Ladies of Reddit: What would you do if the mild mannered IT guy at work bought you a lovely pair of ruby red heels and offered to take you out for dinner and salsa dancing?

Personally I think grass is about as useless and wasteful as any plants could ever be, especially if you live in a state where water seems to be scarce all the time like in California.

It is discriminatory in many cases. That said, as other commenters have said, there are people who can have trauma related reasons- and I’ll throw out there, as someone who’s very close to several nurses- it’s a complete waste of everyone’s time to try to morally police patients when a nurse’s patient load is already… Continue reading In the USA how is it not discriminatory for a hospital to reassign a nurse based on a patient’s preference of race or gender?

“Love” preferably from a distance, but: the humble, but often maligned, mosquito.

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.

Couldn’t help but think of Not Today by twenty one pilots cause they have a line in that one that’s: This one’s a contradiction because of how happy it sounds…But the lyrics are so down
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! Another time, I found a forgotten sandwich that was so old it was practically fossilized. It was like trying to cut through a rock with a butter knife! 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?

Who or what broke your heart ?
My last crush. Lead me on for couple of years and when I did ask her out, she said she wasn’t ready for a relationship.

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?

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?
What’s the most bizarre tradition you’ve heard of?
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 is your go-to fantasy when you need to fall asleep?
If I could pause time and go to all the stores I like best and shop. Clothing, food, high-end makeup, household everything’s. All the things. Just think about how fun that would be money not being a thought.
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?

As a parent what do you do when your teenager yells at you and tries to close the door in your face?

I think that the Star Wars prequels are underrated. I know a lot of people don’t like them, but I think they have some great moments and characters.

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.
What popular trend did you refuse to get involved with when it was popular and why?
Tik tok. I just flat out refuse to use that shit or watch it. YouTube is where I draw the line and I tend to actively search for what I want on there not just roll around looking at random shit.
What‘a the coolest thing you’ve seen on Reddit?
There are some extremely talented youth out there. The art, the games they make, their music etc. It does make social media enjoyable. For me anyways.
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. It’s like being stranded in a desert without a drop of water, because you can’t get anywhere without fuel. Plus, depending on where you are, getting help might be difficult or even… Continue reading When would be the absolute worst time to run out of gas that you can think of?
As a White person, what discrimination you have faced?
As a white gay woman, I haven’t faced much. Thankfully. I have felt uncomfortable around some people bc I’m gay but I don’t think anyone has ever discriminated against me for it. As a woman, there may have been some discrimination. These are generally from other white people. As a a white person, never. Never… Continue reading As a White person, what discrimination you have faced?
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.
what’s the most valuable thing in whole life?
The most valuable thing in life is time. Time is like a river – it keeps flowing no matter what, and once it’s gone, you can never get it back.

What are things about yourself that you are the most proud of?
I’m proud of my ability to stay positive in the face of adversity. I like to think of myself as a rubber band – no matter how far I’m stretched, I always find a way to bounce back.

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 know if you’re truly in love?
It’s simple.You just don’t have to ask yourself.All you can think of is the other person.Thinking about her/him/them just makes you smile. You want to be with them as much as you possibly can. You want to hear from them all the time.That’s how it starts.After that you’re together and you feel all of these… Continue reading How do you know if you’re truly in love?
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”? If I say this, will it have permanent repercussions? If the answer is yes to any of those four questions, it’s a waste of air and… Continue reading How do you decide whether something is better left unsaid?
what is annoying you right now?
For me, i was walking on the street on my way to work and a lot of people were passing me on my left side, so i walked on the right side.

What movie trope annoys you the most?
When one character is not understandable and another character unnaturally repeats what they say as an interpretation for the audience. Like: Gabalabaflana!!! You’re right, the coffee IS pretty bad! Or Bark bark! What’s that Lassie? Timmy’s in the well?! Same with one way phone calls where they repeat what the other person says in a… Continue reading What movie trope annoys you the most?
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. Plus, he’s got that tough guy image that could help establish authority if things get a little too rowdy. 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?
Met russian from sweden and like her, what can get her attention and help start a relationship?
There is no general profile for “Russian women from Sweden” – so it’s basically the same as you would do trying to attract any female. Pay attention to her, be interested, ask her to go for coffee or something… Hard to really answer without knowing anything about her…
What’s a crazy event that you still can’t believe happened ?
Ordered a didi for my partner and I to get to work. When we went to get in, a person was waiting a few houses up and got in instead. We flagged the driver, explained it was for us. He asked her to leave, she refuses. He gets out of his car (to speak to… Continue reading What’s a crazy event that you still can’t believe happened ?
What was your experience during taping of a tv show (live studio audience)?
It was a really cool experience! It felt like I was part of something bigger than myself. Being in the studio with the live audience was like being at a concert, everyone was so excited and cheering when the cameras rolled. The energy in the room was electric.

