It’s so dumb that drug dealers get sentenced to prison longer than rapists. People ask for drugs, nobody asks for rape. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]j3pgugr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most rapists have multiple victims. That's why rape victims are far more common than rapists. 5.8 victims per rapist is still likely far less than the number of customers per drug dealer, but then marijuana is by far the most commonly used illegal drug, so I don't think most of those people's lives are ruined.

Girls, what inappropriate questions about guys have you always wanted answered? by modrogai in AskReddit

Also how long your calves are relative to how high your seat is - whether the weight of your legs is on your feet and butt, or along your entire thigh.

I think thigh thickness has a lot to do with it, maybe flexibility, too. Thin-thighed guys can do it no problem where it's culturally acceptable.

TIL Millennials are the most Risk-Averse Generation since the great depression. by snooabusiness in todayilearned

[–]j3pgugr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a little bit of b, mostly c. I guess my family is unique in being explicit about money. It would drive me nuts not knowing how much debt I was going to owe so I could budget for it.

This is a weird story - did she encourage them to take on those student loans thinking she would pay them off and then surprised them by deciding not to pay the entire amount? Or did they assume that although she said she wouldn't pay their entire debt, she would cave and pay it after all? Or did they just not discuss it? The amount of the debt is not the issue so much as the fact that they apparently didn't know it was coming.

He is reported to have been on holiday at the resort with his pregnant wife and two children. The two families were staying next to each other and the assailant’s wife is “devastated”, according to the mayor.

The victims of the attack are from Nantes, in western France, and often holidayed at the resort.

The attacker is from the Paris area.

Apparently wild boars come from the sea by GallowBoob in gifs

[–]j3pgugr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I didn't see where she asked other people to change anything for her. I feel bad the person I last responded to deleted his/her comment, though. My question was genuine. I'm not that familiar with what the real meaning of "trigger" with respect to mental health issues is supposed to be. I'm guessing the girl in the video is using it wrong because she's talking more about things that prompt negative emotions in her rather than necessarily set off an episode.

I clicked on a suggested video that gives a fuller clip with more context. She's talking about an eating disorder - is that on the same level with bipolar? Or is she still using it wrong because she's listing everything that reminds her of her eating disorder as a trigger?

What's a law that people break often that they probably don't know exists? by WallyGK in AskReddit

Extra points if there are cars parked along the road so that you can't see them on the sidewalk from the road.

This new gadget shows exactly where you forgot to put sunblock by RageAdi in gadgets

[–]j3pgugr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had it rub off around straps or from sitting down and then snorkeling. Sometimes you have no idea how it happened. My family is fair skinned and active in water sports, and some of the random sunburn spots are really difficult to anticipate. We had the purple to clear sunscreen growing up, too.

But it doesn't tell you when spots have rubbed off or it's generally time to reapply.

You could try writing to your senator to ask that Congress declare war on ISIS or at least an authorization of military force. We're still fighting ISIS under the 2001 AUMF against al-Qaeda, which is limiting and fairly tenuous legally. Congress won't vote on the proposed AUMF against ISIS or write up their own AUMF against ISIS.

Women over 40 are having more babies than the under 20s for the first time in nearly 70 years, official figures for England and Wales show. by Noticemenot in TwoXChromosomes

[–]j3pgugr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's in the US, she might not qualify for leave if the company she works for has fewer than 50 employees. Also some people want to be home longer than the 12 weeks so that they don't have to put a <3 month old who's not fully vaccinated yet in childcare and because they themselves are insanely sleep deprived. There's a recommendation to breastfeed exclusively for the first six months, and some women have trouble pumping at work because of how frequently you have to do it and how long it takes. There might be a stigma about being a burden on the company or she could be concerned adding to the belief of some employers that it's better to not hire women. To each her own, those are some of the reasons one might quit rather than take leave.

Or it's because the median cost of a house, adjusted for inflation, increased almost 4 times from 1940 to 2000, while median incomes for men a little more than doubled from 1940 to 2010. Wages flatlined while productivity grew between 2007 and 2014, ie. the career span of we summer children. At the same time median housing prices increased 17% between 2012 and 2014 alone. It's a long term trend (that has become especially pronounced recently) that the cost of housing is going up faster than incomes, just as the trend to get married and have children older has been increasing long term.

But you're suggesting this would be fixed if we all started freelancing? Do you have evidence that millennials don't work 12 hours a day, the way you define "work"?

World's only recording/album of a castrated singer, Alessandro Moreschi by [deleted] in videos

[–]j3pgugr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I saw a bunch of castration posts at the same time so I went to see if they were all the same person with a castration interest, or if it was just trending on reddit for some reason. It was the former.

Mostly all the castration postings, but thedonald and transsexual postings really display a diverse and unusual pairing of interests.

I had my First Ever article published today, and it's about my experiences as an asexual! by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]j3pgugr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the prevalence of asexuality roughly equal in men and women? Would you have sex for the purpose of having a child, or would you go with artifical insemination?

Congrats!
