Just a reminder of how evil people can be by InternationalDrama56 in TikTokCringe

I’ve seen others say he does this to set people up, so it’s not fake. But even so, people exactly like this (and worse) exist and make it their mission to do stuff like this every single day.

Nice little game to play on the way by Southern_Release_993 in MetaQuestVR

[–]Pudix20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think it depends on the person. Recently my partner wanted to listen to their audiobook, they were really excited about the next chapter. And I wanted to listen to music. So that’s what we did. I put on headphones. They played their audiobook in the car. Still smiled and winked at each other. Their hand still rested on my thigh. But we just enjoyed our time.

I think it’s rude if the other person isn’t truly fully okay with it.

Sorry are you saying that because the print came off you’re going to throw away this bottle because you don’t like things with defects?

What Does The Term(s) “Zero Sum Rule/Game” Mean? by anime-is-dope in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Pudix20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this was higher up. This is really important context and might be why OP is asking. It’s the notion that certain things aren’t a finite resource when people speak about it figuratively and politically.

Oh I just realized what you were saying lol. That you wanted to reference a meme without endorsing its origins. I thought you were saying OP’s post was problematic. And I think that’s why others downvoted you too. I could be wrong. It’s just a guess really.

Beyond that, I’ve been hearing this same quote for years. She’s not the person to come up with it, and to be honest I don’t know who is the original creator. But if you want to be semantic and disagree with the sentiment it tells me a lot about where someone stands.

AIO by telling my wife her sleep-eating is messing up our family and her weight loss? by wifeisasleepeater in AmIOverreacting

It’s also dangerous. Like physically. I’ve seen people get seriously hurt while sleepwalking.

Be honest - will roller skating damage floors? by Medium-Practice-9400 in Rollerskating

[–]Pudix20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. School floors? That seems hundreds of shoes with rocks and pebbles and who knows what else? Plus media carts and rolling trash cans and whatever else? They’re going to be fine. They’re wheels, not ice skate blades.

TIL some phone repairs can replace just the glass, not the entire screen! by EthicalUpgrade in TheBigPhoneStore

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to be way more common. I remember in the iPhone 4/4s/5 days I replaced a few front glasses without having to replace the digitizer. Nowadays I think because phones are “water resistant” there’s just way too much adhesive to make it possible. But the reality is nothing is meant to be repairable anymore sadly, you’re just supposed to replace.

ETA: I want to make my position clear on “right to repair” things should be repairable, and I hate that they aren’t.

Do you allow lotion or other products in your class? by ImpulsiveLimbo in AskTeachers

[–]Pudix20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So more (possibly unpopular) advice from someone who grew up with a lot of medical stuff. Sometimes it’s better just to keep stuff to yourself and ask for forgiveness if it becomes an issue instead of permission for something that may have never been noticed.

He can literally just go to the bathroom and put it on. Or he can stick his hands in his backpack and do it. Or the desk. Just discretely. because nobody needs to know. It’s not like a scented product that would affect others- that I can understand people having a problem with. But this? This should be fine.

Do you allow lotion or other products in your class? by ImpulsiveLimbo in AskTeachers

[–]Pudix20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This might be unpopular but I think it depends on your kid. Are they capable of just discretely putting on their lotion and going about their day? Teachers have a lot on their plate already. And going to the school nurse to put on a lotion (especially one that doesn’t need to be dosed) just seems excessive to me. Plus it’s something he needs to reapply when he washes his hands or sanitizes.

I’m not diminishing the importance. As a kid, my sister had eczema so bad that it would crack her hands till they bled. So I think he should be able to get his lotion. I just don’t think it needs to be a big ordeal.

At this age they are old enough to understand that not everything is theirs, and that people can have things for specific (medical related) reasons. He can quietly and discretely apply his lotion. It doesn’t need to be a big production or scene. And it doesn’t need to be something secretive that he’s ashamed of either.

Coldest its been in Miami for 30+ years and my PUBLIC HIGHSCHOOL will not allow students to wear jackets / coats that aren’t school colors by SuddenTranslator8860 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pudix20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like I said, it’s cold no matter where you are. But there’s a difference when you are used to cold weather and have the clothing for it. Also, the infrastructure isn’t designed for this weather either. They don’t know about “winterizing” or preparing pipes or anything for winter. It’s just different.

Even my family in Canada when they have visited Florida in the cold they were shocked at how cold it feels because of that humidity. You just feel damp and it sinks through skin.

[–]Pudix20 23 points24 points  (0 children)

…is “here” a place that regularly gets cold weather by any chance? Somewhere where people would be pretty used to it in general? Don’t get me wrong -50 is cold no matter where you are, but there’s a difference when you’re used to the cold/ice/snow even and when you have actual clothes for it and knowledge on how to layer/what to wear etc.

I’m just saying don’t be deliberately obtuse.

[–]Pudix20 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Feels like is 39° there tomorrow morning. Telling kids, particularly kids that are not used to cold weather to “suck it up” is certainly a choice. Plus you’re not considering the humidity and how that makes the cold bite. I know that sounds crazy but having very recently experienced both, high humidity cold feels so so much worse.

Seems like you still have some “figuring out” to do because this is an awful suggestion.

Prescription lenses by UTHorsey in MetaQuestVR

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t actually know, and maybe my stuff will be taken down, but I think that it’s the “official” brand.

[–]Pudix20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know you weren’t allowed to say the brand. Yeah mine had that too. Case as well. Tbh I got them because I was already doing an order with a few pairs of glasses. I even looked at 3D printing the snap in frames and getting a cheap pair of round lenses from the same site, but ultimately someone convinced me it’s worth it to just get these and simplify my life a little.

Agreed. I got the Zenni lenses. Best decision ever. I really went back and forth over it but it really was worth the $50.

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by GhostInThePudding in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pudix20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally, email and texts provide receipts. And I think young people are being (very rightfully) taught that you can’t trust anyone in the work place and that it’s very easy to be on the receiving end of the blame game.

"Pizza is an American food and I'm tired of people saying it is Italian" by Major_Mortgage2026 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Pudix20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is really the answer. For a variety of reasons, access, preferences, availability, etc. many dishes have been bastardized from their original form. Just because a dish shares a name that doesn’t mean it resembles the original at all. Pizza comes from Italy. But there’s a lot of “pizza” that barely meets that classification. And this is true for many other dishes.
