Why do people insist they are right?
Like you'll say something about your grandma's laundromat where she served beer. Then someone will, with all the essence of their being swear there has never been any beer at any laundromat ever!
Um, I worked there for 5 years, here's pictures and the Google map location... but they'll still swear it doesn't exist.
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys18 hours agoWhat's the word for this?
When you Google "accouterments" there's a spot at the end of the first hit that says "similar: paraphernalia, items..." When what they mean to say is "synonyms; ..."
So what's the word or idea around making something incorrect and stupid because people are likely too stupid to know the real word?
4 AnswersWords & Wordplay4 days agoWhat new video is making kids gangsta dance in front of windows? ?
I'm seeing it all over the place, not just in the hood, fyi. Which means it's a new music video. They make gang signs and gun-finger hands, but most telling is it's always in front of a window. Bus, laundromat, and more.
2 AnswersRap and Hip-Hop1 week agoIs pumping blood energetically wastefully like the incandescent lightbulb?
The light bulb gives off heat which is one measure of the electricity that is not being used to create light. Are pumping blood or other systems of the human body wasteful in this way? Does circulation experience friction that creates heat and sound or anything like this?

Ready meals and raw?
I go into some stores and while they have meat and produce, the vast majority of the layout is boxed, packaged, frozen, junk food. aka "bathroom rental agreements." Get it, huh, huh...? Others are the complete opposite, can't find a decent frozen POS if you try.
2 AnswersOther - Food & Drink2 weeks agoIs this grounds for a racial discrimination case?
That there's an undertone of refusing to teach anybody of color anything or promote them in any way. You get alot of "yeah yeah yeah" and/or something just short of "just sweep the floor, ******."
The issue is there is no hard and fast rule-breaking line to quote or moment to review in the cameras. It's just a feeling, an overall understanding, or the like.
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics2 weeks agoWhy is AC/DC and Tom Petty from 1984 all that's on the radio?
Why is 2-5 bands, and only their 5 songs from 1983-1987 on constant repeat on every radio station from top 40 to classic rock or heavy metal; why is only this every narrow window of time and culture, 40+ years later still the only music America has to offer 24/7 non stop on every station?
I realize old guys are the target audience, but no old guy has had the same complaint as I yet? In 60 years of life, Boomer and the Ditz don't have their cousin's band opening for Slayer in 2001 on cassette tape or nothing? Sitting in an old box behind the forklift since 2012?
1 AnswerRock and Pop2 weeks agoWhat does a sniper scout really do?
In terms of a day-to-day protocol. Such as "he first confirms the caliber and grain weight chambered, he takes wind measurements and establishes distance..."
Military3 weeks agoWhy are scumbags required to act "professional?"?
There are jobs that exist solely because someone has to do it and a brain surgeon isn't likely to apply to be a grave digger or something super low brow. So why do most jobs get mad when a team who have all been to prison, under 30, who sweep floors alone in the dark tell fart jokes or the like?
Why should they be "professional" when they clearly aren't. Porta potty man is not in the professions.

6 AnswersCooking & Recipes4 weeks agoHow much can blind people see?
I have a crush on a blind girl I run into sometimes, and I try not to stare and be creepy, but ya' know. However, she seems to stare right back at me making eye contact. But her sight is bad enough that she has to feel around for a door knob. Can they see vague blobs of movement or something?

4 AnswersPolls & Surveys4 weeks agoWhat's the practicality of landing on a deserted island to save someone?
With a plane or ship, I'm sure there are things like not having a runway or FAA permission would make it impossible to land at will if you saw a castaway.

1 AnswerLyrics1 month agoIs no-show Uber drivers a common thing?
I've been in a few situations when a bunch of us need a ride (in various directions). And the hip kids who use Uber of Lyft are there waiting 30% longer up-to no-shows, than those using a traditional cab company.
Is the fundamental design error of community transport companies the fact they do indeed, in fact hire any random schmo off the streets/internet? ...who meets basic requirements...?
