Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard

0 Upvotes

It seems to me that the whole world is on his side, but he is also an alcoholic with violent tendencies. I watched the video of him pounding back wine, smashing glasses and provoking her. Not saying she's not to blame at all, but why is everyone so pro Johnny when it seems to me their both to blame?

My friend says that a while ago he met some people that predicted his future. He says that they are like some sort of cult or gang? And that they have told him very detailed stories about things that he was going to experience and these things have happened just as they said. He thinks he is no longer in control of his own life and that whatever happens is not actually him making the choices. I have no idea what could possibly explain this. He says that there is no trace of this on the internet because it's a super secret society, or something.

Why do people say that men have so much privilege compared to women even though. Ten divorced men commit suicide a day a rate at least three times higher then that of divorced women (source https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fatherly.com/health-science/psychological-effects-divorce-fathers-men-suicide/amp/), In the spring of 2010, the U.S. Census bureau reported that an estimated 13.7 million parents had custody over children whose other parent lived somewhere else. Of these custodial parents, only one in six were fathers, which is about 17.8%,In 2012, the U.S. Census bureau reported that only 28.8% of custodial fathers received child support either through an agreement or award; while 53.4% of custodial mothers received support (source https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thefirmformen.com/articles/7-shocking-statistics-fathers-rights/amp/). There is also way more facts I can find. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that female's have the best life I'm also not saying that men or women are more superior then the other. I'm all for women and men having equal rights.

How come Henry Viii ate Swans and yet was not loyal to one Partner?

It is said People' are what they eat and it is often observed. You can share your observation about it.

And If it is True, I don't understand why Henry was never faithful to one partner even when he ate Swans (did he even eat Swan)

Music changes after sleeping to it, any ideas on how to fix it?

1 Upvotes

So Iv seen some posts on this matter, even on Reddit, but most of them seem either outdated or locked, so I wanted to ask: has anyone else dealt with this, and if so, how do you fix it? Basically what’s happened is that, over the years Iv made the mistake to try to listen to the same song on repeat while sleeping to help me fall asleep faster, which it working sometimes, but there is a catch: about 90% of the time the morning I wake up the music sounds different, though originally I thought they had changed completely, but after listening to them again to see if they have been fixed in my head, I noticed one key thing: only the background music, the instruments, change, but the singers sound the same. While I can’t remember how the instruments originally sound, I just know they don’t sound right. I looked into it and most answers fell into the idea that the subconscious changes it while you sleep, the two biggest explanations being that it mistakes it as background noise or pays more attention to the song, highlighting the differences when you wake up. While I have found about 4-5 sources that explain this, none really explain how to fix it. One said to just not listen to it and let your mind forget the sound of the song, but I have this one song, the JT machinima baldi rap, that I listen to a year ago while sleeping, and even to this day despite only listening to it about every 2 months to see if it improved, it still sounds altered, so waiting doesn’t seem to always work. So with all that being said, I want to ask: does anyone have anything to help with this? Any info I missed of tips I can use to restore my songs? All info is very much appreciated

Why people seem that think that my decision is stupid?

0 Upvotes

I have talked people about my decision to not be friends with people who have a belly button piercing. I know it is unusual and people have heard about it several times but, there is something I don’t understand about the backlash I have been given. A common phrase is that a belly button piercing “does not affect me” and “doesn’t represent who they are”. This is something I don’t really understand. It is something that does affect me because a person decided to purchasing something that I don’t like. It is not like race, gender, or ability where they were born this way. They had a choice to do this, so they deserved to be judged. Also, avoiding a person doesn’t mean I am hurting them. I never said that I hate them or their piercing. It is a harmless way of restoring what I like.
While I am on that subject, say that I speak with them about our interests, how do you know that the person who I am interacting will support my aversion to belly rings? They already got the ring so it is possible that he or she likes. If I should be friends with belly button piercings wearers, should white supremacists befriend black people? Should flat earthers befriend round earthers? Should Iraqis befriend Americans? Should Apple users befriend Android users? Should women befriend narcissists? Should vegans befriend non vegetarians? Should Christians befriend Atheists? Why even have opposing views in the first place?

Why do some songs randomly become so significant all of a sudden?

1 Upvotes

Since 2021, after I heard a song, for a few months it didn’t mean anything, however during early 2022, it was playing in my mind every now and then. 2022, I hear it again, and this time, a month later and my mind is constantly repeating it over and over again. Soon nearing February this year, and at this point I start attempting to find this song. I eventually did but my mind now is still mostly the same as it was before I found the song. It constantly wants to hear it. How could a random song like this suddenly become so important to me?

I saw that the new Hogwarts Legacy was being played by people so I went to purchase it (in Australia) and saw that it’s not available until July here, yet it got released early February in America. If it’s ready for game play there surely it’s ready to play here?! Same goes for so many other things not just limited to this singular game!

Like I can understand a day or two or maybe a week’s difference but MONTHS?

Make it make sense please!

I’m assuming to limit the volume of potential explosives or flammable liquid a potential terrorist could take on board? Couldn’t they just pour 8 small bottles into an empty water bottle?
