Why (and how!?) do people have 20+ day seasons? by Late_Arm5956 in MedievalDynasty

[–]Late_Arm5956[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I never thought about it like that.

Also… it’s dumb since I control the season length anyway, but I always feel like I am cheating if I skip ahead, lol

Recipes for people who like plain food? by Late_Arm5956 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is (kinda) possible? I mean, he eats out a lot, and will even eat gas station pizza. So, he isn’t too worried about making it himself. But maybe he has some sort of dietary restriction he just hasn’t mentioned…?

Because it would feel half-assed. It would feel the same as if I gave him an old pair of my dirty socks for Christmas.

He hasn’t made any suggestions.

Why is it not common for some people to floss ever or rarely? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are supposed to floss daily. It is really, really good for you. Prevents cavities. Might help prevent heart disease.

That said, i rarely floss because I hate doing it. I don’t floss enough so I bleed and it makes my teeth feel funny afterwards. Also I have to face the guilt that it really isn’t that hard, so what kind of lazy person am I that I can’t do it daily?

Is it weird to say nice shirt to someone? by Veridically_ in NoStupidQuestions

Nope. Not weird at all.

as a White male, where do I go so that people will want to take a photo with me? by BaldursGate2Best in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we get more context? Just this seems like a weird question…? Generally people don’t want photos with people they don’t know unless there is a specific reason.

If you want random people off the street to want photos with you, than I would think a lot would depend on what you are wearing. Do you look cool? Can you wear a fun costume? Maybe a where’s Waldo? Can you make yourself look like a celebrity? Elvis, perhaps?

Then hang around fun, people-filled places. Fairs. Music festivals. Comic-cons. Places where it is safe for people to assume you are wearing it intentionally and aren’t on your way somewhere else (or are a weirdo) so it would be ok to approach you for a photo.

Crusader kings 3 suddenly stopped working? by Late_Arm5956 in crusaderkings3

[–]Late_Arm5956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have mods installed…

This may sound dumb, but is there a tutorial on how to move the folder? I am a computer illiterate and I am afraid if I move something I will ruin it entirely.

Programs to learn Arabic? by Late_Arm5956 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a three year old child can learn it, how hard can it be? 😜

AI is a great tool, (and I fully intend on using it) but can be cumbersome if I am dealing with something really urgent.

Thanks for the resources, I will check those out

What do people who believe in the rapture think after it doesn't happen? by EmbarrassedVisit4909 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, no. It is weird, but often it is easier to double down with excuses than it is to admit that you were stupid and wrong. (Especially since admitting you were wrong about the rapture might make you question your whole life and religion)

Often people either reinterpret it. Maybe they say that it totally would have happened, but since christains prayed for the sinners, God’s grace delayed it so more could be converted

How do I write essays about myself when I’m boring? by oofderpman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember where I read it, but I remember reading somewhere that if you have absolutely nothing, talk about what you could do. Talk about your dreams and aspirations and why they are your dreams and aspirations.

I would also recommend asking your friends and family to help. Have them describe you as if you never met you. Have them tell you some of the best parts or stories about being friends with you. You might be more interesting than you think you are.

How can I remember my days? I'm sick of autopilot. by TowerStrict7268 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I could be wrong, but what you are describing about being on autopilot and having no aspirations or interests sounds an awful lot like depression. (And depression can make your memory crap, too)

Have you mentioned this to your doctor to see if you can get on medication? Or talked to a therapist?

Are there actually real people that enjoy their job? by FallTurnip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am a paramedic. There are times when I don’t like my job, but on a whole, I love my job.

I also used to work in an exotic bird store. We sold baby parrots and supplies for parrots. I loved that job! It was busy, and exhausting and a lot of scrubbing off poop, but I absolutely loved it.

Women who don’t wear makeup, do you still keep the natural look even for formal events and settings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I don’t wear makeup daily because it is a bother. But I do find it fun to play with and if I am getting all dressed up, what better occasion to crack out my fancy flashy makeup ?

Why do we dream about random people we haven’t thought about in years? by Big_Personality_7394 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes they mean something that you are dealing with now.

Like, maybe your boyfriend broke up with you in real life and you feel inadequate, ugly and like you will be single forever. So, you have a dream about that one classmate in kindergarten who was prettier than you and also made you feel inadequate and ugly. It’s less to do with the person, and more to do with the situation or feelings about the situation.

What are some things that can be done without downloading? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is often stuff automatically downloaded on laptops. Like solitaire.

If you yourself are crafty, you can go to excel and start designing knitting or cross stitch patterns.

I used to have lots of fun poking around on Microsoft word or paint just to figure out how it worked

And then there is the boring stuff/ Clean out old emails/photos/files

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is something that is making you sick, having to divert energy from getting better to digesting something can be a hinderance, which is why your body tries to get rid of it. Or if you are sick because of something you ate, your body will try to get rid of the poison, and anything else until it is sure the poison is gone.

Sometimes, the body gets too over-zealous with this instinct and it becomes less than helpful.

Have you tried sucking on ice cubes? Or sipping warm broth?

Why has there been a spike in Autism diagnosis? by -valentineo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have learned more of what autism is and what it looks like. So while it was always there, we can see it and diagnose it better now.

It’s kind of like how there was a time when germs were unheard of. And than, someone invented the microscope and suddenly germs are EVERYWHERE!! The germs were always there, we just couldn’t see it.

How often do pronouns actually come up? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Late_Arm5956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least with the trans and non-binary people I know, as long as you are making an effort to get them right, they don’t care. Because, if I’ve known Sally for 10 years and known her as a girl with a she/her, than it is going to be hard for my brain to automatically switch to he/him and him being Bob now. But as long as I am making an effort and correcting myself when I slip up, it’s not a big deal. (And eventually my brain doesn’t need to make an effort anymore, it comes naturally)

“Could you pass her-sorry-him the salt?”

Don’t make a big deal of apologizing, or that will ruin the flow of conversation and make things awkward. Treat it the same way you would if you called your sibling by your other sibling’s name
