Not the biggest issue but I feel like "pee in peace" isn't necessary. People peeing aggressively and wanting to be seen is pretty rare. I feel like "in peace" should be assumed as default.

I read your comment and I feel you. I have a little advice.

First a but about memI "left" reddit for the same reasons. Left is in quotes because I was permanently banned because I argued with a major mod. Specifically I said after they banned me from a sub "ouch ouch ouch, sorry sprained my ankle tripping over 3 identical communities" to which they replied "don't message me again" and I of course did with a "or what? You'll silence me? That's not very intimidating"

Anyway my point is this:

There's no point in arguing with stupid people.... But if you are going to I recommend being dismissive or different. They are prepared for aggression they can't handle being dismissed. It really messes with bigoted people especially.

An example from my life

Guy at the gas station to me: can you believe the cashier is speaking Spanish? This is America lol

Me: it's 7 o'clock in the morning. Can you save the racism until after breakfast please.

An example of "different " would be this

I live in Orlando, we have Nazis who protest. I LOVE to walk by and say to a random one "you don't look good bald. You're heads too boxy to pull it off"

It fucks with them more than yelling I promise you lol. They aren't expecting that kind of thing.

What time is it?

Please be pedantic. I enjoy it. That isn't sarcasm, I love a good "technically...."

Yes you're right. It is fun to think about tho.

Yes you're right. It's just something I like to think about.

I read this once before and it's one of those facts I find endlessly fascinating. It's simple and obvious why it wasn't normal before recent times...

It just scratches my nerd fact itch I guess.

It's right up there with

  • social security numbers were promised to never be used as essentially your "human number" for things and would only be used for ss benefits

And

  • minimum wage WAS designed and WAS intended to be a livable wage. It very specifically was proposed and made law with the point being it's the lowest wage which a person can support themselves. People saying "minimum wage isn't supposed to be livable wage!" Are wrong.

Oh and

-we see the color that is not absorbed by an object. So essentially we see every color the object ISNT.

"If you think the point in life is to be happy and live long I can see how you'd be confused"

Not sure where I heard it but I think of it often.

I'm a father and I think of god the same way I think of being a parent. I want my kids to learn things and I want them to return home and tell me about it.

I saw a post in atheism mostly about this. I decided not to post. I don't believe in forcing my views on other people who clearly didn't ask for them.

It's the best system money can buy.

Ill assign one

Man: Baltic wars (you are anti Baltic I don't know what that means but you'll figure it out)

Women: supernatural fanfiction (you are Dean + Castiel)

Other: Titanic (movie, history, or both. Your choice)

Unfortunately my decision is final. Enjoy your new interest

That cracked me up lol

I'm not nonbinary but my son just calls me Michael.

 

How does the smell affect your life, how do you deal with it, do you have any stories.

Im a trivia nerd and sometimes facts connect in an "oh no" kind of way.

Today the fact of "smell is the strongest scent tied to memory and emotions" hit the fact "pigs are very close in alot of ways to human tissue"

That leads to the "oh no"

Its got to be difficult entering after a terrible fire and smelling food, possibly even remember you nyanas famous pulled pork.

Sorry to be gruesome but that's what I'm asking about.

How do you put that aside? Do you get sick when Nana makes what used to be your childhood favorite?

I couldn't deal with that, the thought alone shook me. How do firefighters deal with that? Do family members change meal plans if you had a bad situation that day? Do some firefighters become vegetarians? Is it something you kinda just get over after a couple times?

 

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

 

I don't want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I've seen advertised and tried out... Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:

"Let's change the subject. Maybe this picture will help" blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall

And I'm like "no... If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn't be talking about this subject. I'm not at all interested in $50 AI tits."

I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds "wow, that's crazy" to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I'm not paying $50 a month lol.

 

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
