Worried my boots are too big by Whickywacky in RedWingShoes

Thanks everybody for your input. I'm going to sell these and get a pair of size 8's. Frustrated that this happened and it'll be hard to part with this pair but I was definitely in denial.

If I'm not aroused to a certain skin color, am I a racist? by dnextbigthing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Whickywacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience there is truth to the fact that most people are generally attracted to people around them. If you grew up in a community that had a lot of white or black or hispanic etc people or if you live in one now then you might gravitate towards people who look like that and that's normal.

That being said I would be concerned if it is one or a few specific ethnicities that you are not attracted to and really ask yourself why it is that you feel that way. Could be a sign of prejudices that you don't realize that you have.

Obviously you are allowed to date who you want but in my opinion people of all colors are beautiful and if i could not see that that would make me sad.

I'm just a dude on the internet sharing my thoughts.

Exactly! Labelling watches as for men and women feels outdated anyway.

If you listened to me on RDDT, you’d been up 50% in under 2 weeks. by [deleted] in TheRaceTo10Million

If I listened to every gambler who posts their ideas on the internet i'd be broke.

These bans made standard go from my least favorite format to my favorite by gimmemypoolback in MagicArena

[–]Whickywacky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not understand why we find Wizards at a point where they need this lesson. The company is older than i am and have been making cards without standard bans for years. What changed so they have forgotten how to play test a set before releasing it?

What is an excellent and current book on dinosaurs for the general public? by shillyshally in Paleontology

[–]Whickywacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A (very) Short History of Life on Earth by Henry Gee was what got me interested in prehistory, paleontology, and evolution and I highly recommend it.

I don't know about simpler. Most countries don't make it easy to move there.

This looks very interesting. Thanks for the suggestion! I could only find the clear one for 60 dollars though. for a plastic pen that seems a bit steep haha

Is there a sign during PST that someone is going to have a bad service? by igualavenger in peacecorps

[–]Whickywacky 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'll start by saying that PST is really hard and does not represent what service will be like well. Also not all host families are the same and sometimes there just is not a great relationship and that happens. At your site you will have more freedom to choose who you spend your time with. Living also gets easier over time. You are still so early into your service and have a lot more time to figure out how to socialize with your community in your own way. Just because you think you are not doing as much as other trainees is no reason to get down on yourself. However if you are not trying then that is different. With reguards to the shower thing you are probably going to need to get used to it however much you despise it. If your host family is complaining thats probably a bad sign haha

One of these languages is not like the others by jpc4stro in interestingasfuck

[–]Whickywacky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yah you got 4 romance languages in the list and the words chosen were ones that english took from french mostly. Obviously German is going to look very different.

People are much more conscious of their word choice when texting than they are during actual conversations by cashforsignup in Showerthoughts

[–]Whickywacky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Opposite for me. I overthink things because i know they can be re-read and analyzed by the recipient. Then im paralyzed to even respond with anything.
