A lot of the time i see stuff downvoted it’s because it’s more bait or someone’s weird rant turned into a question. It may not be a stupid question, but the asker doesn’t seem actually curious. They often come packed with weird assumptions, that have to be dealt with first, which would be cool if the asker was interested in being walked through it.

It’s the sincerity that’s missing! If someone asks why they have to wipe their asshole when everyone has a butler to hose them down after shitting, and it turns out they’re genuine and post a pic of their sad butler- oh. i thought of another reason why stuff gets downvoted. If it’s about bodily functions, I think people get grossed out and downvote. And there have been some that seemed like fetish material.

Lots of reasons, I guess? I think other than the bodily function one, the rest boil down to the perception of sincerity.

Never played it so I can’t answer the question but here’s an article I found when I looked it up that clarified it a bit for me.

One of those funny concept stories that could be neat so long as they don’t do anything gross romance-wise. Anyone read the manga?

online glasses shops will sometimes have a “shop by face shape” section. I’ve used zenni’s and it was fine.

https://www.zennioptical.com/b/glasses-for-oval-face I’m not the best for recs here since I’ve only used this site ever and got my frames from the eye doctor and lenscrafters before that.

https://www.wikihow.com/Determine-Your-Face-Shape If you genuinely aren’t sure of your face shape, and you care if you guess wrong, get out the measuring tape.

If you have an oval face:

I guess it depends on how much effort goes into it, but odds are it’d be an easy cash grab so i assume it’d be way worse and also inherently obnoxious.

That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

It must have sucked for your dad but part of me is happy that those sitcoms didn’t entirely lie to me.

I remember I felt I missed something because my mom explained the specifics of menstruation to me and school went into more detail about sex and reproduction. Despite what sitcoms were telling me, no one ever sat me down and said anything about birds or bees. I guess I hoped there was a weird pre-written speech parents awkwardly tried to recall when their kids got to a certain age.

Well, since she’s healthy, is she the type that bruminates? I feel like I’m doing a “no stupid answers” thing because I’ve only had leopard geckos and anoles, so I should leave the answers to people who have had turtles, lol

How does she look? Cloudy eyes? Weird smell?

You got me reading statistical analysis of bullying across countries and damn this is a complicated topic. It seems like boys are the most likely perpetrators, but I wonder if it’s a difference in relational and verbal bullying vs violent bullying, and what’s perceived culturally as bullying and so on.

This idea reminds me of https://postsecret.com/ . I don’t know if it’s helpful, but it’s interesting.

I appreciate posts like this even though I rarely watch shows as they come out, so I don’t feel comfortable voting, usually. I’d just vote for the one show I’d seen, which doesn’t seem fair.

Good luck figuring out a voting system! It seems like a pain to organize here, but I appreciate it. Now I know I should check out Apocalypse Hotel!

I watched a bunch of old twilight zone as a kid. I never watched new versions, because critics always had a lot negative to say about them, and I personally only sorta enjoyed the classics. They did stick with me, the classic ones, even when kid-me didn’t like them. They’re influential.

Honestly, if I was starting now, I’d just find a list of best episodes and watch those first, and if you are super into them, then you know you’ll probably enjoy the less notable ones. You can watch them out of order. The most famous ones are good to watch just to understand the many modern references to them.

I’ve seen some stories where vampires suck blood through their teeth, back when I read more vampire fiction, but I don’t know how common those are. I think it seems a bit comedic, so it probably depended on how funny the story was supposed to be.

Reading around, it seems like if you keep it within recommended dosages and have no existing kidney problems, it’s all good. The main thing is to make sure whatever supplement you’re actually taking is reporting the amount of creatine correctly.

Supplements aren’t regulated well.

I’d assume drugs if I saw a guy staring at a vending machine for ages. That’s “took too much of something that doesn’t leave the system fast” behavior. Possibly he wanted to get something from the vending machine, but couldn’t hold on to the thought for long enough to go through the process. Perception of time gets fucked on those sorts of drugs, so he has no idea he’s been there for however long. The behavior sounds specifically like that of people I’ve known who accidently took a higher dose of edibles than intended.

The world is real but we perceive it with a brain that can read signals of it imperfectly if something goes wrong in there. That leads to strange behaviors like you described.

Name them cookie! Unless you don’t want to.
