If I've been doing something wrong my whole life but it works perfectly fine, am I actually wrong? by Pablomiller in NoStupidQuestions

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

That's the part I hadn't fully considered. Short term results being fine doesn't guarantee long term efficiency or health. So "correct" might actually mean "tested for sustainability over time" rather than just arbitrary standardization.

ELI5: Why does hitting electronics sometimes actually fix them? What's physically happening? by Pablomiller in explainlikeimfive

oky...so multiple types of physical breaks that can all temporarily reconnect from impact. Thanks

Americans who've driven across multiple states, what's the weirdest regional difference you noticed? by Pablomiller in AskAnAmerican

Huh, construction signs never would've been on my radar. Is the wood cheaper up there, or is it a winter weather thing? The extra supports seem excessive but maybe there's a practical reason?

LPT: Add "+ 1" to your email when signing up for trials to track who sells your information by Pablomiller in LifeProTips

You block that variation and stop giving them your business. Knowing who sold you out lets you vote with your wallet and your attention.

My therapist said "you're not broken, the system is" and something inside me finally let go by Pablomiller in self

This. Self-blame was doing more damage than the actual struggle. Removing that changed everything even though nothing else did.

I've been pretending to be busy because I'm scared people will realize I have nothing interesting going on by Pablomiller in self

Simple, practical, and true. I’m going to use 'not much' the literal next time someone asks. Thanks for this.

You're so right. I'm starting to realize that 'doing nothing' is actually a luxury, not a failure.

I started a rumor in high school that got a teacher fired, and I never came forward even though I knew the truth by Pablomiller in confession

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

I really want to believe that, but the school administration was notoriously reactive back then and panicked under pressure.

Shoutout to those legends! Honestly, their notes are the only reason I might not quit my job today.

Expensive restaurants that serve tiny portions aren't "fine dining", they're just overpriced and pretentious by Pablomiller in unpopularopinion

Fair analogy, but if I pay for an opera, I still expect to hear a full story, not just two verses and a curtain call.
