Well I was in the two "ask" communities, but then a person in charge, who many are concerned about in regards to motivations, made sure I got both the boot (the "normal" part of the punishment) as well as a taste of unprovoked exposure (wut?)

One thing comes to mind, but it's not really liked/understood.

Social incentive is just as much a thing as economic incentive.

I like to think this is their way of confirming the two universes are canon and that the characters are subconsciously aware.

The ending to Castle. A series that went on for eight seasons, where they were given several warnings about how the actors (who didn't get along) might quit and challenge production, and then it happens, and instead of preparing a proper ending or deciding to recast Beckett, they had the characters win against the mafia, then randomly die because the writers are absolutely obsessed with cliffhangers, then randomly be brought back to life, then randomly turn it into a Wizard of Oz type of ending with kids we've never seen before, all because they stalled writing an ending until the very last moment. As much as people blame Stana Katic for leaving and throwing a wrench into things, you can't say the writers didn't have some kind of hand in how things turned out. Every possible thing that could've fixed the show was voluntarily ignored.

We live in a world where we think of marriage as defined by what the paperwork says, but true marriage comes from the heart.

My best friends are the reverse of this, they are inseparable and have a family they help but decided not to seal the deal bureaucratically or even spiritually. They say a part of it was being tired of being judged based on association and knowing nobody could do that if nobody connected them.

If you having trouble knowing what to say in a conversation is what you're getting at, I can relate to that. Once in a while I'll have found a stranger whose standards I can meet, but they're so few and far between that no tangible friendships have been made.

If you see a toilet in your dreams, don't use it!

Quite a few.

  • “How do you sleep on your stomach with your breasts?”

  • “How do you see down below your breasts when you need to look to the ground?”

  • “Do the size of your breasts alter what size clothes you buy?”

  • “How can you not swim? Don’t breasts float like basketballs?”

  • “Does having breasts ever make you feel you’re wearing your weakness?”

  • “How do you clean so much hair while taking a shower?”

  • “Do things ever fly up your skirt, and what do you do?”

  • “How do lesbians have physical fun time?”

It's definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it's prom time.

What's your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I'd be confirmed of the fact I wasn't the only person caught off-guard, as there is a whole genre of discussion around it. Which one would strike the scariest vibes in you?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

This seems to be something people don't always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that's the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I've lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

It's Autumn in the Southern hemisphere (Spring time in the Northern hemisphere), and I get fascinated by a lamp post near me that some birds have been using as a hand-me-down for a decade now.

So the gist of national debt in my understanding is Nation A asks for aid of some kind from (or commits unintentional damages to) Nation B who later on deems Nation A owes them based on their interpretation of the ordeal, with varying layers of complexity.

Cities do that to each other too, right? Why do we never hear of a town or city urging that another town or city owes them, whether they're both in the same country or not?

And/or better yet, why doesn't national debt default on that kind of small level, where, instead of India saying "you owe us money, Israel", if all the money is coming from New Delhi and going to, say, Jerusalem, the mayor of New Delhi can just say to the mayor of Jerusalem "hey, get your billionaires to pay up"?

I know cities are not as sovereign as countries, but they're still valid units, correct?

Same as it does now, just with slightly less effective money.
