    Bystander Effect?

    I notice this with streetlights too. I almost always wait for the green light before crossing a street, but oftentimes, a small group of people starts walking on a red if they don't see cars close by, then others see that people are walking across the street, so they probably can too, and then...

    Bystander Effect?

    In junior high, whenever a pupil was late to class and knocked on the door, I would spring up and walk over there to open it, even when I was at the other end of the room. Otherwise the rest of the class would stare at each other as no-one could decide who should grant entry. It's definitely...

    Do you still borrow books at the Library?

    For me, the biggest problem when it comes to reading from screens is the backlighting, and non-portability. I also print out scientific papers, which I haven't seen other people in the lab do. However, I'm not wedded to paper books, so Kindle also works fine. Nowadays I definitely read more...

    Embarrassing stories..

    Pooped my pants on a safari with my grandparents, uncle and his girlfriend in the car with me. I was 18. And that's not even my most embarrassing story.

    What would you have done in this situation?

    Realistically speaking, I would have frozen up completely, not in anger or annoyance, but in fear, as I wouldn't know what was appropriate or expected of me. Normally I am very pliant, except when put on the spot. When a beggar tells me to give them money, I also tend to freeze up and continue...

    Stephen King

    I don't watch horror movies, but I've read several of his books, and of them Thinner is my favourite, though the Green Mile is better. I find his books very hit or miss, but most of them have at least one memorable scene.

    I'm in Philadelphia, close to the center. I got a scholarship to do a part of my research in the US. I'm leaving at the end of March. Agree on fiancee sounding better than girlfriend. I've always disliked that term. I can't really distill what I think of the states in one message, but I've had a...

    What about you? Are you feeling alright? Are you still with your girlfriend? I like seeing your posts on the forum. They always seem well considered and don't vacillate, which is something I appreciate.

    Thank you for the nice message. Yeah, I'm doing well on the whole. I temporarily moved to the US a few months back and haven't been as active on the forum since then. My grandfather is terminally ill which is sad, but I've also been more social.

    I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like

    This has been my experience. I'm very trusting, and it often doesn't occur to me that people are being sarcastic or joking even when it's very obvious in hindsight. I especially remember one coworker who is very smart, but every time I would ask an obvious question to get something confirmed...

    Naming objects

    No, I never name things around me. I've owned several bicycles and never even considered naming any of them.

    Old Youtube Videos You Wish You Could Find

    It was a very early Youtube video (2005-2006) my mother shared with me, in which the person taking the video outside with a handheld video recorder is greeting his mother who has her birthday. I think she gets stuck in the car door, then trips and falls, and finally, the son says happy birthday...

    They were two married couples who divorced, but I don't think they married the other partner.

    Halloween 2023

    Not really. If it's expected of me, I do dress up (though that also goes for other times of year), but it's not a hobby of mine, and I dislike having things like paint touch my face due to sensory issues. I'm not interested in horror (and am not a statesian) so halloween has never held any...

    Feeling alone in a sea with seemingly no options

    Maybe I see things differently because I'm asexual, but you can still seek those connections out outside of a relationship. I have a friend who, like you, doesn't really have all that much in common with me and I don't have romantic feelings for her. However, we both really missed the feeling of...

    New study suggests playing video games not linked to physical aggression

    Interestingly enough, I'm the complete opposite. I don't like games where you don't have some sort of a goal to work towards, or an interesting story. Minecraft has never held any appeal to me, nor the numerous "organization" games, like Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program. I'm also a...

    Historical invention blueprints

    Post your old blueprints here. I count anything not detailing something we use everyday as "historical", even if the blueprint itself is only a few decades old. Try to include the name of the inventor as well as the invention if you can. The more bonkers, useless and idiosyncratic of an...

    It's been many years since I last came across anyone I could relate at all.

    Take this for what you will, but I've been following your posts on the forums, and I have felt as if I relate to you. I feel like you tend to think in a sensible and direct way, which is something I can appreciate. I wish you the best, and hope that you can either find someone to have a...
