What was the weardest thing which happened at your school?
The weirdest thing that happened at my school was when a group of kids decided to sneak into the gym late one night and play tag.

What does “God” conceptually mean for you?
I am a pantheist – for me God is the Universe itself. It is omnipotent because all that can happen, does happen within it. It is omniscient, because all knowledge that can exist in the Universe, is… well – in the Universe… My god is silent, deaf, unthinking, without rhyme or reason, it just is,… Continue reading What does “God” conceptually mean for you?
What was significant about the Founding Fathers of America?
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it seems that they were the first to pay so much attention to a form of democracy that featured extensive checks and balances. I mean, the ancient Greeks also had democracy, but it was very different. I think that the amendment system was a valiant attempt to create a… Continue reading What was significant about the Founding Fathers of America?
Cleaners of airplane. What are the weirdest things you have ever seen?
I’ve seen some pretty weird stuff over the years. One time I found a live mouse nestled in the back of an engine!

And then there’s the… Continue reading Cleaners of airplane. What are the weirdest things you have ever seen?
What is something that is assumed to be easy but is actually extremely high maintenance?
Having pets. You should be able to dedicate and plan your life around them. People will get a cat, dog, rabbit, hamster etc.. thinking that all they will have to do is feed them, go for a walk maybe… You will need to clean up after them, provide a good living space (which rodents don’t… Continue reading What is something that is assumed to be easy but is actually extremely high maintenance?
What’s the worst situation your social anxiety has landed you in?
I love my social anxiety, personally. The only real downside is that it causes me to be a very shy pisser and I avoid public bathrooms. I would definitely not choose to be less socially anxious by nature, as there are upsides (in my opinion) and it’s an important part of being me.
Older Redditors who chose not to have kids – did you have any regrets once it was too late?
Yes and no. Yes because i think I’m pretty cool and i think I’d have cool kids. No, because even though i hope I’ve defeated generational trauma, i almost certainly haven’t and do not want to take the chance that I’ll turn into my mother and father
What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear or think of Islam or Muslims in general?
Mohammad was a pedophile and a warlord. Like I’ve tried to morally reconcile this many times, but it’s just not possible. But many or most Muslims are actually decent people despite having a deeply corrupt religion/history – as is the case with all major religions, including Christianity. But Islam is due for a moral reckoning… Continue reading What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear or think of Islam or Muslims in general?

Which countries do you think have the greatest gap/difference between governmental actions/philosophy and the will of the majority of the people?
The UK, Russia, Iran, Israel, the US, Hungary… All of these in no particular order… Are they enacting what the people want, are they focused on doing the peoples’ wills, or are these and other governments at odds with its own people?
What are some reasons to not live?
Living can be hard and it’s natural to feel like you don’t have much of a purpose. It’s like walking up a mountain, with no end in sight.

The spiders I have to deal with are huge. Good thing I’m used to it. Fyi, my job is to burn spiders with a flamethrower.
what’s is the most overrated food?
I’d have to say sushi. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s a delicious delicacy and I love eating it. But it’s so overhyped, with people acting like it’s the only real food worth eating. It’s like the avocado toast of the seafood world – sure it tastes good, but there are so many other… Continue reading what’s is the most overrated food?

Look into the yule lads. The strangest Christmas tradition out there. It’s a bunch of Christmas dwarves I guess, among them ‘spoonlicker’ a guy who just licks spoons, ‘door slammer’ a guy who just slams doors and many more
what’s the best way to get motivation back?
Think about How you would feel What you would do … if you knew you had one day left to live. Or one hour left to live. And then remember that none of us knows when we’re going to go.

The Last of Us HBO Series
I feel like this show deserves its own thread. Who else is watching the HBO series? What are your thoughts so far?
They do not allow some people to adopt monkeys and why?
Most of them are endangered species and they’re incredibly hard to take care of. They require diets and environments that are often different and sometimes more complex than humans’, and some humans are too stupid to understand that. I mean, most humans are afraid of math; how the fuck ever could they understand the needs… Continue reading They do not allow some people to adopt monkeys and why?

