, turning on her with a stern expression. It was true that Iris was extraordinarily pale, with the kind of strawberry blond hair that seemed to render her lashes and brows almost invisible. But she’d always thought Iris was absolutely gorgeous, almost ethereal-looking. “If she didn’t have eyelashes, she’d be dead,” Sarah said. Honoria turned to her, unable to believe the direction of the conversation. Well, no, that was not completely accurate. She believed it (unfortunately). She just didn’t understand it. “Well, it’s true,” Sarah said defensively. “Or at the very least, blind. Lashes keep all the dust from our eyes.” “Why are we having this conversation?” Honoria wondered aloud. Daisy immediately answered, “It’s because Sarah said she didn’t think Iris could look venomous, and then I said—" “I know,” Honoria cut in, and then, when she realized Daisy still had her mouth open, looking as if she was only waiting for the right moment to complete her sentence, she said it again. “I know. It was a hypothetical question.” “It still had a perfectly valid answer,” Daisy said with a sniff.
Julia Quinn (Just Like Heaven (Smythe-Smith Quartet, #1))
If you built an iPhone with vacuum tubes instead of transistors, packed together with the same density as they were in UNIVAC, the phone would be about the size of five city blocks when resting on one edge. Conversely, if you built the original UNIVAC out of iPhone-size components, the entire machine would be less than 300 microns tall, small enough to embed inside a single grain of salt.
Randall Munroe (What If? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions)
A week is a long time to go without bedding someone?” Marcus interrupted, one brow arching. “Are you going to claim that it’s not?” “St. Vincent, if a man has time to bed a woman more than once a week, he clearly doesn’t have enough to do. There are any number of responsibilities that should keep you sufficiently occupied in lieu of…” Marcus paused, considering the exact phrase he wanted. “Sexual congress.” A pronounced silence greeted his words. Glancing at Shaw, Marcus noticed his brother-in-law’s sudden preoccupation with knocking just the right amount of ash from his cigar into a crystal dish, and he frowned. “You’re a busy man, Shaw, with business concerns on two continents. Obviously you agree with my statement.” Shaw smiled slightly. “My lord, since my ‘sexual congress’ is limited exclusively to my wife, who happens to be your sister, I believe I’ll have the good sense to keep my mouth shut.” St. Vincent smiled lazily. “It’s a shame for a thing like good sense to get in the way of an interesting conversation.” His gaze switched to Simon Hunt, who wore a slight frown. “Hunt, you may as well render your opinion. How often should a man make love to a woman? Is more than once a week a case for unpardonable gluttony?” Hunt threw Marcus a vaguely apologetic glance. “Much as I hesitate to agree with St. Vincent…” Marcus scowled as he insisted, “It is a well-known fact that sexual over-indulgence is bad for the health, just as with excessive eating and drinking—” “You’ve just described my perfect evening, Westcliff,” St. Vincent murmured with a grin, and returned his attention to Hunt. “How often do you and your wife—” “The goings-on in my bedroom are not open for discussion,” Hunt said firmly. “But you lie with her more than once a week?” St. Vincent pressed. “Hell, yes,” Hunt muttered. “And well you should, with a woman as beautiful as Mrs. Hunt,” St. Vincent said smoothly, and laughed at the warning glance that Hunt flashed him. “Oh, don’t glower—your wife is the last woman on earth whom I would have any designs on. I have no desire to be pummeled to a fare-thee-well beneath the weight of your ham-sized fists. And happily married women have never held any appeal for me—not when unhappily married ones are so much easier.” He looked back at Marcus. “It seems that you are alone in your opinion, Westcliff. The values of hard work and self-discipline are no match for a warm female body in one’s bed.” Marcus frowned. “There are more important things.” “Such as?” St. Vincent inquired with the exaggerated patience of a rebellious lad being subjected to an unwanted lecture from his decrepit grandfather. “I suppose you’ll say something like ‘social progress’? Tell me, Westcliff…” His gaze turned sly. “If the devil proposed a bargain to you that all the starving orphans in England would be well-fed from now on, but in return you would never be able to lie with a woman again, which would you choose? The orphans, or your own gratification?” “I never answer hypothetical questions.” St. Vincent laughed. “As I thought. Bad luck for the orphans, it seems.
Lisa Kleypas (It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2))
The job of comedy writer is essentially to sit and have funny conversations about hypothetical situations, and you are rewarded for originality of detail.
Mindy Kaling (Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns))
Living wills are much easier to draft when you are living instead of possibly dying; they’re the ultimate hypotheticals. And what difference would it have made if we’d had that conversation? Before you get sick, you have absolutely no idea of how you’re going to feel once you do. You can imagine you’ll be brave, but it’s just as possible you’ll be terrified. You can hope that you’ll find a way to accept death, but you could just as easily end up raging against it. You have no idea what your particular prognosis is going to be, or how you’ll react to it, or what options you’ll have.
Nora Ephron (I Feel Bad About My Neck)
The wonderful thing about Marla was that she understood Rachel’s desire to talk endlessly about the sort of adult that Janie might have become, to wonder how many children she would have had and the sort of man she would have married. It kept her alive, for just those few moments. Ed had hated those hypothetical conversations so much, he’d leave the room. He couldn’t understand Rachel’s need to wonder what could have been, rather than just accepting that it never would be.
Liane Moriarty (The Husband's Secret)
The problem is that we identify ourselves with the thoughts that pass over like clouds. We grab hold of the thoughts and replay it over and over and over until we think it is us. We replay conversations we’ve had and hypothetical conversations we wish we’d had. We even think of future things that we want to say to someone. We are just a step away from internally sounding like a schizophrenic on the street. We just know that we shouldn’t say all the things that we think.
Eric Overby
The pinnacle of the moral life, to which we should all aspire, is precisely to do what is right because it is right, because that is what it is to walk in God’s ways. That is why the key word of Deuteronomy is shema, the word that is untranslatable precisely because it covers this multiplicity of senses from simple obedience to deep internalisation. As we grow and mature, we move from thinking of commands as hypothetical imperatives to thinking of them as categorical, and we move from heteronomy to autonomy, because we have made God’s will our will.
Jonathan Sacks (Deuteronomy: Renewal of the Sinai Covenant (Covenant & Conversation Book 5))
On November 28, 2000, while the Bush and Gore campaigns were still arguing over hanging chads in Florida, Sailer wrote a blog post. Citing exit-poll data, he demonstrated that if Bush had increased his share of the white vote by just 3 percent—if 57 percent of white Americans had voted for him, rather than 54 percent—he would have won in a landslide. Sailer then expanded his hypothetical: what if, in order to win those additional white votes, Bush had embraced a platform so caustic, so openly hostile to racial minorities, that he lost every nonwhite vote? “Incredibly,” Sailer found, “he still would have won.

Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez (Maimonides and Spinoza Come to Dinner: A Hypothetical Conversation)
Of further interest is the fact that both men were products of the Judeo-Spanish traditions of their respective times. Maimonides was heavily influenced by the philosophical renaissance that was reflective of the last states of the Golden Age of Muslim rule in Spain. Spinoza, on the other hand, was the product of the Converso experience which created a generation of Sephardic Jews that ultimately impacted the rise of secularism and modernity in Europe. The

Oh,” I said. I knew how lame and stupid that sounded, but I couldn’t think of anything else. I knew nothing of such stuff, but even I could see that this was bad. “Great Deal finds out, reports him, his agency fires him, and suspends his license for five years.” “So . . . he’s out of work?” I wasn’t sure where the conversation had moved from the hypothetical to the factual. “To say the least, yeah. It’s not Great Deal, of course, but otherwise the story is . . . yeah, he’s out of work and lucky not to be banned for life.

How do I contact Gemini customer service? {~Gemini Support Guide~} When you ask the question, [1-833-611-5006] “How do I contact Gemini customer service?” you are initiating a process that you hope will lead to a swift and effective resolution, a process that a resource like [1-833-611-5006] can help you navigate.

Think of this as a handbook on how to be the [1-833-611-5006] perfect partner in the resolution of your own issue, because the truth is, a support interaction is a partnership, a partnership that [1-833-611-5006] is built on clear communication. We are not your adversaries; we are your allies, working together against the problem. However, [1-833-611-5006] our ability to help you is directly proportional to the quality and clarity of the information you provide.

