It seems like a disproportionate amount of people caught by pred catchers show signs of having an intellectual disability. Is there a reason for this? Like are they more susceptible to being tricked than non disabled predators?

I know this sounds silly but I feel as if it'd be possible for a gigantic marine animal that rivals the size of a blue whale. I mean we know more about what is in space than what's in the ocean. If not then maybe an undiscovered shark that isn't massive but it'd be an undiscovered shark and that would be nice to see just in general.

I’m 22 and single as hell and don’t really have time to look for a relationship with work taking up all my time. I’ve never been to a bar before, but I’m willing to give it a try.

What does it look like? Does it only work for attractive dudes?

Thanks

Endless soldiers, tanks, planes, ammo to be able to occupy much of Europe and put up a good fight against most of the world. Seems nuts

I understand that in the hunter/gatherer days, being addivictive wasn't as detrimental because drugs, alcohol, and gambling wasn't as readily available. Now, one can ruin their life really quickly with vices on demand. But what purpose and advantages doesn being predispositioned to addictions serve?

Seriously, after using the bidet so you just sit there & drip dry or do you have a specific butt drying towel hanging up?

I thought it was only a few countries like Netherlands, Portugal and the capital cities. How did we get to this point that basically every single first world country got to this point?

I work night shifts at a factory, and when I get home, I want to take a shower before going to bed. The problem is that my neighbour complains about me showering so late at night.

I come home tired and sweaty after working in a factory, and I just want to clean myself up before sleeping. I understand that noise can be annoying at night, but I can't exactly change my work schedule.

Am I being unreasonable for wanting to shower when I get home from work, or is my neighbour being too demanding? How would you handle this situation?

This might be just a Hollywood thing, but I’ve been wondering for years.

You always see them knock a couple times and then walk right in in the movies.

I would freak the absolute fuck out if I found someone inside my house. Even a family member.

Is it really like that?

So this might sound tinfoil hat but hear me out.

I know a couple of people who run Reddit account networks. Like actually run them, as a business. I always knew bots were a thing here but when they told me the numbers I genuinely didn’t believe them at first. It’s not 10 accounts. It’s not 1000. It’s hundreds of thousands of accounts just... living on Reddit. Posting, commenting, replying to each other, starting arguments, building up a history so they look like real people. Then they get sold.

And now I can’t unsee it. Half the time I open a thread I’m wondering if the post is AI, the top comment is AI, and the guy arguing with it is also AI. Like a good chunk of what we read here (maybe even half? idk) is just generated stuff made to bait real people into replying so the account looks legit.

And it’s obviously only gonna get worse. Every month it’s harder to tell if you’re talking to an actual human.

So my actual question is: is there still any point to Reddit if you can’t tell who’s real anymore? Does it still have value for you, or are we all just yelling at chatbots at this point?

(and no, this wasn’t written by ChatGPT lol)

Is it simply because of the obvious things like treating them like a special class of citizen/keeping them from any accountability/thin blue line nonsense? Or is there an actual logical/practical reason? Would a system like that not work for some reason?

Drove passed a string of houses one street back from tracks while a long train went by and wondered how you could sleep through that 🤔

Edit: meant to say “for people that…” but you all get it.

Edit 2: What an incredible response. Seems most get used to it, and eventually miss it. Train schedules become inherent and part of the daily rhythm. People realize when the schedule is off, even when sleeping. Horns suck and there’s a few folks that never get used to it.

My mother was at least 3 races, while my father was 2. Can I say I'm all 5 of those races, if I got a DNA test would all 5 pop up.

I have heard of girls who have families so conservative that they never get told or warned about periods and think it's something wrong with them. As much as this is famous in Carrie, I've read stories of this happening pre 1950s to girls.

It raised my question, when did men learn about it? Especially if there wasn't anatomy and sex ed in schools at the time.

My parents have a cleaning service come to their house once a month to do the deep cleaning they can no longer do at their age. When they come, my parents usually lock themselves up in the home office, which does not require any deep cleaning, to give the ladies who come over all the room to do what they need to do.

There are usually two ladies who take care of the kitchen. The top shelf on their main pantry also serves as their alcohol cabinet, which they rarely drink from anymore - literally some of those bottles have not been touched in years. Over the last few months my mom noticed that the Smirnoff had been getting low and decided to mark the bottles.

Today the cleaning ladies came, and sure enough, the alcohol was a 1/4" below the line she had drawn, and to make it worth, there were noticeable crumbs that had been backwashed into the bottle. like, very disgusting.

My father wants to call the company and ban them outright but my mom actually really apprecaites the cleaning they do but is very hurt by this. She wants to leave the bottle out on the counter next time they come and just say, "whoever drank from it can just take it because no one wants their backwash, but never touch our alcohol again", or put a big sign on the cabinet that says do not touch the alcohol...or something like that to let them know that my mom knows and isnt happy, but she doesnt want to cost them their job nor does she want to hunt for a new cleaning service.

I am torn myself, and have never had a cleaning service so told my mom I'd ask the multitudes of reddit for opinions on the matter.

I use uber a lot and 95% of the foreign Uber Drivers I've gotten are on facetime or on a phone call speaking/laughing loudly in a foreign language with someone on the other end of the phone. I also notice that doordashers/grubhub drivers do this a lot too.

I'm curious as to why it always seems to be the foreign drivers that are doing this, and why Native-born American citizens have no problem NOT doing this.

Genuine Question. Please Answer Respectfully.

Example would be a hijab, a sheital, dastaar, etc. I know the answer will vary from person to person and religion to religion, but I'd love to hear a myriad of answers.

Example: a devout Muslim tragically had both arms amputated. She lives alone and must physically go to a doctor appointment and cannot miss this. No one is there to help her put her hijab on in this scenario. Maybe she typically has a helper, but today she does not. What happens in this scenario? Is she considered to be "sinning?" What is the protocol for this?

Edit to add: i am interested in hearing from other religions as well. I just didn't want to type out multiple write up examples for the sheital, dastaar.
