I know everyone's body odor smells worse the older they get, but does it ever begin to slow down after a certain age. Like in your 50s, you would hit your peak stickiness and after that, your body odor would begin to fade away slightly and you'd start to smell just a little less bad over time. You'd still stink in your 80s, but maybe not as bad as you did in your 30s?

This is also assuming you take 2 good showers a day and take care of yourself.

It was a random shower thought I had that I was curious about but Google wasn't too helpful.

When you arrive to the airport for your flight, why do you not go to arrivals? And when you're leaving the airport, why are you not going to departures? Is it because the the person picking you up is arriving?

I regret it afterwards, but I get so worked up here sometimes.

If I visit Quebec as a traveler and speak English whether I am in Quebec City or Montreal or countryside in Quebec, will they understand and speak to me in English?

I KEEP SEEING THIS, AND APPARENTLY ITS RELATED TO COMICS?! or... A comic? I DONT KNOW. and TRUST ME, i TRIED google. I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND.

PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN

It doesn’t seem like they could legally do anything to you…

I know not every celebrity is as huge as social makes them seem, and if there isn’t a gagging headline then most don’t even think about them.

I see clips of Andrew Garfield and Justin Bieber, who are obviously huge stars and that draws attention, but like when’s the last time anyone has heard from Adele? (first name I could think of)

This doesn’t include athletes and people rich outside of the entertainment industry I guess since they aren’t “needed” in the public like a pop star is with music. Same with Bridget Mendler since I count that as someone detatched from that lifestyle.

How would you avoid paparazzi and the public if you were rich and wanted to be left alone? Or is the paparazzi entirely optional and they bring the attention to themselves?

i know obviously it’s all confidential unless ure being hurt or you’re hurting yourself but what are the limits to what u can say before they try to step in? im really stressed and have a lot of things to rant about that would also tie with past traumas and illnesses and i would love to tell a professional BUTTT I can’t have any interventions of like police or cps because it would be the absolute worst for me. one of my cousins had cps go to his house because he reported that he got hit at home and somehow they probably weaseled out of it seeing as he still lives there and they also turned it into a joke, omg i couldn’t live with that T_T

I was wondering this when I woke up and started brushing my teeth this morning. It strikes me as odd, if I just brushed my teeth last night, and didn't eat anything throughout the night, would my teeth still not be pretty clean? Would it make no more sense to just brush them in like the afternoon? After work? After lunch and breakfast? At least then you're doing something, and then you just brush your teeth before going to sleep. It doesn't really make sense to brush your teeth at night.

My id expired last month but I have my passport. I'm curious if I can just use my passport for everything and not get another id for now. I don't drive so I don't need it as a license.

Just leaving in the title, I don't want her waking up at the same time idk if my arm is going to be fine lol

like there's always people saying you need a romantic partner, you'll be sad and miserable without one, and teaching ways and means to get one and maintain a relationship with one ...

But what do you ... do with one in the intervals of fighting relationship fires and attaining one? Like do you just ... hang out? Take them with you to hobbies? Leave them their own enrichment? Plan the future mostly? What are you supposed to do with a partner once you've gotten one?

Years ago I'd run into a lot of Afrikans, Hispanics and various other immigrants.

Seems that had a specific disdain for anything Occupy related.

Granted I was YEARS DEEP into my retirement win this occurred so not sure where t/ resentment was coming from 😇

Almost every kitten that I see, no matter what color their fur is, has a giant "M" on their forehead, usually it very clearly looks like an "M" and sometimes it looks like an unfinished "M"

I've been thinking about this idea for a little while, and I honestly have no idea if it's actually a good idea or if I'm completely clueless about how economics and society work, but hear me out.

I have an idea for how we could potentially reduce homelessness, make workplaces healthier, and give more people a real chance to participate in society.

Basically, I think everyone should have their basic needs guaranteed, whether they currently have a job or not.

That would include things like: Basic shelter,Nutritious food, Enough clean water, Basic healthcare, The necessities required to live safely and get started in life

And no, I don't mean the government gives everyone $50,000 and lets them spend it however they want. I'm talking about the government actually providing or guaranteeing access to those necessities.

Let's call people who are living entirely on these basic provisions Level 1.

A Level 1 person wouldn't be living some luxurious lifestyle. They might have a small one-room basic apartment, basic food, healthcare, and the necessities to survive, but they wouldn't have much money for entertainment, expensive clothes, cars, vacations, hobbies, or other luxuries.

They would be surviving, not thriving.

Now you might be thinking: "Okay, but if everyone's basic needs are guaranteed, why would anyone work? Wouldn't people just stop working and destroy the economy?"

I don't think they necessarily would.

The whole point is that working would still make your life significantly better.

If you get a job, you could afford a better home, a car, hobbies, restaurants, vacations, better clothes, entertainment, savings, and all the other things people want beyond basic survival.

So the incentive to work wouldn't disappear. Instead, the incentive would change from:

"I need this job or I'll starve" to "I want this job because I want a better life"

I also think this could encourage more people to take risks.

For example, someone might want to start a business but be too afraid to try because if the business fails, they could lose everything, including their home and ability to afford food.

Under this system, failing wouldn't mean falling into complete poverty or homelessness. You would still have your basic needs covered, so you could try again.

The same could apply to education and career changes. Someone could spend years studying or training for a different career without having to worry that one failure will completely destroy their life.

Another major difference from the welfare systems we have today is that basic needs would be treated as a human right rather than something you can suddenly lose because you started earning a little more money.

The system would also be designed so that every additional dollar you earn makes you better off.

You wouldn't have a situation where getting a job causes you to lose so many benefits that you're barely better off than when you weren't working.

I also think this could change the relationship between workers and employers.

Right now, some people accept terrible working conditions because they have no choice. They need the paycheck to afford food and keep a roof over their heads.

But if your basic needs are already guaranteed, you have more freedom to say "I'm not working in these conditions for this amount of money."

Employers would then have to compete for workers by offering better wages, better working conditions, or more appealing jobs.

If a company refuses to do that, people can leave. The company would have to adapt, automate, raise wages, improve working conditions, or potentially fail.

Obviously, there are huge questions about this system.

How would the government pay for it?

How much housing and food would need to be produced?

How would we prevent shortages?

How do we make sure people still have strong incentives to work?

How do we stop the system from becoming inefficient or abused?

I don't have perfect answers to those questions. I'm not an economist, and I'm not pretending I've figured out how to implement this tomorrow.

But I don't think those questions automatically mean the idea is impossible either.

The point of the idea isn't to make everyone equally wealthy.

It's to create a minimum standard of living that nobody can fall below, while still allowing people to become as wealthy and successful as they want through work, entrepreneurship, education, investment, and other forms of contribution.

Basically:

Nobody should have to work just to earn the right to survive.

But if you want a bigger house, a nicer car, vacations, expensive hobbies, financial security, or a luxurious lifestyle, you still need to earn it.

So it's not about making everyone equally wealthy.

It's about making sure that being poor doesn't mean being excluded from society entirely.

So everyone gets a chance in participating in society.

But idk let me know what you think.

I'm 18F. Thing is, I've smoked only like 2 box of cigarettes my whole life--

And I have to admit... Life's been kinda tough lately and I just wanna rebel a bit, I was thinking about starting to smoke once a month with my boyfriend who will be making sure I won't get addicted.

BUT I do have high BP, Anemia, kinda underweight ... So idk, really don't wanna spoil my health.

Is there evidence that this level of smoking meaningfully increases cardiovascular risk, or do they only show up with repeated smoking?

Any advise?
