So I find it to actually be a really helpful “barometer” of language skill. When I’m in France, if I go in a store and conduct s full conversation in French, I know my accent, word choice, and general language skill is good. If halfway through the exchange we switch to English, I know I either made an egregious language error or I started sounding like an American. If the conversation switched to English right away, I either made a critical language mistake OR I just happened across a very competent English speaker.

I’m honestly not much of a belt buckle guy so it probably wouldn’t get as much use.

- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 1 week ago:
I’ve been trying to play it on switch and it’s basically impossible with 2 sticks. Also it’s really jarring after a few hundred hours in breath of the wild.

Just fill it with water. People love indoor pools.
- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 1 week ago:
I roughed it like that in college with a book and a hookah, but a little bigger is a lot better to me if you’re average height or taller. Otherwise it’s tough to get knees and nipples in the water at the same time.

It’s not the same it is way better.
Not the shower/tub combo bath, those kinda suck, but a jacuzzi or soaking tub with a book is excellent.
- Comment on YSK About Resilience Targeting 1 week ago:
A great article the author didn’t even proofread.
Remember your tarot cards to help you deal with “CyThe cynicism” you develop when you get bogged down, the same way you do all that doomsday prep!
I’m not saying there isn’t some potentially good stuff in here, but this article is clickbait publishing for its own sake.
- Comment on Slice radishes, toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and seasoning, and air fry at 380°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway 1 week ago:
It’s too hard to get the bits of radish out of the strings at the top of the fret board for me.
- Comment on Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic. 2 weeks ago:
And yet still in no way equivalent to a dick pic. Equivalence here is “raspberriesareyummy doesnt like that” which doesn’t exactly meet muster, even for a shower thought.

- Comment on Information based on lived experience is far less valued than a quick Google answer. 2 weeks ago:
There is value in talking to people, but that has nothing to do with a question or situation you might Google or look up in a book. These are fundamentally different things.
Subjective information is inherently less valuable than objective information for trying to learn something unless you are writing a survey paper. If you want to have a chat to combat loneliness or try to better understand your grandmother you’re not answering a question so you wouldn’t look it up anyway. If you’re googling what it feels like to make a roux you are probably not neurotypical.
- Comment on Information based on lived experience is far less valued than a quick Google answer. 2 weeks ago:
No?
If there’s no objective, correct answer to a question then the point is moot. If you’re getting something out of some individual’s subjective answer it’s based on the want to build a relationship or gain understanding of that person which inherently has nothing to do with the question itself.
That’s fine and all, but not really what I understand your original question to be asking. People have experiences, and those experiences are theirs: they can’t give them to you. If you like hearing about it anyway, cool, but you might as well read a poem.
- Comment on Information based on lived experience is far less valued than a quick Google answer. 2 weeks ago:
You’re describing qualia which are necessarily subjective. These accounts are not helpful whether you get them from Google or anywhere else.
Anecdotes may be interesting, but on the whole they are not as useful as objective answers.

It’s tough to get the 3rd t.
I was once at a kids birthday party and they couldn’t get the piñata broken so I shot it open and everyone clapped then the kids took the candy and all the moms put out and I found a crisp $50 bill in the couch.
You don’t get moments like that without a lady derringer in your fanny pack, friendo.

It’s 2026. This discussion is no longer gendered, though it is still somewhat equipment dependent.

There are definitely pieces of jewelry that are worth that price tag.
That said, if you would like to by a crushed moissanite and tin love bracelet for that special someone, you should do it. A romantic dinner of two foodlike beef and cheddar max sandwiches, and a night of peaky blinders is a fine way to bond.
I would say if you’re spending more than like 15k you’re crazy, but 5k is not insane money.
