Talk about many things that never really made sense to you from the mundane to schizo (ex. things you were taught in childhood, pineapple on pizza, beans on toast, paying taxes, parking lots full of cars but the grocery store is nearly empty, things your family did in the home that doesn’t make sense to outsiders that you now question, etc.).

why tf do moids keep calling things longhouse. like ok they all live in one big house and they’re matriarchal sometimes. so the idea is we own nothing and are ruled by women. so why is everything longhousian because some of these things are not matriarchal or even hivemind so what gives? i would think its the gradual watering down of words that happens but moids cant even give it a year before they start dumbing it down to “anything i don’t like or think is stupid”

I worked in a bank and it does work like that (atleast where I live). I did transfer and cash deposit and I literally had to add/detuct the sum to the account manually and if I wanted I could've gone to anyone's account and transfer 10,000 to mine just by typing numbers in a box. Someone would notice or the system would flag me and I'd be in huge trouble, but it's technically that easy. One time I messed up and someone wanted to retrieve 200 from their account, I gave them the cash but messed up the operation and added 200 to their account instead of deducting, so for a moment they had +400; we have some kind of cash register and the balance was off so I noticed it at the end of my shift and corrected it, it's not like you can miss those mistakes but it can happen just like that and if the person had spent everything we couldn't get the money back. There are simple scams where someone will pass as a client and ask for a money transfer from an account to theirs, on the phone or via email, if you don't check every detail you could very well transfer thousands or more from a client's account to a scammer and to you it would just take a few clicks and numbers to change.

Anon kekkkkk if this is real this is the funniest post I've seen in a while. They understand Japanese for the same reason you understand English: they were raised with it and intuitively learned what each word meant, how sentences are built etc. as kids by mimicking their parents. When you always hear your parents say "konichiwa" when they see each other, you intuitively pick up what it means and how and when it's used.

No. 2075049

>>2075044
anon I don't know what you are spiraling about, the japanese people don't think they say hi to each other, they think and speak in japanese. Languages generally have similar concepts because humans share many experiences. We can translate these things but translations aren't perfect and some things aren't translatable. Language also influences how we think and makes some cultures better at some things and worse at others. Mandarin for example doesn't really have tenses or there are some languages that have no concept of blue. These people suck at recognizing obviously blue things but they have 20 words for green and are incredibly good at differentiating shades of green even though there is no anatomical basis for it, just language and experience.

Idk I grew up in a super old school Latin mass catholic house and tried my ass off to join in and believe, but couldn't get past the inner voice in me saying "lmao this shits wack". Especially after the priest got caught with CP of course. I also had a Muslim friend at school and she told me she felt the same but just played along for the sake of safety.

I love God because Jesus saved my life. He is good and loves us as his children. The reason there are terrible things is because humans have free will and are horrible to each other. He is not an intervening God. Also if you read the Bible with an open mind, you will find truth and instructions to live a good life. Forgiving others and yourself, grants you ultimate peace. Denying the material riches of this world leads you to true fulfillment. Being grateful for everything you have and experience will make life so much more rewarding. Being able to sacrifice yourself, denying your urges and trusting in the Lord will automatically lead you to a path of a good life.

A lot of new age cult scams also directly steal from the Bible. One example being how they say you can visualize and manifest things. This is literally called prayer.

Mark 11:22-25

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

This is so funny because I live in a muslim country with sharia law and everything but cafes and juice shops sell soda with mint and lemon slices and call it a "mojito". They sell non-alcoholic wine and beer as well in supermarkets, and they even started locally made "champagne". They want to drink and get drunk so bad but they can't so they do these weird alternatives. There's also this one drink that's popular during ramdan and is made from grapes if I'm not mistaken, but it's a bit fermented or something and if you leave it in the fridge for 3 days it actually becomes alcoholic, and some people boast about doing that and trying it to get drunk. Then they turn around and be like "we're soooo much better than the west because we don't get drunk and do bad stuff!!!!", yet, they're so obsessed with the idea of getting intoxicated because their lives suck ass so bad they want some relief or escape kek. They brought that on themselves though, so I have 0 sympathy for those retarded losers.

They explain away everything by two things:
1. god is above humans and science is a flawed human practice, therefore science can't disprove god
2. if you don't understand something it's because god doesn't want you to understand and you're not supposed to question it because it's god and you're a lowly human

and those two arguments are used to shut up basically every question or doubt.