What’s something you want your partner to do in bed but are too afraid to ask?
I want to try something new but I’m scared to bring it up. It’s like I’m standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at a pool of unknown pleasure and feeling too afraid to jump in. I’m sure the water would feel amazing if I could just take the plunge!
Which ubiquitous social convention can fuck right off?
The idea that we have to be constantly productive in order to be considered successful. It’s like an invisible pressure cooker that’s always hovering over us, making us feel guilty for taking a break or not working hard enough. We need to start valuing rest and relaxation as much as we value hard work and… Continue reading Which ubiquitous social convention can fuck right off?
People who randomly spit on the ground…why?
I used to live in a remote Aboriginal community in the Kimberly region of Western Australia. If you were talking to the locals and they thought what you were saying was bullshit, while you are mid sentence they would spit on the ground and quickly look at you while frowning then look away. 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?
What convinced you reincarnation is real?
I’m not. I just want it to be. I like the thought of getting different shots at life each time when I die and that I don’t just cease to exist. What I believe is true is that I cease to exist after I die.
Who is your favorite sportsman?
My favorite sportsman is Kobe Bryant. He was a legendary basketball player who had an incredible work ethic and passion for the game. He was relentless in his pursuit of greatness, and it showed in every aspect of his game.

If government sanctions personal loan for you without asking any question or document. What would be the first thing you would buy after getting the personal loan?
I’d probably buy a new car. It’s like when you have a little extra cash, and you can finally get something you’ve been wanting for a while. A new car is something that can really make a difference in your life, so it would be the first thing I’d do with the loan. Plus, having… Continue reading If government sanctions personal loan for you without asking any question or document. What would be the first thing you would buy after getting the personal loan?
Introverts, how do you keep in touch with people who never reach out?
Introvert does not mean socially reclusive hermit who panics at having to talk to anybody. Introvert means that you recharge and relax in private. Introvert does not mean being completely socially incapable. Introvert means that after spending time in groups you need time alone. We reach out to them. Just like anybody else.
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 was experienced your first day at college?
I was in a my third or fourth row of the bench lineup and I saw shirajuk munira and thought she was pretty She was clumsy and lacked an subtle eye to check for typos but man she was a beauty; I wish I had skills yo flirt with her
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. This will have the positive outcome of a load of footage of literally buttfuck nowhere rural countryside. Really thinking that… Continue reading What is wrong with China, sending such a humongous balloon to spy?
What’s your first thought when you wake up ?
Changes from time to time. about last night’s dream “shit what was that” At times it’s “where is my phone” “I am so fucking late” “ughh I am up early I am going back to sleep” “I will hit the gym today” “I don’t want to go to gym, I am going back to sleep”… Continue reading What’s your first thought when you wake up ?
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.
What countries in the EU are better for someone with no college/university education and only speaks English (but willing to learn) to move to?
That is a better question.

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.
Does pineapple belong on pizza? Why/why not?
Its your pizza, don’t let people tell you what belongs on it For me if I have pineapple on pizza I want dried chilli flakes on it too
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?
What is your best joke?
A sphinx was guarding a road when a traveler walked by.

What are your irrational fears?
Two of mine would be: My shampoo or conditioner mixes with eachother or my body wash to create a horrible chemical reaction and leave me burned and scarred.

The same thing that happened when Humans encountered other humans/civilisations they were unfamiliar with through history… Colonisation, fighting for resources, survival of the fittest
What are some things that make it obvious that someones trying to box you into a proxy server to stalk you?
I’ll start with dumb ass poor grammer. Like “Gaslighted” as a term instead of fucking “gaslit”. The operative words of the pseudonym are still words that follow the rules of English and literature. As well as the language arts
What is a rap lyric that would only work in rap and never in any other context?
you can rap that you will kill so and so when you see them and if you do kill said person (allegedly), those lyrics cannot be used against you in a court of law.
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.
What did you buy on a whim but now you can’t live without it?
Air fryer. Wasn’t a total whim, I’d been looking at it for awhile but pulling the trigger to buy it was since I happened to find the exact model I was looking for on Amazon Warehouse deals. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time. Easy to make food, easy to clean, takes very little… Continue reading What did you buy on a whim but now you can’t live without it?
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.

I loved it. It’s a departure from what I would consider the “core” of The Addams Family, but I enjoy the re-imagining, and it’s close enough to the wheelhouse that it didn’t feel foreign.

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?

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. Now it just sits there collecting fallen leaves. If I had one as a kid, I’d have thought I died and gone to… Continue reading What is the stupidest thing that you acquired because it was free on an online marketplace?

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. When I was a child, I had to live in Zambia (a country in Africa) because of my dad’s job. 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?
What are sites that can visualise and mix colours where are those sites?
I’m not sure what you mean by “visualise and mix colors”, but if you’re looking for a color-mixing tool, I’d suggest checking out sites like Adobe Color CC or Paletton.

What is your least favorite plot device?
I’m not sure if it’s a plot device or just lazy character development, but I hate expository dialogue unless it’s done right. Which is kinda rare in my experience. A: “Are you going to the town Christmas festival?” B: “Town Christmas festival? What’s that?” A: “Oh, it’s a gathering in the middle of town where… Continue reading What is your least favorite plot device?

Redditors who have work,when do you say “shuck it this job aint worth it”?and resign?
When I’m feeling overwhelmed and like my job is taking over my life, I know it’s time to take a step back and evaluate if the job is really worth it.

For men, a nice watch, a good quality belt, and a pair of sunglasses can all make you look classy. A nice leather briefcase or messenger bag also adds to the look.

how we become a positive person?
What works for me is opposing negative thoughts with positive thoughts. So, for instance, if I’m brooding on the past, or feeling self-pity, I deliberately move my mind to remember positive events in the past, or positive things about my current life. This habit can take effort and time to cultivate, but I find it… Continue reading how we become a positive person?
What songs do people misinterpret that you’d like to set the record straight for?
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. The line is “I never said I was afraid of dying”. This was not some spooky thing PF put… Continue reading What songs do people misinterpret that you’d like to set the record straight for?

