When you have a job, is it then necessary to answer your phone during your free time?
No. Not for me. But it depends on the job. Do they compensate you for being “on call” during your off hours? Did they give you a company phone for this reason? Did they set that requirement in your work contract or employment docs? If the answer to the above is “no” then there you… Continue reading When you have a job, is it then necessary to answer your phone during your free time?

Be yourself and do the things that you like to do. If you do that, you’ll probably meet someone else who is being themselves and doing what they like to do. Then if you’re together, you both know the real self from the other person, and you’re both into doing the same things.

What is something that changed your life forever but seems insignificant/random to others?
CBD. It’s helped my anxiety more than any antidepressant ever could. I can’t do THC because it makes me paranoid. None of it matters. People just think “pothead.”
What’s the most fucked up thing anyone has ever said to you?
The question came to me because of something someone messaged me on Reddit. I was discussing writing erotic fiction for someone and the person was detailing how they saw the story going.

What’s the biggest tell that you’re looking at a very selfish and inconsiderate person?
They justify their decisions by stating that what they are doing is legal instead of having an ethical or moral defense of their actions. I.E.

the Catholics vs Protestants thing. Genuinely have never met someone who gives a damn about that drama in the modern age. During The Troubles in Ireland, sure, and some people in Ireland now still feel a certain way. But I don’t know anyone who gives a rats ass about that now who isn’t Irish.
Religious people, with all due respect, why do you care about anything that is mundane if you already choose the afterlife?

I rarely get angry, but when I do it’s when people refuse to actually think stuff through and just spew whatever information other sources fed them.

What is your favourite arc in any show ever?
Honestly, I love the Shoshana arc in girls. Second to last episode really showcases her growth. Don’t wanna spoil it just in case, but definitely solid writing and character development. Then, I’d have to say Peggy and Joan’s arc on Mad Men, respectively.
What is normal in your life that others would find weird if they knew?
I tend to just be by myself all alone but not feel lonely or feel like I need others to make me happy. It’s weird cause this makes it so that I don’t talk to friends for months and then they think I don’t want to but for real I just forgot that they exist.

Writers on days where you feel you’re not “In the Zone” will you write anyways or no?
i used to try to, but i’d end up with very little progress and it wouldn’t be up to the standard i usually wrote at and id end up scrapping it all because i’d hate it. now, i wait until i feel like writing to do it, because without that motivation, i don’t produce anything… Continue reading Writers on days where you feel you’re not “In the Zone” will you write anyways or no?

Do you personally think the earth is in danger from human created climate change? Why or why not?
This is tricky question. I feel like the answer is yes but we are nowhere near an immediate problem or any kind of issue you would call a crisis.

I don’t particularly trust and if… Continue reading Do you personally think the earth is in danger from human created climate change? Why or why not?
If a study was done that determined the top reason why people become homeless, what would the reason be?
Multiple studies have been done on this. I have been homeless, and subsequently worked for homeless organizations. I should say I haven’t a perfect grasp of things, but maybe better than average. And the statistics out there are, in my own experience, mainly true.

What are chemtrails exactly and are they seen in every country?
Contrails or vapour trails are the more technical term. Fitting as while water, mostly what they are, is technically a “chemical,” people don’t usually call water as such.

They are seen… Continue reading What are chemtrails exactly and are they seen in every country?
What is something scientifically moot that is still in practice?
I feel like i may be misinterpreting your meaning or you may misused “moot” But i’ll go with people believing that orange juice helps with curing the cold/flu.

In reality you only need to… Continue reading What is something scientifically moot that is still in practice?

How do you make egg drop soup taste like the Chinese restaurants do!?
Don’t be scared to use a lot of cornstarch, or the texture won’t be right, and don’t skip the MSG. If you don’t have any, buy some (it’s cheap) and start putting it in practically everything that’s not dessert.

If we received stats at the end of our life, which one would blow your mind the most?
The amount of times I lied. I try to be a very honest person, without the brutality, but I bet sugar coating things still counts. I am still brutally honest, but even then, I wonder if I’m just being mean, or honest.

Hey Reddit what’s your craziest spooky/glitch in the matrix story?
It’s a tame story unless you witnessed it, the sort of thing people dismiss out of hand and refuse to contemplate in-depth.

The glass fogged up as… Continue reading Hey Reddit what’s your craziest spooky/glitch in the matrix story?

What’s an interesting space fact?
The Webb telescope just photographed objects in galaxies that are so far away, they should not exist as they are.

Do you consider Elon Musk a genius of our time? why or why not?
He’s proficient with understanding enough technology to get a sense of logistics. He’s good at selling a vision. He’s not Tony Stark. He’s a arguably good project manager.

