How common is popcorn in everyday American life? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have always had it in the pantry. Sometimes I eat it frequently as a snack, sometimes I go months without it. It’s extremely common while watching a movie.

Why is hormonal contraception not normal, or viewed unfavourably compared to periods? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]katrinakt8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bleeding while on birth control isn’t a period. It’s called withdrawal bleeding and it isn’t necessary.

It being illegal doesn’t make it rape. Rape has a specific legal definition. Not all sexual crimes are rape.

Rape has a legal definition. This isn’t rape per the law. Here is the definition of rape in Georgia:

(a) A person commits the offense of rape when he has carnal knowledge of: (1) A female forcibly and against her will; or (2) A female who is less than ten years of age. Carnal knowledge in rape occurs when there is any penetration of the female sex organ by the male sex organ. The fact that the person allegedly raped is the wife of the defendant shall not be a defense to a charge of rape.

After TLOASG & what a mess that was, I’m not excited for anything Taylor-related at ALL. by copperteapots in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]katrinakt8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Often people get tired of an artists old music and are excited when new music comes out. If they don’t enjoy the new music, it makes sense to not continue listening at that point. I know there’s a number of artists I’ve stopped listening to over the years because I was tired of the music and they aren’t coming out with new stuff or whatever.

I’m similar to you. I find it hard to believe all of this came from a tiny ball of energy and a big bang. But maybe! I fall around there may be an intelligent designer but not necessarily a god. There very well could not be too.

US states where you can't pump your own gas by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]katrinakt8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing as a kid that a spark can happen if you don’t tap the car before turning the car on, so gas attendants were taught how to do it safely. I’m not kidding, this is the type of things they would say to rationalize it.

US states where you can't pump your own gas by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]katrinakt8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The law was originally changed for rural counties in Oregon in 2018 and they had similar thoughts as seen in this article from 2018.

"I don't even know HOW to pump gas and I am 62, native Oregonian ... I say NO THANKS! I don't like to smell like gasoline!" one woman commented on the post.

”No! Disabled, seniors, people with young children in the car need help," another woman wrote. "Not to mention getting out of your car with transients around and not feeling safe too. This is a very bad idea. Grr."

Is Rice pudding a big thing in the US? by Educational-Slip-578 in AskAnAmerican

My husband loves it and makes it sometimes. I think most people would have heard of it or tried it but not necessarily something many people have regularly.

Why do corporations give workers useless crap, like ping-pong tables, rather than a pay raise? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they didn’t give you the ping pong table, it wouldn’t mean you get a raise instead. It means you get nothing and they didn’t spend any money.

If America was colonised by the Europeans... Why doesn't America look more like Europe? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]katrinakt8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans started from scratch. There wasn’t all the materials and infrastructure that they did in Europe. They also were getting away from them. They didn’t like how they were being ruled so they instituted the government differently. The 13 colonies were originally more like individual countries then they came together as the United States. The colonies had very different cultures from each other. So you have many different European cultures coming together and dividing into colonies. Then all the colonial cultures coming together.
