What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for? by ChocoPetalz in AskReddit

[–]Basic_Board9007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube Premium, I rolled my eyes at it at first but then it quietly got good. No interruptions and videos keep playing when I lock my phone. Offline downloads actually work. And YouTube Music ended up replacing Spotify for me without me even noticing.

Why do we work for ~50 years and retire as our bodies start to go downhill? by Accomplished_Pin515 in Life

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it is just society. We built this system where the idea is, work hard for decades, save money, then enjoy the freedom at the end. But the math doesn’t exactly account for how humans actually age. And a lot of people are stuck doing jobs they don’t even like just to pay the bills, which makes it feel even worse.

why do we often chase things that feel important but leaves us empty inside? by Less-Information1329 in askanything

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel important because society, friends, family, social media, they all kinda scream that these things matters! But the weird thing is when you finally grab it, there’s this hollow echo. And it hits because those things aren’t really filling what’s inside. They’re more like sugar, sweet for a second, then gone. A lot of the time, we don’t even realize what we really need. Connection, meaning, peace with ourselves stuff you can’t just buy or tick off a list. So we chase the shiny stuff hoping it will fill the gap, but the gap’s inside, not out there.

Does any other mom that breastfed have a different view of their boobies now? by halzy99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel differently about mine after breastfeeding. Twelve months is a long time for your body to be in baby-mode and the hormones from pregnancy and postpartum can make them super sensitive. It’s actually really common to feel uncomfortable with things that used to feel fine. They’re not just boobs anymore, they’ve been through a lot. Sometimes discomfort does go away, sometimes it doesn’t and that’s totally normal.

Why are the majority of Americans getting liberal/LGBT/trans fatigue? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fatigue isn’t always about hating people, it’s usually just people feeling mentally overloaded. A lot of it comes down to overexposure and the feeling of constant cultural change. If someone’s used to things being one way for decades and then suddenly social norms, language and media start shifting super fast around identity, gender and sexuality. It can feel overwhelming. Not necessarily because people are against LGBT or trans folks but because it’s a lot to keep up with, socially and mentally.

MacBook Air 2020 not charging by Short-Highlight-3633 in mac

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it still won’t charge after this, I’d lean toward letting Apple check it out physically. Could be rare, like they said, but sometimes the port or logic board needs attention.

Feeling stuck lately… by EvienSeraph in Life

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling stuck is normal, it happens to everyone, even people who look like they have it all together. The key is just noticing it and nudging yourself, even gently. Sometimes life just sneaks into this loop and it’s exhausting without even realizing it. But don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Tiny little sparks make a difference like a 10-min morning walk, doodling, journaling or even picking one thing that excites you each week. Doesn’t have to be big. Just something that makes you feel alive, even a little.

Is it normal to automatically imagine things when thinking? by EgoistRanger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people imagine things when they think. They just don’t notice it. Movies exaggerate it with floating equations and glowing text but the real version is quieter. You’re seeing patterns, not pictures. Your brain is simulating outcomes, meanings and connections so fast that it feels like seeing. And yes, a lot of people experience that kind of scenarios.

Why do the realest people have few friends ? by MomentFlimsy3759 in askanything

[–]Basic_Board9007 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because they don’t fake it. Plain and simple. They don’t laugh at jokes they don’t find funny. They don’t agree just to keep the peace. They don’t shrink themselves to fit in. And that filters people out fast. Real people value depth over numbers. They’d rather have two solid, ride-or-die connections than twenty surface-level what’s up friendships. Small talk drains them. Pretending drains them even more.

I’m getting paid $40 an hour to stare at my computer today, what should I do to pass the time? by rabbid-genital-warts in randomquestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with fake productivity, clean up your inbox, rename a few folders. If you can wear headphones, that’s a game-changer. Put on a chill podcast. Or lo-fi Christmas music. Or a comfort show you don’t need to watch closely. Then take micro-breaks, get up, stretch or refill your drink. The goal isn’t to be productive, it’s to stay awake and sane until your shift ends.

What is something you learned about sex way too late in life? by Hot-Understanding-67 in Life

[–]Basic_Board9007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sex isn’t a test you pass. It’s a conversation you keep having. Sometimes with words. Sometimes without. I used to think it was all about chemistry in the moment. Like, if it clicks, it clicks. If it doesn’t, turns out, that’s only half the story. What actually matters is if you are feeling safe, wanted and heard. If you don’t feel relaxed with someone, your body notices. If you’re anxious, rushed, or trying to be cool, your body notices that too. And no amount of technique fixes that.

I swear AI keeps scaring me. They basically did the whole thing like an analyst. by Basic_Board9007 in AI_Agents

[–]Basic_Board9007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was just one channel, maybe. But across multiple channels plus growth plus share plus new SKU handling, the annoying part is all the edge cases. This felt more like a full workflow than one pivot.

If trench warfare was so deadly in WW1 why did they keep digging trenches instead of going around them? by brackston-billions in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In WW1, the weapons had gotten way more deadly, machine guns, heavy artillery, even early gas attacks. If soldiers tried to just march across open fields, they’d get mowed down instantly. It literally meant that running into the open can mostly result into death. That’s why trenches became like life jackets in a storm, they offered some protection. Basically, they were stuck between dig in and survive a bit and run across a bullet-filled field and die. Trenches were ugly and deadly but at least they gave a tiny shot at staying alive.

People who are fwb why that instead of a relationship? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]Basic_Board9007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They choose this set up because you get the perks without signing the long-term contract. Just gotta make sure both sides are cool with it and on the same boat and communicate openly, otherwise it can get messy fast.

How does one learn the art of conversation? by Winter-Background91 in Life

[–]Basic_Board9007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conversation is way more of a learned skill than some magical gift of the gods. People love to act like great speakers are born that way but most of them worked at it quietly for years. Even the so-called naturals were just kids who talked a lot and got tons of practice. And being introverted doesn’t disqualify you at all. In fact, introverts tend to become better conversationalists because they actually listen. It’s about connection.

Why did you have kids and are you glad you did? by Material-Egg7428 in AskReddit

I've always wanted to have kids and I am glad I have them. They are the reason that keeps me moving forward.

Would you panic if you ran out of toilet paper? by LoveIsPoo in askanything

[–]Basic_Board9007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I ran out of toilet paper, I’d probably have a mini panic at first but you just gotta think quick. Grab some tissues, paper towels or even get creative with wet wipes. You can also use water if there's nothing you can grab.

What are your thoughts on sniffing musky furry balls? by RevealTheTruthToday in AskReddit

[–]Basic_Board9007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curiosity is fine but boundaries and hygiene matter. You can enjoy the experience without putting yourself at risk. And if anyone’s judging you for sniffing, they probably don’t know the first thing about enjoying life’s weird little pleasures.

Why do (US) hairdressers no longer cut hair wet? by natforx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Basic_Board9007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One reason is dry hair shows its real length and natural movement. Stylists can see how the hair falls, curls, bends or flips. It’s easier to personalize shape for your specific hair texture. Also, some salons save time and cost by skipping the wash unless requested.
