I’ve definitely noticed paper straws come in different qualities, and are affected differently depending on what you’re drinking. But the ones that turn mushy were largely phased out of use because I’m sure a lot of people complained. I haven’t had a mushy straw in years.

Their attitudes towards elderly parents. I’ve been told I shouldn’t worry about helping them in their old age because they had their chance to work and save for retirement and so it’s their responsibility of it’s not enough. Except… They didn’t. They migrated here with nothing, provided for THEIR parents their whole lives, and did the best they could for me, which left them with next to nothing. Westerners assume everyone boomer aged or so had the same opportunities that their parents had. The nuclear family is also very hands-off about caring for the elderly. That’s not how most of the world operates. Plus, it’s so sad!

Except that people do a lot of growing in their late 20s and early 30s. Both parties likely changed in personalities, priorities, and experience. The man she rejected years ago is likely not the same man she is attracted to now, nor is she the same person as her priorities have likely changed during that time too.

Atheists don’t have a unified moral code though, since atheism doesn’t advocate for any specific one. Christianity’s moral code is undeniably flawed though, as are the ones for most religions.

Not in a good way but: “crying never solved anything.” It might not be a full solution but it sure is a relief. Still can’t cry to this day without feeling guilty about it.

Laser hair removal is a good long term solution for this.

I’m used to feeling sleepy and tired. It’s feeling cold that I hate. I’m dieting in the middle of a heat wave and I’m shivering so much!

That’s all of my favorite games! I would never leave the museum!

Yep, threatened to commit suicide and everything. When I started dating again he found my new SO’s social media and said if he kept dating me he would fight him. Thankfully the new SO was a reasonable person and just answered “I don’t want to fight you so I’m just going to call the cops.”

I loved it at the time too! But you’re the first other person I’ve seen praise it.

I’ve gone back to replay it a couple of times and, yep, still love it. The story has its flaws but that’s final fantasy for you.

Jim Carrey anytime he does comedy.

This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don’t have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don’t need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn’t be sold in bulk.

Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.

The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.

I’m a woman and my first IUD insertion really didn’t hurt me very much. Uncomfortable, but quick and not too bad.

But when my friends complained about the pain during theirs, I believed them. Because we are all different people with wildly different bodies. I have empathy.

It’s not a difficult concept, but I think a lot of people struggle with it. “It was fine for me so anyone who complaints is making it up!”

Anyway, when I went to get my IUD replaced, the second insertion was absolute hell, so now I really get it. But I didn’t need to go through it myself to believe people when they say they experience pain. There’s so much evidence out there indicating that women experience pain. Is it really so hard to just believe the evidence?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

Depends on context and the skill in question. For example, in my office, good at technology means you know how to submit a ticket to IT and you don’t have a panic attack if someone mentions excel.

Only if you assume elections will keep happening.

She wasn’t an adult yet so maybe she was still quite short? Even so I agree it shouldn’t have cost her acting roles.

8chan still exists?

Ladies, I am a curvy 13 year old but I still chase like a cat half my age! I am looking for my true love to spend the rest of my life with (must be Christian, no more than 5 years old, and orange).

I live with my parents and my siblings (one of them is a dog, the other is a jerk) and I WILL NOT groom myself so you must be willing to do it for me. I will complain the entire time.

No tabbies.

My cat is not very tech savvy.