Why do you keep your dealership license plate frame on?
I’ve always wondered why some individuals do this. I see some beautiful cars with those hideous dealer Ads around the license plate. I always chalked it up to laziness, or perhaps they appreciate the “free” license plate bracket.
What is the current controversy in your hobby?
Whether or not compound bows should be allowed in competitions normally reserved for traditional bows.

What’s the first thing you want to do when you become rich?
Secure my future, then find ways to reduce taxable income with immediate business investments. Invest in business that’s not even profitable but is your passion.

What’s an example of past technology being more efficient than what we currently use?
Pencil/pen and paper to take down notes versus an app on your phone. The paper is immediately available, and as long as you’re careful, it’ll be around. It takes longer to open an app and start up a new note, and then you drop your phone or your phone resets and it’s gone.
What do you think of public “prank” videos?
If it’s scripted but intended to look real, then whatever. “Reality TV” is not my jam, but different strokes for different folks.

Utterly… Continue reading What do you think of public “prank” videos?

People who suffered from insomnia for more than two months, can you please share positive stories of how it got better?
It’s difficult, I won’t lie. For me, the hardest part was the inconsistency; I never felt settled after I headed into my bedroom.

What is the overall outcome if the black and blue or white and gold shirt controversy?
the actual dress was black and blue, it’s just the lighting and shitty quality of the photo playing tricks on your perception of it.

What was one event that made you realize that life is too short to be living in the past/regrets?
I realize this more the older I get, and I know I only have so much time to spend with the people I love. It’s sad to think about, but it helps me remember what matters. People spend too much time being angry, but life’s just too short.

My carpenter aunt, determined to build the ultimate treehouse for her kids, spent months secretly working on the project.

What is it like to be ugly?
If I wasn’t, I’d do whatever I could to be as ugly as possible. People aren’t beautiful things and I refuse to make looking at me a pleasant experience for anyone superficial enough to care what I look like.
So, um, those of you who are on the higher side of a weight scale, does it hurt when your own family thinks your ugly?
A lot.It destroyed my confidence, but I started to realise that working on myself and the way I perceive myself helps much more than anything other can do.When you listen to others is to share joy, not to be let down, criticism is important and we need to understand it, but there is a line.Never… Continue reading So, um, those of you who are on the higher side of a weight scale, does it hurt when your own family thinks your ugly?

People who have met Steven Seagal, is it true that he’s a real douche?
It’s pretty much a fact that he’s more or less bullshat his way through his entire life and is the most egomaniacal douche to ever walk the earth. Just look at his list of sexual assault allegations to see he’s not used to being denied what he wants. The only real things he’s ever done… Continue reading People who have met Steven Seagal, is it true that he’s a real douche?
What is a sign that someone considers themselves much smarter than they actually are?
I hate this. Some people are so good at transitioning into the one-ups, that you hardly even notice. I watched the first half of American Psycho the other day for the first time, and I noticed that’s what triggered Patrick Baitman every time, so be careful who you do that to.
Where would you go if money want an option?
Buy a house in the country in the middle of nowhere away from everyone, get some animals, grow my own veg, would be perfect
Which philosopher was overrated and probably wrong according to you?
Personally, I think Jean-Jacques Rousseau is overrated. I mean, sure, his ideas about the social contract were influential in shaping modern political theory, but I think his emphasis on the “noble savage” and his romanticization of pre-modern society were misguided. Plus, his views on gender roles and education were pretty outdated, even for his time.
What’s the sexiest thing someone has ever said to you?
Me personally, a few weeks ago me and my fiance went out with friends for bevs and I told him at the outset I was going to drink a little more than usual and he was fine with that.

Will chat GPT and AI like it make universities and public education obsolete? Why or why not?
AI ain’t gonna replace us anytime soon, you feel me? We still gotta lot to offer, like our creativity, empathy, and that certain je ne sais quoi that machines just can’t replicate. That being said, AI is definitely making its mark on education. It’s already being used in classrooms to help students learn more efficiently,… Continue reading Will chat GPT and AI like it make universities and public education obsolete? Why or why not?

Why infamous personalities are always expected to be perfect?
Two things : this is indeed a good question you’re probably an actor who was criticised because of their recent actions. Just like any of us, actors can have bad days as well… people should think before judging a person just because they’re on a bigger stage than they are. Anyone can have rough patches;… Continue reading Why infamous personalities are always expected to be perfect?
What crazy thing did you believe as a kid?
That you could write a check and just get “free” money. My mom would go through the drive through at the bank each week and write a check for “cash” to get her weekly spending money.