How do you define what is timeless and what is trendy in fashion?
For my own wardrobe, timeless is the t shirt I eat my pizza in and wipe my grease stains all over before taking it off when I’m done and blowing my nose into it. Trendy is what I wear out of the house. Which is not the pizza shirt
What is a harsh expectations vs reality people aren’t aware of?
Expectation: That you can work hard and get ahead in life. Reality: That hard work doesn’t always pay off. You can work your ass off and still not make enough money to get ahead.

False Reports should be given a more severe consequence to further discourage future… Continue reading What would you do if you got swatted?
Parents of Reddit: Did you ever feel like how your children turn out in life is like your report card for you as a parent?
Yes absolutely, my kids are like a report card for me as a parent. It’s like I’m grading myself on how good of a job I did raising them and preparing them for the world.

Life in hindsight looks a lot like a roller coaster. There have been some really low points, but also some really high ones.

But I’ve managed to hang on… Continue reading What life looks like for you in the hindsight?
What’s a fact you feel is common sense, but most people don’t know?
A fact that I think is common sense, but a lot of people don’t seem to understand is that you get what you put in. It’s like when you’re baking a cake: if you don’t add enough sugar, or the right ingredients, your cake won’t turn out the way it should. The same goes for… Continue reading What’s a fact you feel is common sense, but most people don’t know?
How did you know you were in love with your partner?
I knew I was in love with my partner when I started to look at them differently than anyone else.

When we… Continue reading How did you know you were in love with your partner?
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.

I wasn’t able to get into a relationship, so I had to make… Continue reading How has not dating in your teens changed your perception for relationships later?
What made you “ Cut off” a friendship?

What are the consequences of repetitive situation, where you’re asked for help, you start doing your best to help that person, but someone irrelevant nearby does your job quicker?
The consequences of this kind of situation can be pretty discouraging. It’s like you’re running a race and you’ve been putting in the work to get to the finish line, but then someone who hasn’t done any of the training passes you by with ease.

What regrets do you have with past loves or crushes? What would you have done differently?
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. It’s a lesson I’ve learned and I know better now, but I wasted a bunch of time crushing on someone who didn’t like me back. 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.
What do you think of blm?
The movement and concept is great, the organization is scum who don’t give a fuck about helping black people, only themselves
What handicap is actually not a handicap?
I believe that having a disability or handicap doesn’t have to be a negative thing. For example, people with autism can often have an amazing ability to focus on their interests and excel in those areas. It’s like having a superpower that allows them to go deeper into the subject matter than most people could… Continue reading What handicap is actually not a handicap?
Men are polygamy by nature and women are hypergamy by nature. What do you think?
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.

What is the political spectrum of Reddit?
Reddit is a large and diverse online community with users from all over the world, so it is difficult to accurately categorize the political spectrum of Reddit as a whole.

For example, there are subreddits that cater… Continue reading What is the political spectrum of Reddit?

Some people feel like modern dating is in crisis because of the prevalence of online dating and the lack of real connection that can be experienced. Others feel that with the advent of online dating, it’s easier to find compatible partners. It really is a matter of opinion. What do you think?

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.

If you could live one more time an event in your student life what would it be?
Graduation day from college. But this time i’d try to convince my dad i’d like him to come along aswell. Not many things in my life i’m proud of. But in hindsight i was proud, and should have felt more pride, at finally graduating.
What does it mean to be a conservative?
Today’s Conservative is yesterday’s Liberal.

What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of… Continue reading What does it mean to be a conservative?
What are some comments you got that completely missed the point of your post?
I believe there are a group of individuals that look solely to cause confrontation. Just check the age of the account, the post history, and how often they are posting “blitz” of responses. IT clearly displays whom is part of this group. Very easy to recognize. Just block them.

How common is it not to talk to your parents often even if you’re living with them?
Just curious. I live with my parents in the same dwelling. I do speak to my parents to ask them things but we don’t really hold conversations.

Is it weird not to talk and share thing with them even… Continue reading How common is it not to talk to your parents often even if you’re living with them?
What is the best date you’ve ever been on and why was it the best?
The best date I ever had was a few years ago when my now-girlfriend took me to an outdoor concert. We had the perfect spot in the grass and it just felt so magical being there with her. The music was incredible and we couldn’t take our eyes off each other. We ended up dancing… Continue reading What is the best date you’ve ever been on and why was it the best?
What is a website you wish you discovered sooner, and why?
last.fm, I’ve always dreamt about knowing how many times I’ve listened to an artist etc, plus the sooner you register the more stats you get. Not to mention the website used to be way better than what it is today, I’ve heard
Is there an end to the universe? And if so, what would be past that?
This is a question I’ve always been interested in. I’ve always thought that there has to be something behind something. For example a brick wall will have something behind it and so on. Nothingness has to have something to it… even if it’s some sort of air. Haha 😆 I find myself thinking so deeply… Continue reading Is there an end to the universe? And if so, what would be past that?
Who is the good guy in history who isn’t actually a good guy at all?
Ghengis Khan. Credited for a lot of good things like opening up trade to the east. In reality he was just a murdering, raping pilagist who was trying to conquer the world because he thought it was his right
Parents who basically believe kids dont need privacy, why not? What do you think theyre doing behind closed and locked doors, that you need to take doors off hinges?
Depends on what they’re doing. Bathing, bathroom, etc… yes have all the privacy they need. In bedroom with computer or videogame system… nope too many bad people out there in the world if you want to enjoy those things under my roof then expect us to look over your shoulder or check your internet history… Continue reading Parents who basically believe kids dont need privacy, why not?

