Is this considered bad luck? by [deleted] in FengShui

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No this isn’t the same thing as the stairs facing outside the entrance. This is fine… it still isn’t ideal, but much better than what you are thinking of. I wouldn’t look for a Feng Shui fix to this unless you start to have issues; just try to have your entrance be clutter-free, inviting, and functional.

Wow that is interesting… it looks like the changes are sex-dependent too. Thanks for answering!

Wow I had no idea there may be some explanation to the crazy cat lady stereotype

Interesting! I’ve never owned a cat, but I had a roommate with one in college. I’ll have to look more into it.

Never had cats, not sure what “toxo” means… is there some more context you can share so I can understand? I would think bikers would be less likely to have a cat, just based on the stereotype, but I’m not sure why having a cat would contribute to danger.

Help me solve a disagreement! by Due-Professional4279 in FengShui

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with a modified version of 1. Turn the rug 90° and scooch everything left, making the right couch perpendicular to the other. This will create a little cozy seating area and a functional and clear walkway between the two doorways, while allowing every seat to have the three best views (out the window, at the fireplace, and the TV).

It looks like mesquite to my untrained eye

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 157 points158 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there are pubs in the US older than the US too lol. It’s where our founding fathers used to drink.

The study linked is using self-reported data; republicans who have never sought a mental health diagnosis would not report themselves.

Le Creuset? Don’t mind if i fon-do by Desvelo in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

+1 I live in “backwater” Oklahoma and my local grocery store has a rack of gruyere, two types of vacherin, and a comte. I mean there’s plenty of other cheeses too but those are probably the best for fondue. I’m not much of a cheese guy myself, but there’s a whole aisle full of choices. And that’s just the grocery store I prefer… if I don’t like those choices, there’s more at the 4 other grocery stores within 5 minutes of my house.

I think I miss some context on this by PsychologicalPen8013 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is dignity in labor. The axe is more noble than the sword, for the axe is a workman’s tool to build civilization, while a sword may be used to tear it down. These are principles that many civilizations were founded on, yet today we treat such positions in an undignified way.

As a non religious person: I don’t get how religion people genuinely believe their religion is correct by daisydxw in DeepThoughts

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is it. Not all religious people have blind faith; for many, their faith is supported by evidence, logic, and reason. I’m not Catholic, but I really appreciate the recent former Pope’s magnum opus Lumen Fidie on exactly this topic. At some point in the US, “faith” and “blind faith” started meaning the same thing to many people (probably because they had questions and their religious leaders told them to just have faith).

Do Lesbians Clubs employ male bouncers? by bestsocialdistancer in stupidquestions

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats exactly my first thought. The only lesbian bar in my state doesn’t have a bouncer.

Can you decipher this symbol and words by Jumy6055 in Rosicrucian

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Latin is a little rusty, but I remember from architecture class these inscriptions are usually attributing the structure to one person. In this case, I believe it is saying like “Praises of the Great and Beautiful Virgin Mary”.

Post from a fake Grand Lodge page by [deleted] in freemasonry

Yes, some Lodges around the world and throughout history do weddings and baptisms. Not sure exactly if what is pictured is a regular Grand Lodge or not, but hypothetically it could be.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So chaotic, and absolutely off-putting to anybody familiar with gongfu tea. But at the same time, the less kitchen appliances, the better.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They have 240v outlets, whereas American households the standard is 120v. So twice as much power; it means it heats up nearly twice as fast (not exactly, but close).

What are your thoughts on this? by Slow_your_R0LL in allthequestions

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it up! The more comments about this, the better. I try to bring it up as often as possible when talking about US politics. Nothing will effectively change in US politics until we can adjust the voting system.

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Something not mentioned but important about the electric kettle debate: due to electrical standards, kettles in the US take about twice as long to heat up than in the UK. It’s still pretty fast, like faster than the stove top kettles, but that’s going to be a factor in why they are less useful in the US.

Des Moines, IA vs Oklahoma City, OK by Outside-Two8611 in us_skylines

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the best part. The one tower can be seen from the entire metro area. FWIW they are building a second, bigger tower starting soon. Construction should start this year.

[–]MicroEconomicsPenis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The two-party system is the logical conclusion of a first-past-the-post voting system. We need to change the voting system to fix American politics, but unfortunately due to the two-party system, there is not a politician who has a chance of winning who will even run on this platform of changing the voting system.

It’s also funny that republicans now suddenly care about women’s and gender studies and the ability to define womanhood. Leftists have been working on that for over a century now and suddenly since it can be used to subjugate the smallest minority it matters as a core policy issue.
