  • Is the expectation of an apology ultimately narcissistic?

    Jump

  • I'm with you on words just being words. But there is one factor, especially in ongoing relationships (romantic, platonic, familial, whatever), that makes apologies important.

    I don't care about the feeling bad or the words or whatever, but I do care about acknowledging wrong-doing. Because if they haven't apologized, they might not think what they did was wrong, and there is absolutely no reason to believe if the situation came up that they wouldn't do it again.

    Now, don't get me wrong, plenty of people apologize and then do the thing again. But if they don't even apologize, it's practically guaranteed. The apology just sends the message that you and they are on the same page about whatever it is.

  • Right? I've gotten "Aren't you worried about going to Hell?"

    Just.... no.

  • I haven't felt lonely in many years. I kind of miss it (or at least the opportunity). What little time to myself I have is so precious.

    It's like spending your childhood occasionally stuffing yourself so full you feel sick and miserable, but the rest of the time at least feeling well fed. And then you hit adulthood, get poor, and every chance you get to eat just takes the edge off the hunger.

  • What did a teacher do that earned your respect?

    Jump

  • More of a respect-loop, but my world history teacher in high school would sit at his desk and all of us would chat or whatever until he was ready to start the lesson. Then, without saying a word, he would get up, walk to the front of the class, and sit on the stool there, and within seconds the classroom was silent with every student looking at him. The man never raised his voice (unless he was telling a story), and ultimately never needed to. He didn't believe in homework, because he respected our time. He never talked down to anyone.

    He got respect, behaved in a way that justified that respect, and got more respect. It was inspiring.

  • Kevin Spacey calls for the release of the 'Epstein files'

  • So far Cosby's was overturned and he's not in jail, and Weinstein's was overturned and he is awaiting a retrial (granted, he is doing so in prison).

  • I actually had this discussion about one of my coworkers.

    Very competent, very capable, and very poor risk assessment.

  • Diaphragms are a form of birth control. They are making a joke by deliberating misinterpreting the specific meaning of the word used in an absurdist way, in the Mad Hatter style.

  • Insurance

    Jump

  • The argument that everyone having access to doctors would mean people would constantly go in for trivial things or waste time so waits are so much longer has always seemed so silly to me.

    I cut on and salt-water-soaked my severely infected toe (badly ingrown nail) for two months before I saw a doctor for it. And I had insurance so it cost nothing. Just because I didn't want to bother with going to a doctor.

    People don't go to the doctor for fun, and amongst all the people I've known with great insurance, there have been considerably more instances of not going to the doctor_when they should_ than going unnecessarily (approximately zero times, actually).

    So that tells me they want some people to not have access to needed medical care so they have access whenever they want, with lower wait times. It's like the people who hold the empty laundry carts while their clothes are in the wash.

  • What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?

  • It was so bad that Team America World Police had a song about how bad it was as their ballad.

  • Shows that were only popular in your country?

    Jump

  • I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them "fixing" a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.

    If women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

  • I knew a couple guys who had been struck by lightning. They were terrified of storms after, so when there was any lightning in the distance, they would rush inside with their coats over their heads.

    I do not want to be struck by lightning.

    Do pet tarantulas grow to "love" or become "fond" of you?

  • I like how it says "defensive and will bite if provoked," and apparently, according to this thread, opening their cage is sufficient provocation.

  • Tried to hold at a 5 as long as possible

  • My son has been very difficult the past hour (lead up to nap time), so I'll go with 7.

  • What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?

  • What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD?

  • I was going to say VHS Michael Jackson Thriller and Making Of Thriller.