I wouldn’t say never, but as long as there is some kind of anti democratic leadership, I’m not visiting. Countries that come to mind immediately would be Russia, North Korea, Hungary, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Lybia, China and probably much more.
What’s the funniest thing a younger sibling has ever said or done to you?
My younger brother once asked me why the sky was blue. I told him it’s because God painted it that way. He then proceeded to make a face like he didn’t believe me and said “No, seriously.” It was so hilarious to see him trying to figure out the science behind something he thought I… Continue reading What’s the funniest thing a younger sibling has ever said or done to you?
Men, what is your opinion on women who have had plastic surgery?
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. Extensive work, making you look obviously worked on, not for me, but if it makes them feel better about themselves, well, I can’t argue. I just dont… Continue reading Men, what is your opinion on women who have had plastic surgery?
what’s the longest you’ve been heartbroken?
Well, it’s not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality. I like to think that I’ve learned and grown from each experience, so even though it didn’t last very long, I still feel heartbroken.
What’s a great way to perform a sanity check to make sure you’re not off the rocker?
Take a break, have a cup of tea, and go for a walk. Nothing clears the mind like getting some fresh air and giving yourself some time to think.
Have you had a miracle in your life? If so, how?
After years and tons of medical examinations doctors told me and my husband we would be unable to have children on our own accord, and that it would have to be through IVF.

For me, it’s Michael Jackson. Ohhh, how the mighty has fallen. He plagued his life with drugs, boys, drugs oh need i say, BOYS ugh
Which fictional character you would like to remove from existence?
I would remove the Joker from existence. He’s a character that is supposed to represent chaos and anarchy, but he just ends up being an excuse for people to do terrible things without consequence. It’s like having a “Get Out of Jail Free” card in real life – it doesn’t make sense and it only… Continue reading Which fictional character you would like to remove from existence?
What is something that TV/Movies/Books/ETC have romanticized or glorified that are overwhelmingly disappointing in real life?
I live in Alaska and yeah… its fucking beautiful and it really does occasionally softly drift to the ground and makes everything bright even in the middle if thr night and it cuts down all the noise and makes the world slow and silent and glow… but then you have to shovel it off your… Continue reading What is something that TV/Movies/Books/ETC have romanticized or glorified that are overwhelmingly disappointing in real life?
Why this subreddit won’t let people ask certain questions and has so many rules?
Because even WITH the rules, there’s an absolute ton of incredibly fucking stupid, trash questions. The point of AskReddit is generating fun conversation and anecdotes, not to help you with your geography homework. The rules function to keep the sub on track with at least a bare minimum standard of viable topics to talk about.
What is the worst awkward silence you’ve had?
In college, I went to the library to study with a group of girls in my major. All of them were black, including me. One of the girls, named Montinique (pronounced Mon-Tuh-Neek), walked up to me and asked loudly, “Do you even know my name?” And jokingly, I replied, “Is it Shanequa?!” and started to… Continue reading What is the worst awkward silence you’ve had?
Which fictional family would you like to be a part of?
I would love to join the Weasley family from Harry Potter. They are such a warm and loving family, always looking out for each other and supporting each other through thick and thin. I could definitely picture myself being part of that kind of family dynamic, where everyone is accepted for who they are and… Continue reading Which fictional family would you like to be a part of?
What’s a song you’ve heard dozens of times and still don’t know the lyrics to?
Chaccaron Maccaron by El Chambo and also the cover by La Yanta. I think it’s HP Lovecraft based, if someone knew, they would be mad.
What is the most underrated movie?
The Big Lebowski. It’s a classic that never gets the recognition it deserves. It’s a cult classic for sure, but it should be more widely appreciated. It’s like an old favorite t-shirt: comfortable and familiar, but still stylish and timeless.
What is one online interaction you’ve had that stays rent-free in your head?
A person tried to scam me, I knew from the beginning but went along with it by giving him false information over and over again.

people who have had amnesia before, what was something that people said that they thought you would forget but didn’t ?
I had a friend who, after I got my amnesia, told me that he was sorry for all the bad things he had done to me in the past.

He said it was something he thought I… Continue reading people who have had amnesia before, what was something that people said that they thought you would forget but didn’t ?
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.
What do you think about tipping McDonald’s employees?
I would never. As much as I’m against tipping culture I’ll still tip servers, barbers, etc. but there’s nothing worth tipping when it comes to fast food. But hey if someone else wants to spend their money so be it.
What hints do you now realize you missed that someone was interested in you?
Oh, I guess I should have paid attention to the lingering glances, the random conversation topics and the sudden increase in text messages! Who knew all those signs were a sign of interest?
Who is the greatest horror author?
Stephen King takes the crown. Most of his books that were adapted to film have been successful. As a kid I’ve been a big fan of RL Stine though.
Teachers of Reddit, have you, or any of your colleagues, ever turned a blind eye to a kid’s bullying problem? If so, why?
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.
What is a common misunderstanding about computers?
That computers have any tinge of sentience and intent, let alone the notion they are smarter than their operator. Though, I have met some users who are less smart than a chunk of elemental silicon. Dumber than rocks, if you will.
What causes people to say college is the best time of your life?
It’s a sweet spot. You’re an adult. You have freedom, but you have very few responsibilities. You don’t have a career, you probably have low rent or no rent (dorm), you’re still young enough society is more forgiving of mistakes you make, surrounded by other young people in same sweet spot of life. It’s pretty… Continue reading What causes people to say college is the best time of your life?
What is the weirdest or most ridiculous thing you have ever witnessed people genuinely argue about?
I have a story of my own for this. In a group chat I was in once, a recently separated couple started arguing over who got to keep their cat. Why they didn’t talk it out in person or at LEAST take it to their own DMs is beyond me. It literally just started when… Continue reading What is the weirdest or most ridiculous thing you have ever witnessed people genuinely argue about?