Panic attacks. How do you know if they’re coming, how do you calm yourself, or how do you comfort others suffering one?
It all lies in the breath. The mind is the body and the body is the mind. They communicate with each other. During a panic attack, you experience fast breathing, muscle tension, pacing, etc. so the antidote to that is to slow your breathing, release the muscle tension, and stay in place. It’s very hard… Continue reading Panic attacks. How do you know if they’re coming, how do you calm yourself, or how do you comfort others suffering one?

Big Bang Theory. I love science, love nerdy shit, I’ve watched a few episodes here and there, and I have never laughed once. It’s like anti-comedy.

What is your biggest regret in life; something that doesn’t let you have a semblance of peace and happiness ever?
I know what brings me happiness, real joy. I know the job, or rather the activity for which I was created. And I can’t do that in a normal society.

You will NEVER be… Continue reading What is your biggest regret in life; something that doesn’t let you have a semblance of peace and happiness ever?
When you experience tinnitus, how do you manage it?
I’ve had it since before I can remember. Since I was a little kid at least. It was likely due to frequent ear infections as a kid, but really don’t know for sure.

What is it with all the clickbait articles these days?
I guess there’s so much availability of news everywhere and lack of interest of real news due to the dumb-fuck social media mentality that promotes echo chambers, so news publications are losing profits and have to do whatever it takes to get clicks and make money. It’s basically just a reflection of the ridiculous societies… Continue reading What is it with all the clickbait articles these days?

How would you go about starting a food bank within a low income area?
Volunteer/work at an existing food bank, even if it’s not in the area that you want to serve, and tell the people in charge there your intentions. They would probably be motivated to help you set it up, if you’re dependable and good to work with.
What’s Something you Think goes Too Far?
Password security. In order to create an account to access an online training module I have to create a password.

What is the nicest thing you have done, or had a stranger do for you?
I used to be addicted to Adderall, among many other things. I found some trail running – a full script fell out of someone’s pocket.

How does one let themselves be vulnerable in friendships?
Fall asleep first at the sleep over. Sure you might get farted on in your sleep, but you made yourself vulnerable like you wanted.
Vampires are superior to ordinary humans in most ways so why haven’t they taken over the world in books, movies, etc?
Depending upon the type we’re talking about, they often come with built in Achille’s Heels which make them extremely vulnerable when exposed. Their dominance, like many predators, relies on their ability to maintain stealth, and to ambush.
What irritates you about movies and shows?
There’s no creativity. Everything is a reboot, remake, or an intellectual property franchise. The entertainment industry has found a template of safety where they know they won’t drown just by sticking to the formula. I miss weird and innovative shit.

My ex irritated for some reason not involving me. Not mad, not happy, just frustratingly inconvenienced. That would be enough.
What is our value as human beings?
That’s a weird way to think of it. If you mean in dollars, we’re the most valuable thing in the universe. Think in terms of rarity. As far as we know, life only exists on Earth, and of all that life, only we can do the strange things we do.
People who have been in a fight, why?

People who use “ad homenim” regularly. Why?
The people who say the term are currently taking their first philosophy or debate course. The people who regularly insult others during arguments don’t give a fuck because real life isn’t a formal debate and the rules don’t have any bite behind them.
What’s something you noticed that you never saw before when a movie or TV show was remastered/upscaled?
Star Trek: TNG, Data’s eyes, and Brent Spiner’s makeup. Strangely, I didn’t realize that Data’s eyes were yellow until I saw the remastered HD series. It also makes it a lot more obvious that Brent is wearing makeup, and you can sometimes see where it ends or wasn’t blended properly.
What are some of your favorite subreddits that have no glaring flaws with the community there?

What’s one thing you consistently do or have done that isn’t necessarily toxic, but could be considered “wasted energy”?
For me it’s saving links on social media or my browsers and YouTube videos to watch later that I literally never come back to. I obviously intend to, but for the most part there’s some stuff I’ve had saved for years now that I’ve yet to revisit.

Why was the universe created?
Well, first of all, sorry for my english as I’m not a native speaker. My question is not about what created the universe, but… What is the point of it?

If you were married to an actor/actress how would you feel about them kissing someone for a movie?
Obviously we’d have the discussion first but as long as they don’t catch feelings for their co-star (which happens a lot apparently), then it’s okay since I’d have them at home. Sex scenes are another beast though…
What’s the poorest thing you had to do?
What sort of a question is that??? Do you have a sliding scale that shows an activity, and it’s relation to how much money you have? Once sucked the piss out of a dead tramps kidney, as I didn’t have the money to go to the bar.
Why smoking continues to be considered attractive?
I was asking because I heard a lot of people saying it’s sexy. I thought it could be because it’s associated with rebellion, danger etc… plus you hold something in your mouth… and do some sensual gestures. Was curious what other people think.

