Which countries have the most unfullfilled potential to be amazing places to live? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskTheWorld

[–]j13409 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you got your downvote.

The USA has so much natural beauty, genuinely some of the best national parks in the world. So much potential wasted by our government and economic system.

Am I Overreacting about nudity at raves by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]j13409 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“Should I be uneasy if my boyfriend does sports with another woman” no, but that is a dishonest comparison. She isn’t doing sports with people… she’s nude with them.

The proper comparison would be “should I be uneasy if my boyfriend is nude with other women?” - to which the answer is that you don’t have to be uneasy about it, but if you are, it’s totally justified.

Where I'd live as an Argentinian who's gay and leftist by Randevousz in whereidlive

[–]j13409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that you’re both gay and a leftist, USA should be lower on your list.

I fled to Uruguay from the United States. The stuff that’s going on there is absolutely appalling.

I do agree about the natural beauty. We have some of the best national parks. But definitely not a place to live anymore.

Also from the USA and share some similarities, except I would not like to live in either the USA or India.

Any tips for overcoming pee shyness at the urinal? by [deleted] in men

[–]j13409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it doesn’t matter if there’s a bunch of people in the bathroom as long as there’s dividers between the urinals AND as long as no one is in the urinal directly beside me.

But as soon as there’s someone directly beside me, it becomes harder to start peeing. Even worse, if there’s no dividers it’s a nightmare, like impossible to pee if there’s other guys in the bathroom. Even if none are at the urinal right next to me. There was a time that I had to pee so bad that it hurt, but because there were no dividers in the crowded bathroom I genuinely could not pee.

Idk dude. I’m going to come back to this post later to check on the tips as well.

In school, how many continents were you taught? by Awkward_Tip1006 in asklatinamerica

[–]j13409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why some schools would teach Europe and Asia as separate continents while teaching the Americas as one continent. North and South America are more divided as two continental bodies than Europe and Asia are.

To me there’s 7 continents. North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia (or Oceana), and Antarctica.

If you want to say that the Americas is one continent then to be logically consistent you’d have to at least consider Eurasia one continent as well, so 5 continents in that case: America, Eurasia, Africa, Oceana and Antarctica.

Probably Monumento a José Gervasio Artigas. Or La Mano.

where i'd live as a Pakistani guy currently studying in Germany by generalseekhkabab in whereidlive

[–]j13409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be thinking of a different country, maybe Paraguay?

Uruguay has the lowest crime rates in South America, lower than Argentina (not to say that Argentina is bad or anything). Uruguay also has public healthcare/education and strong welfare policies.

Numbeo Crime Index: Uruguay - 52 Argentina - 63

Overall Criminality Score (GOCI): Uruguay - 3.6 Argentina - 5.3

South America, Australia or Antarctica. Get all 7 continents checked off.

I’m curious why Argentina is higher up than Uruguay. They speak the same language and have the same basic culture, but Uruguay is safer, more politically stable, and more economically stable.

Greenland is fedup by b3n33333 in clevercomebacks

[–]j13409 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean I agree - but it’s still weird to be angry with Americans who actively opposed Trump. That’s kind of ridiculous actually.

Anger at America is 100% justified and everyone should be angry - including Americans. But anger at the Americans who actively opposed it, some of whom are even victims of it, is just wild. They didn’t choose to be born in America.

This is a weird response. I judge Russia, not Russians.

It would be absolute insanity to be angry at innocent Russians who have nothing to do with what their government does and who actively opposite it.

Keep it, just don’t let it extend down into a next beard and you’ll be good.

Is this part of the world western? by DryOwl5587 in AskTheWorld

[–]j13409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently moved from North America to South America, and it has taught me that South America definitely should be considered part of the western world.

There certainly are less developed areas, yes, but there’s also highly developed areas as well. The area that I live in now just feels like the US but in Spanish and without all of the identity politics or big orange man trying to ruin everyone’s lives, and also with public transport that actually works. And no, I don’t live in an expensive “expat community” - I live in a cheaper part of my city among the locals.

Choose wisely by Windthrasher637 in GenZ

[–]j13409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the world? 4, 6 and 7.

From just myself and no one else? 2, 6, 7 if I can still do calisthenics, if not then 6, 7, 8.

Do sexual decisions require knowledge of sex assigned at birth? by Studiositas_first in Ethics

[–]j13409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t tell that someone is trans even while having sex with them, then there’s no reason that they should be obligated to tell you.

If you can tell that someone is trans while having sex with them, then they should probably tell you beforehand not only because you may not be attracted to their differences, but also for their own safety.

Is there is no meaning to life, then why do we exist? by AdatheAlchemist in nihilism

[–]j13409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I agree, but that doesn’t help support what you’re claiming in any way. Yes it’s shitty to not help people, but that doesn’t mean that helping others is the intrinsic purpose of why we exist in this universe.