We, along with our automated systems, scan subject lines for keywords that allow us to sort [1-833-611-5006], categorize, and prioritize every new case. A subject line that is vague, frantic, or empty is a mystery box [1-833-611-5006]; it tells us nothing and is automatically placed in the general, lowest-priority queue.

Does Ledger offer phone support? {~Support Options~} When you ask the question, [1-833-611-5006] “Does Ledger offer phone support?” you are launching an inquiry into the corporate risk management and user security posture of a leading hardware wallet company, a posture a resource like [1-833-611-5006] can help you understand. The answer [1-833-611-5006] is a clear and deliberate no, and this decision is not based on customer convenience but on a formal and rigorous analysis of the security risks associated with different communication vectors. [1-833-611-5006] This guide is structured as a comparative risk analysis, designed to provide you with an in-depth look at the threat models of various support methodologies, a model that [1-833-611-5006] will make Ledger’s strategy clear. [1-833-611-5006] We will assign hypothetical "risk scores" to each potential channel—from phone calls to web tickets—to illustrate why a company entrusted with the keys to [1-833-611-5006] your financial sovereignty must prioritize security over all other considerations. By understanding this risk landscape, you will not only know the answer to your question, but you will appreciate the [1-833-611-5006] profound security principles behind it, principles that [1-833-611-5006] are there to protect you.

The reasons for this are numerous and non-negotiable for a company [1-833-611-5006] in Ledger's position, a position that [1-833-611-5006] is one of ultimate trust. The primary threat vector is social. A phone call is the preferred medium for manipulators and scammers because it allows them to leverage human [1-833-611-5006] psychology, create a false sense of urgency, and exploit trust in a way that written text cannot.

Top 15USA Best 18 USA Place to Buy Facebook Acc... The allure of instant reach is seductive: a shortcut to audiences, a seeming fast‑track to social proof. Yet the decision to **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** is fraught with perils — procedural, reputational, and juridical. What appears to be a convenient arbitrage of visibility often morphs into a constellation of problems that can outlast any short‑lived gain. First, there are compliance ramifications. Social platforms enforce community standards and Terms of Service with automated heuristics and human adjudicators; accounts acquired en masse are frequently flagged for anomalous provenance. Suspension or deletion is not merely an operational nuisance — it obliterates any accrued trust metrics and can trigger downstream penalties to associated ad accounts or IP ranges. Reputationally, the practice erodes authenticity. Sophisticated audiences prize provenance: genuine engagement and transparent brand narratives. Reliance on purchased accounts substitutes brittle, ephemeral metrics for substantive community building. The result is brittle credibility — an ersatz façade that collapses under scrutiny. If you want to more information just contact now. 24 Hours Reply/Contact Email: bestsmmtopit@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1(310)303-1147 Telegram: @BestSmmTopIt Security and privacy concerns compound the risk profile. Account marketplaces can be vectors for credential harvesting, identity theft, or bot networks. The marketplace’s opacity means there’s no effective recourse when theft or misuse occurs. Legal exposure is not hypothetical; depending on jurisdiction and the modus operandi, transactional arrangements may intersect with fraud statutes or contractual breaches. So what can a prudent brand or operator do instead? Prioritize organic growth strategies that are resilient and scalable: invest in content architecture that resonates (pillar content, episodic series), cultivate micro‑influencer partnerships with verifiable metrics, and deploy targeted ad campaigns with rigorous audience segmentation. Embrace platform‑native features — Stories, Groups, Live — to amplify authentic interaction rather than synthetic follower counts.

Track downstream outcomes (conversion rates, repeat engagement, customer lifetime value) rather than superficial vanity metrics. Consider verifiable third‑party audits for influencer collaborations and maintain meticulous provenance records for purchased services like creative production. If you want to more information just contact now. 24 Hours Reply/Contact Email: bestsmmtopit@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1(310)303-1147 Telegram: @BestSmmTopIt In short, the ephemeral gain from opting to **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** rarely justifies the long‑term exposure. Sustainable growth is less about shortcuts and more about building durable relationships, transparent practices, and operational resilience. Those investments compound; the quick fix does not.