What are your immediate thoughts when you hear a woman refer to herself as a”Queen”?
Margaret Thatcher is credited with saying “Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.” If a woman calls herself a “queen”, it’s like guys that say they’re “Alpha”, they are not; they are making up for insecurities.

James K. Polk, accomplished his goals within one term – annexing Texas, settling the Oregon boundary, and reducing tariffs.
Why do you think Reddit is so liberal?
I don’t know about them being more liberal fiscally but socially, conservatism is a relic. Social conservatism has only ever had two real world outcomes: the removal of personal freedoms and the harrasment of tax paying citizens No shit the generations with the most access to information ever are moving in the opposite direction
People of Reddit, what was the worst pick-up line someone has ever used on you?

What is the biggest individual traumatic event you think could happen to you and do you think you would survive it?
I guess the single biggest traumatic event that would be in the realm of possibility would be to get crushed by a vehicle I’m working under, but not have it kill me instantly, just crush the lower half of my body up to about my chest area. The weight of the vehicle would stop me… Continue reading What is the biggest individual traumatic event you think could happen to you and do you think you would survive it?
What’s scarier: living or dying?
Oh dude dying. I had my heart stop for awhile, long enough that I was in danger of brain trauma after rescuscitation. There simply is no other side. Once those neurons stop firing you are gone. Live while you have a chance to live, you don’t get a second shot.
You just won a billion dollar, what’s your next move?
The first thing I’d do is move back to Southern California, on or near a beach. San Diego, Santa Monica, Malibu or Oceanside (my hometown). Give some to my mom, my sister and my friend. Open a nightclub. Donate. Help those in need. Travel the world.
What is your best story involving a public bathroom?
I was a little kid at the public library and really needed to poop. There was a strange man hanging out in there all by himself and wouldn’t leave, so I pooped my pants. I got yelled at and shamed on the ride home. Not a great story, but what do you want?
What are pros and cons of Portland? Is the government shitty? Worht living there?
Assuming you’re talking about Portland, OR, the city itself is definitely in a rough condition, but the state is beautiful and there are some pleasant suburbs outside of the city anyway that are much nicer.

When someone says thank you, do you say you’re welcome? If not, why not?
I tend to say “of course”. “You’re welcome” has recently become less in style, is some people think it has negative undertones in some situations. Like “Yeah, you should be thankful.” Context matters a lot ofc.
What is the best fast food sandwich? Why? Any alterations?
i’ll die on this hill, the best fast food burger is the plain (as in nothing accept the cheese, patties, and buns) mcdonald’s triple cheeseburgers. that will be my ironic punishment in hell, just an eternity of being force-fed plain triples, and i am down for it.
What is the most unique or unusual hobby or interest that you have? How did you get into it?
Arranging flowers I guess. I don’t like growing them, I just like putting them in vases. Making the different colors and varieties fit together is really satisfying. I had to put together some vases for a fancy dinner once and ever since then I’ve gotten into it
Why do you think people dislike Ayn Rand?
People may dislike Ayn Rand due to her advocacy of individualism, her perceived lack of concern for others, her one-dimensional characters and writing style, and her political and economic views that some see as unrealistic and oversimplified.
What is the strangest thing that happened to you at a sleepover?
My one friend had me over for a sleepover a while ago. I got there and her mom let me in, at which point I saw my friend wearing a literal straightjacket on her couch.

To what extent is the concept of morality shaped by objective or subjective factors?
Morality is entirely subjective to the human agenda and does not have any objective factor, at all. If eating children was something our society was fond of, it would be morally okay to do it, and the same goes for absolutely anything, as morality is a social construct, not a natural law.
What city has the best/worst tasting tap water?

How could one go to a type of “old Reddit” for the old Reddit chat since the new reddit chat seems to be garbage?
Yes please. The new chat looks cheap, terrible, and you don’t get ANY notifications of new chats or new chat requests. Reddit diarrheatically shat hard on its user base for no reason at all, aiming to “improve” something that worked just fine. I will never understand the corporate mentality of feeling like a good idea… Continue reading How could one go to a type of “old Reddit” for the old Reddit chat since the new reddit chat seems to be garbage?

Everyone says popular songs are “popular for a reason.” But what is a song you think absolutely has no right to be where it is today?
Not exactly a song that shouldn’t be popular, but definitely something that’s overrated; Imagine Dragons – Bones. And partly because of those memes surrounding The Boys. Don’t get me wrong, this song is super catchy and groovy, but I think the ratings are just a bit higher than I would’ve expected.

