What was the conversation surrounding drugs and sex like in your home growing up?
  • I was born in the 80s. Mom was a teacher, Dad worked in IT.

    Both conversations were not especially made out to be a... ok listen carefully we're going to talk about this now. They were not made out to be a big deal, just happened naturally.

    It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn't matter.

  • Unreasonable if not done in time. Paris still has century old sewage pipes running to the river. That could have been solved but it needs years.

  • Death Valley heat melts skin off a man's feet after he lost his flip-flops in the dunes
  • True, I worked with travel insurance for a while in Euorpe. It's still advised to get better coverage ones when going to North America, even several travel insurances, as the top amount in the cheapest ones will not be enough to even open an American hospital door.

  • Why do some YouTube videos start with a short clip from the video itself?

    Not sure if I can explain this well but a lot of YouTube videos nowadays start with a small clip of the video itself. Does anyone know why this trend started? Is it an algorithm strategy?

    Maybe most people like it, but it's It's very off putting for me and I find myself having to skip most intros.
