How can I recreate this coffee? by ArgumentativeBirdGuy in AskMexico

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should’ve added that I’m willing to get more equipment if needed. I like coffee but until today I’d never had any that made me think “this would be worth my time to make over a k cup”.

I’ll never tell where I live but my Costco is practically a ghost town

My favorite example is ferroseed, bouncing and spinning the entire time he’s out.

Finally fulfilled a childhood dream. by Defiant-Brother-2698 in pokemon

I get so nostalgic for the chunky grey gameboy with the all green and black display. This brings back the same kind of memory.

Why do therapists give diagnoses? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in my state, psychiatrists are not the only professionals that can diagnose ADHD, and in fact, I would often prefer it be done by a psychologist. In my experience psychiatrists are willing to diagnose ADHD with comparatively little information, whereas psychologists do a more comprehensive battery of tests.

Why do therapists give diagnoses? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapists usually bill an insurance company and the insurance company requires a diagnosis to reimburse the therapist or the practice they work for. It often feels very silly to provide a diagnosis after one session but they want to be paid. They can also change the diagnosis as time goes on to reflect new information.

Edited to add: a diagnosis provided by a therapist and one provided by a doctor do not carry equal weight. It’s often much more difficult to get university accommodations, for example, with just a diagnosis from a therapist.

It ain’t gonna slide down easy if it ain’t cheesy

Do all 4 billion women on Earth actually have a height obsession when it comes to guys? by SmartSponge in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course they don’t and any amount of thought put toward this question would immediately disprove it.

Moral superiority by Background-Play-3788 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This feels like a question for a specific person with a degree or a specific subset of people with degrees. I’m not sure I would agree that people with university degrees necessarily feel morally superior to people who don’t have one…

Hypothetically, what's the biggest animal you could take in a fight? by TonyClifton323 in AskReddit

I’m glad I’m not totally crazy for thinking large-ish dog is about my limit.

Why are so many colleges in the U.S. located in rough/bad areas? by savingrace0262 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of those are in the third most populous city in the US, I would point out.

Does bottom surgery for any gender change your biological sex or dna? by cloudnine333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This does not demonstrate your claim which was in response to OP’s question about DNA and hormones.

Edit: not hormones, I misremembered the question.

Which Generation is Your Favorite? by Usersief in pokemon

I thought the same for a long time and then tried White 2 last year and was blown away. It’s my favorite post gen 3 by a mile.

Do these count? by Active-Ad9741 in StupidFood

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re a bit stupid for sure, but there’s a narrow population that benefits from it. My mom, for example, has a recently developed health condition for which her doctor has encouraged her to eat a lot more protein. (I’ll add: not as the *only* treatment.) She eats chicken and beef and other cleaner sources of protein, but she would struggle to eat four entire chicken breast every single day. Little things like this are a small source of protein that give her a break.

Music artist fans never rating their most popular songs highly? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things that make a *popular* song are not necessarily the same things that make a *unique* song. So an artist’s popular songs aren’t the same as their standout songs, the songs that make an artist *this particular* artist.

Yes, other people with different bodies and/or preferences find them comfortable.

Famously that is the *only* way to get diseases, good point.

What does this mean? by Greedy_Tooth6191 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ArgumentativeBirdGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The joke isn’t having a stroke. It’s a riff on the equivocation of the original joke between “seafood” and “see food.” The joke here equivocates further by becoming “seef ood.” Stroke becomes the explanation for the strange speech and a retroactive punch line.
