I believe you but I like it so much that I’m gonna start using it anyway.
- Comment on Pretty woman stepping on you 3 days ago:
Honestly same but with guys. Guys that are too keen on hurting a woman are obviously bad, but then they can go the other direction and not be willing to do something even if the woman is a very willing participant.
Not saying I blame them, it’s just a consequence of our society’s general issues with consent.

At my work there is like a 70-year-old security guard who spends his 12-hour (pretty quiet) days learning new languages. I don’t know how his other languages are, but when he speaks Spanish to me, he does so extremely well. The only issue is that sometimes he gets mixed up and speaks Mandarin instead of Spanish to me but we’re not gonna fault him for that one.
To be fair, the man is a retired physiology professor so he’s been learning his whole life and is probably a pretty smart dude, but I’m sure if you apply yourself and enjoy learning, you wouldn’t have an issue at least getting the basics of another language.
- Comment on If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win? 1 week ago:
I was thinking if it’s just a ballot that has a number but it’s not attached to your name. I.e. if the person handing out the ballots gives you a random one and you’re the only one who knows your own number. I’ve never used electric voting machines but maybe a randomly generated number that you can know but nobody else would know?

Yeah there’s a few in Canada too that still use the coin. They usually will give you a coin to use if you go to customer service and ask. Most places just gave up though and abandoned that system. I wonder if it was costing them more to try to maintain or something. I’d imagine that people who have a cart tend to buy more, whereas if they’re forced to use baskets because they don’t have a coin, they might not buy as much. I know that’s the case for me at least.

I know I don’t clean it often enough but I also don’t think that dust should happen after like two days of a deep clean

I’m getting sick of the people on this app being 50yr racist and self centered manager/ceo… that I have to contact :)
Boy do I have some bad news about the workforce for you.
I’m not sure about your field specifically but most companies will have a ‘career’ section on their website. You can usually browse jobs/apply through there.
Your school/teachers might also be able to help you network and get in contact with companies, especially if you make a good impression.
There are also job opportunity aggregators like Indeed, Monster (is monster still a thing?), probably other alternatives in your country.
Good luck!
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 1 week ago:
Yeah, thanks, it sounds like you’re right since people using other brands don’t seem to have this issue. My partner is extremely particular about this brand of TP though so I guess I’m just gonna have to live with it.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 1 week ago:
I have a bidet with toilet paper to dry off/for guests/for various other uses for toilet paper.
Not near a window and the dust is thicker and primarily builds up below the toilet paper roll. It’s not the same as regular dust build up. I mitigate by placing the bin under the roll but it still gets everywhere.
It’s hard to get a picture but this is the thicker dust on my toilet brush, which sits just next to the bin/toilet. Toilet brush with dust on it

You can’t just leave your ass moist, why aren’t y’all using TP to dry off???

- Comment on How does one become a clown? 1 week ago:
I think the majority of people who spend most of their days bringing joy (comedians) tend to have dark background. Doesn’t surprise me that clowns would equally have some awful shit that pushed them to see the bright side of life more clearly.

- Comment on What do you call your mom (Or moms what do your kids call you) 2 weeks ago:
Mom, mamá or viejita (old lady) when I’m feeling brave. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra brave (and playful), I use her childhood nickname that she hates because it’s funny.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 2 weeks ago:
Someone just set off a bomb in front of a politicians office in my province. Not confirmed but fairly certain that was a protest.
Pride turned more into a celebration rather than a protest in recent years with the capitalization of it, but due to recent regression I can imagine it going back to more intense protests in some towns at least now.
Depends where you live but most of the time the government does try to keep even controversial protests pretty light with the excuse of keeping people safe, but there’s always more extreme action that people take, it maybe just doesn’t get shown as a “protest” per se.
- Comment on When voting for judges in elections, how are you supposed to know which are good? (Since none of them publicly express their political opinions, judges are *supposed* to be neutral) 2 weeks ago:
Is there any chance that the judges can “buy” their survey responses? E.g. if they pay off the people taking the survey? Or is it all totally anonymous?
(I’m not American, just curious)

- Comment on What are your approaches to donating? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure where you live, so you may approach it differently.
I’ve been donating for probably 15 years to various charities via regular donations to registered charities. I usually check donation websites to ensure that the charities I’ve picked are spending my money in a way I deem appropriate. This will depend on your country but I use charityintelligence.ca in Canada. Registered charities in Canada are great for donations, because you can claim them in your taxes and get back a significant amount of money on your tax refund. For example, I donate about $1000/year this way and including my donations on my taxes usually increases my tax refund by about $600-700, or at the very least it takes my taxes from owing to even. I can feel more comfortable about spending money on a good cause rather than having to pay money in taxes at the end of the year.
Additionally, I donate to more local causes occasionally (like your artist here) and to artists I enjoy. This doesn’t come with any tax refund usually, but sometimes artists will provide perks for it and at the very least I just know I am supporting someone I enjoy to continue creating things I enjoy.
I know you weren’t fully asking about this, but there are also non-monetary ways to donate that are excellent choices if you find yourself in a more difficult financial situation. You can donate your time (volunteer) as little as a couple of hours per month at local nonprofits/charities/whatever you want to support. You can donate blood or plasma. These are all nice ways to meet people and contribute to big changes in your community.
Good luck on your journey if you decide to continue donating! Don’t feel discouraged, even if others aren’t as generous as you, you’re still making a change in someone’s life.

This is really cool, thank you. I’ve noticed things like this anecdotally but it’s interesting to see there are actual studies.

The thing that having a child and jackass have in common is that both led to net positives for the people involved. Jackass guys got rich, mothers that like having kids get another kid. The only way it doesn’t make sense is for people who don’t understand that having kids is rewarding for some people.

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t even know if I’d call that transracial, that’s just a person who is of one ethnicity but was raised in a different culture than one might expect for someone who looks like them. There’s no “transitioning” happening there.