A glimpse into the future shows you that the internet will cease to exist, forever, tomorrow. What do you do today?
Download my GOG library, probably snag archive copies of a couple of my favorite websites. After that move on with life. Start ordering out of physical catalogs again, subscribe to the newspaper, do my taxes on physical forms again…
As a parent what do you do when your teenager yells at you and tries to close the door in your face?
Give her time to cool off. Explain to her she has to wait – society’s not ready for her to be an adult yet. Nine times out of ten teenagers are feeling the instinct to go establish their own lives. Especially girls. Frustration erupts in strange locations but coming from this source.

Some of my favourites: Whenever I talk to you I walk away feeling smarter. You look so beautiful in this photo I almost didn’t recognise you. I admire how you can wear an outfit like that with such confidence.

What’s a piece of advice you wish you could tell your childhood self?
Even if they look cool, they are just some random guys without a life. Avoid them, they will ruin your social life.
So many Redditors correct other people’s grammar and spelling mistakes…. Why?
As someone who’s done editing for a living, I find this rude, pretentious, and totally unnecessary. Not everyone is equally skilled in these areas. Even if they were, it’s the freaking Internet—not an English paper. Who cares? As long as the point comes across, that’s all that matters.
With Biden keeping the US safe from China by shooting down the balloon, does this make Biden a bigger wartime president than Trump? Why or why not?
This isn’t a declaration of war, and it won’t lead to one. Shooting it down does provide some protection, but not much. We saw it coming. We surely hid our secrets. China didn’t get anything that would put the country in danger. And the US gets to learn all about Chinese spy balloons. It’s definitely… Continue reading With Biden keeping the US safe from China by shooting down the balloon, does this make Biden a bigger wartime president than Trump? Why or why not?

Out of the loop – what is the controversy around Hogwarts: Legacy?
As far as I know, I think it has to do with JK rowling being kind of an idiot about transgender people. So now some have the kind of narrative “if you buy the game, you support a bigot”. Personally? Don’t give two shits about harry potter, the books, the game or the movies so… Continue reading Out of the loop – what is the controversy around Hogwarts: Legacy?
What’s the best way to get over a toxic ex?
Time. It’s going to take a while. You can speed it up by avoiding alone time, and doing new things. If you spend time alone, you’re going to think about them. If you do things you used to do with them, you’re going to think about them.
What song/artist did TikTok make popular that made your inner hipster bitter?
I kinda liked that Shangri La’s song. I think the actual name is Walking In The Sand or something. I don’t even use tiktok, but the prevalence of it being reposted across social media sites still made me cringe now when I hear that “oh no, no, no” bit.

Would you consider only fans cheating if so why if no why?
I consider anything that goes two ways to be cheating. So looking at porn is not cheating since it only goes one way. Sexting or communication with someone else regarding sex is cheating. Pictures of random naked people on the internet is not cheating. Pictures of specific people on the internet you talked to is… Continue reading Would you consider only fans cheating if so why if no why?
What do you think about humans’ stand on being omnivorous, herbivores and vegan, etc.?
Biologically, we’re omnivores. Our physiology can process just about any food source, with some limits. That doesn’t mean we NEED to be omnivores. It means we can eat in a variety of different ways and still meet our dietary requirements. It is okay for us to choose to limit our diets. It is up to… Continue reading What do you think about humans’ stand on being omnivorous, herbivores and vegan, etc.?
When would be the absolute worst time to run out of gas that you can think of?
The absolute worst time to run out of gas would be when you’re in the middle of nowhere and it’s pitch black outside.

How do you unlearn internalized misogyny as a guy?
If you’re in a potentially compromising situation think, “would I accept someone talking about/treating/acting this way around my mother/sister/daughter?”. Also important to remember that men and women are equally sexual beings on average and not stigmatize female sexual relations.
Who was the biggest star of all time in human history?
I think you’re spot on with Michael Jackson. BTS is no where near as popular, and the popularity they have skews very heavily towards a young demographic. The Backstreet Boys in their hay day were far more popular than BTS and probably the next biggest “moved heaven and earth” stars after Michael Jackson.

Will oil prices grow globally in the next three months and why?
Uhhhh, yes. Whatever we do in retaliation for the balloons is gonna be tenfold (my guess is we will fly fighters in the airspace over their ocean) and from there it’s one trigger happy person and we have a war.

