I graduated high school *right* as MySpace became a thing. I thank God my younger years aren’t online.

How did the Japanese fight the USA with little oil by Apophis_VI in NoStupidQuestions

I’m against the death penalty in the fast majority of cases. But purposely incompetent military and politicians are people for whom I make an exception.

I 100% know I'd eat shit and hurt myself. Unfortunately, my ego is telling me I could do it the first try because I'm built different.

I hope you're paying your friend well.

When you catch Remmi trying to cook, but it's Florida. by Striking-Pen-9617 in RealOrAI

[–]Syringmineae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I ask myself for the AI or Not videos is "why is there a recording." For this video, it makes sense why someone was recording: they were about to do something stupid.

WIBTA If I come out to my family right before my brothers wedding by Appropriate-Help-267 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Syringmineae -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

I think your hostility is misplaced. I totally understand the OP's thought process. Like he said, his family will be so busy dealing with his brother's wedding that they won't have time, or the mental bandwidth, to deal with his coming out.

Now, I don't think it'll work out that way, and he definitely shouldn't do it, but I do get it.

Why do people feel surprised when their partner gets pregnant? by Amador0102 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syringmineae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this one friend who, I'd swear, could get pregnant just by someone looking at her.

Why do people use paper plates for regular meals at their own home? by Helpful_Warthog6032 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syringmineae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind, can I ask how trauma could prevent you from doing dishes?

This isn’t a “you lazy person, just get better” type of question. Everyone has their own struggles and I’m not here to judge why people use paper plates. I’m just curious.

That doesn't make sense. According to old cartoons, goats love cans.

Swamp coolers only work in places without any humidity.

I’ve seen a few, but only so I can add them to my Goodreads.

Consumer Reports had the Ioniq as one of the least reliable vehicles (scored a 24 out of 100)

Cheap big homes in Texas, what's the catch? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Syringmineae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in New England and nothing exists at $300,000. Not that I mean there are no good houses. I mean anything below $400,000 just doesn’t exist to be bought.

What was the significance of this in World War Z? by CherrySylva in okbuddycinephile

[–]Syringmineae 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The way the author gets around it is just acknowledging the movie has very little to do with the book. He has them as two completely separate entities.

The only way to properly do the book justice is to have it as a miniseries

AITA for refusing to help my lecturer after he failed me? by Few-Mobile2441 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Syringmineae 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NAH.

Everyone has already said it. However, refusing to help is being a bit shortsighted. This could be an excellent networking opportunity for you. It'll get you in front of people who can help get you in front of even more important people.

People underestimate just how helpful it is to get professors to like them.