>reading a book that is full of bs and horrible thinks about women

No idea. I've showed my mom misogynistic paragraphs from the bible that literally tell her she needs to be submissive to men, that she needs to shut up and be quiet as a woman, that men can have several wives but not vice versa, that female slaves are sold for less etc. but she insists that women are equal to men in the bible. The mental gymnastics, denial and lifelong brain washing are real.

repression and doing things ONLY because they fear "God" is why. Muslims are very strange and do a lot of technicality stuff and loopholes. Like every evening during Ramadan they eat a shitton of food, esp sweet stuff. The whole point of fasting completely undermined, too. In Saudi Arabia sex before marriage isnt allowed so they have love hotels where you can get married for a night and divorce afterwards. I'm pretty sure this arrogance of trying to trick Allah and then also doing everything because you fear and don't want to get punished is just so completely wrong and leads to some unique, repressed mental illnesses. Like its obvious that love is the power that beats evil, not fear. And the reason you should avoid sinful things is for your own good. Like catholics fast too during Lent and instead of being a weird set of specific rules (and how to circumvent them) its about it being a personal thing. Where you are encouraged to give up something worldly for example, or otherwise sacrifice and deny yourself. And that you skip a meal and then don't eat two meals later to make up for it for example. Also Ramadan is a funny proof that Islam is a man made fake religion bc they didn't know that there's places on earth where the sun doesn't set kek

You should be criticizing mass religion for misrepresenting him as a fluffy bunny with twink angels that take your prayers like a worker at McDonalds, they are terrifying, primordial beings that have engaged in hideous warfare and battle in the very religious text they come from. Nobody was hiding that fact, it’s people taking these scriptures and entities and twisting them for their own benefit and to control masses of people.

the basic idea of an airplane is that it is designed to generate power (lift) in directions that allow it to over come gravity pulling in the opposite dorection.
the airplane has a bunch of moveable parts and surfaces (on the wings, tails etc) that can be adjusted so that they're always at the right angle to meet/counteract the various forces that apply to the plane (gravity wind, turbulence etc). that way the olane is always at the correct angle to stay up in the air. you can see an example in picrel, the moving parts are in color.
the plane can technically fly without an engine (gliding) but it won't be able to do controlled flight without some of the adjustable parts (like the stabilizers) bc the pilot won't be able to make inputs to compensate whatever forces apply to the plane.

usually when people get to deathfat levels it's not simply due to liking food too much but down to some underlying trauma, grief, low self esteem or something else going on in their lives. they use eating as a coping mechanism to deal with it because there's a dopamine rush from indulging in food. sugary fatty food is also addictive so it becomes a vicious cycle

Yeah it's hard to describe. Every time I tried to explain this feeling to other people they thought I was just egocentric. That's not it, I have no problem looking at things from other people's POV and I do realize everyone has their own life and there's nothing special about mine. I probably just can't find the right words. The thing is my own existence and perception of the world (in a general sense, not my specific way of seeing things) is baffling to me, and it's even weirder to think that every person is confined in their body and mind just the same and it's basically all they know. And of course you can try to see things from another person's perspective and empathize but it's still your thoughts and feelings and your perception of this person. It's not hard to imagine someone having a life completely different from your own or a completely different worldview (although it's also not something you can fully immerse in because it's filtered by yours to a certain degree), but it's wild (to me) that everyone has this "god" in them–not in the sense of inflated ego but in the sense of being the center of everything, exploring and in a way "creating" the world around them so to speak because they only know what they see and can comprehend, and they choose what to seek, and where to go, and what to do, and they experience and interpret it all in their own unique ways. And there are lots and lots of these "centers" or "gods" but where does it even come from? The consciousness itself is incomprehensible and it's even weirder to think that everyone has it. I wish I could elaborate why it feels so weird to me but I can't quite verbalize it yet.

Kek anon, some people I'm sure do think other people are props but I feel like it's more about a sudden "conscious thought" (which is a stupid word combination) than the first thought about it ever.

Imo (as a casual artfag) it's theory that was created to facilitate color picking for aesthetically pleasing and cohesive realistic paintings, and we should not be treating it as absolute guidance for illustrations and design. Plus, the digital ones are shitty and use overly strict rules in a color space that has properties that are fundamentally different from those of traditional painting.