How do you decide whether something is better left unsaid?
Will it derail the conversation? Is it offensive to the general meter of the room? Is it a detailed answer that could easily be replaced with “yes” or “no”?

You have to pick one celebrity to be the ambassador of the arrival of aliens, who would it be?
I would pick Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He has the perfect combination of charisma and relatability to be able to connect with both humans and aliens alike.

He’s like the bouncer at your favorite bar, but… Continue reading You have to pick one celebrity to be the ambassador of the arrival of aliens, who would it be?

Which ubiquitous social convention can fuck right off?
The idea that we have to be constantly productive in order to be considered successful.

Within that… Continue reading People who randomly spit on the ground…why?
Which season you hate and why?
Winter. Growing up rurally, winter was always work. We heated with firewood, so there was always the cutting/splitting/stacking/restacking of it, we were too poor for luxuries like snow blowers, so everything was dug out by hand, and early in the morning so my parents could get to work. Snow and ice meant canceled plans and… Continue reading Which season you hate and why?
Is it possible? Communication with no signal in Airplane mode between iPhones or Apple Watches for hiking??
Ok so many times no service is quite common when hiking.

Why do women deny they have forced sex fantasies?
I’m going to ignore your ‘I’m trans’ comment. You have a penis, so you’re a fucking man.

Not everything you read on the internet is true and… Continue reading Why do women deny they have forced sex fantasies?
What makes you angry about your current Government?
Angry? It’s dumb and sad, but I am a bit amused that government policies and a large portion of the public are going along with a medical program for voluntary self-removal from earth. It sucks for them, but it’s their choice.
why can’t we adopt a little sister or parents?
Well, im pretty sure you can adopt someone as a sibling, but i can’t be bothered to double-check. As for parents, if you adopt someone technically, you become their parents, so its just how it works, i guess.

How come people think that male mental health is overlooked, when in fact, women are the ones left behind?
You are not on Reddit if you haven’t seen a post about “male mental health and how it affects men”. Well first, no one cared about anyone’s mental health until very recently.

Secondly, all I literally see is… Continue reading How come people think that male mental health is overlooked, when in fact, women are the ones left behind?

How often do men assume you want something fixed when really you wanted someone to listen?
As a hetero-male, it took me awhile to realize I should never offer women advise on how to fix a problem they’re explaining/venting to me about unless they *very specifically* ask me for a solution. So far this pattern has held up perfectly because those same women come to talk to me about problems more… Continue reading How often do men assume you want something fixed when really you wanted someone to listen?
What is wrong with China, sending such a humongous balloon to spy?
It doesn’t make any sense from a practical standpoint. Yes we’ll send something that is completely at the whims of the wind to go perform a task that has already been accomplished better with satellites.

I carry pepper spray and a knife with me everywhere but I always hear that when you really get into a bad situation people don’t have time to get their pepper spray before it’s too late.

Discussion: The friction between using an iPhone and Windows Computer
I have an iPhone. I also have a Windows PC at home and use a Windows PC at work. I use the Windows PC at work because I must, and I use the Windows PC at home because it’s a requirement for my online Business Administration Degree. Additionally, I’ve always liked Windows because it’s what… Continue reading Discussion: The friction between using an iPhone and Windows Computer
Moldova: The long and winding road to safety
Tucked away in the southeastern corner of Europe, Moldova’s winters may be drab and harsh, but the road from Ukraine’s border spools out through bare, brown hills like a ribbon of hope. To Larysa, who came from the Donetsk region of Ukraine, the silent heath means safety. It means a pause in the constant barrage… Continue reading Moldova: The long and winding road to safety
What is Barack Obama doing right now?
Probably in sweatpants, laying on the couch while the family is asleep, drinking a Bud Light, munching on a bag of sour cream and onion chips, scratching his crotch, browsing Reddit, and trying to think of a dignified answer to this post.
Photos “Sort By” order is ridiculous
Every single other application, by Apple and other developers, has the newest items at the top of a list. The only thing that doesn’t is a messaging conversation, but that makes sense with relation to the keyboard. But why on earth does Apple Photos sort with newest at the bottom, and syncing status below that.… Continue reading Photos “Sort By” order is ridiculous

What would a discussion or social site look like that is kinda like Reddit, but only allows women on it with verification? [serious]
There’s women only reddits. It can go many ways, some will be wildly transphobic with a “real women” mentality, some might just hate men, some might be built on genuine sisterhood and helping eachother. All kinds of people means all kinds of women means all kinds of potential results of an echochamber like that.

