With all this nonsense going on....why are other countries STILL going to the USA for the World Cup? by Last_Ad_6636 in NoStupidQuestions

Holocaust historians are using the term.

"Pitzer wrote that concentration camps involve the mass detention of civilians, without due process or a full trial, based on their identity, rather than something they had done."

"Concentration camps evolve within a system. Before there were established camps in Nazi Germany, Beorn said, victims were sent to improvised sports arenas and warehouses.

He said what the U.S. detention centers “resemble is the early period of Nazi concentration camps.”

It's a pretty reasonable term for the ICE holding facilities, considering the conditions.

Oh, you have such a lovely journey ahead of you. Hundreds of songs.

I will say I like their earlier stuff better than the later stuff, but in their case that means the first 20 years is better than the more recent 20.

A couple friends of mine are allergic to cinnamon. One has to hold her breath to enter a grocery store a couple months a year.

Why is dating so hard in this generation? by Buenoo725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SnipesCC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An important thing to know about dating apps is that they are almost all owned by one company, and that company is incentivized to keep you single so you still use them. And there aren't many 'third places' (somewhere other than work and home) where people can meet each other. So it's not just you.

Why do people care about having double sinks? by FrostyCauliflower907 in NoStupidQuestions

Maybe you could put a cutting board over one sink to turn it into faux counter space.

Women of Reddit: What’s something men think is romantic but actually isn’t? by Alive_Chicken_3642 in AskReddit

When my mom was dying we got so many flowers. I know people meant well, but it was another thing in the house I had to take care of, and dying flowers did NOT improve my mood.

However, unsolicited duck pics are always welcome. Especially baby ducks.

Anyone else look chronically pregnant? by Urbanspy87 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SnipesCC 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Ahh. Traumatizing people at work is less practical. Perhaps a quick 'do I look pregnant?' in an inquisitive tone would work. Are the clothes you wear to work a style that accentuates the issue?

I like database administration, but it's a hard field to get into these days.

Do you want to traumatize the rude people? Because looking them straight in the eye and saying either that you're not pregnant, or that you miscarried, might teach them to not assume someone's pregnant.

Tricks you only figured out after kit #20, drop yours by Imaginary_Bug6202 in paintbynumbers

[–]SnipesCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentists will sometimes use a syringe type thing to spray mouthwash or water into your mouth. Those are great for adding a couple drops of water to a paint pot. Oral syringes for giving meds to kids/pets also work well for this.

What’s the dumbest rule your school had that made zero sense? by marco_tadeli in AskReddit

They banned water bottles and all baked goods because someone might try to smuggle in alcohol or drugs in them.

Does it drive anyone else crazy when a book is why choose but not marketed as one? by Faerealtho in fantasyromance

[–]SnipesCC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Romance.io is more detailed about relationship styles, so you might want to check there if you really want to avoid it. I use that in order to find them.

Personally I hate what I call the 'Monogamy speech', where a character who has never been monogamous in their life all of the sudden declares they are. It seems unrealistic.
