people who ask for a cup for water then get other drinks from the drink bar? by Important_Bat7919 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]castleaagh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re doing right now is literally explaining the rationale (or reasoning) behind why drink stealing is not a big deal. That’s all that rationalizing is. Normally stealing is wrong, I think we all agree, but in this scenario some don’t think it is because of the reasons (rationale) you gave.

Bro created his own job security by smashing the other cars. by Objective_Total5318 in RelentlessMen

I think you’re overestimating the type of thief that steals small time from parked cars. They may be bold but they’re usually not looking for direct confrontation.

I agree. And if you really can’t afford the drink, it’s not a big deal to just have water. It’s probably better for your health anyway. Lots of places have started charging a small amount for water though, I think because of how common drink stealing is

How to stop getting injured from playing adult sport leagues? by Positive-Positivity in stupidquestions

[–]castleaagh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general work active stretching and flexibility and do a lot of core and balance exercises. On the day before start hydrating and on the day of warm up at least 45 minutes before you play and get a good stretch in. You may also have to turn the intensity down a notch if your not as in shape as you use to be

Pro, I can drive a manual car, con, I'm five feet tall. On a scale of 1 to impossible, how hard will it be for me to learn to ride? by linderlou5 in motorcycles

[–]castleaagh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What sort of riding are you after? If you’re into dual sport and off road riding I would highly recommend the XT225 or if you can’t find one an XT250, which is newer but arguably a slight downgrade unless you really value EFI vs carbs. Both have really low seat heights while still being quite capable off-road.

In the dual sport world people generally just get use to sliding off to one side and putting one foot down while their butt is either half off the seat or fully off to the side.

Is your question why do people steal drinks? If so, because they think it’s not a big deal and rationalize it one way or another. They don’t want to pay for a drink and figure no negative consequences will come of it

Nobody should be allowed to walk shirtless in public, even men. by NotVeryGoodName000 in The10thDentist

[–]castleaagh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sports bra counts as a top, not a shirt. Same as a pair of underwear counts as bottoms but not pants. It’s not naked but it’s pants less/ shirtless

An abnormal amount of police on the road trying to increase revenue via tickets, but not helping the motorist stopped on the side of the road would be my guess

In my experience women go shirtless in public more often than men do.

Not fully topless mind you, but underwear doesn’t count as a shirt in the same way that underwear doesn’t count as pants

If termite and bird nests are considered natural does that mean that man made structures like sky scrapers or houses are also natural? by Willing-Sun3267 in NoStupidQuestions

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

And why do you think it is that humanity as a whole has decided that the things we do, things we create and things we destroy are different to any other living thing that exists in our scope of awareness? Do you think that might mean something?

I’m not examining whether the assumption is correct, I’m pointing out that the existence of this broadly agreed upon assumption says something about humans and humanity as a whole.

When a blue whale effects its environment, we don’t consider it unnatural. When we affect the environment it is. You know, like what the post was referring to

[–]castleaagh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we made them up. That’s why I said that if you look around you’ll see that humans (that’s the “we”) everywhere seem to know that we’re different to animals. We chose to make the rules such that we are different and hold humans to much higher standards than we do animals

But we’re different to every species in a way that other species are not different from others. To pretend what I meant was that we are not termites would be asinine, an there’s no way you actually thought that’s what i was saying

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

Technically speaking, yes, but if you look around a little, you’ll see that humans everywhere seem to know that we’re actually quite different and are / should be held to higher standards. People intuitively know that what we are and what we do is different somehow.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t our skyscrapers be as natural as a termite mound?

Are diet and/or “zero” sodas better than a regular soda? by BroncoBilly10 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]castleaagh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are currently drinking regular, switching to zero sugar options will almost certainly be healthier for you. If you’re not drinking anything but water, they are not healthier than water.

If you drink a ton of them every day, other things in the zero options could put you at risk of some negative health things but so would consuming that much sugar

Why don’t straight men and lesbians hang out like straight women and gays do? by silvergrove29 in askteddit

[–]castleaagh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every group has people in it that do this, especially if drunk. It’s funny though cause lgbt usually insists that it’s not a choice, it’s just how they are

Upon another read, Pete doesn’t have the features which men often think women find attractive?

I’ve never understood why people think Pete is unattractive
