I understand a fantasy and a one time thing like tipping on a guys night out at a strip club, but some of these guys think they are in a relationship with someone they will never meet and don’t even know their real name or life details.
This occurred to me while listening to the news. When they exchange people it’s always hostages for people held in Palestine and prisoners for people held in Israel. Why is that? Is it just perception or is there a practical difference?...
Background for myself, I was a viewer when Good Burger was a sketch on “All That,” a children’s sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. It was basically Saturday night live for kids.

Those problems don’t matter. All my problems are so insignificant, there are little. They’re just some stupid first world problems. I...
I have a few consoles setup on my desk and I think it would be neat to be able forgo switching inputs on my monitor....
Rational replies only, please.
This is something on tvs and even PC monitors/speakers that’s left me a little confused. Sliders/incremental input are okay for basic settings adjustments, but if you know exactly what you want your settings at…Why isn’t there a direct number input option on more devices?...
Will they finally accept that the Earth is round, or will they say that it’s fake and the windows on the space stations are monitors?
I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I’ve used for a while. The coating on them says “Teflon Innovations without PFOA”. Recently I’ve noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off....

didn’t we all grow up needing to be secretive? is it because of the adage of how ‘everyone thinks women are hot’ so like even straight women would get turned on more by their own moaning?...
Some context: So far all I’ve done has been passively watching game design analysis type videos as well as Unity implode on itself without really jumping into gamedev. I only got inspired rather recently to take the dive....
Like, seriously, why? Are they allergic to have their own brand or something?
