Dear Teachers,

A: I've got a bike, so it doesn't take too long to go to my first class.

B: I've got a bike, too. But I haven't needed it this semester.

A: Well, this is my stop coming up. By the way I'm Bob.

B: Hi Bob, I'm Sylvilia.

- What does A mean when A says "this is my stop coming up"?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

 Stevenukd

It sounds as though he is about to get off a bus or tram.

The name says it all.

It the same as saying "we/the bus are/is approaching my stop/the place where I need to get off."

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".
