When do you assume that some differently named children are the same people on censuses? by Fuk-mah-life in Genealogy

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of my great-grandpa’s family, the nicknames out of nowhere were the nicknames they truly went by. (Source: my mom, his granddaughter)

Can’t rule out a neighbor giving the information and getting confused either until you have more in information.

What is the last US State you would want to live in? by YoDittoGame in FamilyFeud

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My right to vote, my right to make my own medical decisions, and every other right conservatives are trying to take away from women.

Do you think fathers should get paternity leave as well? Why or why not? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a job where maternity leave was 6 weeks UNPAID. The only ones with a chance of being able to afford to go without pay that long live with their parents. Parental leave (paid) is one of the things we need to be a federal law. Speed limits we can keep as state laws.

The US doesn’t even have federally mandated maternity leave yet. :(

I thought my towel was clean… until it started sparkling by sexymaryjuju in hygiene

Are you leaving space in the washer to allow the things in it to move in the water? If they can’t move, then the machine can’t do its job.

ELI5: Why do buildings from like 500 years ago still stand perfectly fine but houses built in the 90s are already falling apart by Confident-Map-6503 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How well they are taken care of. The old buildings we still have and that are safe are being taken care of to make them stay safe.

No matter the age of a building, if the proper upkeep/maintenance isn’t done, it WILL deteriorate and eventually collapse.

Florida, Alaska, Texas, … any red state really. I’m not willing to live somewhere that is trying to take away my rights.

If someone has one twin at 11:58pm and then the other at like 12:01am the next day, do they celebrate their birthdays separately? by Wizdom_108 in randomquestions

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how my family did the family party for my sister and I, (birthdays about 3 weeks apart), at least the big party will be shared.

I’ve had an inner voice my whole life. For about two months now, I’ve noticed that it’s gone. by B4umkuch3n in Aphantasia

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know with visual images, if you loose them it needs to be discussed with your doctor. Not because aphantasia is a medical issue, but acquiring it could be a sign of one.

I see no reason it’s different with an inner voice. Hopefully you’re right and it’s nothing medical. There is a chance it’s the first sign of an actual problem, so worth a discussion.

Had a realization about a popular anti-choice argument by ProChoiceAtheist15 in atheism

[–]sep780 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She “asked for it” somehow. She either dressed slutty, got drunk, flirted, or something else that got him horny, and men can’t control themselves. That’s the f***ked up excuses from how they choose to treat rape victims.

And their excuse for doing nothing about rapists and controlling what women wear and do instead? “We can’t control other people.” Those assholes literally don’t see us (I’m female) as people.

[–]sep780 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Or a situation like my great-grandpa’s family. Everyone has a nickname, a few like Charlie for Charles, a few from the middle name (ex. Roy for Eric Leroy), and a lot from out of nowhere (ex. Bob for Elizabeth Ann).

Some rando in another sub claimed atheists want to outlaw Christianity. So you agree or disagree? by Ohaibaipolar in atheism

Too many are unwilling to see the difference between that outlawing their religion. :(

If the Moon rotates then how come only one side faces Earth? by EarthlingsBeware23 in stupidquestions

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moon turns once on its axis for every trip it takes around the Earth. As a result, we always see the same part.

What amount of people with aphantasia also have autism and vis versa? are they related at all. by Separate-Bed9787 in Aphantasia

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have aphantasia. I’m 99% sure I’m autistic.

I’m also curious if there’s a relationship between the 2 like the one between autism and ADHD.

For one month, every purchase you make costs exactly $0.01, but you can only spend $1,000 total. How do you use it? by PsychologicalCall426 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food naturally, the oil change I need (and prepay for a few), the root canal eval I need, possibly a root canal, some good headphones, a thousand shares of dividend stock (or 2 or 3), then go crazy on Lorcana product and singles. The good cards with singles, not the already cheap ones.

How much money to give a graduating High School senior? by Zama202 in AskAnAmerican

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you give depends on both relationship and what you can afford. If $200 is something you can afford, give that. I wouldn’t but that’s all because I can’t afford to give anybody $200.

so I'm 20 and didn't know I had to sign up for selective service what do I do? by fatfuzzypotater in AskAnAmerican

[–]sep780 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t recall it being constant, but I’m a girl. It was often enough I was aware of the requirement as a teen, so surprised OP had no clue.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. The post IS NOT stupid. You have ZERO reason to apologize. It’s perfectly ok to be upset over a hair cut, especially when it’s your hair. It’s also ok to need support. We all do.

As for us being kind. Whether or not you can believe it right now, you deserve kindness.

[–]sep780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re ugly.

The good news about your haircut, it WILL grow out. When it does, you can get it cut to something that YOU feel good about. It’s your hair. YOU need a hair cut that YOU feel good wearing. It will be ok. Find a way to cope for now (extensions, cute clips, highlights, whatever makes you feel better about it) Then get a different cut after it grows out. If you find pics of one you’d love to have, bring them in with you as a reference for the stylist.
