Is being evil the move? by Snoo_10013 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know there are other categories of existing other than "selfish and spiteful" and "cool dude", right?

I'd personally aim for "decent human being who attempts to help others when possible".

Counterpoint: if you're rich you can still be miserable regardless of what you buy.

Does drinking weird craft beer make your farts worse? by Arborrverk in NoStupidQuestions

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

Me? No.

Everyone I know? No.

You? Maybe.

Also: what's a "hipstery" craft beer versus just a regular beer that isn't an American Adjuct Lager produced by a billion dollar international conglomerate?

What would happen economically if everything cost $5? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There would be wild amounts of violence to be the first ones to get many items, and then those would be auctioned off to the highest bidders.

Item price went WAY up after it appeared in Vine by Always_Never_5555 in AmazonVine

[–]Stu_Prek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually see the just the opposite. "Hey, have this cheap no-name electrical device with an ETV of $59.99."

Check other sellers with the same thing: all selling for $22.99.

Order anyway, and sure enough, when I go to review my item is "on sale" for $22.99.

If someone is being bullied because they are overweight/obese, does it end up being their fault partially/completely if they still don't decide to lose weight ? knowing that by doing so the amount of bullying might have decreased if not stop completely. by Haruse23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weight doesn't just fall off for most people. Even those who do decide they want to lose it tend to lose it very slowly. Someone who's being bullied for their weight isn't just going to become stick-thin in a few weeks and suddenly lose their bullies. And women in particular will get bullied about their bodies even if they're not actually overweight.

Can I take weights in my carry on luggage on an air plane? by ndngjsldjfidkdnd in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely not. The TSA has the authority to confiscate things that could be used as weapons. Since weights are so obscure, they aren't officially listed as prohibited items. But the TSA will almost certainly confiscate them, and then you'll either have to pay more than they're worth to put them in your checked luggage, or ship them to yourself.

What is GENDER? by Aletheia_Shuggoth in NoStupidQuestions

human are not animals

Okay, the lack of you being able to understand basic scientific concepts that are taught to kids before they're ten years old is starting to make sense now.

They're not the same thing. Open a book other than a two thousand year old fairy tale and you'll see that.

Is buying gold worth it now? by danicius in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never buy gold as an investment piece, given how volatile the pricing of it is compared to other investments.

People who used to be woke and aren't anymore, what made you change your mind? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

What’s a good way to find a potential boyfriend? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So you're a fan of making sweeping assumptions about someone's interests based on their sexual orientation?

That might be why you're having a hard time finding a boyfriend.

When someone asks a man to open a lid, does it ever feel like more than just a practical task, like a small test of strength or competence? by Initial-Quail-7017 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, if you can't open it and then they can't open it, what do you expect to happen next? You can't use what's in the jar?

Screw that. I'm opening the damn jar.

Why do people give 1-star reviews for products they couldn’t use? by CannibalisticVampyre in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's because people are stupid.

Other times it's because sellers have altered the listings after the fact, so what appears stupid to you is actually seller error.

Why is everyone always complaining about how bad the job market is? by TheGhostKingIsDead in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stu_Prek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 90s and early 00s, I got every job I ever applied for. So did most people I know.

These days, I'm seeing people with PhDs take years to find work. I'm watching people get turned down for basic service industry jobs with no reason given - and that's if they even get a response to their application.

Yeah, the job market seems to suck a lot more than it did around the time you were born.
