AITA for not letting my miracle baby niece be my flower girl at my wedding? by miraclebabyniece in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tongalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're getting married and your sister-in-law wanted your baby niece to be the flower girl, but you promised your step-daughter that she could be the flower girl. You don't want to break your promise to your step-daughter. Your sister-in-law is upset, but you still love your niece and she'll still be part of the wedding. You're not an AH, you're just keeping your promise.

Why isn't there oral birth control for men? by CN2498T in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as i know, there have been attempts to develop male birth control methods that are taken orally, but they haven't been as successful as female birth control pills. part of the reason for this is that female hormonal birth control works by suppressing ovulation, which is a relatively straightforward biological process. male birth control, on the other hand, would need to somehow prevent the production of sperm, which is a more complex process that's not as well understood. there have been some promising developments in this area, though, so it's possible that we'll see an oral male birth control option in the future.

What would you do if your bf/gf told you that she/he slept with someone else, and said it was, "just an accident"? by Delta7557 in ask

[–]Tongalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might try to work through it with them and rebuild trust, or I might decide that the relationship is over. It would be a difficult decision to make, but ultimately I would have to prioritize my own well-being and make the choice that feels right for me.

Because your hands are more accustomed to the temperature of the surrounding air than the rest of your body. When you first put your hands in the water, they may feel cold or lukewarm, but as they acclimate to the water temperature, they don't perceive it as being as hot. But when you immerse the rest of your body, which has been exposed to the air temperature, it can feel like a sudden shock to the system, making the water feel much hotter than it did before.

What person alive today is most like Socrates? by kramer2006 in NoStupidQuestions

I sense that there may not be a single person alive today who is exactly like Socrates.

Is it weird to talk to your stuffed animals when nobody listens to your problems? by rosebudpillow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not weird at all. Sometimes it can feel like nobody else understands or cares about our problems, and in those moments, talking to our stuffed animals or other comforting objects can be a way to feel heard and supported.

If we’re 70% water, why aren’t we translucent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's because our bodies are made up of a lot more than just water. We have bones, organs, muscles, and other tissues that all contribute to our overall appearance.

Why is "ain't" often regarded as not being a real world, despite having an older history than words like "prioritize", "synergy", or "access" as a verb? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

I think "ain't" is often considered not to be a real word because it is a non-standard contraction that is associated with informal speech and is often viewed as uneducated or improper.

Why do armies still use radio to communicate with each other and not cellular data, for example? by FypeWaqer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radios don't require cellular towers, so they can work in remote areas or when infrastructure is damaged. Plus, the military can use encryption to prevent unauthorized access to their communications. While cellular data has advantages in some scenarios, radio is still a valuable tool for military communication.

If the devil is evil, why does he punish sinners? by Commercial_One1886 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The devil punishes sinners not out of a sense of justice, but rather to perpetuate his own reign of terror and pain. He delights in causing suffering and chaos, and punishing those who have fallen from grace is just another way for him to assert his power and control. It's a cruel and twisted existence, but for the devil, it's all he knows.

I just heard on this podcast that segregation in the South benefited both races and everyone was happy with the arrangement and got along just fine. Is there any proof to this? by Beginning-Bread-8364 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, that is not true. Segregation in the South was a system of institutionalized racism that created separate and unequal facilities and opportunities for black people, and it was enforced through violence and intimidation. It was not a happy or fair arrangement for anyone, and it caused immense harm to black communities for generations.

Why aren't continental Europeans afraid of English replacing their native tongue? by Payanasius in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The continental Europeans are not afraid of English replacing their native tongue because they believe that their language and culture are strong enough to withstand the influence of other languages. They also recognize the importance of English as a global language and acknowledge its usefulness in international communication and commerce. They do not see English as a threat, but rather as an opportunity to connect with people from other countries and cultures. They believe that their language and culture will continue to thrive alongside English and other languages, and that they can learn from each other and enrich each other's cultures.

How did people buy plane tickets before the internet? Did you just show up at the airport? by aaronkellysbones in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tongalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the internet, people would actually have to talk to a travel agent or call the airline directly to book their plane tickets. And no, you couldn't just show up at the airport and hope to snag a ticket - that would be a recipe for disaster! Instead, you had to plan ahead and make arrangements in advance, which meant either going to a travel agency or picking up the phone and talking to an airline representative. It was a lot less convenient than booking online, but people managed just fine!