Also I am a functional shopper so I hate the "non-functional" aspects of a lot of fast fashion (no pockets, fabric not resistant enough against thigh chafing, cheap elastic waistbands that turn on themselves, fucking holes on the sides underneath where the breast is for "air ventilation" or some shit, bad quality pocket lining in coats/jackets which ultimately causes you to have shit fall into the lining of your jacket, etc )

two types basically.
woven means you just take horizontal and vertical threads and crissscross them. it gives you a flat (2d) piece of fabric and then you cut that piece and sew it to create a garment.
the other type is knit where instead of Crisscrossing the threads you loop them together. knitted fabric has more give and allows you to make 3d pieces

I think the idea of "acquired taste" refers to the move from having a child's palate to an adult one. Maybe this is inadvertently showing my own thing that doesn't make sense, but I always assumed that. Like as a child I hated all seafood, then one day as an adult I decided to try salmon again after many years and found I liked it. I took it as I had "acquired" a taste for something I hated as a kid.

The way we had nonstop anti fake news/misinformation discourse since at least the 2016 election for multiple years just for it to immediately die at ultra-sonic speed as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine because suddenly some of the misinformation was coming from the good guys (Ukraine/??random american ukrainaboos?), and I don't think I've seen people aknowledging that since.
I understand the whole extreme partisanship part of it (ie anything my guys do is automatically good everytime), but it's baffling that you had people suddenly going "I know I just spent 6 years crusading about how fake news are the worst thing ever, but ermmm actually fake news are good when they're from the guys I like". And then with the whole "ghost of Kiev"saying "ermm it's war folklore you're being such a killjoy", which was such a blatant cope.

On a separate but slightly similar note, it also doesn't make sense to me how ACAB/police abolition became such a ubiquitous position of the (online) left to the point they'll take personal offense at anybody that doesn't want police abolition. And the way they talk about police abolition never makes sense. They either magically think once they install their anarcho-communist utopia in 150 years everybody will be happy so there will be no more crime ever, want that function to be done by a lefty version of neighbourhood watches, or just automatically claim asking them what they want to replace the police with is bad faith and refuse to suggest any replacement at all. It's even more baffling to me when it's coming from non-anarchist leftists (it's already expectable for anarchists to be utopian terminally online tards)

That’s the only way this belief makes sense to me considering how violent and authoritarian some lefties are (“kill all terfs” “die cis scum” for example) They don’t want to rid the world of violent police, they just want the violent police to be working for them.

Why do autists who get obsessed with a piece of media, self-insert, write fanfic, draw/animate it all etc. usually like really popular media? E.g. Disney, marvel, DC, anime etc.?

No. 2094387

But there are autists who pick obscure media, it's just that those ones will always have around 5 followers and never have any viral posts, so they just slip everyone by. We see more of the ones who like popular stuff precisely because it's popular, so everyone, even people who have casual interest in whatever franchise/fandom will give them more attention. I can confirm this because i follow people who like less popular characters, of course somebody is going to be more visible if they obsess of batman rather than an obscure anime character from a series that only ran for 10 episodes. I also tend to find that dc/marvel fags have the benefit of having a constant stream of content and will less likely get bored of their hyperfixations because of that. It's probably boring to make fandom content when only 5 people like the thing that you look, there would be very little incentive to share it because nobody would really care.

>>2101942
Other nonas' answers are good but I want to sperg out a bit. Their explanations describe how computers are able to use code, but it doesn't explain how those 1's and 0's are able to mean anything. Even if code turns into binary, how are 1's and 0's physically able to do math?

Here's my attempt at an explanation:
A computer gets given a binary number in the form of electrical pulses. The computer is physically programmed to divide pulses into groups of a certain size (let's say 8 bits). The computer is also physically programmed to be able to copy bits (electrical signals) from specific locations in memory (RAM). It does all this via series of complex logic gates, which are physical electrical switches that are constructed to behave differently based on their inputs.

A CPU is programmed to be able to copy values that are in RAM. For example, it might go detect the number 00101001 in the memory location 0000 (the default), and copy it into its "instruction" box.

The computer is physically programmed to send the first 4 bits inside the instruction box to a device that can read that electrical signal and "match" it to another device that has different behavior based on how it's constructed. So, it would take 0010 and match it with, say, the device to "load" or copy a value into another place. It will perform that instruction on the second half of the number from memory (1001 from 00101001).
In other words, the machine receives the input 00101001, and the components physically activated by the first half of the input cause logic gates to activate that cause the second half of the input to be stored in memory. When the instruction is done, everything will turn off, and the computer will go physically copy the value in the next memory location (in our example, 0001, since it comes after 0000), and it will do this process for the next instruction, which could also be "load," but could also be something like "add" or "multiply" or "change current memory location."

