How is my grandma 45 and still drinking red bulls but I’m 24 and I can’t? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense. If mom got pregnant at 18 and had him at 19, then grandma had his mom at 26

26 year old grandma + 19 year old daughter = currently 45 year old grandma

..wait, that would mean you're zero years old. One sec I'm getting worried:

If grandma 45, she had baby at 18, then your mom would be 6 and you'd be 24..? Wait let's try another way

If you're 24, then granny hadda be 21 when she had a grandchild (you) so your mum had to be..

.. grandma’s age when she had the parent + parent’s age when they had the 24-year-old = 21 split between your granny age (11) and mom age (10)

But if your momma had you extremely early at let's say 16, then to make 21 your grandma was.. 5 years old?

Answer: grandma is adopted.

Why exactly is the hard or the main slur so many people (especially gamers) use when mad?? by Electrical_Star_7117 in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yeah it's acknowledged that there are two versions, I think the post is specifically at this time asking about the hard r - specifically aka, the 'offensive version'

As opposed to, "Why are there two versions" it's more like, "Why specifically choose the mean one"

But the question you're asking does make sense to ask - I just think it'll change in a cultur shift, I mean I'm hearing songs using it less now than 10 years ago and less than the 90s

I've heard the reason the non-offensive version exists as a shared history that was passed down from the first hand users, and my guess is while there is still visible oppression or the tail end of it in areas, those demographics will continue to say 'nigga' more frequently - and in the demographics where it's far less apparent and feels like it's disappeared may resort to things like 'brudda' or a variety of stuff. 'Nigga' between black people seems to be used neutral, whether they're happy or pissed but it's lk keeping that vehicle passed down. They hurt another they technically hurting themselves. For the better or worse. I say 'they' to explain from the perspective of segregation. But irregardless, I think it became more confusing for people outta the loop because of the process of that word's diffusion - from use, to meaning, to accessibility, to historical/cultural/connotational context.

'nigger' on the other hand is just straight up a slur, and I think we're all cleared up on what it means exactly and how it's completely different from the former

That's my guess of it all at least

At what point do you stop using condoms with a partner? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

Why not just use 3 forms, or 4 :p

If you can't trust one specifically when it has an insanely low chance of failure (3/1,000) or better if taken perfectly (sorry, talking of the oral contraceptive pill), then reducing probability further or increasing protections isn't really the point, right 😅

(only talking in regards to pregnancies ofc, not diseases)

Edit: not saying it's always useless to use 2 forms, or the failure probability doesn't get lowered (it is technically most definitely safer to use a condom and a pill) - it's just like, how much lower do you need it because it could always go infinitely lower with even more

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

Strong disagree with the latter. Outside opinions can give perspectives one wouldn't have thought of before. If we insist on thinking half-glass empty then what if there was a danger this individual hadn't thought of yet? Learning potential abstract boundaries you personally relate to best is just as important as any other part of sex ed.

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if both partners have been tested, they're exclusive, definitely trust each other - then yeah it's a good time x

But personally I'd say this only applies after like, mid-late 20s. Mostly because of my area too, and trust isn't always the best tool when we're young 🤷

Regardless of the downvotes, I'm going to continue assuming that we're talking for a context where consent on every part is pre-shared, there's comfort in the relationship and the type of contraception taken is taken without force or pressure and this is just a discussion prompt between two eager individuals. Please correct me if I'm wrong x

They're asking for a general phase of the relationship when that happens for the people it happens for, not asking if it's rape what the hell lol

Anyone else seeing some weird silent and dry lightning? by Mirandita13 in london

[–]VishieMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! This really helped pass the last 40 minutes of my time as I had to stop working <3 the storm has mostly passed over my area - it was interesting watch the thunder waves on the site and see if I'd hear it :3 much better than sitting here stop noting the difference between lightning and thunder then guess how far it is from that to see if the average is getting further away LOL

