  • I stopped using Google reviews because it's absolutely pointless with the deleted reviews. So far I've had almost all of my bad reviews removed, even though I always write an honest description of why the food or service was bad. There are some really bad restaurants in my city that regularly go down to 1,x before they remove all bad reviews and it jumps to 4,x again for a while.

    The problem is that public ratings will just never be useful. Either you have owners that delete all the bad reviews, or you don't let them delete and good businesses can be review bombed for petty reasons.

  • On my 5th birthday my parents threw a party for me with friends from kindergarten. My father had a pretty good camera for the time and loved taking photos. This was during analog times, way before digital cameras, so you wouldn't just take a bunch of photos because it got expensive. He wanted to take a group photo and I, always being a little annoyed back then with the constant photos, stuck out my tongue. He tried to make me smile but I refused. So he told me he'd take the photo of me sticking out my tongue and I'd regret it when I'm an adult that I don't have a nice photo of me on my 5th birthday. I'm 40 and I don't regret it. Love that photo.

  • I'm a CIS-woman. I just stumbled upon this post and tried the app for fun. I got 71% female and 29% male. I can also get the app to show 92% male be simply talking in a deep voice that I guarantee sounds nothing like a man but like a woman lowering her voice. Not saying that the app is useless, just take the results with a grain of salt.

  • I started Escitalopram 4 weeks ago. Not motivated for anything yet and my brain still feels like it's filled with cotton, but I can at least sleep again and don't panic about every small thing anymore.

  • Ich dachte, Straßen zu blockieren und die hart arbeitende Bevölkerung auf ihrem Weg ins Büro zu behindern ist eine inakzeptable Form des Protestes?

  • Thanks, I didn't know they had a name other than "colorblindness test" :D

  • I guess it's pretty easy for him. It seems like he has a very mild form and can't tell certain shades apart. I think it was something like yellow and grass green or red and orange. So he hasn't had any noticable problems.

  • There are several different types of color blindness, so it depends. In case of reds greens blindness I think they see both as grey.

    We found out by chance that my husband is colorblind

  • Also ich habe das in mehreren erlebt. In kleinen Saunen in kommunalen Schwimmbädern und auch in großen Saunalandschaften. Offiziell steht manchmal ein Schild da, dass Smartphones verboten sind, aber niemand unternimmt etwas.

  • Ich war seit Jahren nicht mehr in der Sauna deswegen. Jeder hat sein Handy draußen und man weiß nicht, wer einen filmt. Und das eine Mal, als ich einen Typen beim filmen erwischt habe, hatte er das Handy natürlich weggelegt als ich mit dem Mitarbeiter zurückkam und der Mitarbeiter hat nur mit den Schultern gezuckt und nichts gemacht.

  • I'm sure they will find a way to explain it as a genius 5D chess move to "troll the libs".

  • My understanding is that bipolar people are swinging between depression and a manic state. Also these state last usually several days. My mother has a bunch of other symptoms of NPD, not just that one.

  • My mother is very similar and I'm pretty sure she's a narcissist. She could also switch between "Have fun at the playground my darling! I'll have your favorite dinner ready when you come back!" to "Why did you come back?? I'm sick of you! Get lost and don'tcome back! Having children was the worst mistake of my life!" within an afternoon.

    So no, it's not normal.

  • She often overstepped the guests' boundaries. For exampled she pressured Mariah Carey into drinking alcohol as a toast to "not being pregnant" in order to force her to admit she was pregnant. Carey later said she didn't want to discuss her pregnancy due to a history of miscarriages. She also got really aggressive towards a guest for not having been invited to her birthday party. That's just her on-camera behavior. There are numerous stories of her being an asshole to basically everyone behind the scenes.

  • It's partially general advise for taking care of yourself (stay fit, use make-up (just don't call it that), choose clothes that fit you) packaged inside a large pile of bullshit, pseudo-science and grifters trying to sell you normal items for 30x the price. The parts that are legit can be learned from other sources that aren't selling you an ideology. Go to medical professionals for advise on nutrition and working out, just buy normal makeup and get fashion advise from fashion content.

    The parts that aren't legit like bone smashing can be really harmful.

  • I think part of the reason is that Harry Potter is one of the more interactive Fandoms. The world in Ender's Game is more or less closed. The story is finished, the world isn't too big.

    Harry Potter on the other hand (much like e.g. Star Trek) is way more inviting to be interactive: Which house are you, what would be your favorite class, what might the other schools look like etc. It is (by design or not) built to invite engagement and also very marketable. The special foods, the shops, all the gimicky in-world-items, the classes...

    You get people so invested into this world beyond the books because there are so many details that are marketable. Other fantasy or SciFi worlds just aren't full of fun little items you can sell. In that regard Harry Potter is more like those kids shows that are made to sell toy lines.

    So most people are way more emotionally attached to the stories. It wasn't just the books and a Halloween costume. It was years of choosing your house, learning about potions, discussing brooms, trying to cook the food, etc.
