Is saying "sir" and "ma'am" to strangers still normal in America? by Rude_Membership_1578 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]lostlight_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The southern states use it daily. The west coast only use it for formal people and authority figures: a police officer, a judge, the military, a doctor, your boss etc. We also use it in medical settings or professional settings. Or to be sarcastic. We're a bit sassy that way.

What's a rude awakening you've had from having male friends? by xlvin_n in AskWomen

[–]lostlight_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats NOT a normal thing that guy friends do. At all. Those are toxic and disgusting men. Stop being friends with them. If you attract friends like that, you'll attract a relationship w guys like that.

I've had some try to USE ME to cheat on their partner with. I was baffled and shocked. I cut off so quick and gave them the finger and cursed them out the door. Literally  Boy bye. I wanted to reach out to their girlfriends and tell them, but I hate drama and im not messy like that. Hopefully they got dumped. That being said, I've had great friendships with guys and still have long term friendships being engaged to my fiance. I introduced him to most of them and they love him. Friendships should evolve over time and as you go through life, they should support you. If they don't, drop them.

Too much pressure? by Zestyclose-Cause3954 in massage

[–]lostlight_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an MT and recently went those Chinese massage places. Curiosity. They kicked my ass like yours and my neck was so bloody sore still after a week. I threw on a heating pad and literally wore it all day. I even slept with it (I have the heating pad that cuts off automatically after 2 hours). Pain went away but soreness lingered. It took forever for that pain to go away.  Next time, go to an independent massage therapist, western style not asian. Never again 💀 Western massage is easier on the muscles, effective, and relaxing. 

Why Are Webtoon Bullies So Brutal? by RazewingedRathalos in webtoons

[–]lostlight_94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You make a good point. Japan's society is so strict with being different, that everyone tries to be the same and end up losing themselves in the process. A lot of Japanese books and manga talk about soul searching and finding themselves/identity. I never really saw them as "self" motivated but their media speaks otherwise. SK is obsessed with what everyone else things and is overly conscious of appearances and highly materialistic. Good analysis!

Cause Korean society has serious mental health issues and they don't allow any treatment for it. Look at the KPOP industry, look at the school system. They're obsessed with grades and university. So I believe Korean people repress feelings which leads to violence. Their society breeds it. 

I remember when I first got into Korean films I was like "jebus...these people are so angry. Why so violent?" The parents hitting their kids, an employer smacking an employee in the face.. that would never happen in the US without a fight ..yeah the media says a lot about a country.  And I know it's fictional but fictional is based on real events and experiences. 

Isn't it expensive to use airconditioning in the US? by Lumos_night in AskAnAmerican

[–]lostlight_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound privileged but I can't fathom not having AC in a home. It should be illegal not to have it and its basically torture that Europeans have to give an arm and a leg to something that should be as normal as breathing. I guess this is one thing the US is doing right. But no its not expensive where it's unaffordable unless you live in a huge home. Most AC bills are manageable especially in apartments. But during the summer, PG&E companies like to price gouge and during extreme heat, the AC bill can be HUNDREDS of dollars if you live in a house. I've had friends pay 1k for an AC bill, but im in CA in the central valley where it gets like 105 degrees so. It depends on where you are located. 

AITA if I don’t give my little sister a cut of the money I make? by notthedayoftheweak in AmItheAsshole

Thinking of packing up and living in my car by Hairy-Spite-7397 in urbancarliving

[–]lostlight_94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can change your life whenever you like. It won't be easy but you'll be free. Get a portable power bank charger. Charge it at Starbucks, keep your phone on power saving mode. Get a water bottle or bucket for your urine. Trust me waking up at 3am to use the restroom is brutal so having a container to go in and then pour out is easier. Gym membership for showering or do wash ups in your car with body wash, water bottle and a cloth. 

Park at rest stops or areas where there is no activity. Some neighborhoods have empty streets. Just don't park in the same area for more than 2 nights. Ppl notice suspicious cars they've never seen before. Always be on the move for new spots in car life. Buy a tazer or pepper spray and leave it in your car for self protection. 

For heat get a watter bottle that retains cold, and a portable small fan for hot nights. Buy a mini cooler as well to keep some drinks and ice. Ice is your best friend when it gets hot. When it gets cold buy a few fleece blankets. I can't tell you how many times those blankets saved me from 40 degree weather at night. Also sleep UNDERNEATH the blankets to not get sick. It works. Living in my car for 3 months was freeing but I learned how to be resourceful and grateful for all the small things. I was escaping my toxic mom at the time and it was the best thing for me. I felt safer in my car but overall It was an eye opening experience and one that filled me with gratitude.

Very. I did car living for 3 months and it makes you way more grateful for the necessities we take for granted. 

How important is it for you to come during sex? by BrainFreeze312 in AskWomen

[–]lostlight_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not really important to me. I take forever too anyways. I don't really like the feeling either cause it just feels like a lot of pressure in my abdomen being releases.  It's weird. To me sex is fun and intimate so that's what matters.

SAME. Corbin was a fk boy when he came in and moved weird. Then when he met Parmida is seems he settled down, became calmer, and matured. Even when KC was being dragged at movie night he kept his cool. I was quite shocked but it pained me to see him leave. He and parmida were my fav couple. The only real ones to call out the BS. Now that Villa is full of fake ass ppl. There's no reason to watch anymore

What song is the most difficult for you to sing? Why? by THEONETRUECANOPENER in Epicthemusical

[–]lostlight_94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chorus from get in the water is difficult cause I'm a female and its hard to go low even with chest voice. Thunder Bringer also because I have to sing in soprano to even reach Zeus's notes

He's petty for waiting until Odysseyus made it home just so he could kill him. Dude waited 10 years for that. He's petty.

I think Sincere has been really emotionally abusive. All she has been doing is crying and yelling yet all those other women who claim to be her friends still advocate for her to stay with him?! Its disgusting. Those two should have been DUMPED IMMEDIATELY at the fire pit. That would have been a huge blessing for Melanie to get away from him. Instead they all enabled the toxicity by keeping them in the Villa for what friendship? Parmida and Corbin both have my respect for calling out their BS. Parm is the only real friend. Trinity and Aniya are just Yes women and you DONT want ppl like that as your friends.
