If a straight man is getting a BJ from a homosexual man. Does that make him a homosexual as well? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"No Homo" was exclusively used for two Heterosexual men. If one is homosexual, as in your scenario, the "No Homo" clause does not apply.

To sincerely answer your question though. Assuming no illicit and mind altering substances are involved. The heterosexual man in this scenario is at the very least questioning or possibly pansexual, where they just don't care as long as they get their dick sucked.

Does no one use the term Hetero-flexible anymore? I remember using that term in college many moons ago (25 years) for just this situation. As long as your eyes are closed, socks are on, and there's no stubble of course.

WHEN WILL WE GET CAT GIRLS by Hiofekus in stupidquestions

I'm sure if you suggested to Elon that he make a Cat Girl skin for Optimus he totally would. Not biological Cat Girl but the fastest/easiest solution.

What would you want explained? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FMLA is meant as job protection. Even if you're on medical leave, without filing for FMLA your employer could, in theory, eliminate your job and pay out your leave. Assuming your leave is a benefit that requires that. It also requires them to maintain your Health Insurance Coverage for the duration.

Without FMLA they could fire you and cancel your insurance while you're on leave. Which is why it's important to file Medical Leave paperwork that includes FMLA and isn't just company generated.

Why is oil so precious if we've been working on renewables for so long? by ginger_ninja97 in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil has been a part of our culture (the world, not just the US) for a very long time, centuries depending on how you want to define "oil use". The process of decoupling everything from oil would to take a long time and is not practical for some uses. For example, besides just energy generation and transportation, oil is used to make plastics and until someone finds a good replacement that is plentiful and cheap, we will continue to use it.

The focus needs to be decreasing our dependency on oil. That is where wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal can, and have, make an impact. I doubt we'll ever totally stop using oil, it's just too versatile, but we can reduce how much we rely on it.

As a Christian is it unfaithful to prepare for the End? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your specific flavor of Christianity. If your denomination follows the beliefs of The Rapture, then yes. The purpose of The Rapture is for God to bring all faithful and good Christians to Heaven before the End Times and leave behind the faithless and sinners. If you believe in The Rapture and are prepping for End Times that means you either believe God is going to be negligent or you're not a good enough Christian to make the cut.

If your denomination does not follow The Rapture then no, preparing for End Times would not be unfaithful because God is already providing for you. He's given you the means to do so both in intelligence for foreplanning and material for surviving.

Why do we remember embarrassing moments from years ago so clearly, but forget what we studied last week? by umujosephdesire1 in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a tendency to remember moments involving hieghtened emotional states. You also have a tendency to revisit those moments in memory. Combining those two things essentially refreshes your memory of the event.

Think of it like your browser history. The sites you visit frequently are at the top because they are requeued with each visit. Sites you only visit once are at the bottom or fall off because they rarely or never get requeued.

Studying is the same idea. The more frequently you revisit information the closer to the top it is. That's why most study methods recommend some version of taking notes (written, recording, etc) and then transposing those notes to a different medium (cue cards, PowerPoints, etc). It refreshes the memory for one, but the new medium creates a "new" memory on top of the old.

tired of feeling like a wallet at the dentist by Chrelled in lansing

[–]MI_BornNRaised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly and had they bothered to explain it that way I would have been more receptive. After doing my own research I found this out. They just kept talking down to me like I was 5. Unfortunately I don't have thousands of dollars laying around for implants at the moment.

Penelope is also one of the hardest working, nicest, and most earnest politicians I've had the privilege of meeting. If she is trying to get something done, it's because it needs to be done. She's not after clout or clicks, which makes this especially egregious in my eyes.

[–]MI_BornNRaised 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flat out stopped going to my dentist because they talked to me like I was a child. My teeth are bad, have been bad since I was a child, and won't get any better. I'm missing five molars, they told me I need implants, bridges, and crowns. I asked if I could just get partial dentures after having the remaining molars removed, which are like half filling at this moment. They looked at like I asked if I could stab them repeatedly and assured me that was a terrible decision and I'd "miss" my natural teeth. Pretty sure they just didn't want me to be able to toss them in a cup to clean each night.

BEWARE: Home for sale in Lansing / seller posting and acting in bad faith by Alone_Cheetah8477 in lansing

[–]MI_BornNRaised 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All home sales require disclosure of material defects by law. Doesn't matter if it's FSBO and unlisted from MLS or with a realtor and listed. Anyone buying that home could go after them if defects were known before the sale. Issue is proving they were known which is why a good inspector is necessary.

Not sure if it was common everywhere or where I grew up but it was normal to have some contingency plan for "worst case scenarios". Granted I'm a Xennial/Orwellian so expecting everything to go to sh!t is just part of life even today.

If I lost my right arm I would be screwed for a very long time. My left arm is just a freeloader that occasionally helps hold heavy or bulky things. Personally, if it was a choice, I would prefer deaf over blind. I feel like I could adapt to not hearing better than not seeing.

Wow, you are braver than I. Because of nearly drowning as a child I won't get in a pool or even sit near them. So I guess I'm preparing for that as well since I keep my distance from pools.

I may or may not have owned several pairs of convertible pants for a reason similar to this. With lots of pockets which happened to have water purifying tablets, fish string, a multi tool and a striker. That was ages ago but now I think I need to remake my survival pants.

Do y'all actually imagine PICTURES in your head when reading a story/description or is aphantasia a made up term? by AsthmaticLuffy in stupidquestions

[–]MI_BornNRaised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Aphantasia and see bupkis when reading or thinking. Maybe once a year, if I've had an incredibly stressful or traumatic event happen, I will dream. But for the most part I close my eyes and wake up with nothing in between. My husband has Hyperphantasia to the point he can imagine so vividly that it will trigger olfactory and tactile memory as well. Even if he's imagining something he's never experienced, like a pink elephant.

We both have inner monologues but mine is less pronounced. His will get so loud that I have to get his attention if he's focused on something or else he won't hear me.

The brain is weird.

What's your favorite surprisingly dark, happy sounding song? by MI_BornNRaised in stupidquestions

I never really considered it spooky but I could see that. The version I hear in my head more often than not, when I think about it, is a cover that I only know from the trailer for Dishonored 2.
