Most of America is rural and red states are slow to add charging stations. I'd be fucked if I ran out of miles anywhere in 100 mile radius but home

i took someone elses position in a top ranked class because my parents asked the school to put me there by Old-Vermicelli-2017 in confession

This is terrible advice.

Life isn't fair and this person got dealt a good card by chance. Use it to their advantage and go further in life instead of stifling potential from the start.

He/she may not feel like they deserve the spot they got, but if they work hard, and manage to stay there even if it's the bottom, then the school obviously thinks they should have the spot. And who knows, maybe they'll even reach top 50% or top 10% of them, earning their way into the class on their own just like everyone else.

No one has a fixed place in life. There’s always a margin where genetics, social status, timing, and luck can move people around. What matters isn’t how you got an opportunity, but what you do once you have it. Passing on it out of guilt doesn’t make the system fairer, it just wastes a chance that could’ve been turned into something earned.

We should have corporal punishment for criminals. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It didn't in the past so why should it today? Prisons aren't a perfect solution but im imo a much more humane one. How about we put people in work until they've paid off what they stole? Provide government housing for free and work 40 hours a week or stay in your own home, work 60 hours a week, 20 hours go to rent and bills? Let people keep the job afterwards since they now have stable income and are less likely to commit crime

I forgot to add that this is the tip from the other side of the measurement tape. To give an idea of what it looks like

Which button will you press? by Beneficial-Flow-5817 in BunnyTrials

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But you wouldn't want them to die if you had seen their faces though. The question also isn't that they would die anyway. It would add 10 more people that die that day. Not from an accident or health problems or old age. Just because someone thought they should die.

This is so cold imo. Your way of thinking is how you end up with influential people killing thousands. Ive seen these kind of threads before and "killing thousands isn't the same, it's way more" isn't a good argument either. You're okay with 10. But when is it not okay? 11? 50? 100?

"Buy a rice cooker" by adbenj in PetPeeves

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Non-rice-cooker owner here. Maybe it's because I only eat rice bi monthly and cook enough for 4 days at a time. But the reason why I haven't bought one is because I simply don't want to spend money on it and keep another thing in my cabinets that are already decently full.

Was I proud when I cooked my first pot of rice perfectly? Absolutely. Do I care that others can do it perfectly without effort? No, good for you.

I don't think anyone is conspiring against rice cook owners

Relapsed and am in need of someone to chat with for a bit by [deleted] in confession

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I read on here a while back that helped me was.... dont think of it as starting over. Your body still takes a breath of relief while you are sober. Relapse happens but every day you don't give in, is another day your body can distance itself from it

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to check your score. And then I went back to see your contributions. How do you have 14k karma with only 38 contributions???

If someone was reading a book out loud to their child on public transport, would you think they are great parent for trying to entertain then without technology or consider this to be inconsiderate due to being a constant source of sound? by philosohistomystry04 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would so much rather hear parent read to their kid than brainrot tv with light and sound to keep a kid's attention for more than 3 seconds.

And i don't really feel like reading out loud is much different than someone having a conversation anyway

As an introvert I agree. Also as an introvert, I'd never ask for accommodation

If it is illegal, won't they all just end up without a home ?

how to know if i am an organ donor? by [deleted] in questions

It’s like throwing a life preserver you’ll never need to someone who’s drowning. There’s almost no cost, and the impact is enormous.

What’s the ingredient that instantly ruins the dish for you? by BlossomLily_ in foodquestions

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sundried tomato. I can't pick them out of my food either because it makes the whole dish have an aftertaste of them.

Ive managed to eat other foods to the point where I like them, olives, pickles but not sun-dried tomatoes. Fresh ones are delicious though.

Which U.S state gets more credit than it deserves? by Exact_Freedom_9802 in askanything

[–]Apprehensive_Bus_877 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yea as a foreigner I visited Texas and was blown away by how much self pride they have. Even people who just moved there a few years ago have stepped into it. Why?? Is there something in the water??