These instructions are known as machine language instructions. Humans can understand these and can technically program in machine code directly, but it is extremely difficult to do so. Languages like assembly convert to machine code, and languages like C convert to assembly, and languages like Python convert to C. So, modern programmers might write something in python, which eventually gets converted into machine code, which is really just a way to represent how we've physically programmed computers to respond to different series of electrical impulses (binary numbers).

I like the crash course computer science series that I'm linking quite a bit. It's a bit flawed because it jumps from a great introduction to the origins of computing in the first two episodes to a level of detail that most university students aren't expected to fully understand, but it's still very good overall.
Watch the first two episodes of this series; there's no better starting point for beginning to truly understand computers imo, besides maybe a full-length course at a good university.
If you like and understand it, you should seriously consider studying computer science, or at least watching more.

Computer chips are physically made of tiny little circuits that make elctricity stop or start flowing, called logic gates.
If you start with a pool of water and a series of branching water channels comes from it, you can set up the water channels so that the water flows into a particular endpoint. If you set up the 'water channels' (logic gates) in a way that represents the laws of how numbers behave, then you can get the water to do math. The first computer actually was a mechanical device that did math with cogs.
Obviously you can do more with electrical circuits than with water or cogs. Picrel is a circuit called a NOT gate, and the chip has been set up so that if the Y light is on, the Z light is always off, and vice versa.
You can set up these physical pieces of logical rules to do simple math, and if you add more, they can do complicated math. You then use binary machine code (the 1s and 0s) to change what logic gates are used or not, so your logic gate setup machine is actually versatile and can be changed to do what you want. Eventually you can use them to do things like represent the pixels of your husbando on an electric display.

But digital art is confusing to me, I get so overwhelmed, I can't even understand how to use the controls to do anything other than the simplest doodles you've ever seen.

Irish people historically got discriminated against on basis that they're secretly black but white passing, due to some crazy racist "evolutionary theories" about how their skulls and black people's skulls are similar, so they must be black, and therefore should be discriminated against. They faced discrimination in both Britain and America when they immigrated there to escape the discrimination, if I'm not mistaken. It's why there's Irish representation in American shows sometimes, and why it's weird when an Irish (red head) character gets replaced by a black person, because it's perpetuating the belief that "irish=black".

It's just easier to find other points of view while talking anonymously than when you're reading books or when you try to start a dialogue with others because politics and religion are topics that most people don't want to talk about with their family/friends etc.
It's more unbiased when the other person can just speak freely without any sort of social repercussions, like when you post online and then you have a bunch of incels sending rape threats or trying to doxx you because you said that moids aren't as sexualixed as women, or that Islam isn't a peaceful religion because honor killings are disgusting.

I’m not denying it’s easy to get opinions, it’s just questionable how valuable those opinions are when you’re genuinely curious, unless you’re purely seeking confirmation for your own beliefs. A few of the posts earlier in the thread are so obviously based on personal belief yet purported as intellectually sound that I can’t help but face palm… I’m just saying that you are not likely to find quality answers in a place like this when you want to talk about something nuanced.

They really aren't valuable because it's all just anonymous sources, which is why most people just use this method to talk about deep themes to just scratch an itch, or to just say something about the topic, specially when it comes to religion.
I honestly haven't noticed anons really talking about science beyond the basics (reproduction, "my head hurts", cancer) and telling people to go to the doctor because medfagging (at least on cow boards) is bannable and honestly I'm sure medic anons know that they can't just diagnose faceless people.
But yeah, sometimes anons just want to talk about something or say something even if they know their opinions aren't valuable sources, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things after all.
We can all just close the tabs and get a book on religion or science and read any sides of the rubics cube, but it's still fun to see what the anons on the funny cow boards have to say about something.

Because when you're single in your 20s you're perceived as being in between relationships, even if you say you're not looking for a relationship they think it's inevitable you'll get into a relationshio. And the perceived inevitable should have happened by time you're in your 30s. They think women are npcs, it's beyond their imagination and understanding that a woman could actively choose to be single, a woman could only ever be single and childless because she was unfortunately not able to get a man.

That's genuinely what normies subconciously think.

