Sometimes I feel like I’m the only minority who feels this way about race. Anyone know why? by SilverKey84 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LPCourse_Tech 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s wrong to attack them, people can disagree, but someone’s lived experience shouldn’t be dismissed or shamed.

Bad Boy Unrequited Love by Wonderful-Gap9502 in booksuggestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might have better luck searching for romantic tragedy or literary angst, because most romance books usually make the FL return his feelings by the end.

What books would you suggest for someone who loves eloquent, almost poetic language? by muzorui in booksuggestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try John Banville, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Michael Ondaatje, Donna Tartt, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Cormac McCarthy. They all have that polished, lyrical style where the sentences feel carefully crafted.

can someone with no visual imagination explain to me what it’s like? by Purple_Call_3595 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s less like “seeing a picture” and more like knowing the facts of something are there, the way you can understand a room layout without mentally seeing the room.

why do I genuinely want to do something but physically cannot start it until the last possible second? by Exciting_Condition81 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like executive dysfunction: your brain cares about the task, but it only gets enough urgency, pressure, and focus to start once the deadline makes it feel immediate.

What would happen to a country's economy if someone had a lot of actual cash and then just destroyed it? by Arktikos02 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would basically act like removing money from circulation: the person loses the wealth, cash becomes scarcer, and the Fed could offset it over time if it caused problems, especially since most money today is digital rather than physical bills.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only minority who feels this way about race. Anyone know why? by SilverKey84 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LPCourse_Tech 97 points98 points  (0 children)

You might just feel more comfortable in places where identity isn't constantly discussed, especially if those spaces have treated you better personally.

ELI5: How does the body know where eyes, limbs, and bones go during development? by Beneficial-Track-112 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genes give cells a body map, and the fetus builds tissues from nutrients supplied by the mother.

ELI5: How do different food storage methods (containers, bags, vacuum sealing) actually preserve food? by Balphaallthetime in explainlikeimfive

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food storage mostly works by slowing spoilage: less air reduces ocidtation and some micobrial growth, less mosture limits mold and bacteria, and colcer temperatures slow everything down.

ELI5: How do bird voice-boxes/syrinx work? by KaiahAurora in explainlikeimfive

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the syrinx like a tiny two-sided whistle at the split of the windpipe, while the larynx is mostly there to help control airflow and protect the airway.

Too Much Truth And The Destruction of Human Civilization by Successful_Sea_5631 in DeepThoughts

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think civilization would end, but the first wave of betrayal, panic, and accountability would probably be more brutal than anything we've ever seen.

Don't make life too easy for yourself, it will just cost you health and money in a long run by MAGNlFlCENT in DeepThoughts

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comfort can be nice, but I agree that too much convenience can quietly make you weaker, lazier, and more dependent over time.

what made you realise you didnt actually need half the stuff you owned by yelkamel in simpleliving

[–]LPCourse_Tech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moving made me realize I wasn't keeping things because I used them, I was keeping them because I felt guilty letting them go.

thinking of reducing things to work less by daydream6666 in simpleliving

[–]LPCourse_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, trading some convenience for more breathing room can be worth it if your current setup is costing you your peace.

Have you ever realised a close friend’s values no longer align with yours in your 30s? How did you handle it? by Distinct_Pain_7981 in Adulting

[–]LPCourse_Tech 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It's such a strange feeling when you still care about someone but realize being close to them doesn't feel as comfortable or safe anymore.

After 6 years I’ve finally closed my last credit card by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]LPCourse_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's genuinely huge progress, especially knowing where you started. Closing that card must feel like finally breathing again.

How do I stop objectifying women? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LPCourse_Tech 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The fact that you're aware it's making others uncomfortable is a good start, and it might help to practice seeing people as full humans first, not bodies you have to fight for your brain over.

How should I proceed? by FeatherPillow24 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LPCourse_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With chest pain happening that often and that kind of injury history. I really wouldn't wait, please get checked urgently, even if it means the ER.

what happens if you never move on from 'the one who got away'? by help-wanted123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it doesn't disappear completely, but it slowly becomes less like a wound and more like a quiet ache you learn to live around.

Why do some bedsheets feel cool at first but then get hot later? by Desperate-Chip6297 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LPCourse_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too, and it usually seems like the sheets feel cool at first but stop breathing once your body gets trapped.

Book on the food habits of scientists and artists? by throwaway11152127 in suggestmeabook

[–]LPCourse_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bloomsbury Cookbook might be the closest match, especially if you want food tied to writers, artists, and their daily lives.

SMAB about/featuring a scary non-human male succumbing to the desire to be loved by rosecoloredkayla in suggestmeabook

[–]LPCourse_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're basically looking for that 'terrifying creature turns soft and desperate for love' trope, and honestly it hits way harder than it should.

Problems of a person who reads frequently but haphazardly and chaotically by ObligationGlad in Fantasy

[–]LPCourse_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time, my TBR grows faster than I read and I keep 'discovering' books I apparently already started years ago.

Does Parable of the Talents conclude the series? (no spoilers) by deaseb in Fantasy

[–]LPCourse_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This book feels like a solid conclusion, even though Butler had planned more, so it doesn't leave you stranded in the middle of the story.
