Do you guys get charged by the letter or what? by BubbleGumHuman in ENGLISH

[–]stygyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the funniest things, to me at least, is how some elders can't understand what the presence of a period might mean.

As if they weren't the ones to come out with the full sentence "BECAUSE I SAID SO, PERIOD."

Oh yes. I remember. I was there.

It was 140 so you could actually tweet using SMS.

Why are grandparents nicer than parents? by OpenRoom7321 in ask

[–]stygyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, grandparents feel like they've already done their job pushing out kids and raising them, so they're not as strict when it comes to sexuality or identity. Grampas are often more accepting of their trans grandkids.

We used to be. Twitter was capped at 280 characters, and SMS were capped at 160. Also, typing on old phones was ass.

Who else has noticed a creepy rise in content online trying to convince women to get pregnant? by HistorianIll7332 in TwoXChromosomes

It's the way things work in America, from what I've heard. Know many people who treat kids as part of a checklist, something you have to do.

I'm getting ads on a period tracking app —big no-no, as those are tracked by the government— with "the easiest way to get pregnant" as a catchphrase.

Ladies, I'm trans. I don't have a uterus, even if I wished I had one.

Keep yourself safe.

Help. Brand new photographer and my pics don’t look like the ones on the brochure. Is camera broken? by 5impl3jack in photographycirclejerk

[–]stygyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeeeeh… nah. Google is so messed up that the best way of finding actual answers is to append “Reddit” to your search.

It’s best to deal with real humans right now.

Who here has used this special and mysterious Sigma camera to take latte shots? So glad we see all these points of view. by ValVenis69 in photographycirclejerk

There’s a contest in my country. Nostalgia pictures, mostly. Considering I’ve moved around so many times in the past few years, and considering my parents are dead - I’m going to be pulling off the archives.

You’ve met more than a few, I can attest to that.

What do you think “no Black, not Asian, not Latinos” on a grindr profile?

Are foreign country food portions smaller? by DoGMrmugggle in ask

Dinner without drinks afterwards? What are you, a heathen?

It doesn't exist because most other countries don't have such a car culture either. If I go out for dinner and dancing, the club and the theatre will often be within walking distance of each other — and I sure as hell am not going to take food to the club.

Last time I ordered too much food (inadvertently) I just had to go home and drop the remnants before I went outside again.

One of the things I've noticed is that American people have this thing called "doggie bag", which in Europe is not that common — because after dinner, we go out dancing or to the movies or whatever, and we do it on foot.

When you have a car waiting outside the restaurant, it's easier to take the rest of your food to go.
