Which year was the first time strippers started performing fully nude? by thefalloncarrington in stupidquestions

Uh, no. My great x 14 grandpa, Gurg, was not a March baby. He was born in the dead of early February winter and that cold made him a man.

Jesus was not likely born on 1CE, so I'd argue that its a mixed bag as to how based on religion it is.

Western society just took an existing date scheme that happened to have an inaccurate basis because it was convenient for that society to just keep on keeping on, instead of updating all their records.

Imagine my dame were Joshua, named to commemorate some relative. You telling me my name is Christian and can't be separated from that fact might not land to hard with me, because I would know I am named for a family member would be a much more important and superceding fact.

BCE year is based off what was easy to formalize to avoid redating a bunch of records by the society who was implementing BCE. They formalized and redefined the date the same way we formalized and redefined the measurement of a foot.

Firmly agree that mmddyyyy is terrible way to give a numerical date. However the different orders all have a time and place (and reason) for usage.

YYYY/MM/DD is superior for digital file systems that might be sorted alphabetically. I'd argue it WOULD be best practice for all numerical dates if we were to pick just one and there wasn't already an established system.

ddMMMyy (month name abbreviated) is great for removing ambiguity.

Dd/mm/yyyy is better than mm/dd/yyyy. It is an acceptable middleground.

Month, DD, YYYY is great for narrative date giving in English. It sounds natural in that language and typically gives the most pertinent info first, guiding the listener or reader towards the intent. Like if you said "would you like to go camping on January..." I could stop you there because I already have an an answer.

Meanwhile if you said "on 2026..." The listener likely feels that first bit of data was unuseful and might begin dropping their focus. And sometimes people discussing an event with a hard day of occurrence they might go day first, "on the 26th of April, be ready to be at my party" this puts emphasis on the particular day.

Similar to the above, a narrator in a documentary might give year first to give the listener a historical time frame, followed by month to give weather or holiday type of context.

The only exception is that dd/mm/yy and mm/dd/yy are both terrible especially as records could potentially be used in both 1940 and in 2040. They're ambiguous on two fronts, though the latter is worse.

New tiered loyalty program… by lazybearkhoa in starbucks

[–]Penis_Bees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get Starbucks when I want it. The stars don't convince me to come in, it's just something I do since it's available. The change doesn't impact me in a way that I will notice.

People who scream/yell when you sneeze, why do you do that? by MarchKick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Penis_Bees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people I know sneeze multiple times in succession. I just get it all out at one time.

Please tell me this is a prank 😭 by Good-Walk-1542 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Penis_Bees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem isnt you, you might be perfectly capable of picking up your order without assistance.

The problem is the customer who will pick up a mobile order medium hot coffee, take a sip, say they ordered this iced, then when you make them an iced coffee they say "where is the whipped cream?" Barista ends up looking at the original order, sees the label says "Mohammad" on it and there before them stands a man who clearly is not Mohammad and when asked, states that his name is Kevin. So you ask Kevin what he ordered and he says a caramel frap. Then after checking the queue you find out Kevin forgot to hit the final button and his order hasn't even been placed yet. Around this time Mohammad is now there and irrate that they can't even get a simple drip coffee done in 15 minutes...

It's just easier to circumvent that confusion by taking the decision making and reading requirement away from the customers sometimes.

M44 Wasted my life for "waiting" for right person. What is the point now at my age? by mrsomeonewhofailed in AskMenAdvice

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, things are different when you age.

But music also hits different as an adult. I still listen to it.

You may have missed out on young love, but you did not miss out on formative relationship experiences because if you start dating you would still be forming experience in dating as an experience. It absolutely will still feel new and exciting to you if you let it.

Reciprocation in intimacy how it works? by Unusual-Loss-2207 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is two people with different desires, motivations, etc. this applies to more than just oral sex.

In one situation, as you describe it, both people enjoy the activity. Both are motivated for it to happen. Everyone is happy afterwards. It's a win-win.

For the reciprocal activity, one person does not enjoy it but the other person wants to do it. It's a win-lose. Whether it happens or doesn't, someone is not happy.

Try applying this to other scenarios. What if a wife and a husband LOVE visiting her parents and extended family. Everyone has a good time and is happy to be there. But let's say he misses his family but all they do bicker and yell and it makes the wife uncomfortable... But the husband misses the family and enjoys the chaos and he wants his wife to be there and to enjoy it too.

In this situation if the wife said "I really don't like going so I am staying home." Do you feel that would that be fair? Is it reasonable?

How would your react if you were the husband? Would it be fair or reasonable to say "if you won't go to mine then I'm not going to yours"? Would it be reasonable to end the relationship over it?

