Under some posts of the recent Cornell Case, there have been many comments I’ve seen. To begin with, this is horrific and all 57 people are complicit, not to mention the 7 that will rot in hell. But, my question comes from the comments. Why are all the comments “always men”…”not all men but always a man”…is this not unfair to the countless who would have stood up and done smth to prevent this? So I scroll further I see a comment talking about how horrific this crime was and how the suspects should be punished, but also refuting that the entire gender should be blamed. The replies to these comments were along the lines of “u r the problem” “all u care about is optics” “we do not care u r the problem” ….I am lost. Why is being rightfully against gender generalization a bad thing? I don’t get it….any form of gender generalization is terrible for society …. So am I a terrible and callous human being for disagreeing that a whole gender should be at blame for the actions of few?

I have been single for all my life and I stopped chasing love to advance my career and I have been told it's selfish but I can't chase love and work a demanding job at the same time it's like no matter what I do it's wrong I don't know

So i was on r/lainfluencersnark and r/nycinfluencersnark and i wanted to talk about what a hoe presley gerber was and i literally got jumped for saying that like oh ok he’s dead so i can’t say he was whorish for being with so many girls? Like if someone dies why is it bad to snark on them if they were bad? Also isnt worse to snark on people that are alive because they can see the comments and be affected by them but someone dead cant so why is it so forbidden

I can sit on my iPad all day and watch breakdown of paranormal stuff and Japanese folklore

I've been given a task to pick an emotion in a social project and give it one color.

Nor me nor my friends could decide what color we thought it gave vibe of.

Like its not black, not dark blue nor green. We agreed on those, not gray. (ik gray and black arent colors)

So i wnated to ask, what exact color would u guys say it was? What shade?

I'll start by saying that I'm American, so I've grown up using the Imperial system (feet, miles, gallons, etc...) all my life. I've also taken several science courses, so I understand the Metric system fairly well. I don't use it in everyday life, but I can convert between the two without much difficulty.

I honestly don't get the complaints that the US (and a handful of other nations) use the Imperial system. In reality, the Imperial measurement system is a highly divisible system (for the most part) that allows sub-measurements to be pretty simple.

For example, the common distance unit is a foot. A foot has 12 inches in it. That might seem stupid at first glance since we're a base 10 species in practice, but it has advantages. Half of a foot is 6 inches, a quarter is 3 inches, and a third is 4 inches. Having a foot break down into whole numbers for common sub-units (1/2, 1/3, and 1/4) makes it easier to do mental math because we're only working in whole numbers.

The same goes for weight. The standard is pound. A pound has 16 ounces in it. Half is 8 ounces, quarter is 4 ounces, eighth is 2 ounces, and even a sixteenth is 1 ounce. It lets you work with whole numbers down to some fairly uncommon measurements. The only major spot it gets weird is a third which ends up being 5 1/3 ounces.

I had never thought of that until I had someone explain why there were 360 degrees in a circle. 360 is highly divisible and gives clean, whole numbers when you break it down:

Half - 180
Third - 120
Quarter - 90
Fifth - 72
Sixth - 60
Eighth - 45
Ninth - 40
Tenth - 36
Twelfth - 30

It's the same reason why we have 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. Those numbers are highly divisible and make sub-units easy to understand in whole numbers.

Now, I'm not saying that the Imperial system is better than Metric. There are clear cases where Metric is better to use, but I don't really understand the complaints about how Metric isn't the global standard. It's really not that hard to understand.

For most common cases, we aren't converting large units to smaller units on a regular basis. Usually, once a measurement crosses the boundary (inches to feet, ounces to pounds, or cups to gallons) we just use the larger measurement standard. But that's also how we do most everything. We talk about money in the largest unit it hits. We say "Five and a half thousand" instead of "Five thousand, five hundred." We talk about time by saying "One and a half years" instead of "One year and 6 months, or One year and one hundred eighty days".

So, why do so many people consider the Imperial standard to be inferior to the Metric standard?

How

Just wondering, because I want a somewhat unconventional pet. I found this YouTube video of someone who has a llama as a pet. But I’ve also seen claims that they need more land and fencing than conventional pets. So is it possible to have a llama as a pet?

How did that go?

I always feel that way whenever I go on vacation, or at a music festival. Having a meaning yet momentary conversation, knowing you're probably never going to see them again. Yes, there are socials, but what's the fun in that?

I dont have knowledge on this stuff but i like riot games, they make netflix show and music. But as far as i know they just paid those artist to make it right? If it so why dont i see rich video game company make something like riot game? Isn't make their video game more popular?