>"The puzzle piece symbol was first introduced in 1963 by the National Autistic Society (NAS) in the UK as a way to represent the complexity and mystery of autism."
As far as I know, most autism support or awareness groups find this symbolism to be very offensive because it implies that autism is something that needs to be "solved" or fixed rather than understood.

Well, it says that it's because when it was designed, people thought autists were "puzzling". Nowadays the infinity symbol is used because it represents a group of "complex" people, and it's gay colored because of the spectrum.
There's even a "pride flag" as if being autistic was the same as being gay.
Idk, I would change the symbol for something different, it feels unfair to use the rainbow when it's supposed to represent gay people.

No. 2109167

whenever the reason it's a puzzle piece comes up, I hear that it actually offends people. something about it being a puzzle to solve or about autists having a missing puzzle piece, both of which sound offensive. maybe it has been long enough that it's not really something people think about anymore but I don't see a lot of functional autists using the puzzle symbol which tells you a lot.

This. Somewhere out there, a man with skid marks in his underwear and who hasn't had a dental cleaning in 4 years would appreciate it if you'd make the first move and message him. You could be enraptured in a tepid relationship where you yearn for basic respect and romance gestures, and slowly kill your youth via (man)child rearing. This man would appreciate it if you'd panic about your fertility and lower your basic standards, so he can fulfill his low energy goal of being a sperm donor. You could spend many weekends together cooking for him and cleaning toothpaste off the edge of the sink. If you do a good job, he might buy you a cubic zirconia necklace from the clearance section of the Zales brochure once a year.

Boomers and Xoomers' obsession with irl socializing, to them is a life or death situation. Keep in mind that I'm a young millennial and didn't have internet till I was 10 but I was a painfully shy kid so I always hated small talk and forced socializing situation, I only had one friend is school and many in other schools because I liked to talk about common stuff and not the "hi what's up" type conversation but it was never a problem to me, I like my own company and being lost in my thoughts but after working retail and offices, I moved to a new city and I was looking for a full remote job, mind you, I'm from a country that realized that remote was a thing during covid, when I posted that, a flock of older people came to me and started telling me "But what about socializing?"
I don't like to socialize because I'm forced to lol, I'm at work to work, in fact in the office I worked before I was one of the best performers because I didn't waste time gossiping on smoke breaks. Older people love to say that younger people are the ones always on they damn phone am i right dudes?? but they're the ones always on it, back to the topic, no one of these retards was being helpful to me, only commenting about how I'm a sociopath.
I want a full remote job because I don't like to waste time and money on transportation but to them this is absurd and sign that I'm probably not fit to work at all because muh socializing, always in that office one of these retards went to my boss asking me if I could talk to him, why do you need me to talk to you? Why can't you see I'm working? Do you actually have friends? People love to say that I'm friendless but why do they feel the need to bond with every group of people they meet? I don't feel alone at all and I have a lot of friends that I meet on weekeds, you know, after goddamn work. He couldn't understand why I didn't like to talk or gossip. I know I need to be social to go on but there's a difference in between formal communication and people forcing you to be in their social circle or "work friends", leave me the fuck alone.

Godness, I just find pet owners morally questionable. That's all. I don't like pet ownership as a concept and unfortunately, because I do wish it wasn't the case, I find that almost every pet owner I've encountered either

>is covered in fur
>lives in an enviroment covered in fur
>low grade psychopathic

I disdain pet ownership and how it negatively interplays with social aspects of animal ethics, its perception of living creatures (such as the instillment of artifical humanity) and animal consumption. Owning another animal in the ways that that pet owners do is unnatural. Most pet owners shouldn't own pets, like 65%-78% of them shouldn't. I'm not even a vegan. I will eat almost any animal if given the chance, I love meat and have more respect for the local pig farmers than I do for a dog/cat owner.

I understand you fully it also isnt lost on me that in America as soon as slavery and jim crow ended that is when the rise of dog ownership happened. They also started naming their dogs more human names around that time. A lot of dog (especially) ownership in america is due to no longer being able to control and own a certain demographic of people. Another reason why im personally wary of dog owners of a certain hue especially. I question them the most on why they own so many animals. And why they seem to humanize animals in a way no other race does. While doing some of the most questionable things with said animals.I also just think pets arent meant to be owned.

