  • food is a big part of every culture and it is something everyone has to deal with several times a day. That already brings in a lot of opportunities where someone's diet is relevant to conversation. And, veganism goes beyond diet. I don't think they necessarily do it on purpose, you probably don't notice how often you bring up specifically the opposite of veganism.

  • thank you! every time I see this I get upset.

    You could just as easily have a confusing sentence with the Oxford comma like this

    "We invited JFK, the stripper, and Stalin."

    is JFK a stripper?

    It doesn't matter, it's the author's responsibility to write things unambiguously.

  • these methods don't account for all the variables that reality has. People across all boarding groups will be late, there will be people that need assistance from flight attendants, there will be people who want to switch seats to be near their family, there will be people who can't sit in the exit row, there will be people who need to use the rest room, there will be people who've never been on a plane before.

    There is no great, full proof way to handle it because people are unpredictable

  • I flew around 26 times domestically last year and most of the flights ran out of space. It's really common for the airline to ask for volunteers to check their carry-ons. If you aren't in the first 2/3rds of people on the plane, you'll likely be forced to check your carry-ons.

    This problem has gotten worse over the years because airlines have increased the prices for checking your luggage so many people opt to bring carry-ons instead.

  • I had pretty terrible math education in school but as an adult I've gotten into programming and making video games and every time I learn a math concept I think "wow, math is even cooler than I thought" but the main part stopping me from learning some concepts is not having a practical example.

    I vaguely know differentiation and integration.. I think it might be the correct way to describe things like determining/applying acceleration to an object over time.. but when I read your description I really don't understand..

    I think that's in general what I run into with math. it's cool and amazing when I get it, but a lot of the descriptions of concepts have a lot of assumptions about the reader sometimes to the point where to understand the description you'd have to already understand the concept.

  • but not everyone wants to buy yet (younger people, people who want flexibility, people who know they are moving [only in that city for school], etc).

    People don't want to buy a house because it's either unaffordable, unavailable or the process takes too long. If you eliminate those aspects of home ownership, people wouldn't mind and maybe even prefer owning a home for short periods of time.

  • my cat sometimes will leave the room, wail in a seemingly stressed way and if I go up to her and she sees me she meows sweetly and then follows me back to where we were.

    I'm always thinking if I find a genie, one of my wishes would be to understand her better.