Across all sports in all countries, who is the best team or player of all time?
Speaking in terms of pure talent, might be Shohei Ohtani. I know he hasn’t really played that long, but I can’t think of any time where someone has played two completely different positions in a sport and was elite in both. Otherwise, it’s comparing apples to oranges. Every sport has their own best players and… Continue reading Across all sports in all countries, who is the best team or player of all time?
What are your opinions on septum piercings? Why yes or why no?
As I have seen (multiple times now), a lot of redditors are against septum piercings. They are always brought up in amihot, amiugly, etc. I am just wondering what the broader audience of Reddit thinks about them.
If you were provided irrefutable proof that the universe as you’ve known, and your existence within it, is a simulation, what would you change about your life?
Nothing. Does being in simulation change anything about our existence? I’m already Agnostic. Knowing we are in the simulation just resolves an issue there. The creator of the simulation is essentially a god. Unless the simulation’s sole purpose is my individual mind, the knowledge of it does not change anything for me.
What will you do in your college life if you go back in time?

Vasectomy or vasoligation, is an elective surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception.

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasectomy
What is one opinion from the opposing political party you actually agree with?
The conservatives are right that we allowed schools to become hyper-political and they’ve failed at meeting certain basics. More and more parents are opting for home schooling and private schools and charter schools. They just don’t want to deal with hyper-political teacher unions and school boards and just want their kids to learn.
You’re in charge of the catering in Hell. What do you serve up to make people’s stay as unenjoyable as possible?
The food is delicious, inmates can smell it no matter where they are.

It definitely a little disconcerting but honestly like most privacy concerns it’s a little blown out of proportion by some.

Well, I’m pretty sure depression was never really meant to be a “useful” trait – it’s more like a glitch in the system, like when your phone autocorrects “I’m fine” to “I’m dorky” for no apparent reason.

It’s unfair to everybody, because fairness isn’t something the universe gives a single flying fuck about.

Is it true that some people only enter into relationships with a secret specific end date in mind (like just for the summer or winter, vacation, etc) Why?
Some people have very clear ideas about what they want in life, and as long as they’re open about such a deadline at the start of a relationship I don’t see any problem with it.

Europeans of Reddit, how do you feel about the current politics of the US?
I’m surprised that everyone is complaining about racism and pushing for the party that was Pro-slavery, created the KKK, and enacted the Jim Crow laws. It doesn’t make any sense.

Elijah and Elisha. Jah literally gets pulled up into the sky by glowing, flaming creatures, usually translated as horses, and his clothes fall off.

And then in the morning Sha just wanders off… Continue reading What you think is the craziest story in the Bible?

Paramount+ We only got it to watch Halo and The Price is Right, but it had so many technical issues on our Samsung smart TV that other apps didn’t have (freezing, failure to load the app) that we were fast to cancel once the trial expired. Also, Halo wasn’t as bad as everyone said.

Which movie should have been great, but had a really terrible cast?

What was the big mistake of the director of the Titanic film?

We had a “once in a lifetime” honeymoon. Travelled to India, Bali, Indonesia and Australia.

And appreciate and cherish others. It’s truly a miracle that, out of all the effectively infinite years the universe will exist, that we get to spend time with people that actually like us. And when they’re gone, they will never against again. So, it’s important to make it count while you still can.

There’s a spectrum of cleanliness that goes from “Oh shit, we might actually have to condemn the building” all the way to “In an emergency, you could probably do surgery in here.” Existing at either end of that spectrum can actually be a symptom of mental illness (depression/hoarding on one end, OCD on the other).… Continue reading How can people just live houses/apartments that are filthy without cleaning them regularly?
What are your thoughts on the iphone se?
Does it do the job you need it to do? Then it’s the right tool. Personally I won’t go to iPhones again because of their accelerated planned obsolesce.

Android has started doing it too but there’s… Continue reading What are your thoughts on the iphone se?
What technological advancements excite or scare you the most?
AI could be fun, but finance bros will run creativity into the ground while chasing the dollar. Online creators will eventually quit as a result of constant theft and we’ll be stuck with generated content that all looks, reads, and sounds the exact same.
What would the world be like if it was ok to show our private parts, but not ok to show our hands? Like would people start to get turned on by peoples hands?
Probably. There were (are?) cultures where it was considered inappropriate for women to expose their ankles or legs, and it was considered sexual to see them. I think hair might be like that in Muslim cultures, I think that’s what the hijab is for
What TV show intro do you refuse to skip?
HOTD had a badass intro, but I haven’t seen that since I was a teen. Game of Thrones was good until the last season happened, and now anything about that show makes me cringe. And I say the words along to the Farscape opening to this day.

