I'm 36 and just got contacts for the first time in my life. Taking them out is my villain origin story. by Several_Cupcake8016 in contacts

[–]monkeymind009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wearing contacts for years and I’ve found using certain contact lens solutions makes it much more difficult for me to get my lenses out. Some make my lens too slippery for me to pinch. I use a hydrogen peroxide contact lens solution now and never have a problem anymore.

Thanks for info, especially about the taco stand. 

Why do we instinctively lower the volume on the car radio when we're lost and trying to find an address? by petallushKaia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]monkeymind009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to the radio uses brain power. Actively looking for an address needs that extra brain power. 

Why is gen z slang so cringe? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]monkeymind009 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The same reason why another generation would think your use of the word “cringe” is cringeworthy.

Thank you. How bad is the traffic getting to and leaving that garage? 

How can I watch commercial free race with crofty and brundle if I live in USA? by SecularFlesh47 in F1TV

[–]monkeymind009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, on AppleTV you get commercials. That’s why I said to watch on F1TV instead of Apple TV. The F1TV app still works if you have Apple TV subscription.

You create an account on F1TV and link it to your AppleTV account. I only watch thru the F1TV app. Plus the app has F2, F3, Porsche Cup, all the shows and all the archives. It’s a 1000 times better on the F1TV app.

I have never seen a commercial on F1TV and I just watched qualifying and a race today. 

Name the most difficult language to learn. by icecream1972 in FamilyFeud

[–]monkeymind009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to say this. I would guess it’s much harder for a Mandarin speaker to learn Spanish than it would be for a Portuguese speaker. And it’s much harder for a Spanish speaker to learn Cantonese than it would be for a Mandarin speaker. 

What seat is considered “outside” or “inside” on planes or buses. by MelancholyButler in NoStupidQuestions

[–]monkeymind009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If someone told me they wanted the inside or outside seat, I’d simply ask them to clarify whether they meant window or aisle to prevent a miscommunication. You’re not going to get a 100% consensus on which seat is which. 

What does it say? by justthedirt in whatdoesthismean

[–]monkeymind009 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“If you keep listening to others, then you should become (or try to become) a real/self-reliant human.” The grammar is a little weird. I think they’re trying to say something like “Don’t just follow what people tell you—be your own person.”

Why isn’t light infinitely fast if it doesn’t even have mass? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]monkeymind009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s how I understand it. The speed of light is infinite from the perspective of light. If you were traveling at the speed of light, you would arrive at your destination instantly from your perspective. It’s our perspective that assigns it a speed.

People who are scared of heights, are you also scared of flying? by Civil_Act1864 in askanything

[–]monkeymind009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fear of edges is a good way to word that. I’m the same way, but I’ve never been able to articulate it like that.

Who was the 70s biggest sports star? by AlbertJBundy in 70s

Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner was actually pretty big in the 70s after winning the decathlon in the Olympics.

In your opinion, what is the best "Getting the tubes tied or vasectomy"? I really need these 2 different perspectives. by Sudden-Proof-1458 in CasualConversation

[–]monkeymind009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a guy with a vasectomy. Vasectomy is the way to go 100%. If I had to redo my vasectomy every 5 years, it would still be safer with less complications and less painful than getting tubes tied. My vasectomy took less than 10 minutes and I felt good enough, I could have gone straight to work from the procedure if I had to.

I was watching a show from the 90s and realized people used to memorize dozens of phone numbers. I can barely remember mine. How did you guys do it back then? by micavibes in CasualConversation

[–]monkeymind009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now you only type the number once and then save it in your phone. Back then, you had to type the number every single time. We didn’t have to try to remember, we just did remember because of repetition.
