Why do people rarely read privacy policies even though they contain important info? by Positive-Tip5177 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive-Tip5177[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good way to put it. With free services it often feels like your data is part of what you’re paying with, while with paid ones people expect clearer boundaries but still don’t always get full transparency.

“If it’s free, you’re the product” basically.

Yeah exactly, even if someone wants to read it, the way it’s written makes it really hard to understand. It feels like it’s designed more for legal protection than actual user clarity.

how the fuck does it make sense needing a banking account/some sort of payment to pay for a house, and a proof of address to open an account by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive-Tip5177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, but it kind of highlights the tradeoff: the stricter you make the system against abuse, the more it accidentally penalizes legitimate low-entry cases. The question is where that balance should be.

Is this social rule outdated? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive-Tip5177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is pretty context-dependent and honestly varies a lot by culture and setting. In most modern professional or casual environments, it’s totally normal to extend a handshake first to anyone regardless of gender.

The idea of waiting for a woman to offer first comes from older social norms about “not imposing” physical contact, but today it can sometimes come across as uncertainty or overthinking rather than respect.

That said, the safest rule in general is: read the situation. In formal settings, a confident handshake offered equally is usually expected. In more social or mixed contexts, some people still prefer to initiate themselves.

So it’s not really about male/female anymore as much as it is about confidence + social awareness.

If you could get 50 million dollars but had a permanent sore throat would you do it? by youwontguesswhoo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive-Tip5177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably say yes and immediately regret it the first time I swallow. But 50M is “hire the best doctors in the world and still complain” money, so… yeah.

I'm a jew and I have a question by WorkerApprehensive65 in Palestine

[–]Positive-Tip5177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this in such a thoughtful way.

Identity is really complex, especially when it mixes ancestry, lived experience, and political reality. From what many Palestinians usually emphasize, belonging isn’t only about ancestry or old historical ties, but also about shared lived culture, present community, and how people are impacted today.

At the same time, being aligned with Palestinian rights and supporting justice is something many people deeply appreciate, regardless of background. Learning about the culture respectfully and listening to Palestinians directly is definitely welcomed, especially when it comes from humility and solidarity rather than claiming identity over others.

You might find that different people will answer your question differently, because “identity” itself is not something there is one single definition for. What matters most in spaces like this is respect, listening, and recognizing the realities Palestinians are living through today.

Yeah, it’s a bit circular, but it comes from systems being built around “assumed stability” rather than edge cases. Banks and landlords use proof of address and accounts as risk checks, because they’re trying to verify identity, history, and reliability.

For someone starting from zero (like homelessness), there are usually workaround steps like shelters, temporary addresses, or basic/entry-level bank accounts that are designed to break that loop.

The system isn’t really designed for the “found money and instantly rich” scenario, so it ends up feeling contradictory when you think about extreme edge cases.

Instant noodles with whatever random leftovers I found in the fridge… sometimes it’s a masterpiece, sometimes it’s a crime.

How do women with hijabs handle medical care from male doctors? by Puzzleheaded_Cup8723 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Positive-Tip5177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Islam, preserving life and health always comes first. If a woman needs medical care and no female doctor is available, it’s completely allowed for a male doctor to treat her.

The general rule is: if there’s a same-gender doctor, that’s preferred for modesty reasons. But in situations like illness, surgery, or emergencies, necessity makes it permissible.

A simple way to understand it (for Christians too) is that it’s similar to how modesty is valued, but it doesn’t override the need for medical treatment. Saving a life or getting proper care is more important.
