A failing con artist.

What’s worse - taking diabetes medication that’s somewhat outdated, or taking no diabetes medication at all?

I’m not a doctor, but I bet I know the answer.

“This isn’t worth getting into an argument over.”

Older people vote more.

Perhaps the greatest cop-out of all time.

I don’t like the attitude behind it, but taken by itself, the phrase “all lives splatter” is kinda funny.

Still, you’re a dick if you put this on your car.

They don’t. That’s why I’ve never said it.

I’m so fucking glad I never made a facebook account. Even years ago I saw it as an unnecessary annoyance; I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten since.

White LEDs. Having a light bulb that can last for decades an consume very little electricity is pretty cool.

Why are you turning this into a personal attack? Asking women to smile is not something I do.

That is hysterically arrogant and appallingly nauseating at the same time.

I constantly have to remind myself that I can be perceived as “threatening”, because I’m typically not threatening at all. Having some empathy is a good start, but there’s so much I don’t know about what women deal with on a daily basis.

I’ve never said it to anyone (well, except when taking a group photo). You’re right; it’s weird. I’m just looking for perspectives on why it’s weird.

This is the best answer I’ve seen so far. Thank you!

I don’t have an example because I knew it wasn’t a good thing to do, so I didn’t (and won’t!) do it. I just didn’t know why, but those who have responded have helped explain!

“you don’t look right here let me change you”

That’s pretty fucking rude. I am continually amazed by how much women are expected to tolerate.

I don’t feel that need, and don’t tell people to “smile more” because I don’t understand why it’s problematic. I’m getting a clearer idea, though.

That feels depressingly accurate. Ick.

Good point.

I just removed the dupes, thanks. Fedia was being glitchy.

Plus, you explained your answer well.