What is the point of entering into and having a long term partner, when one can’t have children?
Don’t have to keep looking for a partner. If you only see your partner as a means to reproduce that’s kinda fucked up and you should tell them so they can decide if that’s what they want in life. Some people will be down for that kind of arrangement but it seems dehumanizing to me.
For the girls, what was your experience with your first period and what happened?
I was eleven, jumping double-dutch in front of the house. Came in to use bathroom. Saw it. Told my mother. Cleaned up. She sent me to the store to get more pads.

What decent paying job can someone do right now with a high school degree and no experience other than restaurants?
Jobs are for the losers of capitalism. The vast majority of them don’t pay shit. If you want money, you gotta either find a niche to be self employed in or find a way to exploit the labor of others. Working hard as an employee is a terrible plan. Ask any sweatshop worker in the… Continue reading What decent paying job can someone do right now with a high school degree and no experience other than restaurants?

Americans and Canadians of reddit, is it true that you don’t use hair dryers? if so, how do you dry your hair in winter?
Canadian here. I don’t because my hair is short and I can effectively dry it with a towel but my wife and son with longer hair definitely do. And so do countless others. That’s a load of BS that we don’t
Men of reddit, do you guys care if a girl has body hair on their chest, stomach, back, or other places like that when you’re with her? Does it matter?
I mean like if she’s naturally hairy, but doesn’t have the money or the methods of getting it off yet, does it bother you? So many people probably want a girl who doesn’t have any hair on her whatsoever, but lots of girls are naturally hairy, but feel insecure about it.
I’m a female. Are these normal feelings for me to have as a woman?
For me, I sometimes forget the fact I wasn’t born male. My mom told me not to get pregnant and I was confused as to how this would be humanly possible until I remembered I was born female. When I had longer hair, I looked in the mirror a few times and saw myself as… Continue reading I’m a female. Are these normal feelings for me to have as a woman?

Americans, did you/would you circumcise your son and why?
I’m circumcised and glad that I am. I’m not sure if I would or not. Depends on the prevailing choice. I just don’t want him to stick out. If everyone is still circumcising, I will. If not, I won’t. When I was a kid there was only one guy that wasn’t circumcised in our group… Continue reading Americans, did you/would you circumcise your son and why?

UN rights chief appeals for Israelis and Palestinians to end ‘illogic of escalation’

Record killings in 2022 Mr. Türk reported… Continue reading UN rights chief appeals for Israelis and Palestinians to end ‘illogic of escalation’
What do you think about the Washington Redskins changing their name to Football Team then Commanders?
I think it brought about the end of western civilization. Just like letting women vote did. And letting blacks use the same bathrooms did. And letting gay people marry did. It is just another in the long list of things liberals did that destroyed civilization. For some reason we just don’t notice that civilization was… Continue reading What do you think about the Washington Redskins changing their name to Football Team then Commanders?
How come some of the most intelligent people settle for the lowliest positions?
Unless you are in the stratosphere with your intellect, networking is generally a better indicator of success, barring some extreme incompetence (although that doesn’t necessarily stop everyone). So people that have money, connections, and charisma are probably going to do better with career advancement than someone that’s typically the smartest person in the room. Plus… Continue reading How come some of the most intelligent people settle for the lowliest positions?

New HomePod available from today, online and in Apple Stores, as first orders arrive

What is the stupidest thing that you acquired because it was free on an online marketplace?
Trampoline. It’s a nice, heavy unit. I replaced the jumping pad and springs so it is just like new. The kids used it a few times and never went back to it.

