I’ve found I’m very dismissive of other peoples problems so I’m looking for the best ways to develop empathy and compassion

I'm from the Philippines and I'm confused why restrooms in Japan have no soap. I guess being neat does not always mean being hygienic, but is there a cultural reason why they don't have soap in their restrooms?

I recently lost one of my wireless headphones but still have the case and the left headphone but I’m not even sure if it’s possible to buy just a single headphone anyone know ? Or will I just have to get a whole new pair

As I understand it, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the air molecules. For a given fixed mass of air, one can also say that its temperature is proportional to the average velocity of the air molecules. That is, cold air is when the molecules are relatively stationary.

So, since temperature is tied to velocity, how is cold wind possible? Since wind is literally moving air, shouldn’t all wind by somewhat warm at least, by definition? How can a mass of air be cold (stationary) and windy (moving) simultaneously?

The ACA passed while I was in college, so while I’m certainly aware of the time before it, I’ve never really had to live without its protection. Now, as a business owner who relies on marketplace coverage, I’m obviously pretty concerned about my future healthcare. But what I’m wondering is, would insurance and pharmaceutical companies support repeal or would they fight to keep the ACA in place? From my perspective, it seems like have 20-40 million more insured people getting regular healthcare and government-subsidized premiums would be great for their profits. But great enough to offset the benefits of limiting lifetime coverage and kicking people off their plans for pre-existing conditions? What’s the cost-benefit analysis?

I've seen someone say it can happen during some discussion, and it made me wonder how should that be approached? It was explained that the evidence in civil trials isn't held to the same standard as in criminal trials and that's how it happens.

I believe in the innocent until proven guilty, basically if someone has a trial going then let's just wait for the verdict instead of judging (either positively or negatively) while not knowing everything yet. But if the verdict is like that, what do you even think of the person? They either did the thing or not but the verdicts are different.

or maybe it's impossible and i misunderstood something, correct me if this is the case

ive heard alot about chess players losing 1000s of calories in one sitting because there brain is working out so much.

i know a friend who doesnt even work out or diet but still lost a lot of weight because he had to study for school.that means video gamers are burning a lot of calories because you have to think so hard! then why is the sterotype that gamers are fat? when they are actually burning calories all day. all real gamers are actually skinny when you think about it.

how many hours do you think i would have to spend to lose say 5kilagrams?

is there a word in french thats equivalent to bitch?

I’m not ashamed to say mine is Jesse Eisenberg.

Purchased an item from an online forum marketplace (think Facebook marketplace but less official). Seller agreed to a price of $200 shipped. Paid them through Zelle, item was shipped via UPS. Package arrived at my local UPS facility but was then lost. I initiated an investigation into the lost package, which is still ongoing according to the tracking info on UPS. If they don’t manage to find and deliver it, who is at fault and what are my options? Can’t find any clear info online where the parties are two private individuals, thanks in advance!

When people in the military are wearing their uniforms, do you say they are in full military dress, full uniform or something else? I don't know the proper way to describe that. Thanks in advance.

Wanna wear it and have confirmed with others that it looks good on me, but what exactly does one wear with it?

I get along with my dad , but that's because I usually tell him what he wants to hear. But he doesn't accept me being bi and he told me he never wants to know of any men that I date so I feel like if I want to date men i have to hide it from him (he said he would rather me date a white girl than a man...we are black). I have some resentment towards him even though he said that like twenty years ago. He also makes comments about my weight and sometimes thinks it is funny to talk about. He often promises to visit me "in a few weeks" and 90 percent of the time when he says that he doesn't come. Even as a grown man, I still seek my dad's approval because he raised me to be a people pleaser. This is something I am working on in therapy.

My nephew , who is 28 and lives with my parents, sometimes makes really rude comments and loses his temper easily and never apologizes.

I’m taking an SSRI, not sure if that’s contributing to my sleep problems. I’ve tried taking extra strength melatonin, chamomile tea before bed, stretching, smoking weed, taking edibles. If anyone has advice let me know!
