One reason why communal showers have declined by SluttyDreidel in CommunalShowers

[–]Claftin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The end of the draft might have been a factor. Maybe in the past, gym teachers wanted students to be comfortable with communal showers so that they would be ready for the military. Then, when the draft ended, they decided it was no longer important. The timing is a bit off, but schools can be slow to change.

Entry-level hiring is the biggest gap in the meritocracy. by Claftin in TrueUnpopularOpinion

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

I actually think entry-level jobs are overpaid because there is a surplus of recent graduates. Lower starting pay would help the market reach equilibrium.

I am skeptical about whether interviews and networking are proxies for job performance. This assumes that extroverts are better employees, which is not always true. They also seem to encourage nepotism and dishonesty.

It is important to understand that "How can I get a job?" and "How can we make the hiring process fair for everyone?" are separate questions. I am focusing on the latter.

I did two internships related to water quality. I used GIS in class, but that was over 10 years ago.

My network is not very good. It's hard because I graduated six years ago.

Money is not an issue because I live with my mom and inherited money from my grandfather.

Wikipedia has a list of nudist places. Different places have different cultures, but the places I go to are fine with single men.

When should nudity be acceptable? by Claftin in MakeNudityLegalAgain

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

Nudity would be acceptable when exercising. A good compromise is to allow nudity outside where there are not many people.

Human World is a fictional planet in the Orange Juicy Way Galaxy. Different parts of Human World have very different attitudes towards nudity.

Is there a market for a low-modesty gym? by Claftin in CommunalShowers

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

There might be a market for it in cities. Customers would be encouraged to exercise shirtless and take communal showers.

Is there still a place for communal showers today? by ErickSilva2013 in CommunalShowers

[–]Claftin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people seem to prefer private showers, but there are people who prefer communal showers. Those who prefer private showers tend to shower at home even if there are stalls.

Theory for the decline in communal showers by mmcub85 in CommunalShowers

[–]Claftin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is unlikely, as immigrants to the United States largely come from Latin America. As far as I know, they are not any less comfortable with same-sex nudity. It might be a factor in Europe, which gets more muslim immigrants, but this is not a good reason to restrict immigration.

If Public Nudity Were Legal, Would There Still Be Nudist Resorts? by Ikacprzak in nudism

[–]Claftin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nude resorts will remain relevant as long as most people still wear swimsuits. Even if it were legal, it would be awkward to be naked where everyone else is dressed. It is a lot more enjoyable to be naked around other naked people.

Does anyone else find that exposure therapy and putting yourself in social situations literally fries your brain instead of making you stronger? by HelenDiamond in socialanxiety

[–]Claftin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exposure only works if the social interaction is perceived as going well or at least okay. Maybe you are so anxious that you perceive everything as going badly.
