| Topic | Child molesters in Alabama will now be chemically castrated, ok? |
| pedro45 01/01/20 3:55:04 PM #50 | Aculo posted... The empathy most of you seem to have for child molesters is concerning, to say the least, ok? And the amount of hate some people have... Maybe we need to address mental health since this has been a thing since humans were...human. we're all animals. Why some of us rape is beyond most of our understanding and why some of us are attracted to another creature not able to reproduce is beyond like all of us. I think it was batman that said killing a killer, still leaves with a killer. Taking out someone who committed the crime does not prevent the crime from ever happening, just that one person. Anger makes you stupid. Let's channel our anger and make it productive. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

Why not just ask for small bills at the bank instead of trying to buy a soda with $100 bill and getting mad when the cashier only has $50 in the till. They're not using a bank. Instead it's some cash checking place or grocery store. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

I buy a lot of store brand products and use tons of coupons, but I don't devote my life to coupons nor do I buy in bulk. I feel like I'm a smart shopper and not blinded by advertisements.

| pedro45 12/26/19 10:06:30 AM #33 | It's more like the business didn't wanna give you good benefits along with that full time. Businesses are out to make a dollar and every now and again someone tries to make sure they give back to who helped them earn that dollar.

My family decided a few years ago that anyone over the age of 18 doesn't get a present, so considering I have two cousins under 18, I give two presents and receive none.Do you do other traditions at least?

| pedro45 12/19/19 1:52:25 PM #19 | Judgmenl posted... I'm straight-edge to the point where anything that could modify my judgment is dangerous. Hell, I have a debate on whether or not caffeine affects my anxiety negatively (because it's proven it does). You can have better control of yourself. Some drugs help you feel how people feel without them (average sober person), and some drugs make you feel in a way nothing else can. If you need anxiety to work, maybe tap into what gives it to you so you can have better control over it. I can drink coffee for pleasure or for energy. In moderate amounts, it's good for you even. In that sense, I'd almost say it's like juice. When we all try to divide the line between good drugs and bad drugs, we need to remember it is all drugs. It's really confusing on kids/teens, too, if you're trying to tell them some are only bad. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 12/10/19 12:00:08 PM #1 | Anyone find this commonly in their life? I was thinking about this other day as I was getting to know someone. I love to read and talk about it a lot. I'm a slow reader though. The person I was talking to said they only kind of read, but it turns out they read almost 3x as much as me! It's very similar with video games, in the sense that most people are better than me, despite having a setup for myself dedicated to video games and that I play them quite a bit. Inversely, I really don't enjoy people. I'd rather be quiet and left alone, or in a small crowd rather than a large group, but I excel at customer service. People who like to party, have a large social life, etc., typically can't deal with people like I do. So, anyone similar? Any thoughts? Do I enjoy suffering and doing poorly or something? --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

It is basic, too, so you can do almost as many as you have room for and it is quick. Plus, if you keep them in the water when you're eating a different one, it stays warm. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

I know I'm in the minority using this storage system, but it was recommended by my optometrist when I kept getting eye allergies and it worked. I have so many leftover bottles with just a little bit left since you change it monthly. If you haven't ever used it before, it is great for making your contacts feel super fresh almost every day.

Otherwise, reheated pizza is better than cold, but then again reheated can be really good if you use an oven and cook it properly.

| Topic | If an employee asks to see your RECEIPT as you walk out, What would you do?? |
| pedro45 12/01/19 1:23:23 PM #21 | darcandkharg31 posted... I do it cause they're just doing their job, not like they're actually trying to bust people or being malicious. Like yesterday I was walking out and they just asked and quickly marked the receipt without even really looking at it. Exactly. In high crime stores, it helps greatly with theft. In other cases, there's usually codes on the receipt that help security. It lets them know that maybe they left a security tag on shoes, the top of a bottle, etc. If you beep, it can be because of a simple mistake. No one likes getting a bottle of Jack Daniel's home to learn they forgot the security tag on top. --- Warning: Sometimes biased https://imgur.com/V0x5fw8 https://imgur.com/IOovUge https://imgur.com/zw7bqPH |

| pedro45 11/27/19 10:57:15 AM #31 | jramirez23 posted... I feel like the above sounds reasonable. It does seem strange for me to try speak with a stranger like that. I bet for the average dude, they would have <10% success rate doing that. But its hard to tell because we arent just taking a random sample lol Success in finding someone special will never be high. Basically, you can either swing at every pitch and know you'll eventually get a hit, or you can keep an eye out for more clues to raise those chances. It's silly the amount of hints and gestures I missed when I was single. I didn't do too bad, but once I met my current girlfriend, it all became obvious. Like stated, if they smile or seem to linger closer to you, they may think you're cute. Being able to be rejected and then play it off helps. Makes it more like a practice swing.
