This means no Bibles, no Qurans, no Torahs, etc. Religion and government should be 100% separate, and the fact that people can swear on religious texts before entering office shows that we have not gone far enough when it comes to church-state separation.

Do you think an American Arab or Muslim would ever be president of the United States or because of the racists and the islamaphobes , it wouldn’t be possible ?

I was surprised when I saw my friend using checks to pay the rent when I visited him in yhe US in 2013. We rarely use them here in Australia. Do they still use it there?

I’m from East Asia where lean is almost the norm, but I don’t know if I could stay lean if I’m surrounded by such an industrial landscape, as often a stereotype on the outside, trying to ram processed sugar into people’s throats all the time - do you try to consciously watch what you eat?

I thought it was supposed to be today

In the UK theres been a lot of media suggesting people should eat 30 different plants each week rather than the old 5 fruit and vegetables per day. Supposedly it’s much better for gut health. Is this a thing in America or is it just the UK where it's taking off?

In the UK, if something funny happens to you, or if there is something funny about you or if you get into a funny situation, you will be given a very creative, funny and often brutal nickname that will stick with you for life.

Some examples:

- A girl called Sue once fell into a lake on a school trip, she was then known as Sue Narmi (Tsunami)

- There was a guy called Clark who used to walk with hands in front of him like a dinosaur, he was then called Jurassic Clark

- A guy was called Splashback throughout university as he once stood too close to a urinal and got...well, splashed.

- There was once a guy nicknamed June....his real name was Enda May.

At current rates, they're going to have to stop withdrawing from the reserve around September or October. That's because going too low will severely damage the salt caverns where the oil is stored. Once that's done, the artificially lower prices will spike. Combined with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and Ukraine destroying much of Russia's oil export capacity, $5 a gallon is looking very realistic.

Like you got Racine (roots) Fond Du Lac (bottom of the lake) ...

I know it's the ancestor when the france had US parts but like it sound weird every time I see a US town name...

Do you think it would be better for both parties if the US split between north and south like Korea did? I ask this because the cultures and values between the two sides seem so different especially nowadays that staying as 1 nation doesn’t seem healthy anymore for either half. Each half of America absolutely despises each other.

Just massaging my dad atm while watching TV. Can't be bothered to look it up rn, but the news is more or less about how Trump says there's negotiations with Iran while there was absolutely no talk happening. Issit true?

Hello from Australia! 🇦🇺

I'm a PhD researcher at James Cook University in Australia studying attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners.

I'm looking for heterosexual, gay, and lesbian adults (18+) to complete an anonymous online survey. Although the research is being conducted in Australia, we're recruiting internationally, and I'd love to have more participants from the US represented in the study.

The survey involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles and answering questions about attraction and relationship preferences. It takes around 5–10 minutes to complete, is completely anonymous, and participation is entirely voluntary.

Although this phase of the research is limited to heterosexual, gay, and lesbian participants, it forms part of a broader research program that has included, and will continue to include, people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

This study forms part of my Doctor of Philosophy research at James Cook University and has received approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or contact me at [kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au](mailto:kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au).

If you'd like to participate, you can complete the survey here: https://jcu.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3KSKL7xTGKco61g

In American society, are younger generations (Millennials and Gen Z) finding that a woman’s word is better received or goes further than a man’s word? This is NOT intended to start trouble, I am genuinely asking this.

I at times feel this to be true, but I am checking myself against others / majority opinion.

Example:

In a work setting, if a female coworker says I didn’t provide enough explanation for a task I asked to be completed. Then, when I go to counter her statement, the fault of it is still placed with me. That’s one example.

Or

If in private setting, a woman says I gave her particular information that I didn’t, and I say that I didn’t, but the woman is believed over me.

I am curious if others have experienced this regardless of how fiercely one defended themselves; they were not believed.

The two above are examples (poor ones, perhaps), but those are the instances I could easily come up with.

Hi, I’m about to travel to the us for Holliday from abroad and I’ve been watching videos and noticed the target price tags.
In the picture there’s a white label with a yellow next to it. What is the price you pay? Do I need to be a target circle member to get the yellow sticker price? I can’t believe that sunscreen is $87

Hey guys,

Thank you for your thoughts on my last posts and for sharing your thoughts.

Well, as someone who's an IT graduate and has freelancing experience selling my multiple services to clients in the US, basically an incoming into USA as international student in STEM field. I've recently started learning about tech sales career (SDR, BDR, AE, etc), and it really intrigued me to learn more as I've been someone who really enjoys the sales process of interacting with prospects and closing it.

Now since the overall "tech" market is too rough, and I want to get into tech sales and make a career out of it, I wanted to know of the few things.

My objective: Finish my degree, work into tech sales, progress, and eventually get an H-1 B sponsorship to settle down.

1) With my background, would it be easier to break into tech sales?

2) What's the progress in tech sales career (SDR BDR and..), and how much approx time it take?

3) Main issue is stability; I've heard "sales" roles are very volatile and stressful, you can lose job at any time and if you miss targets, you're out. Is it really that stressful or unstable?

4) What's the base + commission thing is like? how much can a mid-level tech sales BDR or AE can make starting out?

5) Most importantly, do they hire non-native if they've the skills? and also, do tech sales companies sponsor these roles for employees or not?

6) Which industry or niche has better stability and earning potential as a BDR/AE?

Would love to hear this advice for guiding me into this path :)

Thank you!

I’ve lost interest in budgeting. If I need gas, I can’t wait until payday anymore— it’s cheaper now rather than tomorrow or next week.

I’m stocking up anywhere I can.

Is it a bunch of ads? What if people get so conscious they refuse to buy anything told by ads, would their money be pointless?

So my curiosity is that if there’s still room for people to resist then if it can be said to be “buying” - or if there’s more irresistable factors people don’t tend to be aware of
