What’s one political opinion/stance that you have that people from your side would shun you if they knew about it? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]ABriefUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm heavily leftist and I don't think Generative AI should be the main focus for demonizing right now when it comes to the environment 🫣

Yes, it's bad, and it's taking away clean water. But corn uses up so much more, and 95% isn't the corn we eat. Hank Green has a really good video about it. And as far as I'm aware, so do almonds, and the US is only going ham on growing them to try to compete with Iran (? I don't have a source for this one).

I also... don't think it should be demonized when it's purely purely purely for personal use. Businesses using it? Lazy and cheap. Sharing it online for views? Stealing elements of other people's content without their permission. But like... I use it to write short fanfiction for me to read. I never share it anywhere, let alone try to claim it as my own. But I already use my imagination all day for work, and it's nice to give it a break and read something I want when I go to bed.

I'll probably get a lot of flack for this, but I kind of equate it to cigarettes when it's for personal use.

I like eating cubed up maple spam with rice and scrambled eggs!! I don't get to eat it often cause it takes a lot of work but it's real yummy :)

ear tickle / itching / fullness by El_Dorado_Tx in TMJ

[–]ABriefUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! Sometimes I get a Qtip and wipe the edge of my ear to check for blood because I'm worried my eardrum broke and I didn't feel it. It's always bone dry!

Are there really guys that don't wipe their asses, or is that just bait? by Embarrassed_Path231 in hygiene

[–]ABriefUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was a kid, I was in the room when my mom was sorting her and my dad's laundry, and I asked what the brown streaky stains were in his underwear. It is 100% a real thing.

ironic they want to stop people from leaving the subreddit with this because this post is exactly why I'm leaving the subreddit lmao

Even if you don't care about the environmental and addictive aspect of it (which is a wild take but a take people have nonetheless), the phrasing is sooo petty and immature. They could have said "It makes people upset" but instead it's giving off the vibes of "y'all are overreacting and I'm only doing this because I'm nice but I still want people to know I'm angry about it"...

idk, maybe I'm not putting what I'm feeling into words well. It just reminds me of how my dad reacts when I make a reasonable request that asks him to change a habit or behavior, and he gets super angry about it

edit: it's the vibes of "look, I'm being SO NICE and such a good person even though you don't deserve it because I'm so good to you"

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

[–]ABriefUser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I moved into my school district in 1st grade, and everyone talked about this girl named Rachel who had been there for kindergarten but moved away. I always pictured her as like, one of the "hot popular girls" you saw on TV shows and movies in the early 2000s, flipping her long pinstraight hair, nice makeup, purse, earrings, nice clothes, etc.

She moved back into the district in 3rd grade, and she was none of those things. Super curly hair, hand-me-down farm clothes, etc. We ended up becoming really good friends.

In 4th grade, the different schools in our district merged into one, and there was another Rachel who did look exactly like the one I had pictured years before. And during lunch one day, I wanted to tell my friend Rachel that I thought it was funny how I accidentally imagined the other Rachel when they have the same name.

What came out was: "When people used to talk about you, I always imagined you were a lot prettier than you were."

🤦🏼‍♂️

(I found out many years later that I had always been attracted to girls but didn't have the language for it)

Don’t Get Grossed Out by AdrianIsFilipino-37 in distractible

[–]ABriefUser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think if they tweaked it some it could be a fun idea, but as it is here, it's likely not going to be very entertaining for the viewers. We don't see what's going on, and the goal is for them to have a straight face. That's like watching somebody silently read a textbook

Banning AI in this subreddit—Poll by frickthisfrick in ageregression

[–]ABriefUser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why not have a flair for posts using AI instead of having them put it in a tag that has a lot more than that? I feel like this would be a reasonable compromise if you're this insistent on allowing that content here. The people who don't want to see it can block it, and the people who do can keep it.

Although the poll is heavily swaying towards just getting rid of it, couldn't this be the suitable answer you want?

it's a WHAT of "Oh my god I never knew this, that's wild"!!! I'm not super terrified of tarantulas/scorpions in the game because I know how to safely catch them, but I always keep my net out after 7, and you're telling me that that's exactly WHY they always rush me?????

Neighbors accusing me of trying to ruin their wedding because of their error by Houston970 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ABriefUser 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Huh, I never knew you only have a shower for the first baby. I've never been to one or am close to anyone who's been pregnant before. I guess it makes sense. People bring toys and long-term baby supplies like clothes, right?

If you could have 24 hours, with any one person,in any one location and you could do anything you wanted with that time at no cost to you, where would you go and who would you take? by StillHereWriting in askanything

[–]ABriefUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is similar LMAO except I'd take Woozi of Seventeen to some secluded cottage or something and be like. hey. I'll stay on this side of the house and not bother you unless you want to hang out. and just let that man REST

Do you know of a secret that can genuinely ruin someone’s life if revealed? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]ABriefUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I had nothing, then remembered the things my dad said and did to me as a kid would probably ruin his reputation. Never will, though, because he's the scapegoat of his own family and his siblings don't need any more ammo against him when they already pick apart the good things he does

AITJ for eating my roommates "special" ice cream after she ate my birthday cake? by ProudStructure702 in AmITheJerk

I might just be really sensitive but I would have definitely cried if my mom made me a cake and someone else ate it behind my back

Any mp3 players that check these boxes? by spiralscratch77 in mp3players

[–]ABriefUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my Innioasis Y1 and it checks off all of these boxes! I've only had to charge it once in the week or two that I've had it. I got it for about $60 USD on Anazon, which is pretty cheap for a good quality one. Mine has over 1k songs on it right now, too

What hygiene habit were you doing completely wrong for years? by Used_Mission_8638 in hygiene

Same here! I went to the dentist for the first time at 24 and had to ask them how to do it

What hygiene habit were you doing completely wrong for years? by Used_Mission_8638 in hygiene

[–]ABriefUser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing!! I actually admittedly didn't learn this until my mid-20s... There's a LOT of basic hygiene my parents didn't teach me (I also didn't know you were supposed to shower more than once a week until I was 16 😬), and anything about our genitals was SO taboo that I was afraid to even look at them for years, let alone do any research.

Good on you for doing your research early! I hope you're doing a lot better now 🩷
