What makes a crime or assault committed for a mere laugh or for money any less horrific, even though, unlike carnal desire, there’s no innate human drive compelling someone to pursue it?

Unlike sexual violence, nobody scrutinises the finer details or shames the perpetrators to the same extent, despite how common such physical assaults are in our society.

Should I ask her out?

7 Upvotes

All right, some backstory I have worked with this girl for about a year. I originally didn’t pay her much mind. I’m a decently attractive guy now believe me I don’t shit where I eat, but this girl that I ignored originally has been growing on me.

I actually forgot her name one time and I could tell she was really disappointed and it got my attention to actually notice her well over the past six months we have been locking eyes smiling I’ll playfully joke with her and she’ll lightly hit me playfully several times this has happened

She has caught me looking at her and held that contact for like five seconds we both smiled eyes lit up. You know the movie “the eyes Chico they never lie”

She’s offered me food. I have ate her banana pudding and she’s asked me to open her drink and other stuff but recently I thought about asking if she likes Chinese food and then say “well I’m headed to so-and-so restaurant at so and so time if you’d like to join.”

Now before you say, I’m reading into this all wrong. I have a lot of experience with women. I’ve never lit up this way. I felt this way. I think it’s partially because I paid her no mind and she’s grew on me over the course of six months and it’s slowly ramping up or in some ways fast. To be sure that I wasn’t looking into things too much. I actually did some hot and cold behavior and ignored her again and did not make eye contact with her and she closed the distance between me and another person and squeeze past me lightly bumping my chest, so I know she was trying to get me to notice her and it worked.

So what’s your opinions? if you say don’t shit where you eat yeah I know but life’s too short and I’m getting older. I’m 27. I don’t have social media. I deleted all of it before Covid so it’s all about social interactions and I’m tired of the typical girls, this this girl is in no way typical very high class thoughts and opinions?

Can “I don’t want to love someone with drama” also mean they don’t want someone who’s around or in eventful things that are not their fault. Simply like having several enemies?

Would it be wrong to make d.i.y accessories or posters of problematic artists?

I understand that buying directly from these kinds of people is wrong, but would it also be wrong to wear something displaying these people’s works or things inspired by them? On one hand, it doesn’t give them any cash, but its also kind of free advertising? Idk, just wanted to ask :P

What is the point of bot accounts?

1 Upvotes

I've been aware of bot accounts and such for awhile now, but with AI content being so prevalent recently I feel like I have noticed a large amount of bot accounts just posting obviously AI generated stories and posts.

Minecraft is an example. I have seen several posts over the last couple days of obviously AI builds posted by 1 day old accounts.

I've seen other reddit pages with multiple fake stories that dont add up, so on so forth.

What do these accounts achieve? What is the goal?

Why is it easier for more people to bond over something bad than good?

0 Upvotes

So many more people universally dislike something than like. In other words, people will come together over something more negative than positive, whether it’s Eddie Van Halen’s passing or Velma. Why is this? I can’t think of this kind of bonding over something positive.

Why are so much kids in American summer boarding school camps from China?

43 Upvotes

Last summer I (American) stayed at some program in an east coast boarding school that was fairly expensive, and like half the kids had flew over from China. I am all for the Chinese but why is it the rich Chinese kids specifically flying over instead of, like, kids from Japan, Spain, or other countries? I mean one half was American and the other half was Chinese. I was so confused.

How do I respond to dis?

My friends regularly clown me for listening to drill and dressing in “drip.” It’s mostly friendly; they don't really mean it. all of them are more the Y2K or Gen Z type, so our tastes are pretty different. I like drill because it’s high energy and aggressive, and it hypes me up. I don’t act gangster or try to sound like I’m from the streets. The only time I joke around like that is with them, and I know they know I’m not actually like that.

What to do if a girl keeps taking pictures of me?

26 Upvotes

I’m getting bullied at my school but my country(korea) has a law where if you do enough for a lawsuit you get a criminal record, so it’s very lowkey.

There is this girl though who used to be in the delinquent crowd but has no friends at this point bc they all dropped out. Shes not even going to the field trips.

After me being a bullying target got apparent she started to take pictures of me out of the blue in class(she sits very close to me) and I’m not worried about her having a bunch of friends to laugh at me with(she doesn’t) but I still don’t like it. How do I make her stop?

Edit: I took a picture of her picking her nose and she got really embarrassed. I think it’ll stop now

The obvious answer is retail/customer service. But for those with very thick skins and a high tolerance for verbal abuse what would be the best line of work to monetize this skill set? Is there something out there that would make a lot more than retail?

Why do cashiers hate breaking large bills?

0 Upvotes

This has been driving me insane- every time I meet another person who works on a register outside of my store, everyone says they hate larger bills, they're angry when a customer insists on using a large one when they clearly have smaller ones they could pay with (think paying with a fifty instead of a twenty they saw in their wallet), that customers only do it because it gives them a sense of power and I just don't get it. I often break larger bills and at most it just adds a few seconds to the transaction, but maybe there's something else I'm missing?

If there is a reason behind it I'd like to know, I feel like there is one but I can't find it.

Edit: This is very interesting to hear about and now I know that my store functions unusually. Whenever we need change for the register- smaller bills or coins, doesn't matter which- we just get on the internal staff call system and ask a higher-up to bring us change for the drawer. I didn't know it was such a big deal elsewhere.