Dogs are made for women too. There's a reason wolves and most normal dogs trust women way more than men. It was men who corrupted dogs and made shit like pitbulls, but actual dogs were always more comfortable around women and even today they're actual guardians from violent men. That's why men make up the "women fuck dogs" meme, out of sick projection and because the fact that a woman can own and trust a dog who can maul them easily makes them seethe. Female dogs and wolves were always a symbol of gentleness, motherhood and protectiveness (qualities that men-made dogs lack).

Irish wolfhounds are one of the largest breeds of dogs. Look it up yourself they're big af. I guess it's necessary for hunting wolves.

The woman is probably short, but Irish Wolfhounds really do get that fucking big. They're the tallest dog breed that exists, when they stand on two legs they can be taller than a grown man. They're very good guard dogs who are sweet and calm with their owners, too bad the size makes them prone to illnesses.

I still don't get cute aggression. How can something be so adorable that it makes me feel overwhelmed to the point I wanna bite and squish it?Last night, my cat was being super cuddly and making adorable noises that my teeth started grinding and even my dad heard it from the other side of the room.

Is this true that white people don’t have real friends and don’t know how to have a sense of community? I feel like I hear people of all races complaining about fake or mean friends or being friendless. For context, she was talking about some Mormon reality tv show where a woman left her friend group chat, and all the black women in the comments are saying she would never have been let in again and they would have dropped her as a friend(baiting)

Not racebaiting or trying to be shitty at all I'm just now realizing that I never really questioned or understood what was supposed to be empowering about Malala being a hijabi and getting shot? Surviving being attacked is amazing but I don't get 1) why they were targeting her to begin with (why was she famous, why did they only shoot her despite her being on a bus full of other girls) 2) what was supposed to be empowering about being muslim and getting shot

No. 2175809

>>2175802
She was shot because she's a woman pursuing education. She miraculously survived with minimal damage and still pursued education and has been championing for women's rights ever since. That is why she's such a big deal. She wasn't shot because of a totally random attack that could have happened to any Muslim she was literally targeted for being a female in the Islamic faith who dared to go to school.

No. 2175814

NTA, but that's incredible. I cant believe any one would cap for islam when they would rather shoot their own women than have them be educated. I hope she is doing well.

It’s a pretty common practice in a lot of countries. The idea behind it is that it aids digestion, contracts sleepiness from the meal, and gives you more time to finish the conversation you were having during dinner. Keep in mind it’s just a small cup of coffee and not some giant mug.

Why moids get so offended and have to screech "b-but not all men!" when a woman says anything negative about them. Whenever a man says something negative about women, I roll my eyes and think he's an idiot but I move on. One would only get offended if they related to the thing in question.

That feeling is an instinct to keep us alive, it's primarily for babies, but it has extended to other animals, like kitties for example. Babies are born premature, most mammals just walk right out of their parents, but human babies are helpless, so most people, not just their mothers, find them incredibly cute and have the "I could just eat you up" feeling so they can stay close to their babies. We see other animals with big eyess, a big head, round tummy and other baby traits and get the same " so cute I want to smoosh you and never let you out of my sight and protect you" feeling

I honestly don't get the purpose of marriage. On a deeper level I guess it's a commitment promise to them and yada yada but these days it's just a government thing for financial benefit (or detriment). You love each other, now sign your love as a social norm to the government. Idk maybe I'm just retarded

>these days it's just a government thing for financial benefit
Why are you saying that like it doesn't count as a real reason? That is literally the purpose. You can be in love without marriage but you can't combine finances to the same secure, legally defensible standard without it.

No. 2286358

Middle names. It's not a norm where I'm from and just creates more annoying issues when you have to sign up with government ID. Is it for distinction, or what?

No. 2286513

>>2286451
Yeah, it's mostly to distinct one person from another, say if you have someone in your family named
>Maria
And then someone else gets a baby in your family and names her
>Maria
Things will get confusing, so someone will be like
>Okay, yours is Maria Alejandra and mine is Maria Helena
So it's less confusing for everyone to know which Maria are you talking about.
Plus it's nice to have another name that rhymes with your first name and last name.

The concept of babysitting. How can you trust a total stranger and even pay them to watch your child? Older people where I'm from are horrified by the concept kek. They teach their children to lock the doors and close the windows and not make a sound inside the house.

Most cows are boring now and are just photoshop ewhores. This used to be taboo but everyone filters and shoops their pictures online now and is some onlyfans thot so it's become whatever. Cows are less interesting than they used to be.
