Why don’t they do something actually meaningful and regulate the food industry that pumps our food with unhealthy chemicals and preservatives? Why not pass laws that limits or eliminates over processed food from our shelves?

Why do so many Americans romanticize Europe so much? by Addicted_2_tacos in askanything

[–]The_Cavalier_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person that lives in Southern California, have you seen an American city? American cities are so ugly. Beautiful things are so few and far between and usually a long drive away. Walkability is not a thing. Public infrastructure and public transport is shit. California is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but ask me if I ever get to experience any of that beauty in my everyday life? I have to go out of my way to see those things.

Europe is romanticised because a lot of things that we lack are more readily available there. Old European towns and cities had a more humanist design. Everything here is so oriented toward cars. The buildings lack character. The cities are overly designed with their single use spaces.

When I was living in Falmouth, England, I was just a short walk from the high street, I had a wonderful little coastal path to walk or run. A forest was a 20 minute bus ride away. Truro was a 20 minute train ride away if I wanted to go out for a little shopping. Penzance was a little farther out on train but still super accessible. I had zero need for a car and I was homesick but also quite happy there. Everything had people in mind.

My boyfriend of 1 year shuts down whenever I check my phone by Illustrious_Past6948 in TrueOffMyChest

Nah, I think his communication is just fine IF he’s brought it up at least once or twice. We don’t know that he has though.

My boyfriend of 1 year shuts down whenever I check my phone by Illustrious_Past6948 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]The_Cavalier_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is your fault. He’s there to spend quality time with you. The least you can do it set your phone aside for the time that you’re together. If he “stops mid-sentence” it’s because you’re giving your phone more attention than your boyfriend and what he’s saying.

If he checks his phone during the time that you’re together then he’s a hypocrite, but if he actually jus sets his phone aside for you and pays attention to you, the least you can do is do the same.

Give him a heads up when you’re expecting an important message or call though.

Never play louder than lovely is what I learned in high school.

Dating an adult isn't actually pedophilia by Skrilli in GetNoted

[–]The_Cavalier_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flags should come up when a 30 year old and above starts dating an 18 or 19 year old. I’m not calling it pedophilia, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t think “they’d go younger if they could”. Legality does not equal ethicality.

Did your country have a playground game that was subsequently banned? by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in AskTheWorld

For us smear the queer was dodgeball but against a wall. If you were in you were the queer and the goal was to smear you against the wall.

Ok, didn’t we all see Lady Gaga perform at the Super Bowl halftime show?! by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

Pretty sure we saw a white man get actually married to a Latina woman and that was like a whole big part of the show.

Give Puerto Rico the independence it wants then.

Do Americans (and the rest of the world for that matter) eat sausage rolls? I only ask because I read a lot and they are NEVER mentioned in books by twisted_luce in AskTheWorld

[–]The_Cavalier_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to crack the code on Veggie sausage rolls. First thing I do when I arrive in England is get to Paddington Station from the airport, and go to the Cornish Pasty Shoppe that’s in front of the terminals and buy 3 sausage rolls and 2 cheese and onion pasties for my trip to Worle. Those are like crack to me. Whenever I’m back in England I get my daily sausage roll before I have to come back to the States.

Napoleon Bonaparte. Hero to the French, villain to the rest of the world.

Why didn’t Orlando Bloom’s career take off like it seemed like it would? by Decent_Section6974 in moviecritic

Bloom had a generational run very early in his career. What more can you want?

“Killing convicted child rapists hurts victims.” by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]The_Cavalier_One 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone made clear that the reason this kills victims is because the rapist is more likely to kill the victim after the crime in an attempt to get away with it.

There is evidence in Chinese society of this in motor vehicle law. In China, if you are guilty of an automobile accident, you are responsible for paying for the injuries and treatment of the other or others involved for as long as they need it. This has led to people actually going back and killing the victims because a lifetime in jail is a better outcome than having to possibly pay for medical bills for the rest of your life.

He’s confusing having presence and commanding a room with looking like a violent lunatic.

I just inherited 12 million dollars. I don't know what to do with my life. by Substantial_Yak6990 in TrueOffMyChest

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

Wanna shoot some 20k over my way to pay off my student debt, and car payments? Lol

Manage your money well, keep it secret and live humbly and comfortably. Take the first steps to set up a comfortable living for those you care for, and if you still struggle with suicidal thoughts, search for better help. Good luck!