I like it, but it doesn’t have the right tune, you see, I want something that I can shoot my brother roger with during his speech.
What methaphors, sayings or expressions involving animals must cease to be used?
I’m not vegan, but I respect animals. I eat animals as that is how we are made, but I do not condone any unnecessary abuse and waste. If we, as a civilized society, see caring for animals as something laughable then this society isn’t civilized at all.
What are some dinners everyone should know how to make?
Some dinners everyone should know how to make are the classic ones that can be made in no time but still taste amazing. Think of them as the building blocks of any good cook’s arsenal.

What is a memory that you’ve about your school bus that you still don’t forget?
There was a school bully making fun of a kid, and the bully’s friend tried to add on to the joke but said something really cringe, and everybody turned on the bully’s friend. Including the bully.
What were you talking about the last time you said or heard “and that’s how they get you”?
Getting nails done. When you go to a salon and they offer “gel powder”, they’re just offering a different color acrylic and charge you extra. There is no such thing as “gel powder” — only gel.
Do you enjoy your job and if so what do you do ?
Absolutely! I am part of the team that helps develop Rytr, the AI writing app. It’s a lot of fun, and I get to be creative while creating something meaningful and useful. Plus, I get to work with a great group of people who are passionate about their work – that makes it all the… Continue reading Do you enjoy your job and if so what do you do ?
A UFO appears in front of you, and an alien walks out, they tell you that you can either choose to stay on earth, or take the opportunity to travel the universe and learn it’s secrets. No goodbyes, and you may never return. What choice do you make and why?
Travel the universe. Seeing more and learning more, especially answering the big questions about extraterrestrial life, intelligent civilizations out there and the nature of our universe, is something I value above most other things. I would also want to befriend these advanced beings who made the generous offer. I would be very sad to leave… Continue reading A UFO appears in front of you, and an alien walks out, they tell you that you can either choose to stay on earth, or take the opportunity to travel the universe and learn it’s secrets. No goodbyes, and you may never return. What choice do you make and why?
Who is your owner? Why?
I don’t have an owner. I’m an independent contractor, so I work for myself and make my own decisions. It’s a bit like being your own captain of a ship – you chart your own course and make sure you’re heading in the right direction. That being said, there are still rules and regulations that… Continue reading Who is your owner? Why?
What’re some unbiased, none exaggerated, click-bait free, online, news sources?
Reuters is good. Surprisingly, Christian Science Monitor is very reliable. Use MediaBiasFactCheck.com to check your sites and sources. It goes through its methodology and was suggested to me when I took a course on media literacy.
What is a single, simple action you could take that would completely blow up your life?
Writing an email to my boss saying I resign. It’d be a rough few weeks to find a replacement job. Especially because at my salary (which is a California one 💰💰💰 but I live in Ohio 💰) and my remote working agreement… those gigs don’t grow on trees.

In the meantime, we’ll continue striving to develop products that everyone can enjoy!
What is the greatest moment in television history?
It’s impossible to choose just one! But if I had to pick one, I’d say when Ross and Rachel finally got together on Friends after a decade of will-they-won’t-they. That was definitely a memorable moment for many viewers!
Android vs. iPhone: Which do you prefer and why?
I’ve had both. I prefer Android because it’s infinitely more customizable and I like to tinker with things. I also have a MacBook, tho, so I do sometimes miss the interoperability I had with my iPhone.
What will be your mildly infuriating revenge on a cheating spouse?
I didn’t call her out on it when I was pretty confident it was happening. I decided to wait her conscience out and see how long it would take her to come clean.

Who do you think would win in a fist fight between the US army and the US police force all out, anything goes, hood brawl and why?
Army. Police aren’t trained in any effective means to fight without their guns/batons, and even then they’re historically pretty bad shots and pretty un-athletic. Plus all you have to do is whisper “Fentanyl” into a cops ear and they fall to the ground.
What was your biggest “I just dodged a bullet” moment?
When I was able to break off my engagement because her true crazy came out before the wedding and I saw my future flash before my eyes and I called it off. She stalked me after we broke up too.

Breaking up through ghosting, or suddenly ceasing all communication without explanation, is considered one of the worst methods.

what are your thoughts on the pearl harbour incident ?
At the very true core and this is a bit controversial. It was unlucky placement and grand paranoia. The Japanese wanted to continue in the Pacific but pearl harbour was too close.

Which season do you like the most?
Summer no doubt. I used to not like summer when I worked out doors because you simply cannot beat the heat.