I’m wondering how quickly I would collapse without the invention of man to have warmth, I have no natural defense mechanisms nor ways to find food and water if all of society were to disappear. I have no survival skills or ability to face sustained lengths of severe discomfort.
Apple Pay to Launch in South Korea This Year Following Regulator Approval

What’s illegal but should be legal?
Controversial, but having the option to end your own life legally. Specifically if you’re really sick, in a lot of pain, and are bound to die soonish. It’s really sad seeing people in those situations. I feel like they should have the option of ending their own pain.
Americans who have been to other countries, what is an infuriating misconception we have about that country?
Because I always love to answer my own questions, mine would be this. It’s more about the whole continent than the country, but it’s in the same spirit.

Yes, it was cool, yes, they had… Continue reading Americans who have been to other countries, what is an infuriating misconception we have about that country?

Not quite exactly what you’re asking for but in Pink Floyd’s “great gig in the sky” the woman’s voice near the end does NOT say “if you hear whispering, you’re dying”, nor is she herself whispering.

I knew I was in love with my partner when I started to look at them differently than anyone else.

How has not dating in your teens changed your perception for relationships later?
I had time to consider what sort of relationship I wanted, and what sort of partner I’d be. There was a lot of self consideration, and development.

Spoken up earlier, even if the result wasn’t what I wanted. Agonizing and pining over someone and being unwilling to face rejection just puts you in romance purgatory.

I should… Continue reading What regrets do you have with past loves or crushes? What would you have done differently?
Men of reddit why would you continue a “relationship” with someone when you don’t want to end up with them?
My experience was that she would hurt herself and threaten suicide whenever I tried to break up, so it was hard to leave. Another instance was that it was kind of just a “I’m used to this life” thing and it wasn’t great but it also wasn’t bad.
Tim Cook on the possibility of Apple layoffs: ‘A last resort kind of thing’
I love how these companies act like they NEED to lay people off. Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc… has billions of dollars in the bank just sitting there. Paying employees for a few years isn’t going to break the bank for them. Twitter is probably the only company here that wasn’t making any money.

The idea that men are naturally polygamorous and women are naturally hypergamous is a stereotype that has been widely discredited by social scientists and evolutionary biologists. Humans are highly complex and individualistic beings, and it is not accurate or productive to make sweeping generalizations about the entire gender. Both men and women have the capacity… Continue reading Men are polygamy by nature and women are hypergamy by nature. What do you think?
What are good ways to break spending habits?
Take the money you’re planning to spend and put it in a savings account instead. Promise yourself if in six week, you still want whatever you were going to buy, you’ll buy it then.

Why did you feel the need to answer a question that wasn’t asked of you?
Because I come from a long line of teachers and I physically cannot stop myself from explaining how things work when people ask (even rhetorically) in my general vicinity. I love the world we’re in, and I’m endlessly fascinated by how things work and I compulsively share that fascination with people.
When is it totally justified to turn something from a verbal confrontation to a physical one?
Never. If the other person/people start throwing hands first, you have every right to defend yourself/fight back/retain them, whichever side of the argument you’re on. However, any intelligent conversation/debate/conflict ideally, should never result in violence. Everyone is just going to have to sit down and talk it through like mature adults eventually, anyway.

Apple Is Dropping Industrial Design Chief Role in Post-Jony Ive Era
This is part of something that was an inevitability once Jobs died. Tim Cook, for all of Apple’s success under his tenure, is a bean counter. Jeff Williams, the heir-apparent, is also a bean counter. The people driving the most growth at Apple are bean counters in Services. We’re still coasting on that tradition of… Continue reading Apple Is Dropping Industrial Design Chief Role in Post-Jony Ive Era

Apple to eliminate ‘industrial design chief’ position; team will now report to COO Jeff Williams

Depends on what and why. They’ve had some slight work to make themselves feel better, no issue. They needed something to help with a medical issue, ok sweet.

How mind-blown would you be in the very moment you discovered that your last eight years were just as good as you being dead because schizophrenia took over for that time?
Your question doesn’t make sense. My perception of reality may be completely unaligned with the nature of that reality, but they are still perceptions, none-the-less. This is not the same thing as being “as good as dead”. There is no experience in the void.

Not a teacher BUT it’s worth remembering that the referees don’t notice the initial offense…they just see the retaliation. And since they didn’t see it, they often can’t do anything because it’s technically hearsay. Bullying is often subtle.

Chiropractors. Atleast the others are mostly harmless, these guys don’t do shit and if anything can harm or worse case paralyse you.

