  • What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?

    Jump

  • Maybe not quite as dumb as others here, but I once saw a woman in a sauna who had a GIANT 女 (woman) on her back. It went from the shoulders to the ass. I get finding Chinese characters cool and wanting them tattooed, but why on earth would you just tattoo "woman" instead of something meaningful and why so large it covers your entire back?

  • If they only mimic me and have some knowledge based on what is on my phone/online, they probably don't speak the same foreign languages as I on the same level. So I could authenticate myself by proving that I speak those languages.

  • How do alone people find each other online?

    Jump

  • That's not true everywhere, my city has a pretty good meetup scene for various hobbies. However the amount of people who sell their useless courses as "meetup, but I will ask for a 20€ fee from everyone" or shady "we will talk about investing/crypto..." groups has gone up.

  • What actors/actresses make you immediately not want to make a movie/show?

    Jump

  • Tom Cruise I just don't like anything about him

    Will Smith, because he's annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air

  • I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right?

    Jump

  • I'm forty, so a different generation than your parents, but I still grew up and had my first dating experiences before the internet. Online dating wasn't really a thing here until I was in my early twenties.

    At least where I grew up the guys who randomly approached girls to ask them out were seen as creepy even back in the 90s. I and everyone I knew met partners through activities like sports clubs, parties, bars etc. (I'm not from the US, so people from my school started going to bars pretty early). While there wasn't a big discourse around men approaching women in public (or none that reached my little town), we did have some guys in town who'd just walk up to girls on the street and ask them out and the consensus was that they were weird and should be avoided.

    I met all my partners so far through activities. My first boyfriend was a regular at the same student café and we ended up sitting next to each other during quiz night. I met guys I had dates with in uni - sitting next to each other during lectures and talking about the Prof, going to the same presentation or cooking night etc. None of them "approached me" in the sense of coming up to me and asking "can I have your number" with zero context. We chatted, had an interesting conversation. At the end we exchanged contact information to meet for a coffee, usually without any expectation of it being a date. When coffee went well, someone would ask the other out on a proper date. No approaching, no deciding within a few seconds wether you want to date someone. Just casually getting to know each other before asking for more.

    I also met my husband that way. We went to the same event, talked, had a lot in common. We met the next day to continue a discussion about a certain topic we were both interested in. That's when things started getting flirty and by the end we made plans to meet for a real date. I don't even remember who asked whom, we were both heavily flirting with each by the time we talked about seeing each other again so it was very obvious the next meeting would be a date. He didn't ask me out out of nowhere or hit on me, we were just getting to know new people and eventually we started flirted somewhere along the line.

  • To the LGBT and particularly trans people, how are you holding up these days?

    Jump

  • I'm a bi woman and have always preferred women. But I ended up falling in love with a wonderful man who is now my husband. I'm currently really grateful for that. Loving a woman in this climate would be so stressful. I'm very scared for my trans best friend though.

  • Name them

  • There's a mobile phone repair shop next to where we live. Everything in the window is faded from the sun. In 6 years of living here I have not seen it open or someone inside even once.

  • Who was your high school classmate that you Googled and were shocked by the results?

    Jump

  • The straight-A student who could have gotten into any course at any university with her grades ended up getting a degree in art history and works at a museum now. She was never much into art in school, mostly focussed on chemistry actually and thought about studying medicine or biochemistry when we graduated.

    Another straight-A student never left our 900-inhabitants village. Everybody thought he'd surely make it big, study medicine or engineering or something like that and work for a big company. He's working at the small local bank.

    On the other hand, one of the girls who was always very anti-school and didn't care much for grades (I don't actually know how good her grades were, but definitely not among the top students) is a lawyer at a large law firm now.

  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?

    Jump
    1. Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?
    2. A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.
    3. Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.

  • Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?

    Jump

  • I feel like there is also a pathologization of being single. I was a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s, so before most of social media. I'm also from a village where most people knew each other.

    There were a couple of nerdy, shy guys who never had a girlfriend by the time of graduation. I only had one boyfriend at 16 for 6 month before his friend told me he was only dating me as a dare. I was "ugly" and "not a real girl" because I didn't wear makeup and mostly wore jeans and Tshirts. Stupid village kids.

    Anyway, similar things happened to the nerdy guys. But no one started crying about all men/women being awful and no one became an incel. Several girls and boys in my class never dated by the time we graduated and that just wasn't a big deal. Nowadays everybody's being told there's something wrong with them if they've never had a partner by age 17.

  • Trump has a ‘maximum’ meltdown on social media after hate-watching ‘60 Minutes’

  • *male anger. Angry women are still emotional and hysterical.

  • What's a relatively minor thing to most people that you WISH you could have?

    Jump

  • I feel you. I'm allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.

  • What's your superpower?

    Jump

  • Maybe just really good intuition and knowledge of human behavior. You could probably make a lot of money as a psychic.

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • We need stricter social rules again in a lot of areas and children need to be brought up stricter again. Now I don't mean we should get back to being in other people's business in regards to what they wear or who they love. But let's go back to shunning people for littering. Teach kids to sit still and be quiet in certain spaces like public transport or restaurants. Ostracize people who are loud and disruptive in public. Let's just implement some stricter social rules again.

  • Why Is the World Losing Color?

    Jump

  • As someone who loves colors I always find it so sad. I want to buy colorful options of products but often black, white and grey are the only ones available.