Florida and Texas are having a dispute and now Floridians and Texans are about to fight which side do you believe would win and why?
Probably Florida. Every Texan I’ve met is just kind of slow. I don’t mean dumb but they’re just slow in demeanor, they talk slowly, walk slowly, don’t really seem to ever be in much of a hurry.

“International law” and “human rights” are entirely fake, of course, they’re made up propoganda they tell you to make you feel good. if we invade Iraq and force them to do things the way we want them to, that’s just a conquest like any other, where the biggest guns win.

Women of reddit. What makes a guy a good/bad texter?
I’m pretty well reserved and it’s usually the men starting and keeping with the “chase”.

Maybe Guangzhou? They have the largest black population in China though it’s mostly from Africa.

However, I know the subway system in the city has English instructions.

That a lot of people, will try to get advantage of who ever is innocent or honest. It’s like they are trying with everybody to see from whom can they get advantage. It’s difficult to trust “new”people because of this.
What’s the norm for tipping restaurant to go orders?
To go orders are filled by staff that are paid above minimum wage. So they are getting paid like everyone else. Also many times you pay and tip when you place the order.

Do you think lab grown meats could benefit us in the future or cause us harm? Why?
Help. It reduces a lot of the detriments from raising and slaughtering animals. This includes cost, emissions, consumption of natural resources. It’s also just more ethical. I don’t think it will ever replace “real” meat but I am fine with it supplementing it. I find myself buying the “Beyond” veggie stuff occasionally. I imagine this… Continue reading Do you think lab grown meats could benefit us in the future or cause us harm? Why?

How do you feel about the current state April Fools Day pranks?
It seems to me that April Fools has turned into a day where it’s pointless to go online, as every single website is just full of outright lies masquerading as pranks.

How do you feel about no-show/late cancellation fees or prepaying for appointments and not being refunded if you don’t make it to the appointment?
When a professional books you, they are not actively seeking another client for that time slot. If you back out on them, you directly impact their source of income. I certainly can’t blame someone who is depending on their clients making those appointments to charge a cancellation fee.

I ask this question because I remember being totally shocked the first time I told a friend to relax about something (obviously not anything that was a big deal) and them going ballistic.

What are some interesting performance differences of the same action in the Female Body vs Male Body?
For example, I’ve seen some cool facts here in the last week… Men’s skin is in a criss cross patter, making their skin rougher.

Its good. Student debt should not exist. The nation should see higher education as an investment for the future, not an opportunity to gouge people who want to improve their career.

[Serious] What is “true” or “real” masculinity and/or femininity?
The serious answer is that there is no such thing, not objectively. Gender norms are social constructs. Societies can trend toward, and individuals can personally believe in, particular ideals for those constructs, but in the end they are arbitrary.

Basically anyone who isn’t on the hard left. I’m a lifelong liberal (European, not American) and I’ve been banned from subs and had comments removed just for asking questions of people with left-leaning beliefs.

Because providing the best possible legal defense to a monster lessens the possibility of a mistrial.

What exactly is it that makes sports fans feel like they are part of the team or represented by the team?
I feel like seeing it from the outside, it looks like the team owners really know how to monetize their players and wrap people up in the hype for something that doesn’t really involve them, you know?

Went with family recently to the cabins at Fort wilderness. I got the pull out couch. Might as well have slept on the floor. One of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever tried to sleep on, and considering how much it costs to stay there, that’s criminal.

Sunrises or Sunsets? And why?
I’ve never seen a proper sunrise not coming above a mountain, but I like the way the sunlight hits the city further from the mountain first and then gets closer to the foothills as the sun keeps going up. But sunsets are always so pretty with all the colors they tend to be. Purple, red,… Continue reading Sunrises or Sunsets? And why?
What was your near death experience like?
When I was younger my family and I were staying at a hotel with a pool. We all went swimming, and I accidentally swam in too deep…under the water I went.

Vegans: If you were asked you to eat a chicken to save two other chickens from slaughter, what would you do?
Non-vegans: if you could eat delicious & nutritious food that involves killing innocent animals, or eat delicious and nutritious food that does not, why do you keep choosing to pay for animals to die. Oh right….bacon is more important, and worth killing for.

Who are your favorite political Youtubers?
I wouldn’t call him “political” exactly. He isn’t out here trying to “own” anyone on either side.

