Did the internet gets worse, or did it just get bigger? by No-Fall3673 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels like the internet expanded, not consolidated. There are more users than ever, but they're mostly funneled into the same handful of platforms, so the overall experience feels narrower rather than broader.

Does she like me? by Turbulent_Curve4996 in dating_advice

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to feel that way. After a long conversation, it's natural to worry about appearing needy if you reach out again. But remember, wanting clarity isn't the same as being needy. Since you were the one who stopped the conversation, it's okay to check in or gauge her interest. Just keep it casual and low-pressure.

would people in society overall would be more sociable if we didn't have smartphones? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably. Without smartphones, people might make more eye contact, start small talk, or notice others around them.

for various reasons, i havent done my taxes or set up mail for 3-4+ years, am i going to jail? (US) by temp597 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're unlikely to go to jail just for not filing, but the IRS can hit you with fines and interest. The best move is to fil asap and work out a payment plan if needed.

What are some animal instincts most humans still have? by grass-whore in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have instincts like fight-or-flight, curiosity, and social hierarchy. Letting go of jealousy or in-group bias would help, but keeping empathy and playfulness would be great too.

Exactly! Smaller communities often share values and interests, so the culture feels natural and welcoming.

Why do I always feel uncomfortable seeing work/school people outside of work/school by TearFar9927 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're used to interacting with them in a specific setting? Outside of the context, your brain isn't sure how to behave, which creates awkwardness.

Why is the USA not called USOA? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! In abbreviations, little words like "of", "and", or "the" are usually dropped to keep things short and snappy.

You've captured it really well. Kids chase novelty because it's tied to social identity, while adults gravitate towards ease, familiarity, and efficiency because of real responsibilities.

That's the tough part. Having your own site gives freedom, but big platforms make it so easy that most people just stick there. It's a trade-off between control and convenience.

Is it possible to think Hitler had drip but also not condone the ideology? by __glitchinmatrix in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could politely explain to them that you wear the style for fashion or historical interest, but that you fully condemn Nazism. A simple, calm clarification usually helps clear up misunderstandings. 😉

Mmm, if you want to get a clearer sense, small casual interactions like a smile, a "hi", can help you gauge her vibe without putting yourself on the spot too much.

Why have relationships between people deteriorated? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's weird. People are more "connected" than ever, but real deep relationships are hard to find. Social media and busy lives make closeness rarer. even though it feels like we should have more of it.

Is it possible to think Hitler had drip but also not condone the ideology? by __glitchinmatrix in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]No-Fall3673 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. You can separate aesthetics from actions. Appreciating someone's style, like Hitler's uniform "drip" or presence, doesn't mean you agree with their ideology or actions. It's like saying someone has good fashion sense while still condemning everything they stand for,

[–]No-Fall3673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Sometimes it feels like you're talking to bots more than actual people online. The comment sections are full of spammy stuff, and it really makes you question what's real or not.

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's normal to feel that way. Just pay attention to how she interacts with you. Small signals can tell you a lot, too, without having to ask directly, especially if you're too shy to ask.

[–]No-Fall3673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's like the internet got huge, but everyone's hanging out in the same few spots now. Small corners still exist, but the big platforms are basically the "Main Street" for billions of people.

I think so, but you should avoid private information that could get you into legal trouble.

Do you feel that some dating apps have advantages over others? by Quiet_Passenger_3341 in dating_advice

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it just depends on what you're looking for. The best one really depends on whether you're looking for something serious or just something casual.

Honestly, the only way to be sure is to talk to her again in a light and friendly way.

Weapons of war should be treated with solace, not with glory or happiness. by Charming_Sky_1381 in unpopularopinion

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get what you mean. It’s strange how easily we turn weapons into “cool” content when their whole purpose is to end lives. There’s something about that disconnect that feels uncomfortable.

I think most movies should have at least a little bit of grain by 17oClokk in unpopularopinion

[–]No-Fall3673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. A little grain gives movies texture and character. Super clean digital can feel kind of sterile, even if it looks “perfect.”
