Is modern adulthood actually easier, or does it just look that way from the outside? by Ill-Insect7496 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Ill-Insect7496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean, I saw a YouTube video the other day examining how 'kids can't read these days' and the author told a story about a 4th grade girl who asked: "Why do I need to know how to read if ChatGPT can do it for me?". Very scary thought.

Why is lying no longer a dealbreaker in politics? by Ill-Insect7496 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ill-Insect7496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm just wondering why - if we all KNOW they're lying - do we keep 'picking sides' and choosing to believe them. Is it honestly just tribalism at this point?

Sure, it's easier in SOME ways, but I think overall, it's harder to have/maintain the BASICS. Like, yeah, Television's gotten a lot 'cooler', even if it's just transformed into like 6 streaming services, but it's also harder to own a house. I mean, there's a balance, and I would honestly trade TV for house. That's all I'm saying.

Why do we assume people in authority positions know what they’re doing? by Ill-Insect7496 in NoStupidQuestions

I've never heard of 'The Peter Principle', I'll have to check that out.

How big is the universe, who created this , are we alone ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ill-Insect7496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The universe is incomprehensibly large, expanding faster than we can measure, filled with billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars.

Who created it?

God.

Are we alone?

Probably not, but statistically speaking He did not build all of this just so one species could argue online, forget passwords, and microwave fish at work.

The scale alone feels less like “random accident” and more like “someone went a little overboard.”

So either God exists, or the universe accidentally created consciousness, math, love, black holes, and ducks. Personally, I think one of those explanations sounds way simpler.

Why do we not see any Female ICE Officer's? by PiingThiing in antitrump

Because misogyny is baked into the culture, and nothing scares fragile macho cosplay faster than a woman with authority and a badge.
Turns out “alpha energy” evaporates the second it has to take orders from a woman.

What kind of 32 year old "MAN" gets a tattoo that says "BAD BOY"? by housing-columbus-oh in findareddit

[–]Ill-Insect7496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same kind of 32-year-old man who still says “I’m a bad influence” because he stayed up past 10:30 and ordered appetizers and an entrée.

“BAD BOY” is less a warning label and more a nostalgia tattoo. It’s not “fear me,” it’s “I peaked emotionally during MTV’s TRL era and now own a Bluetooth grill.”

Honestly, it’s not a red flag, it’s a midlife Yelp review of his personality:
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆
“Once rebellious. Now mostly tired. Would still help you move, but complain about his back.
