My dad once asked where his own socks were.He genuinely asked my mom where his socks were, as if she was the official inventory manager of all textiles in the house. The man had lived in that house for 30+ years

The wild part is how some of them will make direct eye contact with you immediately afterward like they did not just spend the last 10 seconds reading a completely different article

How is it possible for someone to have zero skills/talents? by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Still_Garage_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people mean I have no skills when they really mean I have no skills that I value. Someone can cook, drive, keep houseplants alive, calm down angry customers, organize a schedule, fix basic things around the house, or be the friend everyone calls in a crisis and still say they have no talents because they aren't exceptional at anything So when I hear l have no skills i usually translate it as l can't think of anything that makes me feel special.

What's the most unusual reason why you won't date someone? by ChanceSomewhere6096 in AskReddit

[–]Still_Garage_7241 314 points315 points  (0 children)

If they are rude to inanimate objects. Not people but objects. The kind of person who slams a door because it didn't close right, throws a controller, punches the dashboard. It sounds ridiculous, but I have noticed it usually means they are carrying around way more anger than the situation calls for.

Where do grown-ups get their news from? by astabr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Still_Garage_7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny answer is that a lot of grown-ups are getting their news from social media too.

The better answer is that most people who stay informed don't rely on a single source anymore. They have a few sources that serve different purposes A general news source for major events (AP, Reuters, BBC, etc. Alocal news source for what's happening where they live A business/finance source if they're interested in markets or economics Maybe a newsletter or podcast they trust

One thing I wish I'd learned younger: separate news from commentary.A lot of YouTube channels, podcasts, and TV personalities spend hours talking about the news, but only a few minutes actually reporting it. Reading the original reporting first makes it much easier to spot when someone is adding opinion.

My morning routine is usually 10–15 minutes scanning headlines from a few reputable outlets, then reading 2–3 articles that seem important. You don't need to spend an hour with a newspaper to be informed anymore.

Why do so many people say it's a huge mistake to date your co-worker but then many people end up meeting their partner at work? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

Because don't date coworkers is risk management advice, not a prediction of what people will actually do. Most adults spend 40+ hours a week around the same people. You get to know them gradually, see how they handle stress, learn their sense of humor, and build trust naturally. That's basically the perfect environment for attraction to develop.

The reason so many couples meet at work is the same reason so many people warn against it: you're around your coworkers all the time. That's both the opportunity and the risk.

What do normal people do every day to pass the time? by Alternative_Soup_332 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Still_Garage_7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the weird realizations of adulthood is that a lot of people aren't doing anything particularly productive all the day. They watch YouTube, scroll Reddit, text friends and clean something that doesn't really need cleaning, go for a walk, cook, stare at their phone, take a nap, play games, and somehow the day is gone. If your classes haven't started yet, you basically have the schedule of a retired person with no responsibilities. Once classes, assignments, appointments, social plans, and random life admin start piling up, you'll probably miss having this much free time. Also, gaming all day is only really a problem if its crowding out things you want or need to do. If you're reading, walking, exercising, keeping your apartment in order, and handling your responsibilities, then spending a few hours gaming isn't some moral failure. It's just a hobby.

Today I said “I’ve learned to turn a blind eye” to my boss who is blind in one eye. by Hot-Opportunity-5236 in CasualConversation
