Shouldn’t it be the most comfortable temperature? 🤔
I have occasional bathroom issues caused by food sensitivities (damn your delicious yet toxic nature, nacho cheese)....
For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular....
You know roughly where your body is at all times, but where in it is your “self”?...
I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in...
The sidewalks are really dangerous where I am, where they are super uneven, have “artistic” curves, and trees that are overhanging really low so like will hit my body....
Quick edit: If this is considered in violation of rule 5, then please delete. I do not wish to bait political arguments and drama....
I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I’ve seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well....
Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings.

I went to college with this guy 10 years ago and I considered him a friend up until this year. Something changed in him, and he constantly needs to put me down and I don’t know how to handle it....
So this dude is basically a 46 year old man child and I don’t wanna armchair diagnose people, but he’s probably on the spectrum....
There has been a ton of CSAM and CP arrests in the US lately, especially from cops and teachers, along with at least one female teacher seducing boys as young as 12. I cannot understand the attraction to kids. Even teens. Do these people think they are having a relationship, or it is somehow okay to take away another human...
Edit2: It’s a subjective perception I’m talking about. Are you offended? Why?...
Shouldn’t be that hard, right?
Given that racists and slavers used the “natural physical strength” of black people to justify putting them on hard labor and some medics still think that blacks has higher resistance to pain, I wonder if when black athletes started to join mixed race sport teams, some racist would have used the same “biological...
I’m speaking of online data harvested through apps, websites, hardware (such as phones/streaming devices)....
Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?
Businesses are in it for the money, employees tend to be one of the larger expenses, so maintaining some bullshit positions that would cost them money doesn’t make fiscal sense, so what’s up?
It just seems crazy to me given the power imbalance. A cynical part of me suspects that things are playing out exactly as some evil strategists hoped they would, which, given all the children dying, is super-depressing....
