    'Mansplaining'

    So, let me start off by saying I've never used this word and never will. I just see it on my Facebook feed in lots of articles/stories. I don't see why we need a new word for everything. It just causes oversimplifying and generalizing which I think makes it harder for people to have a real...

    New feature - warning history

    If you go to your profile you can see the details of your past warnings. Here are my 2 favorites (I have 3): 2015: You can not attack other members and call them tools 2012: Just a friendly reminder, it is not alright to tell another poster to go to hell, for any reason. :D

    Social Security benefits expected to be cut by 2034

    http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/13/news/economy/social-security-trust-fund-projection/index.html Below is an article saying if we increased the cap to $250,000, it would push back the cut to 2055. That is what we need to do, right now, to give us more time. And I think the cap should increase with...

    Approporiate door-holding-open distance

    The place I work at has a pretty long hallway that almost always has people in it, and inevitably I'm either holding a door open for someone or having it held open for me. And sometimes there is that awkward moment where someone holds it open for me when I'm too far back and I have to hurry up...

    Terrible "Music" and/or Annoying Lyrics

    C N Red nominates Despacito. I wonder if he means any Despacito, Bieber-Despacito, or Non-Bieber-Despacito. I've actually been thinking of making this ever since the first time I heard "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur. I normally don't have such strong responses to songs but it's one of...

    Pressure from parents to make grandkids

    What are some of the annoying/funny comments you non-parents get from your grandchild-wanting-parents? My mom doesn't pressure me too much (probably 'cause one of my 2 siblings pulled through for her and created 2 of them) but she drops what she thinks are casual hints. For instance I'm in the...

    Have we really become more sensitive?

    My theory is no. PC Culture isn't a new thing. It's an old thing with a catchy new name that people use for specific types of things they're told not to do. MTV was banned in my hometown for over a decade starting in the early 90's because a lot of Christian parents called and complained...

    Religious freedom and female genital mutilation

    Not an easy topic to think about or talk about... I've known a long time that this was done and I try to ignore it because I can't do anything about it. But I read the articles about the doctor they arrested in the U.S. for performing it and ended up reading more on it, and what they do for...

    Used car purchasing advice

    I've been lucky with cars in that I've had 3 hand-me-downs and never had to buy my own car until now. In other words I have no experience at all. We're currently saving up for a nice car but we're not ready to buy it yet. But now my car (the car that was supposed to last) is dead and needs...

    I would really like to talk to Republicans about the EPA

    I'm perfectly fine with looking into corruption and actual waste. But I can't for the life of me understand why anyone other than corporations who cause a lot of pollution would want to make the EPA smaller or leave it up to states. It's easy as hell to explain why it's a terrible idea. Let's...

    I have a stupid loan question

    My student loan is made up of a bunch of loans, and I'm paying off the highest interest one first. But the principal on the others is increasing (by a few cents) even though I'm paying the full monthly payment and covering all of the interest every month. It amounts to < $5 every month but...

    Weird things you do that you don't tell people about

    Okay, post something weird that you don't really tell people, other than internet people or your close friends. Mine is: I watch ASMR videos. It's not that it was a fad that I decided to try. I've always experienced ASMR, but it never had a name until recently. If you don't know what the heck...

    How to deal with noise complaints... against you :(

    So, I live in a 2nd floor apt. Admittedly we were loud one night in September and got complaints. I felt like a jerk and we've been quiet since then. The quiet time is 10pm-6am. But we received another complaint from 2 neighbors this week on a night we both went to bed at 11:30pm and we don't...

    How much of political leaning is social/cultural rather than issue based?

    Just kinda thinking out loud here and wondering what others' opinions are. I was just thinking, it seems to me that poor people in low populated areas have a lot more in common with poor people in urban areas than each has with the wealthy. At least as far as which policies would benefit them...
