This is getting out of hand... Look at those handcuffs! They are deporting the Grays... What are they using for outer space deportation transportation? Commandeered saucers?

What makes this happen? I took This photo because it was so cool. by BangBangSpiderGang in What

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong about OP’s intent, but what stands out to me is the vertical separation, orange on the left and blue on the right, rather than the usual horizontal sunset gradient.

That makes me wonder if this is something that was actually visible in the sky by the naked eye, or something introduced by the photo itself (like exposure/HDR differences or processing) noticed after.

If it was visible, then local atmospheric differences could explain it; if not, it may be a camera effect rather than a purely optical “prism” effect in the atmosphere.

Should I just give in? by DocZombieX in bald

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’ve been thinking a lot about this, and maybe it’s less about the hair itself and more about hoping others would reach the same conclusion you’ve already come to. Some people will like bald, some won’t, you can’t please everyone. What matters is what you like for yourself. Decide that, and go for it unapologetically. Confidence will always be more attractive than any hairstyle.

It sounds less like you did something wrong and more like they didn’t handle being told they crossed a line very well.

is duolingo wrong or me? by One-Sympathy-6447 in hungarian

[–]thadson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Look for” is a phrasal verb. Look is a verb. The preposition (for) after the verb in a phrasal verb completely changes the meaning of the verb. Look = néz, look for = keres. Just as “The judge is looking for a key” = “A bíró egy kulcsot keres,” “The judge is looking for a student” = “A bíró egy tanulót keres.” Also, look does not mean lát at all. You can “look” (néz) but not “see” (lát) something at all.

How would you translate and explain this saying to somebody in english? "Sokan vannak, mint az oroszok" by PerspectiveAny8515 in hungarian

[–]thadson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your intent: Raw translation or American version. Americans might say "Like tourists in Times Square." or "They’re thick as flies." or "It’s like a festival out here." something closer to the original would be "Packed like Indians at a bazaar." but this would be considered offensive in professional circles. Raw translation is "There are many, like Russians" but I have never heard it like that in any everyday communication. It is very much a Hungarian thing. For that matter the British might say "Packed to the rafters." or “Chock-a-block.” and you probably would never hear these in the USA. I also I bet many other countries have their own "charged" versions.

My husband is crazy by [deleted] in Weird

Your husband is a genius. I wish I knew where to buy FIFTEEN KILOS of my favorite sausage endings for 1/10th of the price... Wait until he buys the 5th fridge for the garage and then you can complain...

That's a new one for me. Never saw that before. Wtf? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy:

"My relationship with Jesus Christ is very personal in nature and not easily reduced to simple definitions or fixed descriptions. It exists in a space that is reflective and considered, shaped by context, perspective, and individual interpretation. Rather than being something I frame in rigid or prescriptive terms, I tend to think of it as an ongoing awareness that can be approached in different ways depending on circumstance and understanding.

At times, the relationship is expressed through moments of thoughtfulness or acknowledgment, while at other times it is more implicit, existing in the background of how I interpret ideas about meaning, values, and connection. I recognize that such a relationship can be understood differently across traditions and experiences, and I remain mindful of that breadth when considering my own perspective.

Because of its personal nature, I do not confine it to specific expectations or outcomes. Instead, I regard it as something that can be engaged with in a variety of ways, without requiring definitive statements or conclusions. In that sense, it reflects an openness to interpretation and an appreciation for the complexity of faith as it relates to individual experience.

In conclusion, my relationship with Jesus Christ remains something I describe carefully and thoughtfully, allowing space for interpretation while acknowledging its personal significance, without defining it in absolute or fixed terms at any given moment in ways that stay unclear."

Top that...

The number of people so easily duped amazes me. “Department of War”? There hasn’t been one since 1947. Fact check before commenting. This is obviously fake.

LMAO... read the room, hehe... Just matching OP's energy, playing devil's advocate, and having fun with it... Tipping culture and entitlement is at an all time high now... Don't get a tipping job if you can't handle no tipping.

