Pretty much, yeah. Unless something catastrophic happened to alter the natural state of affairs, such as another celestial object of sufficient mass colliding with Earth from the opposite direction.

'Course, if something like that were to happen, the planet's rotation slowing down would be the least of our concerns.

AGH LOW ALIGNMENT

@Stigma

Wish I did. It's not something I ever really had to work at; once I came to the realization outlined above it was as simple as flipping a switch.

I suspect disposition has a fair amount to do with it. One of my weekend pro wrestling buddies is naturally a lot more anxious than I am and he's also a news junkie who can't seem to kick the habit.

To be fair, he's also a father, which gives him a fair bit more reason to be worried about the state of things.

@Jackmoter

So @Kloi's right: she wasn't perfect, you saw the red flags but chose to ignore them because you wanted to bang her.

We've all been there, sir. No shame in making a mistake so long as you learn from it. The problem was in how you presented it.

The most pernicious lies are those we tell ourselves. Learn to spot and root those out and you'll be much better equipped to do the same with those others toss your way.

I need to give this one a watch (the video, that is). I don't expect y'all are lying but I just can't quite being myself to believe a show about a female robot isn't "secretly" all about how men are terrible for being men.

@woodsmoke

if the Earth suddenly stopped rotating

With Newton's First Law of Motion in mind, I doubt the stop would be sudden. I'd expect a gradual slowdown.

Then again, who knows?

It asserts that Earth has experienced Pole Flips in the past, and it's rotation has temporarily stopped, causing a sloshing of the Oceans.

...that's certainly one aspect of what would happen if the Earth suddenly stopped rotating.

A more complete and accurate description, as I understand it, would be to imagine every living thing on the planet driving a car down the highway at, depending on your latitude, a couple hundred to just over 1k mph and suddenly running into a reinforce concrete wall.

The only thing living in a fancy bunker is going to accomplish in such a scenario is limiting the surface area over which your remains will be spread.

Part of me is tempted to be a jackass and post the Michael Jordan meme but I'll be good.

I can't offer much more than moral support but you're getting both barrels o' that. Get the help you need, sir. We'll be here for you when you need to blow off some steam.
