It's too vague a question to answer easily. I'd need specific scenarios because the tell and the tipping point might be different in different scenarios. There might be a pattern, but you'd only see it with multiple scenarios about the same person, and even then, there might be some details you're not privy to that would otherwise change your perspective. It's also entirely possible for a person to be right some of the time, but to fight regardless of whether they are or not.

The problem with the golden rule is that different people want to be treated differently, so they may treat you how they want to be treated but not how you want to be treated, and vice versa.

Maybe when you're struggling with an issue, you want to be left alone to figure it out by yourself, but your friend in the same scenario would want someone to start doing anything to help out and insisting on troubleshooting the issue together. So your friend ends up frustrating you by offering to help too much when you just want to be left alone and then when they're struggling, they get upset that you leave them alone to deal with it.

So communication is important. Ask people how they'd like to be treated rather than just assuming they'd want to be treated the way you want to be treated and be honest with them about how you'd like to be treated.

Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.

I'm disappointed that no one responded to you with YTA or NTA.

I'd recommend delaying quest competition and just go wandering around town and find some fights to get into, get some leveling done, and upgrade your equipment. I find the open world to be more interesting than most quest plots.

Mod-friendly games with large mod communities like Skyrim or Mount and Blade 2. The ability to play a game like Skyrim in completely different ways keeps it fresh.

As smoke drifts off the thusly smote corpse of the aforementioned villain, a whispy shade materializes over the body and resumes where the villain left off, stating: "...and so you will never find the mystical orb of Theremas in the dark tower of Zyyzaxes, beyond the fire jungles of Lardamas, near the equally dreadful pits of awkward socialization, just short of the black cave of high school reunions!"

Depends on the stores these days, in my experience. Some stores are scheduling fewer cashiers after installing more self checkout lanes and have removed signage about item limits in self checkout. If you want a human cashier, you have to wait a while because there might only be one on shift so you get a line.

It's great for classic films noir.

If any nuclear attack would be met with a counter attack using nukes, the whole world would suffer from the fallout that wouldn't be contained only within the national boundaries of the countries that get nuked.
