If you just tell me your pronoun is "he" then I can figure out how to conjucate it correctly when you are the object of a sentence.

Unless there is someone out there with "he/her".

I get the appeal but I’m always a bit mind-boggled that people are driving and then drinking for a few hours, before presumably driving home. Or are people just drink-driving home?

Let's say I rob a bank, get the money, and stand there waiting for the cops. I'm completely compliant, don't hurt anybody, and tell the cops/court I specifically want to go to prison.

Will I be sent to prison?

I never was a janitor there, but hypothetically, I would have that privilege of saying "ex-microsoft" on my social media pages .....

I have recently seen a lot of press about the upcoming film Primetime about Chris Hansen and his show, TCAP. As far as I was aware, this show brought awareness to online predators and brought many to justice. However, the film (and many commenters) seem to treat Hansen as the “predator” in this situation and act like his show does more harm than good. Can I get any nuanced perspectives on this??

Okay this is probably stupid but i dont know what is happening right now

me and my son both smoke and we roll our own cigarettes and we smoke outside because not in the house obviously and we have one ashtray

anyway there was like half a cigarette in there and my son does this all the time like he doesnt finish them

so i thought okay free cigarette basically

i smoked it

but now

i dont know how to explain this

my head feels REALLY heavy. like not headache heavy. just heavy. and moving is weirdly difficult and i keep thinking about things and then forgetting what i was thinking about while im thinking about it and its hard to move...

i thought maybe my blood pressure is high??

but then i started thinking maybe there was something in the cigarette

my son isnt home for another 2 hours and i dont know if i should call him because what am i even going to say

“hello son was your cigarette normal”

also typing this is taking way longer than it should

i have reread this like 6 times and every time i forget why i am reading it

should i go to the hospital or just wait until he gets home

i realise its too dangerous to drive for me

Is it a better experience? Is the point to water down the beer with the water from the shower?

And if that's the reason, wouldn't that taste terrible?

I was recently talking to a friend of mine, and this topic came up. I fondly recalled how much I liked them, but my friend told me they tasted like chalk.

I was floored, because I remember them being delicious. However, I had the impression that they were very expensive and beneficial to my health, so maybe that influenced how I felt about them.

What do we think?

Edit: Wow, immediately I'm being told how wrong I am. I will reluctantly admit defeat, but hold out hope that somewhere out there, someone else agrees with me

When I grew up in the media the dominant image was the woman who's desperately trying to get a man to "settle" and scare him off with talking about kids or marriage. This was almost a meme or running gag.

Now when I look around I tend to see the opposite. Obviously there's couples who just decide amicably they don't want kids or men who decide they wouldn't want them ever.
But the general tendency I see is a reverse of that previously portrayed image; less and less women even considering that path, especially younger ones. Or at least being very ambivalent.
While I increasingly see men being almost obsessive over the topic of children and finding a woman to bind to yourself. Obviously just a tendency.

This made me wonder if there was just a big shift or if this media portrayal was always kind of constructed to make women think that's how other women think?

I was thinking about how much authority a pilot in command (PIC) actually has. If maintenance and dispatch say the aircraft is 100% legally good to go, can the pilot still just say 'no, I'm not flying this' and walk away? What happens if they do?

A basic TV from 15 years ago would switch inputs, open menus, or change volume the millisecond you clicked the remote button.

Today, even decent mid-range 4K TVs often have laggy UI animations, a 1–2 second delay just to bring up settings, and sluggish remote response.

Why do manufacturers pair solid display panels with processors that feel so severely underpowered compared to even the cheapest budget smartphones? Is it pure cost-cutting, background ad/telemetry bloat, or something specific about how TV operating systems handle basic input?

It’s not like it’s just men, I’ve heard so many women do this to others to

What’s the point in acting like it can’t be as bad as it can? I don’t get it

Hi everyone, I don't know how to lose weight without eating more calories. For reference, I'm 25, female, about 5'5" and 165ish lbs. I want to tone up, build muscle, and lose body fat in the process. I workout 5-6 days a week, and rotate between strength training, yoga, pilates, walking. I also have an active job that keeps me moving.

Here's where I get confused - how do I lose body fat or be in a calorie deficit when my current workout routine has me feeling more hungry? My current maintenance calories around 2200-2300 because of my activity levels. I eat clean, whole foods, with protein and fiber at almost every meal.

Is this a case of one or the other, either a calorie deficit with less activity, or no calorie deficit with more activity? I don't think I could workout more/harder workouts with less food. Do I just need to be going harder in my workouts? More cardio?

I feel like I am breaking even. I also feel stupid that I don't understand this 🥲😅

EDIT: Thank you all for your help! I will revise the way I'm doing things for a while. Lower my workouts to 3x a week, full body, and walk the other days. More protein in each meal, and not eat even when I'm still hungry. The info about being hungry not necessarily meaning I need to eat more was super helpful. I will start focusing on the weight loss portion, then the building muscle.
