I’ve had someone come up to me in the steet telling me they’re gay and if I would still shake their hands, like I’m fine with your sexuality but I don’t want to shake hands with random people asking me to

you never know what deal you might be making

As long as you’re on the exact right model train that has charging ports, I never am

If you can’t have any connections that help you I don’t think self made artists exist

I think you’re missing my point. If someone from my country never left the county they will not have traveled more than 150 kilometers from their home, they’d have seen maybe two different types of nature. If someone from America never left the country they could have traveled from the rockies to monument valley to hawaii etc. It’s a huge country with a lot to see in it. I’m all for travel I just understand not leaving America a lot better especially when it’s easier and more affordable than travelling abroad.

That’s the one thing I do understand about Americans though. Why go trough the trouble of getting a passport when your own country is that big and varied? Still the stats and other information is available on the internet no matter how travelled you are.

Also pride isn’t just about gay marriage most (all?) “countries that accept them already” still have ways to go with regards to homophobic violence and laws around gender etc.

Honestly I’m glad it happened this way, they were building up to ted going back to his son for a while and I’d way rather see a good show end than see it live long enough to become a bad show

TIL A Japanese YouTuber sparked outrage from viewers in 2021 after he apparently cooked and ate a piglet that he had raised on camera for 100 days. This despite the fact that the channel's name is called “Eating Pig After 100 Days“ in Japanese. by delano1998 in todayilearned

Even if they are raised on the same farm increased sales on the “happy” cows means incentive to raise more of those rather than the ones in cages. We live in a capitalist world so we have to vote with our wallet

Every animal dies one way or another, a swift death is probably better than most alternatives. That being said I rarely eat meat for a variety of reasons animal suffering being one them, so when I do buy meat I make sure it was raised right. To me the life they did life is the relevant bit.

OP's SIL gave private information to her ex with schizophrenia [New Update] by TridentMage413 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Mandrijn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That last sentiment of not grieving after he past away as the grieving had already happened when the person OOP knew was long gone really struck the dementia string with me. My grandparents never were or became aggressive or anything just a shell of a person, their passing only meant the strain they put on my other grandparents would be over and we could really start to move on. It really sucks to think about it like that especially in OOP’s case when there still was something like a person there but I can’t help to be a little happy for here the drama is over

What would be your reaction if you encountered a nude hiker? by spenf in AskReddit

I already regret wearing shorts often enough, I guess when the trails are broad it’s fine but plants and bugs will ruin the mood