Do you believe that the Illuminati still exists today, and if so, what is their purpose or agenda?
Yes of course they still exist but their purpose and important has waned considerably. It likely hasn’t changed much if at all, and is in direct competition with what would be considered the modern day Illuminati – the multibillionaires. The rich have accomplished what the Illuminati once upon a time had dreamed of in terms… Continue reading Do you believe that the Illuminati still exists today, and if so, what is their purpose or agenda?

What are you addicted to right now?
Not exactly THC, but what THC gives me. Before I tried it I’d never really known what living without joint pain and hand tremors was like, I essentially just put up with it and confined myself to lesser activities because I didn’t think there was a solution. Now I have no idea how to function… Continue reading What are you addicted to right now?

Conservatives. Both conservative leaders who it seems like more and more just openly lie and make blatantly false claims to get elected, as well as conservative voters who eat up the lies and vote against their own self interest time and time again
What’s one small decision you made that ended up changing your life in a big way?
Well, I would say that deciding to go to college in a different state than where I grew up was a small decision that had a big impact on my life.

Well, to be honest, I don’t think it’s ever okay to look down on someone else.

How can you deal with frustration without acting from it or speaking about it?
Personally for me whenever I’m frustrated I do the Inhale exhale technique. It’s hard to deal with it without acting or speaking on it at all so even when I do that I still end up getting angry or have to rest for a sec in the bathroom.
How did you get into your current career?
Nepotism. My dad was a contract welder, and he signed this one huge job where he leased a shop for four years to do it, and hired me as an apprentice. I got my required hours for my trade there, then went to work for someone my dad used to work with after the four… Continue reading How did you get into your current career?
Why or why not is a woman morally obligated to inform the baby daddy she is pregnant with his child?
It’s not just her child. If she’s going to keep it, that man has every right to be a parent to it (unless he committed some crazy offense against the mother). It’s basically kidnapping if she doesn’t tell him. It was his kid too, and she took the child away from him without his consent… Continue reading Why or why not is a woman morally obligated to inform the baby daddy she is pregnant with his child?

What do you think about an international hearing about an armistice on AI development?
It’s clearly moving faster than governmental institutions can respond to. The capacity of an individual to manipulate an entire nation if not the whole world grows as our ability to prevent that diminishes. The analogy of a child playing with a loaded gun has been used and I don’t believe it’s inaccurate.
If the universe is infinite, how can it be expanding? And how do we even know that it’s expanding?
Cosmologists do not claim that the universe is both infinite and expanding. Most current theories posit a large finite universe. Expansion is based on measurements that correspond to theoretical predictions. Things like the background radiation of the universe and the spectral shift indicate objects are moving apart.
Dear “conservative” Christian’s of reddit, why do you call yourself christians, when all your quotes and morals are from the old testament and you leave out all the respect, love and peace stuff Jesus told?

What do you think about Joel’s act to Ellie?
He would rather let the world burn, than to break the commitment he made to keeping her safe… Selfish/selfless? Idk… But I know most of us would have made the same choice and it definitely drove the fact home that nobody should mess with angry Joel!
What would you ask an nra member?
Nothing, I know most are just hobbyists that are scared of losing their favorite toy. I do feel that Brenna Taylor’s case clearly proved that they are a white supremacy group at their core but the average Joe just doesn’t want their toys taken away. No point in grilling someone like that.
What do you think about people who go on vacation in a small city car?
Doesn’t seem atypical in the general universe of size as a rental (at the destination) if you go somewhere in flights or driving. If you mean like a road trip or something you should take a larger car or SUV (yours or rent) or you’re in for a world of hurt. But it’s not my… Continue reading What do you think about people who go on vacation in a small city car?
What are your thoughts on the world being well balanced with good and bad people?
Good and moral are defined by the current society we have, so it makes sense that they would balance out bad people. If too many people think it’s acceptable to steal food from supermarkets, then that is no longer a bad thing to do.
What will social media be remembered for?
I think there will be a flurry of academic papers examining how people think about the world around them within this decade. In media studies, there is a figure called Marshall McLuhan.

What will most likely happen/exist in the future that nobody talks about but will cause a massive change?
Nuclear war. It is talked about but I don’t think the public is as concerned as it should be about it. The global political tension is rising at a concerning rate.

How did you discover fulfilling hobbies or side projects that provided you with personal value?
Oh, so hobby’s shouldn’t be side projects or hustles. It should be something you enjoy and that’s it. If you’re great at your hobby, huzzah! Good on you! But it shouldn’t be a for profit thing. It’s a just for you or you pawn off at milestone (blank) showers

Base your budget on your take home pay per month.

The rest could go into checking and be used for anything extra such as haircuts or to treat yourself… Continue reading how does one start and stick to a budget?

