If I had known, I would have gone. How did people find out or know that that was happening? I feel really sad.

Edit: seems like I need to start watching the actual news more. Thanks to anyone to who has an answer. I really do appreciate you 🫶🏻

My partner is one of those people who never drinks water. If anything they’ll have a soda, but most of the time they don’t drink anything at all. My cousin would also never drink water growing up, only milk.

How is this comfortable? I can’t go half a day without drinking water, let alone multiple days in a row.

They present the choice (wake up or don't wake up) as some sort of a 50-50 dilemma, which is insane. It's a no-brainer both from an ethical and legal point of view, right?

Edit: The Amber case

Would logistics make it too complicated so this isn't feasible?

Every single one I know does this....

It seems ridiculous considering all the complications.

Edit: If you do, why?

The last few times I’ve had anything from any fast food restaurant, I really didn’t enjoy it. I used to be someone who ate fast food multiple times a week and always enjoyed it but now the food just doesn’t taste as good. It doesn’t matter which fast food place it comes from either. For example, I used to like Baconators from Wendy’s but the last one I had, the meat tasted gross and I couldn’t even finish the burger. Same thing for Taco Bell, the meat tasted gross on my Tacos last time I had it. I mean the meat has probably always been low quality and gross at these places but now it tastes even worse than it used to. It could just be my imagination but I don’t think so. I’ve almost completely stopped eating fast food now because it’s been so bad the last few times I’ve had it.

What am I missing? Especially since it’s basically a deposit that you get back anyway, you don’t even have to really pay, you just have to have money. How is this just an accepted part of society?

Almost all the questions on this sub is, "why do Americans do this", "why do Americans do that"

what is it about Batman that has such a strong grip on men? My brother, my cousins, guy friends.My brother has had the same Batman wallpaper on his phone since very long even on his laptop. One of my cousins has a ceiling yes, an actual ceiling of bat sign. One of my friends even has a Batman figure on display at his place.They treat Batman like he's not just a fictional character, but a personal mentor, a life coach. I personally love Batman and his movies But why guys want themselves to be called Batman?

I’ve seen it that way since I was a kid, i’m 28 now.

Insulin's subject to price gouging in the USA, and it's pretty cheap to manufacture. Why hasn't anyone either started a new company to undercut other manufacturers, or just imported it from a foreign producer. I get there'd be some regulatory hurdles, but surely they can't be that hard to overcome? Plus, it's out of patent, isn't it?

Not sure if this is the right sub but I’m curious. Pets usually have no choice in who adopts them and what people they end up with. So I’m wondering if they just develop some sort of “Stockholm syndrome” and only show us love because they don’t really have another option and decide “hey I’m stuck with this two legged thing, and they feed me and pet me, so I might as well just lean into it.”

Currently cuddling with my cat and it just crossed my mind!

The term has been popping up a lot, and interpretations vary. How do you define it?

Like yes my bed is right there but oh the carpet 😍 It feels really good on my back and just amazing to stretch out on, and just has that house smell (probs gross if you’re not a carpet enthusiast).

All the pans I've owned have all had the handles bolted or riveted on and it's a pain to clean when stuff gets caught under/around them. What is stopping them from just welding the handles on instead?

It’s some weird cultural double standard, honestly. Bieber was a kid doing kid things and people treated him like he was the Antichrist of pop music. The Paul brothers? Full-grown men pulling off WWE-level stunts in real life with actual consequences and somehow they’re just “controversial content creators.”

I mean, sure, people do hate the Pauls — don't get me wrong — but it’s not that universal, red-hot, foaming-at-the-mouth loathing Bieber got. He was the punchline. You couldn’t say “Justin Bieber” in a middle school hallway without someone screaming “HE SOUNDS LIKE A GIRL” like it was a national emergency.

E.G. In movies if two individuals speak Spanish but also speak English, then they might transition to English in the middle of the conversation. Granted this might be a way to make their conversation easier to understand by the audience, but I like to believe that at least a few conversations are spoken in more than one language.

Does this happen in real life?

As someone with social anxiety, I think everyone is looking at me and judging me. That seems extreme. Am I irrational?
