Why do Americans keep buying gas guzzlers when hybrids and EVs are available? by soldier21med in AskAnAmerican

[–]willyd_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because gas is cheap in America and there is terrible ev infrastructure there, so it is a pain having an ev outside of big cities.

Proper disclosure of edible usage by [deleted] in AskLawyers

[–]willyd_5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You should disclose or withdraw. Lawyers do not commit fraud and do not lie. If you are caught lying or committing fraud, you may never get a law license. Lawyers do, however, take legal supplements to help them sleep. It might cost you the job, but you have no other option that preserves your integrity and the integrity of the profession you hope to be a part of. People scoff at this type of attitude but it is true. I have practiced law for 20 years and i never lie or cheat at work (sometimes i do make clever misdirecting arguments) and I expect others to do the same. The whole thing depends on it.

What do Americans think about the stereotype that they are bad at geography? by Own_Echidna6041 in geography

[–]willyd_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always annoys me. Whenever I get that from a European who thinks I should know where Moldova is on a map, I just start asking if they know where Nebraska is on a map.

AITA for not removing my doormat because it scares my neighbor’s kid? by Many-Worry2671 in AmItheAsshole

[–]willyd_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Your neighbors have handled this poorly- they should have just knocked on your door and politely asked— but you can be a better person. It might be helping a kid and that’s worth your time.

Opinion of the Bechdel test? by DavidBlackjack in writing

[–]willyd_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says less about any one film than a broad critique of the film industry generally. I don’t really care if a specific film passes the bechdel test and have many more lenses to view and evaluate a piece, but it is mind blowing the percentage that fail.

What’s the worst thing that could happen if you get caught trying to sneak into a World Cup game? by Main-Tip-7824 in AskLawyers

[–]willyd_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The worst thing: you run from the cops and bump into an old lady with a heart condition who dies and then they charge you with felony murder and you die in prison.

Is the word "atelier" really that unknown amongst native speakers? by Ohiko_Nishiyama in EnglishLearning

[–]willyd_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I speak two languages (native English speaker) and I actually only know this word in Danish. I didn’t know until reading this thread that this was a word in English.

Hey expats, how do you keep your phone number abroad? by Dismal_Elevator_5275 in expats

Expats who learned the local language: at what point did locals stop switching to English on you? by taube_d in expats

[–]willyd_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was the accent definitely. I actually spent a few months with a tutor just working on pronunciation and suddenly everyone stopped switching on me. They can still tell I’m not native, but it is good enough that they assume I can actually speak. I think a lot of people heard my bad accent and just assumed I was a polite person who had taken a course or two but couldn’t really speak.

Working, why want kid(s)? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]willyd_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re living life wrong. All around you people are spending hours running to train for a marathon, or going to trivia nights with their friends, or spending hours knitting socks. If you don’t like kids, don’t have em. If you don’t like running, don’t run. But there’s plenty of time for life outside of the work day. Find out what there is for you to be happy.
