- Comment on How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not? 10 minutes ago:
That makes sense. For Europeans. For british and americans it’s the hallmark of upper class, as are pursuing sports like mountain biking or horse riding. When 2 or more people like that want you gone from a conversation, they’ll start talking about mountain biking or skiing together.

codewords like “skiing”

There was even a whole site called “chavscum” where people would take/upload photos of random poor people without their consent and mock them in the comments
Oh, that’s bad.
When i was in secondary school rich priviliged kids would pretend to be chavs/gangsters for some reason. Many have said the same thing back on reddit.
I agree with other comments that chavs aren’t specifically poor people but rather “criminally inclined” people, notoriously antisocial people. Nontheless some people do just extrapolate their chav hate to hatred of the poor.
It is literally like the British people do not see poor people as human.
I would argue that this is impossible. You see, most british people are “poor” in terms of their disposable income - wages and salaries are notoriously low in this country - so if you don’t dress and act like a chav there’s not really anything distinguishing you from a rich person.

- Comment on What is your take on organ donation? 3 days ago:
They will let me die to give my organs to someone important” argument is ludicrous.
Really depends where you live and how your government treats you.
- Comment on What is your take on organ donation? 3 days ago:
I live in Austria where every person is an organ donor and you have to opt-out of it. Even children are donors if their parents don’t opt them out. As a result, more than 99% of Austrians are organ donors. It never occurred to me that it could be the other way around.
Having a system like this is good, because “the other way around” does feasibly have room for them to ‘give up on you’ and harvest your organs. But living in a place where 99% of people will donate organs means there’s no room for this doubt.

^ This.
- There’s coeliac which is the most easily identifiable,
- a generalised gluten allergy, which - last time i checked - needs you to stay off/stay on gluten consumption for a week leading up to a blood test
- allergy to one specific grain like wheat, but not all gluten.
- and there are people who just have really bad digestive issues but have found that going gluten free helps.
We should have more sympathy for people who have to grapple with this shitty, under-researched allergy

I’ve tried Spanish, German, Japanese, Esperanto, and a smattering of others. I just don’t have the mental temperament for language learning, I’m a math guy.
It’s funny you mention the math because i hear english is bizarrely efficient as a language (maybe from various distinct formation languages competiting in order to shape modern english)
I promised my wife I’d learn her native language alongside our future children, but that’s a future me problem.
Given how long it takes you might want to get started tomorrow! You can make it easier by finding a fun way to do it; e.g start with duolingo for basics then play a game/watch a movie you know well in that language.

Nah I guarantee NOBODY is going through the gluten free diet unless they really believe there might be a chance they’re allergic. And you have to go gluten free to see if you are.

If only it was that easy. More fruit trees in cities for instance.

Cutting out caffeine is so fucking hard because people try and bring you cups of tea or coffee all the time and then get upset if you say no thank you
And then there’s the self will power because after abiut 2 days wsuccessfully without i will want some anyway and just succumb to offers of it
And then it’s present in chocolate which is even harder to go without
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 6 days ago:
Just don’t open it to comments. People don’t need that and it’ll get ugly.
Doesn’t it just not feel like confessing at that point? Maybe I’m just an attention whore?

Or, or, the male horses with nipples spent too much time poking their own nipples with their penis for sexual stimulation and it means they removed themselves from the gene pool.
This means male horses selected for less and less prominent nipples until they became completely flat chested.

Hah, I’m sure. In my defense it has always been other people selecting the french films for me. I have to curate my own taste

TBF most french films I watch have some weird theme about large age gap relationships or incest. Think they’ve earned themselves a special warning

About 18 years on this Earth had I
afore i ever heard tell of this concept
Of narry washing a pair of fine denims.
Tis seems foolish, says I
Seems dyshygenic and vain
And one would never remove those vernacular stains
Which so oft finds home on my trouserlegs.
I was 'em once a week, same as with other trousers.

Acting-wise? Either be tall and comfortable in warm suits or tall and really really hairy. Then for the Sound effects, imitate the sounds of a wildebeest copulating.

- Comment on Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE? 1 week ago:
From what i know they’ve targetted places they expect illegal immigrants to work, like Target / Walmart (maybe both), and have more heavily targetted cities and certain states. (Minneapolis in Minnesota, though thst was largely for gangster-political reasons). Most rich americans live in suburbs or remote or gated communities, so i guess they get to avoid stuff like this.
