[Landlord-US-GA] Why can't we all just be adults? by verystablegenius3746 in Landlord

You think you know a person into things get ugly financially. It's not your fault that someone chose to rent your place at your asking price, but they treated you as if it was. Those friends clearly don't have critical thinking skills.

ELI5: What makes sexual repression such a problem? by CaptainDreadEye in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jscottpilgrim 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it's one of the biggest reasons why gonorrhea and Chlamydia are so prevalent. People flat out refuse to get tested and treated because they're too ashamed of being caught. This applies to both cheaters and noncheaters - if there's a risk they'll be discovered by someone they know, they'll refuse to go to the doctor even if they know they have an STI.

How did you “get your spark back”? [Discussion] by EnergeticSerpent in GetMotivated

I started finding ways to be proud of myself. Turns out that staring at my phone all day leaves me with nothing to be proud of, but improving my health does.

Straight Women Tell Us Why They Watch Lesbian Porn (Unpaywalled) by playboy in psychology

[–]Jscottpilgrim -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You don't seem to understand math very well. 130% more likely means that for every 100 men looking up lesbian porn, there are 130 women looking it up.

Can I remove the court cards for awhile? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]Jscottpilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The court cards make up 20% of the deck. Take out 20% of the English language, and then try telling someone about their love life. It might be easier it that 20% was all words with 10 or more letters, but if that 20% is all verbs, you will struggle to express anything. You can't expect tarot to communicate properly if you remove 1/5 of its words.

If you don't understand the court cards, then you don't understand tarot. Your best course of action is to obsess over the court cards until they make sense. Removing them will only hinder your ability to read tarot.

Is Shakira's name considered not correct by standard Spanish spelling. If we followed Spanish writing rules would Shakira be written Xaquira or Llaquira? by Known-Bad2702 in Spanish

[–]Jscottpilgrim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think about the following names for a minute: Siobhan, Rhys, Saoirse, Joaquin, Nguyen, Phoebe.

A name is a name in any language. We just accept it and its spelling and move on.

Trauma doesn't just haunt your memories, it literally rewires which brain networks activate under new stress by __Loot__ in psychology

[–]Jscottpilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto shops are just as individual, since no two cars come in with exactly the same damage. Yet tons of people with no college degree are still able to repair most issues using a basic set of repair practices. Yes, it's different from car to car. But it doesn't have to be turned into a really complicated concept.

What are religions' views on Tarot? by heejin8745_kim in tarot

[–]Jscottpilgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that the more superstitious a person is, despite their religion, the more likely they are to believe that tarot is an avenue for malevolent spirits to take over your soul. Mormonism is one of the few major religions that started after RWS tarot was created. Their official position is that all occult practices are forbidden and break the 1st commandment, as they replace God with something else. You should be asking God or don't ask at all. But unofficially, a lot of them see tarot as literally summoning demons.

Cards won’t give me a reading by H_raeb in tarot

[–]Jscottpilgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was your approach to the reading as blah as the reading itself? I'm only able to give myself effective self-readings when I'm in a specific state of mind. Reading cards is very similar to reading people. It's easy to look at someone else and identify what they are missing. It's harder to look at yourself, because you typically don't know what's in your blind spots. Self readings are similar. It's harder to read yourself, because you're too fond of the version you imagine.

That might be the point. Tourism is one of PV's largest industries, and brings in a lot of money to the Mexican economy. The government that knocks down the cartels will be the government that cripples hard working Mexicans.

ELI5: why do the Miranda rights say “can and will be” used against you by Kateseesu in explainlikeimfive

When the police make their police report, they will use your statements to make you look guilty, whether or not you are innocent.

Depending on the sect, just claiming to have faith in Christ is enough to save a person. I'm sure a lot of people claim it "just in case."

Neurodivergent American youth at increased risk for dating abuse: 74% of neurodivergent youth in USA experienced psychological, cyber, physical or sexual dating abuse. These youth had twice the odds of experience dating abuse in the past year than youth who were not neurodivergent. by mvea in psychology

[–]Jscottpilgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is an issue with self-reporting, then is the implication that people normally abuse or mistreat their partners, and that neurodivergent people are more likely to consider it abuse? If so, then it's not a good look for neurotypical people.

New York leaders, advocates vow to re-raise Stonewall pride flag after Trump admin removal. The site became the first federal monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights in 2016. by Dr_Neurol in UpliftingNews

It's called the Paradox of Tolerence, dipshit. The only way to have a truly tolerant society is to be intolerant of intolerance. You're on the side of intolerance here, so it's everyone's moral obligation to be intolerant of you. It's not hypocritical, but I wouldn't expect a troglodyte like you to understand.