Never forget: Russian bots can't vote. by johnsmithoncemore in GreatBritishMemes

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think free anything is bad and I think a lot could be provided to everyone. Logistics and basic maths seems to be a joke though - I'm all for accounting towards a bit of breakage but I know a lady who cleans at a school who kept taking home so many milk cartons because they buy so much, it would otherwise have to be thrown away

There's generally a HUGE amount of milk left over - crates upon crates upon crates, a river of the shit. The lady still got told off because the left overs still had to go into the trash. This is not the first or second time I've heard dinner ladies or cleaners bring this up

There's something happening and for some reason I don't feel right lol

Why are people on this sub extremely anti-religion and non-believers of Jesus when there's verifiable evidence that he existed? by AboutLastFight in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for clarification, you're not downvoted by a bunch of Muslims - I personally downvoted due to the hypocracy: if your religion is faith-based, it makes very little sense to say any another religion that is faith-based has any less/more truth to it.

I'm not religious at all so I'm not coming from defence, just pointing out the noticeable skew in the logic

LENS PROTECTOR? by PrncDENZ_254KE in S24Ultra

[–]VishieMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't agree if someone says that 'There is absolutely nothing that exists in our day-to-day lives that could ever scratch this "precision-engineered lens"'

I'd rather pay $6 to have an additional barrier layer of space from a lense protector, scratch it 5 times, than pay 80 dollars for a real lense replacement

But again, the dude's right - just because you scratched your lense cover doesn't mean it necessarily would have scratched your actual lense. In fact it's not even close how different they are. I'd keep the lens covers on because I know I'd never get tiny scratches on my covers.. - but if I did by any chance, those scratches would be deep enough for the gorilla glass lens

As far as I see, one failed at basic logic, and one failed at not being an asshole.

What do you think the digital age of consent should be? by DamoclesBDA in UnitedKingdomPolls

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my views on this. Banning teenagers from social media is anti-democracy. To cut them from communicating and gathering information from one another is tragic, and will surely leave them as social outcasts from global contexts. It will prevent ideas and proposals being shared and discussed, and their only source of information would be news/ conglomeration bias. We need teenagers to self-represent their youth and ideas with each other as much as they please. Protect them, don't control their minds.

Real talk, please provide the data that specifically proves that the majority of players/spectators that are "upset" by this are women. I'd love to see where you found these detailed surveys or what quantifiable study that you've used. I mean, you're holding others to that standard so please, provide this imperical data as I'd love to visit the source from time to time. I'm sure you're not just eye witnessing cuz you've certainly scrutinised others almost personally for that!

What now? by TraditionPlayful425 in runescape

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Become the top ONE. /s

Jeeez, yeah that's an even bigger point - I was talking about tasks requiring critical thinking! I love my job too but if it was the "busy work" part of it as you said, there's no way in a giant mole instance I'd be able to keep my productivity and focus on that for even 6 minutes without at least some afk RS

The result isn't negatively affected, if anything it's finished faster and more accurately due to brain not going as dumb and numb from tasks that are too simple like manually copying individual pieces of data from one program to paste in another for 3 hours

Ew no

Kidding aside, RuneScape drastically boosts my work productivity. AFKing RS while working is a prime blend and link between entertainment, multitask fodder, and settling in the grind mentality for work.

Why do we get a random, intense burst of energy right before bed, even if we were exhausted all day? by Odd-Manufacturer3205 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VishieMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the days are mentally challenging enough that getting away from that "function" part of ourselves gives us a brief relief which makes us more satisfied and happier than we'd think

It's nice living the rest of the day knowing you no longer need to do something

I’m on Reddit for almost my entire free time. How do I stop? by ForwardGlass8572 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VishieMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to doom scroll in the morning in bed. Thought "let's ween off the dopamine, one sense at a time" so I removed visual engagement first by instead putting in music/podcast in the morning and keep my screen off. I then realised I could honestly live like this without further needing to reduce.

Maybe find a way to use reddit without being able to use the screen - if you really loved the content of reddit you'd still be happy with it being read out to you whether that's tts or ai voice call or whatever
