  • ELI5 How is this legal? Doesn't the constitution give us the right to tell them piss off?

    Jump

  • I vaguely remember a story of a housecleaner getting shot for going to the wrong address and the shooter not even being charged because "I was scared" is a valid reason for killing someone ringing your doorbell in some states (sorry don't remember the source). That sounds like a right to shoot anybody.

  • About a decade too late.

  • Belgium! They are all in Belgium.

  • What's something that you discovered about yourself only after going to therapy?

    Jump

  • That I feel immense guilt about any time spent not being productive in some way and believed (wrongly) that you can always just plan and to-do list your way out of feeling crappy. I basically learned to forgive myself for needing time to recover from stuff.

  • Buy european (and boycott USA) - Swiss edition 🇨🇭

    Jump

  • Thanks! A quick look through the list was so helpful to make sure I am doing things right. I'm really surprised by Le Petit Marseillais and will not buy again. And so many snacks! I believe following the non-american diet might make me healthier as well.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

    Jump

  • European here. I was scolded by my maths teacher for having completed all exercises up to two chapters further into the maths book. The reason was that she hadn't explained it yet so I couldn't know what I was doing. Even though the book had all the explanations written down. I ended up doing homework for other subjects during her explanations to stop bothering her by being ahead, but she never liked me afterwards.

  • I'm so OCD

    Jump

  • I think the "I" in the poem has genuine OCD and the "she" in the poem is using it inappropriately.

  • Fat cats are taking Ozempic now — and it could be the solution to terminal feline illnesses

    Jump

  • One the one hand I agree that weight control in pets should be easier as owners control most if the food. But I understand these are cats with a disease, so it might be different. Also, very food-obsessed pets might have challenging behavioral issues and even the best owner cannot always prevent some food theft or eating of inedible material by a pet with issues.

    It really sucks that we're all built differently. If we were all built from the same skeleton, you'd learn the perfect golf swing right when you learned how to ride a bike.

    Jump

  • Everyone being build differently is what makes us resilient as a species and causes evolution. Also, if everyone was equally good at golf it wouldn't be a fun sport anymore.

  • The woman next to me in the hospital was asked if she could be pregnant right after the nurse checked her birth year at more than 80 years ago. We all had a little laugh at that one.

  • Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video

    Jump

  • I vaguely remember seeing ads on cliff faces etc in movies 15 years ago on television, but I think they stopped using them very quickly. Is this just a comeback of a failed test?

  • Did I do a good deed or bad deed?

    Jump

  • While hiking with my boyfriend and dog I was waiting outside a supermarket one day while he was shopping. A woman and her daughter came to give us some dogtreats and a bag of sweet buns because they thought I was homeless. I couldn't do anything but gracefully accept. We did enjoy the sweet buns and a few days later we spotted a woman with her daughter begging at the train station and were able to pass on the kindness. We are also always on the lookout for beggars with dogs to share out some treats. All in all it caused more goodness (and only slight embarresment) in our lives.

  • From the report: This report is a product of field and remote research carried out between October 2019 and May 2021. The report’s findings and conclusions are based on first-hand testimonies that Amnesty International gathered from former detainees of the internment camps and other people who were present in Xinjiang after 2017, as well as from an analysis of satellite imagery and data. The report also draws on testimonial evidence and confidential government documents gathered and analysed by journalists, scholars, and other human rights organizations. One hundred twenty-eight people were interviewed for this report: 55 former detainees of internment camps in Xinjiang (39 men and 16 women), 15 other witnesses who lived in or visited Xinjiang since 2017, and 68 family members of people from Xinjiang who are currently missing or detained. The majority of the interviewees were Kazakh, a minority were Uyghurs, and a small number were Kyrgyz or Han Chinese.

  • I enthusiastically bought a load of quinoa to diversify my grain cabinet.. anyone got some good (veggie) recipes?

  • Sad but true

    Jump

  • We don't have a dryer and the lines only hold one load of laundry. So every time I know I've done all I can do for 2 whole days. The bliss is enormous. Sucks if I accidentally skip a few days though as it is almost impossible to catch up on a backlog.

  • The same place artists get it? As long as people enjoy watching what you do and are inspired by it it is worth something.

  • Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic?

    Jump

  • On QI (bbc quiz show) they once said the sound you make when you sneeze is cultural/learned, so I wouldn't be surprised the number of sneezes is also somehow cultural.

  • Republicans Complain That Cars Have Become Too Safe, Say It Must Be Reversed

  • As a cyclist, I kind of agree. Apparently the introduction of seat belts caused an increase in cyclist deaths because people started driving less carefully.

  • the key is communication.

    Jump

  • But it looks nice on screen, and that is what we watch movies for. Not for historical accuracy, especially in fantasy.

  • How does trash collection/recycling work where you live, and do you like the system?

    Jump

  • I once called the police in amsterdam because of smoke coming out of one of those at 6 am on new years eve. Still unsure if the police was not impressed because I sounded too drunk to be trusted or because it was just the gazillionth of the night that was set on fire.
