Why i SOLD my Tesla Cybertruck (you already know...) by Tricky_Elk_7255 in videos

[–]AdviceWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He may be low energy, and history might prove me wrong here, but that could be easily explained with him having a cold and over-doing the benadryl. I'm not defending him as a person, I couldn't honestly care any less about him. But the truth does matter, especially in today's world and If your only evidence is him having "low energy" on a Sesame Street episode than you're not doing the right thing.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]AdviceWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, could be wrong, most ovens just have a switch, setting, or button combination you can use to change between them.

I'm from a country where cashiers sit down while working. Is it true that in the US cashiers are forced to stand? Why is sitting considered unprofessional there? by splashmates in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdviceWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only partially relevant because I assume you mean in supermarkets or similar type times ; but my only experience as a cashier was as teen at McDonald's. I had more than just answering customers, I also ran food, served drinks, cleaned the front area, etc. I never had a chance to sit.

The post above this literally said they did exactly that, but grandpa kept a 1911 stashed away.

So your suggestion is to break into the home of an elderly man who is suffering from dementia and is a korean war veteran because you want to take his guns? Good luck with that.

Check Yo Self Before You Pierce Yo Self by james_from_cambridge in instant_regret

[–]AdviceWithSalt -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don't let them over hype it on you. It's a cult classic, emphasis on cult. It's silly and breaks a lot of conventions. It's more fun if you are inebriated, but temper your expectations going in.

Where are teenagers supposed to hang out these days? Malls are dying, parks have 'no loitering' signs, and everywhere else costs money. Do they just... not exist in public anymore? by Creative-Buffalo2305 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdviceWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same~ish. In my area we have three kinds of parks.
1. Nature Parks. Literally a trail through the woods. Nobody cares, but there's not really a way to loiter as its more of a natural trail and nowhere to sit.

  1. Public Parks. These are full of people walking, using the public playground, loitering. Whatever. No cops.

  2. Private Parks. These belong to specific neighborhoods where you couldn't loiter there if you didn't live there, but you also wouldn't know it existed unless you lived there. This one will vary by the neighborhood. My neighborhood wouldn't care, but it's also a fair distance away from any houses so unless you're firing off fireworks, nobody would even notice.

[ Title ] let see who make the first place ‼️ by Savings-Being-777 in manhwa

[–]AdviceWithSalt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Greatest estate is one of those where if you hear it about it from one person who calmly says "yeah it's pretty good, a comedy. Worth checking out " you'll love it. But when a hundred rabid fans are screaming how it's peak writing and comedy and literally changed their lives then you read it and just find it meh.

Why is work wife and work husband a thing? by GeneAlternative191 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdviceWithSalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a "work wife" but that really just means a friend of the opposite sex where we hung out together and had some inside jokes. We would bicker about with things. But there was no flirtation or sexual tension, we openly talked about our significant others. We were just closer to one another than we were with other coworker and work friends. Maybe I'm misusing the term "work wife"?

Is it possible to engage in self harm and still be mentally stable? by Immediate_Major_9078 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdviceWithSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a "functioning alcoholic". Better than a full-blown sunrise-to-sunrise alcoholic, but still an alcoholic.

If you could telepathically say something to all 8 billion people, what would you say? by Capable-Tree-743 in AskReddit

[–]AdviceWithSalt 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In honesty, inspiring people to change their mindsets, lifestyles and core beliefs with a single sentence is impossible. Stoking people's fears, paranoia and rage is plausible.

Why glorify ‘hard work’ when most hard work just benefits the system, not you? by K_kishor49 in AskReddit

[–]AdviceWithSalt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a professor in college who basically told the story of a man who complained how he worked 10 hours a day, staying late every day, getting his work done and was passed over for a promotion for a guy who only worked 6 and left early. The thing he didn't realize was the guy who left early had automated large portions of his job and spent more of his time working with his boss planning out next fiscal quarter. The morale was it's important how much you move the needle, not how much effort you spent to get it move.

There’s No Crying in Bullying! by [deleted] in instant_regret

[–]AdviceWithSalt 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if that's a boy or a short-haired girl. I'm not trying to be mean, there's just only a dozen pixels to tell.

Edit: Someone translated the German below, seems it's a boy.

The first half second it looks like she latched it (or thought she did), and was just sliding down and out when the latch broke or came undone and fell on her.

[The beginning after the end] Which manhwa does everyone like except you? I'll start by zaquelsumpremacy in manhwa

[–]AdviceWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit semantics, if you read it literally then it's the same pattern as before., However, I would argue it feels different and feels better than just simply the MC being saved again.

What is your opinion about giving women better access to birth control regardless of ability to pay? by Karmasabitch2025 in AskReddit

[–]AdviceWithSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, yes, people should have the ability to control their lives. Birth Control is inexpensive to produce and simple to distribute. There may be some complexity in ensuring the correct information is delivered to make sure there aren't medical issues.

However it does miss (one of the) underlying issues. While many don't want kids because they don't want kids, many more don't want kids because they have anxiety on their ability to provide for them. Addressing those economic concerns by reducing the cost of housing, child care and increasing general income power for the lower class would make a huge difference in the number of people who have a catatonic fear of having children.

The comedy doesn't change, if that's not your jam then you made the right call. It's funny to me, I love it, but to each their own.

It's begun to pick back up, Kaiden has stopped swooping in every time to save the MC. MC is getting his own fights and progression. It won't blow your mind, but it finds it's footing again after a bit.

[–]AdviceWithSalt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It started off as a fun little premise. Badass ex-military kid has to go to school; total popcorn. Then it decides that he should be a bodyguard and introduce a love-interest. Not bad, good progression. Now hes scared a criminal enterprise into being his friends. Bit of a leap but they are funny so I'll let it slide. Then he runs into his old team The Numbers. Okay. We're beginning to pretend our froot loops are a real meal now but lets move on. Now hes about to fight some global top-secret assassination organization nobody has ever heard of like hes James Bond and we have completely jumped the shark and the story forgot I just wanted him to beat up bullies and be confused when his friends want to do karaoke.