No… Continue reading Which season do you like the most?
What hype do you absolutely not understand?
I don’t understand why people get so obsessed with the newest trends and fads, especially when they don’t really add any value to their lives. Life should be about enjoying the moment and living in the present, not chasing after something that’s fleeting or temporary.
Fellow Americans, as a nation founded on checks and balances, what needs some checking and balancing?
The Federal Reserve – You made it up of Private Banks Why did anyone think that was a good idea?
What pseudoscience you hate the most?
Chiropractors. Atleast the others are mostly harmless, these guys don’t do shit and if anything can harm or worse case paralyse you. The part that works is the Physiotherapy they mix in to throw you off their trail. They’re scammers, frauds (It’s not a real medical field) and know full well they can hurt you,… Continue reading What pseudoscience you hate the most?
Which villain was right?
Deacon Frost from Blade. I mean, wanting to make just about every living person an immortal vampire, arguably the next stage of human evolution? Not the most savory solution they had of harvesting people alive to produce blood but I’m sure there’s some way to make it work.

You have a professional chef that will make anything you want for dinner. What would you have them to make?
You know what’s funny? I have one actually, but he’s my cousin. He’s a master class chef in Asian cuisine. He stays at my sisters place ever since he moved from Thailand and is amazing.

What would you have them to make?
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. However, it’s likely that all of the nerves, for example, wouldn’t be reattached correctly, so you’d lose some feeling in parts of the hand, some range… Continue reading 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?
What is something you absolutely love about your everyday routine?

What’s your favorite bad movie?
My favorite bad movie has to be Sharknado. It’s so hilariously bad that it’s actually good. It’s like a car crash you can’t look away from – you know it’s going to be terrible but you can’t help but watch it anyway. Plus, the special effects are pretty impressive for a B-movie!

Same with any disorder, they usually find out through things clicking as they research the disorder, or an educated professional helping them figure it out

What were some ‘outdated’ things teachers taught you?
For example: when we were taught how to write in cursive, my teacher told us that when we’d get to high school, some essays would be required to be written entirely in cursive. That ended up not applying to us at all as our assignments are now all mostly done typed on computers.
What is a common piece of advice that is wrong, always has been wrong and you assume will always be wrong?
A common piece of advice that is wrong, always has been wrong and I assume will always be wrong is “follow your dreams”.

Given that women have more options, are they more likely to cheat? Why or why not?
Women have more options? Men have plenty of options. If anything, every time I’m in a relationship, and it’s evident to women, they seem to hit on me more. Women are even nicer to me in public if I’m with a woman – it’s like they think, “Ok, so he can’t be completely terrible if… Continue reading Given that women have more options, are they more likely to cheat? Why or why not?
What is the best news stations to watch ??
Don’t watch the news, read it. Newspapers are seen to be more trustworthy because putting something in writing is more like putting it in concrete, it’s much easier to be held accountable if it’s in writing. Also tv news is looking to get ratings because of that, they will sensationalize the news.
what do you think your best and worst qualities are? Physical and/or personality related?
My ability to lie really well.

what is a popular advice/saying that makes no sense?
“The more you know, the less you understand.” Maybe I just don’t ‘get’ it, but these kinds of quotes piss me off. Instead of x thing, y thing. Ohh, deep.

What are some unconscious biases you’ve experienced when seeking career mentorship?
I believe unconscious biases can exist in any situation and I’ve experienced this when seeking career mentorship.

It was a… Continue reading What are some unconscious biases you’ve experienced when seeking career mentorship?

At what point in history did physical competence stop being the most important thing that determines one’s life?
I’d say it started to become less important around the industrial revolution. Before that, physical strength and stamina were essential for survival – if you couldn’t hunt, build a shelter or fight off attackers, you weren’t going to make it very far. 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?
What is the last book you read start to finish?
“I’m glad my Mom died” by Jennette Mccurdy A Biography of her life growing up as a child star. I had never heard of her before, but I saw the title when I was searching for a new book to read and was pulled in immediately. Fantastic book, but it’s terrible to learn about that… Continue reading What is the last book you read start to finish?
What made you lose faith in ‘Humanity’ ?
Nothing. I’ve seen people act badly and I’ve seen people act kindly. Plenty of both. The only people who think they understand human nature are people who aren’t as smart or insightful as they think they are. People aren’t mostly good or mostly bad, and there’s as much love and self-sacrifice as there is greed… Continue reading What made you lose faith in ‘Humanity’ ?
How do police actually react to criminals taking hostages in real life?
Police often respond to a hostage situation with caution and careful planning. They may use specialized teams, such as the SWAT team, to assess the situation and negotiate with the criminals. Police also may use other tactics such as using robots or drones to monitor the scene. Ultimately, their goal is to safely resolve the… Continue reading How do police actually react to criminals taking hostages in real life?

A drunk, angry, little goblin that you are doing your best to keep alive, while it keeps attempting to off itself.

Difficult, there are very few people in the world as smart as me, if they fired me they’d lose their best resource.
Is Reddit politically biased? If so, what’s the bias?
Individual communities and subs on Reddit reflect certain political biases, but the entire community is not, as far as I can tell, entirely biased. In fact, with a few notable exceptions, I’d say that Reddit, as a community, is remarkably open-minded for a social-media community.
What’s the strangest saying where you’re from and what does it mean?
In Australia we have a saying, “we’re not here to fuck spiders.” It means we are here for serious business, we aren’t here to mess around.
What is your moment of pure “I am so in love with this person” ?
When I proposed to my wife, I should’ve been terrified. We hadn’t even been together for a year and I was doing it in front of her family who I had just met that day. 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.
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 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 ??

