- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 1 day ago:
I mean I’m aware that this isn’t like western dating but it’s still not an arranged marriage. Saying that this is an arranged marriage is like having your parents pick out a hairdresser and calling it a haircut.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
Yes you did, and when you said that, you implied that “arranged marriage” could also mean getting help with dating. You never mentioned dating explicitly, but how else do you think your original comment should be interpreted?
You’re getting personal now, which is a telltale sign for someone who has no arguments for the point they are trying to make.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
so no argument as to why it would actually be an arrange marriage, despite the described scenario not necessarily ending in a marriage?
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
But then it’s still just arranged dating at best. Maybe the parents look for someone who is interested in entering a marriage in the first place, but that doesn’t make it an arranged marriage IMO.
- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 2 days ago:
Reminds me of what happened on a bridge across the Chicago river in 2004
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
I mean, yeah, but what’s the point of calling something an arranged marriage when it’s actually just parents acting as an old school dating app
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
I think there’s still a big difference between getting help when dating and getting an arranged marriage
- Comment on How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food? 4 days ago:
I’m sure there are some managers that would do this but in my experience that would be the exception rather than the norm. Workers usually don’t give a single shit, though.

A power meter is like 10 bucks. If you really want to know, that’s probably the easiest way.
- Comment on How do I use uBlock to hide threads with certain urls? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen ads with ublock on Firefox. Just the reminders that I am using an ad block and whether I could turn it off, pretty please?
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 2 weeks ago:
Because they are forced to spend 50% of their awake time working to make other people rich. I’m sure this would get much better when people get the time to properly concentrate on raising a child and maybe even have time to visit a course on how to be a better parent
- Comment on How much do people still follow media reviews today? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, same. Trailers spoil too much
- Comment on How do I get spell correction for Android? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using openboard for a while now and was pretty annoyed at the lack of multilingual typing, to the point that I turned off autocorrect. Thanks for making me aware of Heliboard!

I agree with the point you’re making. I’d just like to note that the mother doesn’t care for her children because she dies taking care of the eggs. The eggs get attached to a ceiling of an underwater cave, and the mother watches the eggs until she dies of starvation. It is theorized that this happens to prevent the mother from eating her children.

I’d assume it’s because he doesn’t want to hand out free labor.

I’m not asking anything from you. I’m just saying you’re comparing apples to oranges. If there are no apples to compare to, so be it.

Not sure why you’re comparing to the covid tax rebate. That was a one time thing and not something permanent

hmm fair point
- Comment on Where in the world is laptop gaming the most popular? 4 weeks ago:
I think op’s argument is that there is a chance of fucking up building a desktop and having wasted money. Just buying a laptop is a safe route, even if its not necessarily the cheapest.
