lurch (he/him)@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why do some people put a space before a question mark or exclamation point?3·19 hours agoi do this when the word(s) before the punctuation should be easy to copy+paste, like “did you install figlet ?” so they don’t accidentally get the question mark into the copied text

lurch (he/him)@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better?1·1 day agoi didn’t try bamboo yet, but the wood handles of the ones i tried a few years ago, wasn’t as smooth as plastic, especially when wet. this made my lips move with it, making it difficult to keep the foam in the mouth and can hurt.
the bristles were from pigs/boars. they started out hard, but became increasingly soft while brushing. that was a bit annoying, but managable. it’s unfortunate they’re not vegan tho.
in my region i couldn’t yet get bamboo ones with soft bristles, which i need. that’s why i couldn’t try them yet. i saw some labelled “hard” at the store tho. gonna keep an eye on that
lurch (he/him)@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better?4·1 day agothere’s so much that can replace it. tinfoil with or without cardboard, waxed paper or cellophane, wood for throwaway utensils, etc…
i suspect the biggest problem is toothbrushes. the ones made from animal hair and wood are barely usable and we have 8 billion people grinding plastic against their teeth multiple times each day and rinsing the particles out with water. this can’t be good.
lurch (he/him)@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do people confuse your nationality?13·4 days agoppl sometimes ask where i’m from, assuming i’m not native. i use the opportunity to fool them a bit, by pointing in the direction of my birthplace and say “from over there”. they assume i misunderstood and rephrase and i can reveal that i really was born just a few kilometers in that direction. i really enjoy doing that, because i think its absolutely irrelevant and inadequate to ask. foreigners will reveal where they’re from when they’re ready. some ppl didn’t come for fun and being reminded of their origins can trigger bad/sad memories they’re not ready to handle.
lurch (he/him)@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?209·4 days agoI think you should consider your mom is very hurt right now and my be overreacting by pulling you into the fight because of that. However, a cheater isn’t a good role model and neither is the destroyer of marriages. She got that right.
IMO you should suggest a compromise, like staying with him, but berating him and his mistress from time to time and should also be transparent about it, so they know it’s due punishment and a compromise for not leaving him.
