What would happen if you maxed out your credit cards and line of credit then fled to some village in the phillipines?
For the record, I have no intention of doing this, just wondering why I don't hear about it more often.
2 pairs of my headphones are engaging in a size-shaming and cuckhold relationship
I have a pair of nice bluetooth headphones that I really liked and then I got a pair of cheaper ones to use whenever my good ones were charging. The nicer pair have these soft flexible ear tips that are comfortable and shape to my ear. The cheaper pair have a more rigid texture with a slightly larger tip.
Sometimes i fall asleep with the cheaper pair in and after a few months, I'm noticing that my nicer ones don't fit as nicely anymore. My ear holes have actually been stretched and gaped by those cheaper headphones to the point where I use the cheaper ones more than my nice ones because the nice ones don't fill out my ruined whores of ear holes anymore.
Lemmings who can fall asleep within minutes of their head hitting the pillow, what's your secret?
Are you just always tired? Do you have some kind of bedtime ritual? Have you had issues sleeping in the past and how did you handle that?
There should be a test in high school followed by regular 5 year examinations to grade you as a roommate
If you've lived with roommates you've probably thought about how much better life could be if people were graded on their cohabitational skills like a pokemon card or something so you have a heads up on people you're going to be sharing personal space with
If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort?
Part 2: what if you found out their diagnosis 1 week after birth
Why does it seem like the majority of people think problems are caused by drugs rather than problems causing people to turn to drugs?
I was never heavy into drugs but I smoked weed a fair bit in my 20s, knew a lot of other daily users of weed as well as some harder drugs. I don't think I ever came across a person that randomly decided to do drugs for no reason one day and got hooked. They were all people who had pretty messed up problems in their life that were too complex for them to fix on their own.
So it confuses me when people instantly assume that someone is in a bad situation due to drugs rather than them using drugs to deal with a bad situation. And yes I know drug abuse makes problems worse the vast majority of the time but it's not what I see as the root issue in a lot of cases, the drug use is a symptom/coping mechanism for people that society have let fall through the cracks.
Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
I know I'm not the only one who feels like I'm getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?
What's a part of your current life that your 10 year old self might not even believe is true if you travelled back in time and told them?
Stuff like having a smart phone, development of chatGPT, current events, etc.
Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it?
For example, my car is parked in a single lane driveway, mom's car is in the garage, she opens the garage door, zooms backwards and puts a hole in my front bumper with her trailer hitch. Then she comes inside to wake me up and yell at me. Is that just an extension of narcissism or what words are there to describe someone like that?
Does anyone else feel irritated when deeply religious people connect everything with god?
For example, you put yourself through university by studying hard and working full time. Then someone says, you should thank god for giving you the strength. Like wtf do you mean, I busted my ass day in and day out but I'm supposed to thank god for it?
