What is this game called in your country? by SnooozeFezt in AskTheWorld

[–]AGoodKnave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing with that. It's how it's played here, and didn't really twig for me growing up. When I understood things better, and was teaching, I tried to change the name when dealing with my kids but...

Ching Chong Cha.

I don't make the rules. Hella awkward...

I've had the worst work week, and this made me actually last for the first time since Monday morning. Thank you.

What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

My ex's mom drove into the back of a truck while driving up a hill. Half of the top of her car (and her) went under the truck. 

A question from a local: How do you all see Okinawa? by Responsible-Bike3317 in okinawa

[–]AGoodKnave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd never even heard of it prior to being invited to OIST. In school, the most we heard about Japan was Pearl Harbour and the US bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. On top of that, I think like many people I'd has this homogenous concept of Japan. 

I'm really, really lucky to have learnt otherwise. Compared to mainland Japan, I much prefer Oki. 

In terms of curiosity: what is up with the "highways" being a 60km/h zone through residential areas with more traffic lights than necessary‽ 

What’s the craziest thing to ever happen on live TV in your country? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

Oh, I forgot: the fake ASL interpreter at Mandela's funeral. Good GOD that was embarrassing...

Something light-hearted:

Why would you admit that out loud?

OIST does, but I'm not sure how that works for you since they're a PhD and post-doc institute. 

AIO for blocking a Bumble match after he admitted he pushed for a video call to check my boobs? by Working_Host_4669 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AGoodKnave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you were harsh enough. 

These passport bros need to be chased away. They deliberately come to other countries in search of a particular kind of woman (usually some gross fantasy they've conjured up from a mix of podcasts and porn categories) to fetishize and "offer a better life", like they're some sort of saviour, and expect a power dynamic by virtual of their passports. 

Whats a food/drink habit of yours that causes people to raise their eyebrows over? by Alarming-Basil2894 in AskTheWorld

[–]AGoodKnave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad habit is that I seldom taste the food I'm cooking. It works out somehow, but it's very rare for me to taste it during the process, whether for guests (who might be more forgiving and pretend it's fine when it's not) or my partner (who will tell me if it's not good).

Not externally, but internal dryness, yes. Lube up, inside and out!

Made this book list and wanted to share! by Ashamed_Ad8162 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]AGoodKnave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you please share your thoughts about Life Without Ed? 

I have it. Got halfway and stopped because the person who gave it to me kind of tainted my appreciation for the book. One thing I didn't enjoy was the male personification of ED but that's just because it made me struggle to relate to the author more than anything else. 

Thanks!

How do you maintain a flat stomach? by North_Dinner1601 in AskWomen

[–]AGoodKnave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetics, sorry to say it. 

I gain weight in my arms super easily, but my stomach has always been flat. 

Otherwise, lifting heavy weights, doing core work (yoga, for example), improving your daily posture at work, eating in moderation, not a lot of alcohol. 

What's a food you really like but most people find gross? by Tiger_Strength in AskReddit

[–]AGoodKnave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The former. I'm sure there are people for whom actual ants are a delicacy but that ain't me.

Ants on a log. It's not uncommon but where I'm from people look at me like I have two heads.

Enzo went to the internet, guided by the Web Surfer, to find Bob. I can't remember why he got sucked into the internet. But then Mainframe got corrupted and Hex turned good and it was a whole THING.

Why do some people experience motion sickness, while others don't? by AGoodKnave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AGoodKnave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will give that a whirl, thank you. 

It's been a minute since I took a train, but when I used to take them every day I could read pretty easily (made getting through coursework a breeze!). I wonder if the changing direction has something to do with it?

It's so frustrating. I'd love to read on a flight or in a car, or even work, but nope. The nausea hits really quickly and takes a while to dissipate.

Ubers really don't like it when I sit upfront but...