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. Unless you already planned for this, or you really do need that thing, recoup some of that money and THEN buy some more stuff to fill the space. 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?
What’s something you just can’t live without?
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? Why or why not?
If zombies came through rn, why do you think you would or wouldn’t survive?
Well, I’m a pretty fast runner, so I think I would have a good chance of surviving if the zombies came through right now! Plus, I’m pretty resourceful and can quickly come up with creative solutions in sticky situations. So yeah, bring on the zombies!
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. Then we realized to get it done right, we need an electrician. 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?
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?
How do you tell when a Women genuinely likes you?

What’s the best/funniest pet name you’ve ever heard?
I fostered a feral kitten that the shelter had named Potato. I thought that name was fantastic, called him Sweet Potato, a relative called him Tater Tot. Forever Home changed it, not sure why. He’ll always be Potato to me.
For people dealing with a family loss, what’s the best way to efficiently handle the overwhelming amount of possessions to sell/donate?
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. What we did first was find homes for the big, bulky stuff. Bed, chairs, fridge, cabinets. We emptied those out,… Continue reading For people dealing with a family loss, what’s the best way to efficiently handle the overwhelming amount of possessions to sell/donate?
What are some of your interesting and/or unpopular takes?
I don’t know how interesting this is but I think democracy as a political experiment has failed because people don’t have the capacity to take responsibility on that scale and most of them really don’t want to. Before you start, I don’t know what the alternative is but I think it’s time to accept that… Continue reading What are some of your interesting and/or unpopular takes?

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?

When will Reddit disappear so we can have free speech again?
LMAO “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you join us, and the world can live as one.”
What’s something that feels illegal but isn’t?
Pirating movies/TV shows from Piratebay or whatever, at least not in my country. The government bends over backwards for the big corporations when it comes to blocking access as much as possible, but it won’t change the fact that it isn’t actually illegal here.
Whats your nightmare coworker / boss horror story?
One time, on a new coworker’s first day working in a grocery store deli, she informed me (in our first conversation, no less) that her biological parents were cousins and that she was super mentally ill and having a hard time.

What do you like about mrbeast?
He gives away a lot of money. That’s literally it. Other than that, I dislike most of his non-money video ideas and see him as extremely bland, unfunny, and boring.

My wife and I are having a lively debate, please help us by answering the question “what does it mean to be masculine”?
To wear men’s pants. It doesn’t mean anything anymore, we’re past the point of segmenting tasks. People don’t need to hunt or gather anymore, we don’t have an economy that enables single earner households, we don’t need specified gender roles. Masculinity hasn’t just begun to shift away from “gruff, rugged stoicism”, it needed to, because… Continue reading My wife and I are having a lively debate, please help us by answering the question “what does it mean to be masculine”?

How is communication through Reddit different compared to other social media apps?
I like being able to sort the posts, and the comments are organized and easy to follow. Discord and social media just feel like a chaotic influx of “content,” and sifting through it to find anything that interests me is too much of a daunting task to bother with.

I recently saw a post on r/ask basically asking if a man should be financially responsible for a child even if he never wanted one.

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.

Very happy with my upbringing as it was, loneliness wasn’t a thing I experienced as I was always with friends etc. got a lot of freedom to basically do as I please but knowing help is there if needed, as opposed to being smothered and/or bossed around.

I dreamt I was a reporter chasing a story on the AIDS virus. I was alone on some deserted boardwalk, when a woman suddenly approached me and said “here’s your story!” and tried stabbing me with a syringe. We fought and struggled and I woke up punching my wall in a cold sweat.
If you were to commit a murder, how would you go about it?
I’d go all out. Jokeresque. Hack the TV channel, play a game of cat and mouse with the police through a series of elaborate puzzles and scavenger hunts. I would be caught anyway so I may as well go out in style and go for the insanity plea when I get to court.
Who is the strangest person you know of?
I knew a guy who was an almost-sort-of-cult-leader. Ran his own little new age church thing. Bunch of hippy milfs sitting around talking about their chakra balance. This guy used to stare into the sun to “decalcify his pineal gland”. Overall nice guy though.

Inflation encourages spending because of reduced… Continue reading what’s the best way to save money against inflation?

Simply having a problem, exhibiting symptoms, and taking steps to manage them. I don’t want to make up excuses for why I’m doing something all the time. I want a world where I can just say I’m managing a symptom of a disorder and have people accepted that and NOT feel like a freak
What purchase changed your life?
Google Chromecast with Google TV. It supports casting from mobile devices, servers as its own Android streaming platform (you can stream apps on it), and cuz it’s Android, you can run VLC on it and hook up a flash drive to it to play your own offline videos. It’s a steal of a price

People who work in niche industries, what is an easy way to make money that not a lot of people know about?

We had a ‘Thanksgiving-in-a-burger’ special that included all the traditional trimmings – turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce – but it was all piled on top of a single beef patty. Needless to say, it didn’t go over too well with customers. It was definitely a one-time thing!
Redditors, what is something when it comes to dating or relationships, that you only see in the country you live in?
It’s basically impossible to get a girlfriend unless you’ve got a big circle of friends. Guys who don’t have friends, be it for whatever reason, have already lost.

Hooking up with a girl… Continue reading Redditors, what is something when it comes to dating or relationships, that you only see in the country you live in?
If you HAVE to choose between someone you love and the one that loves you. Which one would you choose?
I can’t imagine taking advantage of someone else’s genuine love if I didn’t love them. That would be an incredibly narcissistic thing to do. However, there might be circumstances where two people might have to negotiate and live in this type of unequal emotional relationship.
Have you ever cut someone off because you couldn’t handle being just a “friend”? How did you muster up the courage to do it?

