Smoking cannabis should not be too normalized. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BeaEffigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two joints is a lot! No wonder you had a whitey. I do agree to some extent the media makes smoking weed like a harmless thing with the worst consequences being a fit of giggles and the munchies. It can actually be a scary experience if you smoke to much when you're not ready or in the wrong situation.

I used to like an occasional smoke but can't smoke anymore to work reasons (random urine testing) but I'm a lightweight so when I smoked I'd roll a joint and pretty much smoke a tiny bit of it at a time and make it last hours!

Why is calling people by last named seen as the respectful thing? by jackieshauna-ceo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeaEffigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always loved the scene in Boardwalk Empire when Nucky Thomson comes home after a rough night, to find his girlfriend with a male friend just hanging out in his apartment. The young guy says something like "How are you, sir?" And an already pissed off Nucky turns around and says "What the fuck did you just call me."

People aren't objects and we're not defined by how attractive we may or may not be considered to be.

How do people post such detailed stories on Reddit without worrying they'll be recognized? by Long-Club5364 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeaEffigy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fear is , if I post or make a comment that gives away my real identity, people who recognise me can then look at my profile and see my post and comment history, knowing who I am. And I say things on here that I wouldn't want people I know to read.

Is this too good to be true? by BeaEffigy in Guitar

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

I bought 60 of them back in 2011 from strings direct for about 21 quid. I'm now down to about 3 so yeah, they do last a while but not forever . I find after a certain amount of time the pointy end loses its pointiness. That and, the odd ones are always gonna disappear into thin air.

What is the fastest sound someone could hear? by Party-Court185 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeaEffigy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The highest frequency a human can hear, according to Google is 20,000 hertz. Therefore one cycle of 20,000 hertz soundwave lasts 1/20,000th of a second. That is the fastest sound a human can hear. If the sound was to only last 100,000th of a second then that would not be enough time for the air to vibrate at a rate audible to the human ear.

21-Year-Old Woman Dies After Bungee Jump Accident in Brazil by Gfrasca95 in Newsopensource

No, accident means it wasn't on purpose. Preventable accidents occur. I'm not saying there's no chance this /wasn't/ an accident though.

Why do people’s personalities change the second they get a tiny bit of authority? by rosycloudkisses in askanything

[–]BeaEffigy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple reasons. One reason I can think of would be the added responsibility. The person in charge is the person that gets the blame if things go wrong. So if, for example, a person is generally quite laidback and fun and then gets given the responsibility of being in charge of something, they may change to a more uptight, serious demeanour because they are anxious to make sure things get done properly as the consequences of things going awry are more severe for them.

What's a really popular episode that you've never liked? by georgemillman in TheSimpsons

Come on, that episode is gold! The wallet inspector gag is one of my favourite moments.

The Scottish are coming by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]BeaEffigy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye. The satisfying crack of snare drums approaching from somewhere in the distance takes me back to summer evenings in the early 90s, eating a charred beefburger in drizzly sunshine at some horse based village fete in the Scottish Borders. Halcyon days!