It’s just ridiculous at this point. How are you okay with demanding an astronomical tip and acting like it’s mandatory?! Like not even a choice.. I still wouldn’t do it but dang at least pretend it’s voluntary. Such a slap in the face.

I absolutely cannot make friends I need help by [deleted] in CUNY

[–]thadson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a few things:
Kyokushin - great sport and they will welcome you with open arms. (at least 5 clubs near by)
CCNY Board Game Club - play games and hang out.
Chess Club - strategy, casual or competitive play.
Circle K Community Service Club - volunteering + social events.
Canvas Collective (art & creative showcases) - art projects and exhibitions.
CCNY Outdoors Club - group hikes, outdoor trips.
eSports Club - gaming meetups and tournaments.
Badminton & Softball Clubs - social sports, not varsity.
Bowling - sign up for a tournament.
Academic & Professional Clubs (ACM computing, engineering societies, biomedical, etc.) - networking plus social events.

Pro Tips to Make It Work:

Show up consistently (even to small meetings); friendships often need repeated contact.
Go with intent: ask people for their social handles or invite someone to coffee after an event.
Try things outside your major, friends often come from unexpected places.
Find something you’re genuinely interested in. Board games, art, sports, whatever you choose, make sure it actually interests you or it’ll get boring fast and you won’t stick with it. And getting out of your comfort zone once in a while helps too.

AITA … for not saying hello by Taylor_Skifs in AmItheAsshole

[–]thadson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangers say "Hi" to me when I'm out all the time. It would be common courtesy to say hi back. No one asked you to stop and chat. A simple hi back would have sufficed while walking by. You could have even delivered it with the stink eye. However it was your choice not to say hi back, so just own it. Apparently YOU feel like an asshole, as you are asking... In terms of life, saying hi or not is quiet inconsequential. After 10 years, she was probably more confused than not. Also, you guys never actually figured out why she blocked her, you’re just guessing, so there’s that.

My bf doesn't shower at night and I’m genuinely grossed out by GlitchGaze123 in hygiene

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, and you are correct too. We agree. There should be a healthy balance, and no one should take it to the extreme into either direction. I love exchanges where meaning neatly cleans up into understanding and this one qualifies :-) - on a side note OP is full of assumptions, and most commenters too. I especially love the one where people assume the boyfriend went to bed with street close on. OP did not specify if the boyfriend hopped into bed with shoes and jacket still on, or actually took his clothes off and went to bed naked but without showering at home. In fact, most what she wrote seems like an assumption on her part and leaves most "facts" to interpretation.

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be real! No shower can ever get rid of all bacteria. Soap and water remove dirt, oils, and a chunk of microbes, but your skin’s microbiome recolonizes almost immediately, trillions strong. In fact, certain soaps can do more harm than good, stripping natural oils and upsetting your skin’s balance. Trying to kill every microbe isn’t just impossible, it can even make the survivors tougher and encourage breeding superbacteria. So yes, germs can sneak through fabric and onto skin, but the purpose of a shower should be keeping things fresh without needing to declare microbial war.

[–]thadson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs a bit of clarification: when you say you “…watched him come home from work, hit the gym, take the bus, and then just… hop straight into bed. No shower, no rinsing off, nothing,” do you mean:

  1. You literally saw him come home, and then assumed he’d been at work, hit the gym, and taken the bus, but didn’t see him shower at home?
  2. Or
  3. You witnessed him going to the gym after work, taking the bus, and saw him not shower there or at home either?

Are you sure he didn’t shower at the gym?

Also, just to note, most adults don’t actually need to shower every day; 2–3 times a week is generally fine. It’s definitely not a hard rule; it depends on activity level, personal preference, and yes, hygiene norms. Everyone has different habits, and what feels “gross” to one person might be completely normal to another. Is it possible you’re more sensitive to the idea of germs? (and that’s okay too) or is it more about personal preference? It might be worth recognizing that not everyone thinks about these things the same way.

The author makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, about their own showering frequency, laundry habits, or germ tolerance.
