  • The connectors were just an example of how manufacturers prefer proprietary solutions because of profit, and how it needs regulation to prevent such things

  • Can you advocate for privacy by showing it? Does it work or will people never learn privacy in practice?

    Jump

  • Absolutely does. To be fair though, not all states do it.

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • People will be annoyed with you and honk at you when you stall at a traffic light or something. Know and accept that fact. Do not mind them. Take your time to do things right. With time you'll gain muscle memory and you won't have to think about it at all. Until then, don't mind the impatient drivers.

  • Yeah that's true for sure.

  • I also remember it fondly but I'm not sure it would hold up nowadays.. Have you watched it recently?

  • Anyone else kind of disgusted at the waste created by going out to eat?

    Jump

  • I mean I get where you're coming from, but if you consider the water to wash dishes wasted, I'm afraid there isn't really any food that is not wasteful, except maybe berries straight from the bush...

  • When were you wrong about something?

    Jump

  • Correct!

  • When were you wrong about something?

    Jump

  • I'm wrong all the time.

    Just yesterday I was talking to a friend, mentioning that it is insane how it was only a few years ago that a province in my country removed the rule that all government buildings need to have a christian cross on the wall.

    Turns out the conservatives successfully fought that change and it's still mandatory.

    It's impossible to be correct 100% of the time

  • What's your favorite instrument to listen to?

    Jump

  • Harpsichord. Its just such a nice and unique timbre

  • Who here cries at TV shows or movies?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I get teary eyed when watching movies all the time. I watched the new Lil and stitch the other week and even though the story isn't super deep, it made me cry a little in the end.

  • Have your parents ever said something so unhinged that you’re just left standing there like🧍‍♂️?

  • Microwaving at full power for whatever time feels right

  • Oooh good point about keeping the taste bymicrowaving them instead of boiling. Not having to use a pot is also great.

    Personally I dont even bother to remove the peel, my potato masher handles them just fine and I don't mind them in my food.

  • Love me some mashes taters.

    Get the right kind and they basically can't overcook. I just put mine on the stove at 5pm and just do other stuff until I'm hungry, at which point I just drain the water, add butter, pepper and nutmeg and mash the potatos in about 5 minutes lol. We also get frozen creamed spinach in kind of a pellet form so that its easy to dose, throw some of that in the microwave and it's actually a solid meal. Even more so when you start playing with other things to add. I like to put some cheese in the mashed potatoes as well, especially fresh Parmesan, but I also tried adding some leftover beef stock today which was delicious. Seasoning the spinach with a little bit of nutmeg and pepper also goes a long way.

    Sorry, somehow I produced a wall of text there. Thanks for coming to my ted talk or something

  • 30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?

    Jump

  • It really depends on what exactly you mean by "the cause of all the problems".

    If you're talking about your personal problems, like having your experiences dismissed and social expectations of stoicism etc., women are absolutely also part of the problem.

    What I'm trying to say is that those women didn't become like that because they chose so consciously. Their behavior is the result of the very same social norms you are struggling with, which have largely been created by men for men.

    Jump

  • I'm not trying to dismiss any experiences. All I'm saying is us men can't blame women for being in our current situation. If I misread what you were getting at, I'm sorry.

  • That reads very incel-ish..

    Yes, we don't have true equality yet, and your analysis seems correct at first glance. However, women still have it worse, believe me. A lot of medical research focuses on men and ignores women, they still don't get taken seriously in many fields of work, they still are the main victims of sexual assault, etc. All negative things applying to men that I can think of are things we are doing to ourselves. Like the ideal msculine image pushed in media is entirely due to men. No woman ever designed a stoic superhero with pure muscle and a sixpack.

    Your assessment isn't incorrect, it just ignores why things are the way they are.

    That being said, the situation sucks for OP and they deserve better friends.