If a human hand were amputated with the sharpest surgical tools in existence and then was immediately reattached by clinicians trained in the most sophistocated techniques currently available, what would the result be?
Most likely, the hand could be reattached (not a guarantee, mind you!) and the owner of the hand would retain some or all of the function of the hand.

I’d say it started to become less important around the industrial revolution.

But as machines and technology began to take over more of the manual… Continue reading At what point in history did physical competence stop being the most important thing that determines one’s life?

Instead there was nothing but butterflies and excited nerves. On the plane ride there I felt like my life was… Continue reading What is your moment of pure “I am so in love with this person” ?
Who do people still try and use “draft dodger” as an insult?
Wow, that’s an interesting question! We’re not sure why people still try to use “draft dodger” as an insult, but it’s probably because of the negative connotations associated with avoiding military service. We can all agree that everyone should have the right to choose their own path in life and not be judged for it.

do plastic applicator tampons hurt less?
For me, it was super difficult to insert tampons in the beginning. Using the applicator definitely eased the process – nowadays I can do it without but in my experience, I think it had something to do with the dryness/getting a feel for it. Fingers and the applicator don’t hurt. The tampon doesn’t hurt me… Continue reading do plastic applicator tampons hurt less?
Americans of Reddit: Do you both tumble dry and use fabric softener? If so, why are you using both?
I just learned that drying clothes on lines outside is frowned upon in parts of the US of A, but as far as I know, fabric softener is used extensively in the US of A. So I was wondering about the reason.
what is the silliest thing you are willing to argue about?

What causes fat forearms at very low weight?
They could have a physical job that uses their grip a lot. I did landscaping for two years and my forearms got jacked.

My first few months on the job my… Continue reading What causes fat forearms at very low weight?
What movie did you not expect to have a disturbing scene in it and has kept you from watching said movie to this day?
Mine is Cold Mountain. When they are torturing the mother by crushing her fingers under the fence then shoot both her sons who come to her aid. Every single angle and element of this scene breeds hopelessness and a deficit of empathy and humanity. The sons have to endure her suffering then she has to… Continue reading What movie did you not expect to have a disturbing scene in it and has kept you from watching said movie to this day?
Question about phone chargers: what makes a phone charger bad is it the material ??
Not necessarily! A bad phone charger can be caused by a number of factors, including poor quality materials, faulty wiring, or even incompatible charging technology. It’s best to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and make sure you’re using the right charger for your device.
What are some common mistakes people make after buying their first home?
Immediately rushing to buy new things to fill it. You just spent a big chunk on a down payment.

You can last a few weeks with some… Continue reading What are some common mistakes people make after buying their first home?
What’s something a flight attendant did to you that you will never forget?
I was on an Air New Zealand flight from LA to Auckland. I was with my one year old daughter, who was an “in-lap-infant”. My seat was in business class in the bulkhead seat.

I… Continue reading What’s something a flight attendant did to you that you will never forget?

Super markets. Not because there’s food or water there. But because they have everything I need at one location.

Do you think it makes sense to thank God for your accomplishments/successes? Why or why not?
I thank Me. I am the one that made this happen for me. No one gave me an inch in this life. I have never taken from anyone, just given. I have only experience extreme loss. Yet the Universe seems fit to constantly show me exactly how much it wants my end. If there was… Continue reading Do you think it makes sense to thank God for your accomplishments/successes?

anyone have tips on gaining weight and how to maintain it for someone with a high metabolism?
Do you really need someone to tell you to expend less calories than you take it by a large margin and eat a horrible diet of pizza, cake, chips, fast-food, etc? This physically pains me. You’re asking how people get fat?
Should elementary students be taught math or other courses, if not then what should they be taught?
Yes, but they should be taught it in a way that is appropriate to their age and ability to learn. A high school student’s math course is going to a completely different than an elementary school students math course. Not just in content, but in approach, type of lessons, length of lessons, reinforcement work, etc.… Continue reading Should elementary students be taught math or other courses, if not then what should they be taught?
What’s up with people who speak endlessly and dominate meetings and conversations?
Sometimes it is insecurity. They don’t want to stop talking or else someone will counter their point and they know they won’t respond well. Still, they have to be present, look informed and useful. Making succinct points and listening does that. Maybe they need to have that reinforced in a friendly way.
People that don’t have bidets, why do you hate your posterior?
Woah, I’m just lazy. I got to pay to then have a weekend project? No thanks man. Actually one of the recent ones we saw we needed an outlet.