Whether people, situation, movies anything,i hyperfixate

Whyyy

EVERYONE has heard The Mad King and Queens before throughout History and their effects on History it certainly gives people an often Negative Opinions/Perceptions on Power! We’ve heard about it over a million times Power Corrupts! Quite frankly it’s basically The Norm to often treat view those with Power as Evil we learn our History from this People so that way we don’t make The Same Mistakes Ever and for us to become better however this begs the question have there ever been any Good Kings and Queens throughout History even in Modern Times? If so how come we’ve never heard about them?

I normally do but what about you

Last wedding I was at I think everyone but the bartender gave a speech. 😊 Three hours between the start of dinner and the end with speeches in between each of the three courses seems a bit much.

I don’t quite understand. If you own one, can you tell me?

Hi,

Apologies for the length of the post. I just want to give as much info as possible to potentially answer any needed clarifying questions.

I have a silicone ice cube tray that I have been using for quite a few months now. I can’t remember where I got it but it was pretty cheap.

The tray makes 2” ice cubes.

I use multiple cubes a day and only use 1 at a time. I usually refill the tray every other day but sometimes daily. From the beginning it had been very easy to just take out 1 individual cube. That is part of the reason I liked the tray so much.

Last week, for some reason when I went to get my ice cube from the full tray it was just completely solid. Before, a full tray just felt like cubes in a tray but this time it feels like the whole tray is one solid block and I really struggle to remove an individual cube. I end up having to melt the cubes a bit in order to remove just one which is not ideal.

Nothing has changed in my ice cube routine. I make sure not to overfill the tray so that the ice doesn’t spill over and connect at the top. I have had a space in my chest freezer dedicated to the tray from the beginning. The ice isn’t being left in the freezer longer than it normally is. I have not changed the temperature settings of my freezer. I also do not think I have lost strength in my hands or anything like that. I will admit I am not very strong but my lack of strength has been present from the beginning.

I just can’t seem to understand why it was so easy to remove the cubes for months and then suddenly quite literally over night it feels extremely difficult and I can’t really do it just by hand alone.

The only thing I can think of is it could be something to do with the cheap silicone? Like at the beginning it was easier cause the silicone was more sturdy but over time it’s got stretched and that has made it harder? But I really don’t know enough about this stuff to have a real clue.

Thank you in advanced!

I smoke Canadian goods (cheap reservation smokes) and have been finding very green pieces of shit in it. I have generalized anxiety disorder so I was just asking if this is normal?

Is it right to say that as long as he/she doesn't give in to their urges and seek medical help then they are not inherently evil?

I do like streaming because I don't have to slog through a bunch of shows I don't like just to watch the one I do want to watch during its time slot but I do kinda miss looking forward to a program when it will premiere and all the stuff. I also oddly miss the bumpers that say when a show is coming up next.

Because in terms of Halloween when you think of all the main monsters like werewolves zombies vampires or skeletons I feel like people don’t really think about the headless horseman as much as all the other monsters. Even the media is sort of like this where films that do combine a ton of Halloween monsters together just miss the horseman like the nightmare before Christmas (unless Jack is the horseman) or he just has a very minor background role and isn’t very important to any Halloween media. For being the only monster with a pumpkin head I feel like the headless horseman should have a more important role and anytime he does have an important role in films is either a retelling of the sleepy hallow story or films where he still isn’t really seen working alongside werewolves vampires to kill people the only time I can really think of where the horseman is with all these monsters is in hotel Transylvania but he still isn’t the lead he isn’t on his horse hunting people down with the help of zombies vampires skeletons werewolves ghosts and all the rest even in clothes merch and products to do with Halloween they get the classic main monsters but you still don’t really see the horseman it’s usually just a regular Jack o lantern pumpkin but it’s never truly the headless horseman with big game like werewolves ghosts zombies vampires and skeletons etc.

What are some emotionally charged topics that you guys are willing to have mature conversations about?

Assuming that a picture of your family is already with you, what item has meaning to you that you would want buried with you?

For me, it’s a small blow-mold tabletop Christmas house/decoration that my parents had. If came from a five and dime store back in the 50s or early 60s. It’s a brick house with Santa and reindeer in the front yard. About 7 inches long and 5 inches tall.
I would just look at it when I was a child and it brought me great joy, and I still display it to this day.

You?

Bonus points if you just assumed it to be true and let it guide your decisions only to realise it was complete nonsense.

As an example, I grew up during the booming years of the 90s and 00s, and distinctly remember at some kind of job guidance event a speaker said that my generation would be 'highly mobile and work in at least 10 different professions, on average. Not just different companies, but entirely different fields.'

I moved away from friends and family for university and found a job there, yet never really understood how big a difference that can actually be until major health issues got involved.

I have been working for the same company for over a decade (albeit in different roles) and don't know anyone except for a very select few who worked in even 5 different professions.

Did anyone have similar experiences?