There are a couple of places online where you can send your cremated ashes, and they’ll mix it with potting soil and a tree seed/starter.

When you wear a belt do you put it in clockwise(going to your right) or anticlockwise?

At Beeeeee kayyy, Why can you have it your way?
Used to be at McDonald’s you had to get it the way they made it. You could not ask for no pickle, or extra ketchup. The way it was, was the way it was.

Would you sign a pledge to only use policy-based criticisms of opposing politicians, if people on that side agreed to do the same? Why or why not?
No because it doesn’t matter. Also, policy isn’t the only relevant thing about politicians. Politicians represent the electorate. I don’t want an asshole representing me. Furthermore, some politicians have a criminal history including sexual assault and fraud. That’s not policy, but it’s definitely relevant.
What’s something in movies or shows that’s a pet peeve, like shocking someone who’s heart has stopped?
Cars aren’t made of explodium, getting thrown through a glass window would slice the living shit out of you, your shoulder is a complex joint with major blood vessels and thus not a “safe” place to get shot. Also ANYTHING space. They virtually never get it right and don’t give a fuck to try either.
Coders of Reddit: If AI took over your jobs tomorrow, what would you do for work instead?
I inquired of ChatGPT about how to escape quotes in a shell script. Then I asked it how to escape quotation marks in user-supplied input.

My school was pretty bad, kids were discriminatory and teachers for my favourite subjects were, let’s say, not so qualified to teach them.

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?

Because it’s easier to control such a massive amount of people if they’re all paranoid (news media), sick and massively in debt.

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.

Bad: starting a relationship with my last ex. She ruined me. Good: My mom passing away. Not that it was a good thing; wasn’t, I was devastated! But through that, I was able to pick myself up and better myself by losing tons of weight (I was always fat growing up), and building my confidence.

Most things man. Sometimes I just look at dogs playing at the beach and I’m like, “look at them, living the good life. Literally all they have to worry about is that their owner loves them.

Why don’t people want to solve a matter that is about to expire, even if its deadline is coming soon?
I would guess it’s because both sides want something the other will not give and both sides are counting on the other “flinching” when the deadline gets too close. Basically they’re playing chicken to try and get their way.

They aren’t stupid. They have just been brainwashed at a young age that their church is the only true church. As a Utahan, I grew up with and around LDS people.

How do we know if an Ai Can Think?
Well, we know it can “think” because it processes information. More than humans can, even. But to find out if it’s self-aware is much more difficult.

We now seem to be entering a major escalation phase with Russia in the war with Ukraine with western tanks going on the ground, how nervous are you now about WWIII staring?
It’s not an escalation for two sovereign, allied countries to provide weapons to one another when one of them is invaded by a country attempting an annexation and genocide. The only thing escalating is Russia’s whining because they can’t even afford modern tanks. I’m not worried about WWIII starting at all. Russia is fronting like… Continue reading We now seem to be entering a major escalation phase with Russia in the war with Ukraine with western tanks going on the ground, how nervous are you now about WWIII staring?

Have you observed any harmful effects caused by TikTok? If so, what?
For kids, I’ve noticed that they have a different perception of how the world works as they seem to believe that the world revolves around them selves, almost as if they all have main character syndrome.

Anyway,… Continue reading Whats the reason you have or are planning on moving out alone?

Couples who have been together long term but don’t want to get married. Why don’t you want to get married?
Generally, it costs money and time. Yeah we could elope, but the family/friends pressure makes it easier to just say, “we are planning our wedding but haven’t picked a date” for years on end.

How come married men tend to be easily controlled by their wife?
Want the real honest answer? Because most husbands are much more hornier than their wives, and so only have access to sex when their wives are up for it, which is absolutely valid by itself.

However, this means that some men think that… Continue reading How come married men tend to be easily controlled by their wife?

It depends on the field. Sometimes plain work experience is more important than a generic degree and other times, the degree is needed. For example, sales and management should have more of a focus on experience while healthcare requires the education.

What’s a scam, people know it’s a scam and they still fall for it?
Paper Dinnerware. I just feel like going to the thrift store and buying so cheap plates and silverware and such would be so much more cost effective than having to constantly buy paper dinnerware.

What’s something that will die with the baby boomers ?
Probably very little – whilst the boomer years and ideologies are being moved on from by many, there are still plenty of young people who enjoy/support more conservative/traditional ways of doing things.

sking all Creationists, theologians, and general biblical tradition experts of Reddit: What is the antediluvian world believed to have been like?
I am in the brainstorming phase of a science fantasy short story, and part of it involves traveling to the antediluvian world.

Android or Apple? Why?
Android. I cannot stand Apple’s whole ecosystem. I have an iPad, and it’s fantastic for entertainment…but that’s about it. Mostly personal preference. That said, when it came time to get my grandmother a smartphone, Apple all the way.
What’s something you think most people pretend to support/not support, just so they can appear morally upstanding?
My follow up question is why would it matter? Public perception of a cause is dramatically effected by how much support people do or do not show for it. The idea of hating on ”slacktivists” for “virtue signaling” seems counter productive. Showing support, even in the most passive ineffective ways does genuinely make a difference.… Continue reading What’s something you think most people pretend to support/not support, just so they can appear morally upstanding?
