  Just try things. You’ll figure out what you like/don’t like fairly quickly and you might stumble into something you absolutely love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for site that teaches everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, I just remembered Open Culture exists. That place has everything…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for site that teaches everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Just didn’t feel comfortable with saying it’s great, what with the enshittification of everything nowadays.

  But certainly worth looking into if OP wants to learn stuff online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for site that teaches everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Khan academy used to be great. Not sure if it still is, since I haven’t used it in years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do dogs actually like having their belly rubbed or do they just know we really like to rub their bellies?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My dog was never much for belly rubs. Then he spent a couple weeks at my parents, whose dog had a routine of belly rubs every morning before getting out of bed. Now he demands belly rubs most mornings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That'll be $100k per credit hour, please.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup it is part of the annual code of conduct training at my work.

  I also had to attend sexual harassment and alcohol abuse lectures as a part of freshman orientation at my university back 20ish years ago. It didn’t cost extra, so I’m not sure what the title is referring to. The title makes it seem like they are infuriated by the required training in general, which really doesn’t make much sense to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An insurance I don't love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure private insurance exists in most countries with universal healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Olive Branch MS mayor refusing to lower flag for Dolly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did they lower it for Charlie Kirk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Italian is essentially a cross between Spanish and French. If you know both, you’re basically 80% of the way to knowing Italian.

  Given how much more practical French is, I’d say learn it first, then learn Italian later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make much difference healthwise if you were to split your meal unti 2 parts? Have all your carbs at once then an hour later have your veg and protein?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen it generally recommended to sequence protein and fiber before anything else in the meal. So yes eating your carbs an hour earlier would in fact be worse for your blood sugar.

  I’m not sure how it would be impacted if you ate the carbs an hour later though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital tags have to go.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Last time I was at the grocery store, I noticed half the tags were set to “Out of Stock” even though the items were clearly in stock. This effectively meant you had no clue what the price of the item was until you check out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Price of this Candy Bar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I might’ve eaten a disgusting amount of Costco sized Doritos during the early pandemic. A giant bag for $3.50. Now those bags are closer to $8 and I can’t remember the last time I bought chips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Price of this Candy Bar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most junk food in the US has gone off the rails in terms of price. Like seriously, don’t spend money on food that has zero nutritional value and is actively harmful to your health. You’ll feel so much better and your bank account will be so much bigger.

  I guess I have corporate America to thank for no longer buying chips, candy, or baked goods that I might’ve otherwise splurged on as a treat. Can’t justify it with prices the way they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can look into container gardens if you have a balcony. Also consider if plug in solar is an option for you (it’s slowly spreading through the US).

  I’ve heard getting a box fan and putting a bowl of ice in front of it can act as a poor man’s AC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨corporate America just posted record profits this week. The stock market is at all time highs. If your paycheck didn't do the exact same thing, take a wild guess why. Their record margins are literal…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sorry, we just don’t have any budget for raises this year” - said literally every year since 2020

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centrists have such a Hard Choice.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always considered myself a centrist. Of course, over the last 15 years the one side has become so damn batshit crazy it looks like I’m a party line voter simply based on my voting record.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Dangers of Socialism they warned us about...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like the problem is authoritarianism, not the economic system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't politicians during a hearing let the person they are questioning actually answer questions and speak?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s all about getting the sound bites of them speaking/sounding tough for their campaign. Not getting to the truth of the matter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It would help prevent spammers and bots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What stats? Share your sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What National Park (or local equivalent) has the best mass transit system?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a guy on YouTube who has a series where he travels to different national parks (and other places) via mass transit. It’s pretty fascinating, generally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like gun violence is a symptom of larger sociological issues…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Local Public Tennis Court Requires Online Registration⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when I was in high school and on the tennis team, we had practice on a public court. Someone had laid on the net or something because it was all stretched out and saggy. It basically became unusable for playing tennis since it drooped all the way to the ground. I imagine this system would have prevented it.

  I would complain about the secondary login with the private company though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Were you sick any time before the onset of this? It sounds like the some of the symptoms of long COVID or chronic fatigue syndrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually it’s the smoke that gets them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, the more pay the easier the job

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a space Alien landed in the states. And hooked up with one of his or her fellow travelers and had a kid in the US would that kid be a US citizen? Or do we have something in place for it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My dog was born in the US and I’m pretty certain he isn’t considered a citizen. There are billions (if not trillions) of individuals born in the US every year who aren’t citizens because they aren’t humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why it is that in the USA for most people the default color for a casual sock is white but in most other places the default is black?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re still doing separate loads based on color? I thought that was a thing of the past…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone ever actually had their vehicle tabs stolen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never heard this in my life. It never even occured to me someone might steal them!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that the MK Ultra program actually shut down?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course.