What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

What’s something that happened to you that made you question a strong belief you have?

people that lived in good neighborhoods that turned bad how did it happen ?
The original family’s children grew up and moved away. Things got run down and people started parking in the lawns. Apartments sprung up and the gas station got crowded with people just hanging out. The school district went down hill. Flooding drove down the property values. Lack of city services prevented safety and infrastructure improvements.… Continue reading people that lived in good neighborhoods that turned bad how did it happen ?
What finally made you snap at your long-time best friend?
His constant abuse. Eventually sober me would continue to take it but once I got drunk with him (he constantly insisted on getting shitfaced drunk together) it would remove some of my inhibitions and I’d start snapping at him once he would be shitty, as opposed to just taking it. There was an animal side… Continue reading What finally made you snap at your long-time best friend?
What did you do as a teen that could of gone horribly wrong looking back?
Getting into a car with a driver who had been up all night working. No drugs or alcohol involved,, just really tired. He swerved so badly I, as the passenger, was looking up the center of the two lane road. Only reason there wasn’t an accident was there was no other traffic. We pulled over… Continue reading What did you do as a teen that could of gone horribly wrong looking back?
What’s is the most naive thing you have ever believed?
Market forces unburdened by anything would somehow produce a desirable outcome. Hey, in my defense, at the time the only marginally anti-war politicians in town were (US) Libertarians… And the result, if taken at their word, would probably be better for the world. Imperialism would be a lot less feasible, though not impossible.
What is everyone up to tonight?
Went to my favorite ethnic (Eastern euro) Market, got a bunch of snacks, playing assasins creed. How about you?
People who go to concerts and talk through them: Why?
I appreciate the serious response. But wouldn’t a house party or a bar be better for that? Obviously a lot less expensive. But also, doesn’t it feel weird to be socializing while surrounded by people there to soak in the music? Like, you wouldn’t do it during a movie, or even a classical performance, right?
When It’s Late What Type Of Food Do You Like Eating?
Yikes, chill out with your capitalization. I usually like a nice crunchy dill pickle if I have them around. If I need a whole meal, I’d probably just fry a few eggs. Quick, easy, minimal cleanup after.
Long term relationshippers… how do you REALLY feel when you’re with “The One” after the initial dating phase?
Everyone talks about finding the one, but as someone who hasn’t yet found the one, and is thinking their current one might be the one, I want to know what you all think.

With all due respect, how come so many white guys act so arrogant and entitled?
Because they can be, they are the Elite and always have the advantage over every minority, whether it’s women or black people or any other minority, they will always have the advantage.

Least likely to… Continue reading With all due respect, how come so many white guys act so arrogant and entitled?
What advice is cliche but really true?
“Just be yourself when talking to a love interest” So damn true, if you are yourself and you don’t naturally click/ vibe then it’s just not worth perusing. No point in trying to fit yourself into someone else’s shape because there are plenty more fish in the sea – another cliché but true statement!

Yes and no. If someone is bullying you (I’m not talking about just being a dick to you every now and then), tell them to stop, block them or turn your computer off. If you do that, it’s ongoing harassment and should be a crime.
What is the next step in the evolution of Social Media?
a “Simone” event where we find out that one of the top SM stars was never even a real person. That will shake up how people view it. Instead of us just calling a video fake/staged, we will start questioning whether the people in the video even exist.
What’s a double standard that you are OK with?
Sports. Women can’t hang in the open divisions so they made their own little money bleeding discriminatory leagues, but stuff like volleyball, skating, gymnastics, etc fill the spank/think of someone else bin wonderfully so god bless them.
what policies would you push as the president?
I would focus the resources (including money) on improving the country, and I wouldn’t spend a penny for other countries until the internal problems are solved.

Would you rather have wings or a tail and why?
I would choose wings but local government would see a unregistered flying object not in contact with ATC and they would either shoot me down or conduct experiments on me. So probably a tail, which is kinda shitty but less life threatening

How do we honestly justify keeping animals in zoos in this day and age?
From the most pragmatic standpoint animals are on display to get funding for conservation. Needed funding that would not be there without the zoo. To that effect there should be stipulations for zoos along with regular checks not unlike health inspections for restaurants. In the most ideal world we wouldn’t destroy habitats to begin with… Continue reading How do we honestly justify keeping animals in zoos in this day and age?

That looking at the speedometer from the passenger seat just “made it look like they’re going faster than they are, because of the angle”. I believed my grandpa wasn’t speeding for years. Also, that we would all immediately die in a fiery wreck if you had the interior lights on in the car at night.
