Buying neices and nephews Christmas presents?
At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state.

Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts?
I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.
Is there any way to open a pop can stealthily?

Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase?
Is the discrimination worth it as a deterrent? Or is it just to save the instance companies $$$?
Why does juicy juice not have sediment, and exactly how do they do it?
Juicy Juice among other brands touts “100% juice” however if you leave it undisturbed for months on the shelf it never seems to develop any sediment. How can they be 100% juice and not have any solids? What exact process are they using to remove all the sediment and or perfectly homogenize the liquid? You will notice other...

Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better?
So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes....

The only commonality I can see between Indian culture and Chinese culture (in terms of beliefs) is Buddhism, is it because of this...

It took me 16 years to figure out why I hate a Journey song. What song did you hated until you figured out why?
I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…...
