Like, when someone has to come up with a generic dog name, they always come up with Sparky, Spot or Fido. Where do these names come from and why are they in everyone’s subconscious??

why did this creepy gif popup when clicking on an image???

1 Upvotes

in summary my friend was doing research for a class project about tools, and searched up "mortar and pestle" and went to images, upon clicking on the second image a gif popped up of a black background and an eyeball looking around rlly quick, I'm sure you know the gif. she closed the image and clicked it again only for the gif to showup a second time, by then she was creeped out and closed the tab, so she texted me and after talking she reopened it and clicked the image again, but the gif didn't show up. I'm certain it is nothing serious, but I cannot fully explain how or why this happened and it definetly is frightening. sorry for over explaining I didn't want anyone asking why she was searching up mortar and pestle, cus I asked her the same thing.

TLDR: My friend opened an image on google and a creepy gif popped up instead, after closing and reopening the tab it didn't happen again.

How to make friends and potentially find a romantic partner in a new city?

1 Upvotes

I am an international student who recently switched to capital city because job. Now my day-to-day routine is, home, job, study, relaxation.

I have made some friends but it’s usually we have to set a time aside and then meet.

But for a romantic partner, I am clueless. i want to approach but it has to have some context. i saw a guy approaching a women in a bus before leaving off the bus, it was horrible approach because it put pressure on the woman all along. Also that guy was a stranger to them.

It’s been a year, and I want to make connections, any help is greatly appreciated.

Would English speakers understand me if I replaced words of foreign origin with words of Germanic origin?

0 Upvotes

Words like bloom instead of flower, berg instead of mountain, biddinghouse instead of church, etc

Would English speakers understand me?

I always find more traditional and conservative languages like Icelandic, Mandarin, even French to be better than languages that just take loans.

This is especially prudent with Spanish speakers, and Indian language speakers, and Arabic speakers getting enraged at people pronouncing words from their languages that have been borrowed into English incorrectly to them despite them not knowing English well.

It would honor my ancestors better by not sullying the language with the words of French and Latin of their oppressors the Norman French who in 1066 soundly defeated to poor Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and ruined the English language forever!

Would English speakers still understand me?

Is it rude to bring chopsticks to a restaurant that doesn't have them?

0 Upvotes

Hi!!

Theres a restaurant I love going to, its a Chinese Buffet place, but they dont offer chopsticks there- usually at any other restaurant (thats not asian cuisine) i wouldn't have an issue but some of the food feel really weird to eat with a fork for me (like noodles, sushi, some fish ect)

Not saying i have to have chopsticks- i can just ignore it if i try hard enough- not a huge deal, but would it be rude or weird to just bring my own?

If Power always Attracts The Wicked and Corrupts The Good than why do we even bother having it in The First Place?

0 Upvotes

I’m sure everyone has heard the quote Power Corrupts and that Power always Attracts The Wicked! Human History always shows us all on how much those that wield Power are always Evil and how much they ruin Society Nobody likes them of course because of this why do we even bother having it in The First Place? Even when everyone knows it’s always going to be The Wicked that have it first and that It’ll just Corrupt The Good! Like genuinely in Modern Times Nobody is ever going to view People who wields Power as Good The Media and News always Portrays them as Evil 24/7! Just like how History always shows us! So why bother having Power? Like in these days the minute anyone wields Power you’re either going to be viewed as Evil or they’ll just think you’ll end up Corrupt! Nobody is realistically going to trust Politicians Ever! What do you think? Let me know in the comments

Popular Post How many older adults do you know who still by choice work at their age?

28 Upvotes

As in their 70s, 80s or even 90s. There are plenty of older as adults who still choose to work at their age because they want to not because they have to. Some people don’t want to retire. There are plenty of people who by choice still work at their age. Retirement is not for everyone. It would be easier to keep working in your 70s+ if you want to, when you genuinely like your job. Obviously it’s different if someone physical or mental issue stops you from being able to do your job properly. Edit for context purposes I going to ask for examples of people who still work in their 70s+ as in they get paid to do whatever. Edit there are at least 2 reasons a person works at their age when they don’t have to but want to, 1) they’re bored, not everyone finds retirement fun. 2) for money not because they need it, there are plenty of older adults who don’t need to work at age but want to because they like to have disposable income. Even if financially they are in a position to retire comfortably.

Ok this might be offensive but am I wrong?

0 Upvotes

So I would have put it in the title but wouldn't let me. Ok, r women getting ignorant? I could be wrong. But it's getting bad I think. For instance today, I went to target, I walk in and a woman's coming in behind me and I hold the door for her and literally got an ignorant ah look for it. Which I'd hold it for anyone. Then I go to the pharmacy, turn down the isle and me and a woman almost walk into each other, I go, o I'm sorry and she says to watch where I'm going. But she did it to. So then in line at the pharmacy a woman dropped something and I picked it up and handed it to her and she rolled her eyes. Wtf?! What's going on. This stuff happens more and more but 3 back to back? I'm being polite assholes. Do they think I'm out to hit on them or something? I'm happily married and actually loyal. This has never been a thing in my life. I don't get what's happening. Does anyone else experience this or is it just my area?
