I'm in Canada and my issue is every machine wants you to tap somewhere different. They all have a label somewhere indicating where to tap, but sometimes it's on a screen, sometimes a sticker somewhere, sometimes a handwritten note next to the machine... and there are so many other signs and stickers all over the place that I often don't spot the right one right away, so it takes me a couple of tries. Other than that it's very easy.
But the cashiers always look at you judgingly like "why don't you know how to do this basic thing?? It has the little logo RIGHT THERE beside these other 6 flashier logos." Or at least in mind that what they're thinking lol
Yep, threatened to commit suicide and everything. When I started dating again he found my new SO's social media and said if he kept dating me he would fight him. Thankfully the new SO was a reasonable person and just answered "I don't want to fight you so I'm just going to call the cops."
This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don't have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don't need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn't be sold in bulk.
Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.
The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.
I'm a woman and my first IUD insertion really didn't hurt me very much. Uncomfortable, but quick and not too bad.
But when my friends complained about the pain during theirs, I believed them. Because we are all different people with wildly different bodies. I have empathy.
It's not a difficult concept, but I think a lot of people struggle with it. "It was fine for me so anyone who complaints is making it up!"
Anyway, when I went to get my IUD replaced, the second insertion was absolute hell, so now I really get it. But I didn't need to go through it myself to believe people when they say they experience pain. There's so much evidence out there indicating that women experience pain. Is it really so hard to just believe the evidence?
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.
Depends on context and the skill in question. For example, in my office, good at technology means you know how to submit a ticket to IT and you don't have a panic attack if someone mentions excel.
Ladies, I am a curvy 13 year old but I still chase like a cat half my age! I am looking for my true love to spend the rest of my life with (must be Christian, no more than 5 years old, and orange).
I live with my parents and my siblings (one of them is a dog, the other is a jerk) and I WILL NOT groom myself so you must be willing to do it for me. I will complain the entire time.
Many governments cut social programs that would result in net benefits economically for society (e.g. disability services that mean more people can maintain jobs, education, family planning, public transit, all mean more money is being made overall including more taxes going to the government). But it isn't a direct enough benefit and it's hard to quantify, whereas slashing funding feels like immediate savings.
Imagine no longer paying for your phone service in order to save money, then being confused about why none of the jobs you applied to are calling you back. Same logic.
They outdo themselves every year. There's always at least one episode that was insane that they could pull it off. They obviously have an amazing team!
Acting like he hates the snuggles but doing nothing to get away, then looking obviously disappointed when I stop.
Cuddling up against me while I'm distracted so when I look beside me there's a surprise cat there I can pet.
Hurrying me up to give him food, but once the food is served he comes up to me to give me a quick petting opportunity before he digs in. It's my reward for feeding, him I guess. If I don't take the chance to pet him, he won't wait for me, so I need to act fast!
I'm choosing a light fixture right now and I'm trying to decide which one looks best with all the natural fibers I plan to place in the same room, and the fact that I'm choosing to spend real hours on this self-created homework when I could instead be playing video games should tell you all you need to know.