However, quick chat with my dad and he was like, “might have to remove… Continue reading People that don’t have bidets, why do you hate your posterior?
Shoes no longer exist. What is the new purpose of shoe laces?
Well technically shoelaces are just a name. I think it could be called laces as well since there are shoelaces on winter boots but we don’t call them bootlaces, we usually say “hey tie your boots” or “your laces are undone” so I think the “shoe” part of the word is interchangeable
What do you guys think of history should be forgotten and erased?
We don’t believe that history should be forgotten or erased. History is an important part of our past and provides valuable lessons for the future. We think that it’s important to reflect on the past, learn from it, and move forward in a positive direction.
For each genre of music, what artist or song do you think captures what it’s all about?
I think “Raider’s March” or “Hedwig’s Theme” capture the movie composition genre perfectly. The goal of a movie song, I’d say, is, beyond making you feel something (which all music does), to put you there, in the movie. Just hearing the horns of “Raider’s March” or heck, the Star Wars theme, puts me there. John… Continue reading For each genre of music, what artist or song do you think captures what it’s all about?
Why doesn’t apple make all products start with an “i”?
iPhone, iPad, iMac These are all (relatively) old. Apple hasn’t introduced a new product with the i prefix in a while. I think it was because they found they couldn’t stop other companies from using the i in front of product names but they can stop people using “Apple”, so they started naming their products… Continue reading Why doesn’t apple make all products start with an “i”?
What do you think about Austria?
Seems a great country. Beautiful countryside, and I loved Vienna. Doesn’t Vienna always come near the top of best places to live in the world? Also, I’ll like any country that drinks that much beer, eats that many cakes/pastries, and has an affinity for deep fried meats and stews. My kind of diet.
What was the moment that you decided you needed to change?
When my neighbour, who was a friend, told me she could hear me screaming at my (young) children from her place. I was horrified, I didn’t want to turn into my mother. So I did some parenting courses to help me do better. Best thing I ever did.
Is being too confident a mistake? Why?
Depending on the situation it can lead to social missteps or even death. “Death?” You say? Yes. If someone is too confident and is working with dangerous machinery or other dangerous stuff it can cause them to make a mistake that could potentially get someone hurt or killed.
What do you think the world would be like if people could merge their memories and skills?
One day if I’m tired of it all, instead of death, I’d go memorise the most terrifying, traumatic stuff I possibly can and then forcefully merge with my greatest enemy. They will be forced to live with the incomprehensible horrors.
What makes the phrase “make me” so hot?
It’s not my thing. However, I could see how it would do it for some. There must be a decent release of some endorphins or some kind of chemicals in the brains of certain personality types who are enticed by challenges. Anyway, this is merely a guess on my part, so take what I’m saying… Continue reading What makes the phrase “make me” so hot?

So my grandmother had SO MUCH STUFF for such a small place. Literally a one bedroom apartment, it took myself, my sisters, my cousin, my mom and my aunt three trips to clear everything out.

People who used to be addicted to a substance, what was the experience like and how well are you doing today?
Didn’t even really realize it when I was mid-addiction. When you’re in it, it’s just normal day to day life, at least for me. It wasn’t until I slowed down and eventually quit/realized I was destroying my body and my life that I looked back and fully understood how reliant I was.
Do you shower in the morning, at night, or both? Why?
Depends. If I work from home, usually in the morning because I’ll workout then. If I don’t workout, then night. If I work at the office, always at night, because going through the city and public transport is just gross and I refuse to bring that to bed. If I work at the office and… Continue reading Do you shower in the morning, at night, or both? Why?

How is communication through Reddit different compared to other social media apps?

As an european who doesn’t really eats a lot of meat I’m curious as to what’s the thing about “well done”? Where’s the problem with it? Cause the only people I ever hear talking bad about it are amercians, so is it just an amercian thing or not?
If you like well done, by all means go for it, but I find it way too dry. There`s hardly any juices left at that point and you`ve rendered most of the fat, removing both flavor and a good texture. I`m not American.

