  • What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?

  • Clicking OK without reading the box.

    It won't work, I get an error.

    What's the error say?

    Let me try again. Ok it says enter a time.

    Did you enter a time?

    No.

  • That was a good one! Got a little weird at the end, but they wrapped it up well.

  • TIL drinking, smoking, games, etc are all "social lubricants" for making conversations easier.

  • Oh yeah. You DEFINITELY need to come over and smoke a cone with me.

  • Disclaimer: smoking is a nasty habit, and it's better to never start than to try to quit.

    That being said, it's pretty crazy how smoking cigarettes brings people together. I'm very reluctant to talk to people I don't know, but if I go out for a smoke and I see a few other people smoking outside, they instantly became my new best friends.

    Young Sheldon

    Funny thing about Young Sheldon, When I started watching it, I had never watched Big Bang Theory, and honestly, now that I have, I don't even really like it, but Young Sheldon is better than it deserves to be.

  • Weed definitely does the opposite for me. I get inside my head and overthink what I'm about to say and eventually realize the topic has changed and do it all over again.

    Alcohol makes me the most outgoing person on the planet.

  • What is a good Documentary/movie that would break conservative without demonizing them on a personal level?

  • A neighbor or coworker is probably a lost cause, but this friend sounds open to change.

  • I'll ask my wife, because she's been consuming a lot of racism lately. (Lots of civil war era books, with a strong focus on the injustices against black people.)

    Off the top of my head there's of course, Roots.

    We also watched the Free State of Jones. It's based on a true story that puts you in the shoes of a Rebel soldier who goes AWOL, and befriends a group of runaway slaves.

    Since you know your friend better than any of us, you might want to watch any suggestions alone, and possibly even search online for an in depth analysis of it before presenting it to your friend. That way you can be prepared to intelligently discuss any topics that might come up.

    EDIT: My wife reminded me of American History X, which is more anti KKK than pro-black, but it's also much more modern and VERY graphic.

    Good luck!

  • If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin.

  • Ha ha! Epidermis means hair.

  • Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?

    Jump

  • Thanks for asking this. I've always known light and paint worked on different color systems, but I never really understood the why behind it. Great answers!

  • What's your favorite band?

    Jump

  • System of a Down

  • What do we do now that we found out the world is run by a billionaire parasitic class??

    Jump

  • True, but it sure helps blow off some steam!

  • Hallo Weenie!

  • Makes sense to me. I live in the middle of nowhere, and although my work isn't very far from my home, half the year it would be impossible to walk there without having snow up to my knees, falling on ice or getting drenched from rain.

  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • I always have a lighter on me, so I never need to find a bottle opener.

  • TIL that Walmart aren't open 24hrs anymore. I thought it switched back after COVID, but I guess not.

    I haven't tried visiting a Walmart after 7pm in a very long time.

  • In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked?

  • Because that's not exactly how it played out.

    It's not like we all supported him and then we all saw what he was doing and hated him.

    About 25% of Americans Voted for Trump.

    About 24.5% of Americans Voted for Harris.

    The rest didn't bother to vote, or were ineligible (too young, non- citizen, convicted felon etc.)

    He might have lost a few supporters from his actions on office, but the ones that voted for him are mostly still cheering him on, because he's telling them that he's doing a good job, and they don't question it because their team is "winning".

    The rest of us who hated him, still hate him and want him removed ASAP, but he has enough money and powerful friends to keep him safe (for now).

  • Really tall people see others differently. For example, they see more of others' heads and less of others' bodies. They also see more of the background.

    Jump

  • It's true, it's also very disorienting for me when I encounter someone taller than me. It's not often that I have to look up at someone, so it feels VERY strange when I do.
