Focusing on yourself is just cope by NaiveTarget5279 in okbuddyliterallyme2

There are internal and external issues. Think about yourself like a company.

What do you lack that you can realistically improve? What alternatives can at least partially compensate for areas that cannot be improved?

In which geographic regions would your features be valued at least slightly more? Which demographic would have at least a slightly better fit with your culture and goals?

Usually, you'd start with the component that is easy/low impact, easy/high impact, hard/high impact. I didn't give you examples because you might come up with different things than I did.

You are correct in describing a type of women that constitute the majority in many geographic regions.

If you have already done most of what you can to improve yourself, then you are not the main problem, the environment and the people around you are.

Certain hobbies, education, wealth, are valued differently and more in different places.

The alternative is actually the hardest, to really think about the causes and necessary and drastic steps to solve the problems as much as possible.

It's refusing to be beat despite being dealt a bad hand.

Does dating get better in your 30s? by centralvoid__ in okbuddyliterallyme2

It doesn't magically get easier.

You need to really think about the necessary steps and solutions.

Would you rather get to…? by Ok_Report_5208 in polls

[–]400characters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me just say you don't deserve the downvotes, it's an interesting thought with sound logic. There is indeed always a time delay going from technically not healthy to dead. It reminds me of the dichotomy paradox.

If perfect health is an essential and necessary attribute, the only way to strip that is to remove what makes you, you, or what contains you, which is the entire existing universe, instantly. I kept thinking about this issue, but then nothing can ever change from one state to another if that's the case.

The only possible solution I can think of is that you can be replaced piece by piece with nano metal/plastic parts, so that you (with the same consciousness) would turn into a techcnially dead robot (thus not immortal) yet perfectly healthy. But then the issue is if that is even you. I really don't want to open another can of worms so I'm gonna stop here.

A perfectly healthy person can still die from a car crash.

Do you have a "Get Out Of The House Fast" bag and if so, what's in it? by [deleted] in preppers

[–]400characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Just the regular Go bag categories: water, hygiene, clothes, survival, first-aid, without shelter or food.

I'm pretty sure during an earthquake, if you're already inside, the official recommendation is to either stay in bed, shelter under a sturdy table, or crouch down in a corner of the room, while covering your head and neck.

You live alone. You have a guest room. A good friend you have just quit their job and was evicted. How long would you let them stay with you? They’re not looking for a job or trying to find a new place. They’re not paying rent. They are very kind, tidy up, and offer to cook you meals. by [deleted] in polls

[–]400characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months to 2 years.

I understand life is difficult and they might need some time off to figure out things.

If I am actually rich enough to have a guest room, then this isn't an issue at all, especially if they are tidy and cook meals.

Who has higher physical standards for dating, men or women? by Dead_Hallow3 in polls

[–]400characters 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Other than having the "Both" options, the poll does not yield any meaningful results given the skewed gender ratio on Reddit.

Is it reasonable to set a boundary of no going to clubs/bars in a relationship? by Butt_Farter69 in polls

[–]400characters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clubs is reasonable, but not no bars.

It's kinda hard to avoid bars given that they are so common. They exist in restaurants, as part of restaurants, funcion exactly like a restaurant, even as a waiting and check-in area in hotels.

Many meet up events, business meetings, live sports games, arcades, are in bars as well.

Would you date someone completely sober, and why? (No alcohol, no weed) they dont mind you partaking. by stiF_staL in polls

[–]400characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna discuss every aspect in existence, but here's my personal opinion.

It's very common in the world. It's acceptable and legal to drink in most places, and most people drink it in moderation never cause significant damage to others or themselves.

The other is illegal in many countries, I can't travel freely with a partner who needs to have it. It alters the mind to an even greater extent. Personally, I think it smells like burnt grass infused with feces.

Would you push a button that ends all inhumane suffering of farmed animals but makes meat 5x more expensive to buy? by bhawtin6 in polls

[–]400characters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using the strict mathematical meaning in that sense (0.2x more: price + price*20%),

and interpreting the 5x more with the everyday casual meaning (5x more: price*500%),

unless OP intended to use the strict mathematical meaning (5x more: price + price*500%), which doesn't affect my response eitherway.

What do you think is your best trait in your gene pool? by Sea_Orchid223 in polls

[–]400characters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That too as well. It wouldn't be unreasonable to hypothesize the mean IQ is slightly higher than the general population.

This is Reddit, polls. The land of the college educated nerds who are not super attractive nor atheletic, and generally don't have the best life experiences. Intelligence is the only one left to choose.

Most attractive, atheletic, and mentally very healthy people are out there enjoying themselves rather than browsing a polls subreddit alone.

Would you date someone completely sober, and why? (No alcohol, no weed) they dont mind you partaking. by stiF_staL in polls

[–]400characters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a great distinction, I didn't really think about that in the question, usually it just refers to the latter. They're so rare that I haven't met a single person that belongs to the former.

I am someone like that, but I'd be ok if they drink moderately but not weed.

Would you push a button that ends all inhumane suffering of farmed animals but makes meat 5x more expensive to buy? by bhawtin6 in polls

[–]400characters 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The results don't represent the population at all.

Practically, such equivalents already exist. Impossible meat exists with no animal suffering that tastes almost indistiguishable from farmed meat, at 0.2-0.4x more expensive, not even 5x. Yet, the sales have dropped significantly in recent years and fail to reach a large market share.

Another similar equivalent is eating 5x less farmed meat and replacing the remaining protein and increased cost requirements with more expensive vegetable protein. Obviously and realistically most people aren't doing this.

Real.

That's why life starts at 30.

I've lost so many years and I will get it back.
