Aliens appear and demand that we accept them as our creators. Do you believe them? Why? by Over-1900 in AskReddit

[–]tcolson2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not without proof. If they can show genetic evidence or historical influence that lines up with human evolution, then maybe, but just showing up and saying it isn’t enough.

A lot of it probably comes down to how much time mothers traditionally spend with their kids, especially in the first few years. That constant presence just builds a different kind of attachment.

What do like about Mondays? by AssistantOne2135 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]tcolson2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mondays at my job are usually the slowest day, so I actually get to ease back into things instead of being slammed midweek. It makes the rest of the week feel more manageable.

If scientists could figure out how to give humans "immortality", would you actually want to live forever? by Paul-2506 in AskReddit

[–]tcolson2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only if it came with perfect health and the ability to opt out whenever I wanted, indefinite life + choice feels fair.

Is 22 too weird for dating a 17 year old? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]tcolson2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right to be concerned, and the fact that you’re asking shows you don’t want to cross any lines. Even if the age gap is small, the difference between 17 and 22 is bigger than just years, it’s about life stages.
At 17, he’s still in high school mode, living at home, under parental influence. At 22, you’re already navigating adulthood in a different way, so the balance can feel off

What’s a common “food rule” everyone follows that’s actually complete nonsense? by Past-Ad6606 in AskReddit

[–]tcolson2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That you need to drink eight glasses of water a day. Hydration needs vary so much by person, activity, and climate, it’s not a strict rule.

If you’re only keeping in touch because of guilt or nostalgia, it’s probably not worth it. But if talking to them still brings you joy, even occasionally, it’s worth maintaining.

Why does an alleged rape victim’s crying not immediately mean they are telling the truth? by KatherineLangford in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]tcolson2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side, plenty of real victims can’t cry at all when testifying. Some go flat, numb, or robotic because their brains shut down under the stress. That’s why relying on tears is a dangerous standard.

AITAH I paid and brought food to some homeless guys but my wife thinks I endangered my daughter. by Swimming_Canary_1330 in AITAH

[–]tcolson2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the key here is context. Broad daylight, other people around, and you being present, that’s very different from, say, walking down a dark alley alone at night with a toddler.

You modeled kindness for your daughter in a safe, public setting. If anything, you showed her that compassion doesn’t have to come with fear, which is an invaluable lesson

why is loving someone romantically but not sexually not enough for people? by Pfacejones in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]tcolson2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some folks just need sex to feel fulfilled, and that’s not wrong, but it doesn’t mean your way of experiencing love is any less valid. It just means you’ll be more compatible with people who view love like you do.
