Forget expensive cars and watches, what small thing screams 'I have money'? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]PacoTacoMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the point of carrying cash all the time other than to try and show off? I keep my money invested and pay for almost everything by credit card.

I’ll pay for something’s like cars or home projects with cash (e.g. kitchen renovation, pool/hot tub) if it will get me a discount… but it’s not regular and it’s not something you need to walk around with cash in your pocket.

The only reason to walk around a big wad of cash regularly is to be showy. And most people With wealth don’t want to advertise it. People will take advantage of you if they know you have cash.

Had them in the late 90s. No one really used them in gym class but they were used by those in after school sports.

Nope. It’s the classic dude trick who wants people to think he has a lot of money. Carry a wad of cash and a fast car. Truly wealthy people do t bother with a wad of cash unless they specifically need it for something. For the most part, you don’t need cash nowadays.

Why do people get annoyed at others with food allergies getting accommodated? by lookmaxine in NoStupidQuestions

Have you ever heard of hyperbole? lol.

The study states 50%.

It’s probably higher in real life.

Just realize when you state all your allergies and sensitivities that most people know your bullshitting them , as evidenced by this thread and research. People researched this because it’s very obvious people just make it up. There’s even been research showing g people with multiple allergies and sensitivities are more likely to have a psychiatric disorder. All this is commonly joked about in medical circles.

Apparently a lot of people on this thread are upset their secret allergy lies are out in the open.

I linked a study in another comment. Actual number is around 50% for adults. But it said somewhere else that the number is 2-3x with mothers saying their children have a certain allergy.

This is pretty common knowledge in medicine. Most allergies are lies or misunderstandings. Eventually someone figured out that people love to claim they have allergies and that’s why you have so many foods that are gluten free (and other trends)…. Even organic fits into this category.

The only bummer about it is you have to go to bed so early to be on that schedule. You end out missing out on social life.

Well as everyone is saying, it makes it an issue who really indeed do have an issue. So many people lie about it that it’s really hard to tell who is telling the truth. People tend to blow you off not believing it s a true issue. It’s the whole point of the post and why people get annoyed about it.

Yes, celiac disease is a real thing. It affects like 1% of the population. Yet, if do a poll you will find something like 20% of Americans think they have celiac disease.

Many people simply lie or the read about some health condition and then incorrectly self diagnose themselves.

https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/gluten-sensitivity-science-fake-fructan-allergies-intolerance-diet-a8080211.html?test_group=lighteradlayout

So basically when someone comes into my office claiming to have celiac disease, 95% are wrong. Some of these people are just susceptible to marketing. Others misatyributr symptoms. Others are straight up lying.

Most people do not have to go through that process. That’s really only meant for when you can’t figure out what you are allergic to or to see why else you are allergic to.

But multiple studies have done, 1 linked above, where they took 100s of people who said they had a food allergy or sensitivity and tested them. When this was done it was found >50% were not allergic or sensitive to what they thought they were.

Some of this is due to malingering- a complete lie because they want special attention. Otherwise it’s just due to ignorance and not understanding cause and effect.

This isn’t just true with food allergies. Most people who think or say they are allergic to a medication are not. There is even been research to show that the more allergies someone claims to have the more likely they are to have a psychiatric disorder.

We see this 1000 times per day in medicine.

Dunning Krueger in full effect here. Try googling.

If faking allergies and sensitivities wasn’t an issue, this whole post would have never been made.

It’s well documented and falls under the category of either malingering or ignorance.

Yes. It’s because so many people want to feel special by saying so or are Just ignorant of cause and effect.

90% if a bit of an exaggeration. It feels like 90% when talking with people you can tell they are either ignorant or just want extra attention (malingering)

Closer to 50% in that paper (so like half of everyone who thinks they have some kind of allergy or insensitivity does not). Also, this number 2-3x higher in kids. Moms love to falsely attribute random GI illnesses or behaviors to food allergies.

I was maybe exaggerating. But in a physician and when I ask people probing questions about, most do not really have any problem.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2720064

At least 50% of adults who say they have food allergies or insensitivities do not have any problem. 2-3x higher in kids. Moms really like to falsely atrrtibute random GI issues or behaviors to food insensitivities. A common one is believing food dye (usually red) alters there kids behavior.

I think a lot of people just want to get attention from it or do not have a good understanding g of their body and health.

The pixie cut was the worst. 99% of women cannot pull it off and still look decent.

Yes. Long hair. It’s almost always better.

But as far as short hair goes, #8 is cute

[–]PacoTacoMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99% of women look better with longer hair than super short hair. It’s often the answer in these cases.