Will humanity ever get the point of not murdering one another and why?
I don’t think so. It’s in our nature. Even if, say, we reach global peace and there are no more wars, there is just this feeling sometimes when someone angers you so much that you want to kill them. Most modern day people can keep that in check but there are some that don’t. Also… Continue reading Will humanity ever get the point of not murdering one another and why?
Is getting into a polyamorous relationship because you want variety and to have kids with multiple people an ok reason to be poly and why?
Well are you truly poly? Reasoning if it’s fine or not doesn’t matter..but rather asking yourself: will it work?

When they are in early elementary school, you have to be friends with everyone. I drove school bus and explained to them that that is not true.

What do you think about vegans and veganism in general?
Do whatever you want but you have to understand that you are not somehow absolved of the agricultural industry’s issues.

A lot of businesses pass the rising costs a few different ways, they’ll charge more to their customers, they’ll not give as many raises, bonuses or benefits to their current employees and they’ll look at other ways to save money, maybe trim non essential staff, lower the quality or expand/reduce hours.

New California law
CA now has transparency in pay for job postings. Good! We also passed a law years ago for equivalency in pay for the same jobs. Later, we disallowed companies from asking about prior salary.

What to keep in mind(rules, precautions, boundaries kind of stuff) while having a fwb with someone?
Set clear boundaries. Friends with benefits are not a closed relationship.

Thw… Continue reading What to keep in mind(rules, precautions, boundaries kind of stuff) while having a fwb with someone?

Why doesn’t the U.S have free health care yet?
Because it’s easier to control such a massive amount of people if they’re all paranoid (news media), sick and massively in debt.

Like caring about your fellow man and everyone giving a little bit to help the greater good is… Continue reading Why doesn’t the U.S have free health care yet?

Nothing. They may be a good friend to that person, even if they were not a good friend to you. You simply don’t know. If you must say anything, leave it at, “We don’t get on,” and move on from it.

Is it better to be misinformed or uniformed? Why?
Uninformed people technically have no way of knowing something unless they are exposed to it. Misinformed people are exposed to information, but it’s not correct information.

What is something you can share about a specific job or experience that will greatly assist a newcomer?
If ever you work in tech support for an ISP, stick to the simplest troubleshooting methods. Many times I got sidetracked trying to diagnose a problem, thinking of all the possible complications, when a simple reboot did the trick most of the time.
If you hadn’t made the choice to go through those doors, how different would your life be right now?
If I had gone through those doors, I would’ve witness my best friend being euthanized. Because of covid, they wouldn’t allow more than two people inside the vet.

Is there an iPhone keyboard like Android’s GBoard?
I switched from an Android to an iPhone and I’m happy about it. But I sorely miss GBoard on Android. I realise there’s an iOS GBoard but it’s much worse.

Girls who attracted to fuckboys, why?
I think it’s because it’s a combination of the thrill of the chase and feeling valued when they finally show some attention. Plus, it can be tempting to think that you can change someone, even if deep down you know it’s not likely to happen.
What are the red flags about co-workers that people usually don’t know about?
“Favors” quickly become “expectations” in the workplace. Establish boundaries early, help when you can but shut it down when the required help becomes consistent. It’s much easier to never give an inch than it is to reclaim a mile.
At what point in technological advancement will the ink-pen industry feel threatened?
Pens will exist, whether they take the shape of a regular pen or a stylus on a tab.

Are most men unhappy in their marriages??
I think most men lack emotional intelligence (mostly due to toxic masculinity and the media they consume) and instead of trying to feed their core need by investing in their relationship, marriage and family when hardships come, they search for easy distraction.

What is the one thing in your house that you clean that your family members don’t even realize gets dirty?
For me it is the little cutting wheels on the can opener. We don’t run it through the dishwasher and they eventually end up with nasty bits crusted up around the cutting mechanism.

What are your parents-progressive Or conservative?
My dad was from the Westernlands, so he was very socially conservative and I believe – for a brief period he was a monarchist, too.

Ever since I remember, politically, they’ve been… Continue reading What are your parents-progressive Or conservative?