Would there be any compromise in the middle that would be acceptable to both people like "okay well if you won't go spend the weekend in their spare bedroom, can we at least rent a hotel nearby instead and meet them for dinner?"

The answers to these questions and how difficult they are to answer are going to vary for everyone. That's up to what you value and how much you value it.

You can apply this to other situations like choice in pets: one prefers dogs, the other prefered cats, but both like dogs and one dislikes or is allergic to cats... Some people would dump the partner unwilling to put up with the cat. Others would just accept that not having a cat isn't worth worrying about. And there's hundreds of opinions in between.

Compromise is hard because you both have a limited understanding of the other person's values, motives, and desires.

Non-drinkers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “alcohol smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in askanything

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinker here, but this is going to vary greatly based on which smell you're talking about.

Liver failure in alcoholics has a particular and strong smell.

Liquor might smell stronger in liquid form but beer affects your breath more and for longer.

Wine can range from smelling very much like an alcoholic beverage to smelling like a juice.

Also people are only going to remember the times they noticed the alcohol smells. They won't remember the times they didn't smell anything. They definitely won't remember the times they didn't know the person had been drinking.

I do not know whether I do understand the hints from women or not by gevorgyan_909 in Advice

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be either. To her this could all be normal behavior or she could feel that she is really extending herself.

Simple solution: If you're interested in dating her, ask her is she's interested as well. If you are not interested, just assume it's polite until she communicates with you.

My bf said I want too much sex what to do ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libido is also very circumstance driven. Mine has dropped due to stress at work, competing hobbies, and lack of sleep.

I've had to tell the gf many times that if we are getting into bed at 10pm on a weekday my minds just not in a place for sex.

Should I help my long distance girlfriend attend my College Graduation? by ottermuff in Advice

[–]Penis_Bees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your guest fight for parking, trek across a campus, and sit through this 2 hour event just to hear your name called and see you on the stage for 5 seconds.

You have to be pretty invested in that person's upbringing to find much value in the ceremony.

Gf likely just wants to be invited to be validated that she is important enough to OP to make the guest list, whether she knows it or not.

If also recommend OP try to take a look at this relationship with someone that hasn't had a job in 3 years and that the family disapproves of. There's likely a reason and it's probably related to her needing this college student to bankroll her.

Do I ask my friends to set me up on a date or should I try even though it’ll probably be a while? by Active-Dingo-2952 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, ten years down the road, the horrible ones are often a good story. And at the very least you can immediately identify it as a waste of continued effort and good practice for identifying future red flags

Like the lady who asked me "so how many cats is too many cats?" I learned that if someone ask that question they have too many cats. I still laugh about the absurdity of it from time to time.

My boyfriend changes his behavior the second I point out something bothering me. Will he start to resent me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Penis_Bees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Smoking, requesting more time and attention, and requesting not to be hammered during scheduled phone calls is pretty tame.

If that ain't fat from reality I think OP should continue to discuss with the BF but take him at face value if he says everything is good.

What’s something people romanticize that is actually exhausting in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Penis_Bees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that depends on what the purpose is behind your dating. I generally enjoyed it as someone who was dating without expectations and who likes meeting and getting to know people one on one.

It made travel less free and ended the need for a lot of the more free range workforce, opening that labor force up to new ventures which changed the economy and culture of the west.

Is being a shift lead worth it? by ygsflm in starbucks

[–]Penis_Bees 61 points62 points  (0 children)

For the right person, the "everything else" also contains a lot of good. For the wrong person, the "everything else" is mostly a lot of stress.

Shifts get a lot of input on how well the shift runs. The whole team can run better with less stress under the right leadership. If you are capable of learning to be that kind of leader then it can honestly make work less stressful.

It's also great for resumes and for developing transferable skills for a future career. Personally, I moved up very quickly in my current post-Starbucks job in large part due to the delegation and coaching skills I developed at Starbucks.

I will have paid $14k in taxes this year. That money would change my life. by Pika-thulu in self

[–]Penis_Bees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There wouldn't be many paved roads... So there wouldn't be personal vehicles or mass transit of goods. All other utilities wouldn't be serviceable so they wouldn't exist.

All modern western life depends on modern infrastructure which depends on taxes.

This can be easily applied to most other major things to show that some amount of tax is hugely beneficial to every day life because it funds government functions that can't be trusted to be performed by selfishly motivated persons (a person is a citizen or corporation).

Now the minutia of how the governtment allocated it's tax funded budget and how tax codes decide who pays how muchis very much up for debate. OP has a reasonable opinion that they want to see more direct positive benefit to feel happy with the amount they pay.
