No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it true that in the US we are a low context culture and In France, they are high context culture? The video I'm going to attach explains the differences.
1·18 days agoThat contrast part where somebody says they’re going to town and they could grab one for you, and then supposedly you’re supposed to say no that’s OK.
I’ve literally never heard that. I’m over 50 years old. I’ve never heard of that statement. If somebody offered to do something nice for you and you can use the item. Why are you saying no? Say thank you. Tell them make sure you grab the receipts that way I can get you the money or give them the money in advance.
I’ve never heard of this concept of oh no that’s OK. Don’t put yourself out. Why are you doing that? What now you have to drive into town and spend your money when they were already in town? This makes no sense. Make sure you pay them and probably toss them a little extra cash for having made the trip and the effort.
Why would you say no? Again I’ve never heard of this concept.
What state do you live in?

I was raised if you offer something to someone and they say no. Then the answer is no. Don’t bug them.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there no instution or person that Trump go after? Or we are all just screwed?
9·1 month agoRealistically only Congress or the Supreme Court can stop him and no they aren’t going to. Beyond that, as others have said it is just standing in the street and yelling. But that won’t stop him.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you or your partner stop doing after the honeymoon phase?
6·1 month agoi mentioned this to another person but I’d suggest watching this video.

i personally think a lot of people experience a slow down in sex because they don’t understand how a sex drive in the opposite gender even really works and sometimes they don’t even understand their own sex drive. she has a ton of videos hopefully you find some of them helpful.
not trying to attack you just wanted to provide a reason why physical intimacy goes down over time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did you or your partner stop doing after the honeymoon phase?
2·1 month agojust a thought, take a look at this ladies video. it’s aimed at both men and women to help figure out why intimacy either isn’t there or has slowed way down.
i highly recommend having your partner also watch that video along with a ton of her other videos. she is really really good.

You can’t. You can talk about it but there is zero ability to make them believe.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm looking for the best free online storage site my files. That is heavily encrypted and respect people's privacy, what would you suggest?
31·2 months agoSo you’re saying use the pixels as ones and zeros, so if I had just for example, a Microsoft Word document, I don’t use Microsoft Word but that’s beside the point, you’re thinking include the document into a video? I don’t know if that’s actually possible but damn, that would be kind of cool. Because I also have pictures and documents. But be cool if you could do that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user?
2·2 months agoThat camera would be facing the wall. It’s about 6 inches from the back of the monitor to the wall. Also I do not want a camera built into my monitor. Just another thing to break. If I need a web cam I’ll go to my closet and get the camera and plug it into the pc usb port.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?
920·2 months agoTechnically, I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. Even if you own a company, you are still doing work. You may not be doing the physical manual labor, but you’re still doing work.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?
41·2 months agoNo.
If you count having a job as even working for yourself and doing the work. Then if you want the money then you are doing a job. Only thing that changes is who you work for

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What popular belief do you disagree with?
72·2 months agoThe popular belief is that prenuptial agreements are bad.
Go talk to a marriage counselor they will tell you the exact opposite. A prenuptial agreement make sure that everybody is on the same page. It makes sure there’s no misunderstandings as to how a marriage should run. It also make sure there’s no misunderstandings of how a divorce should be handled.
Hollywood would make you believe that a prenuptial agreement is wrote by one person it’s actually wrote by two. And technically it’s actually wrote by four. The two people getting married and each one of them have an attorney. So that’s four people that are getting this thing wrote.
It protects you from unknown events in the future. For example, let’s say you and I get married no prenup. Few years later I have a traumatic brain injury and I get a personality change out of it. This can actually happen. Well now I’m a sociopathic asshole. Now it’s all me me me. If there’s been a prenuptial agreement, you are protected. I would’ve made sure that future you was protected from future me.
It also clears up how things should be handled such as if one of us owns a house. Who gets the house is your name going to be on it? What happens to it during a divorce? Everybody has their own opinions on all this shit happen, but very few people will write it down.
We’ll talk about how we think these things should be happening, but we won’t write them down and then years later we claim, but I didn’t really say that or I didn’t mean that.
Here’s the problem. We all have a prenuptial agreement at the moment you get married. The state has wrote it. I can pretty much guarantee you you won’t like the one the state wrote. Write one yourself.
It’s the same way with a will. The state has already wrote you a will I can pretty much guarantee you’re next of kin is going to hate that will.
If you gotta buy a used car, you want everything in writing not just the other person‘s word at it. If you buy a new house you want it wrote down not just the sales person‘s word of what is or is not covered. So why would you have a verbal conversation with your significant other of how a marriage should be run and how divorce should be handled, but not write it down?
In my opinion, you get married you get a prenup. Make sure everybody’s on the same page. If they refuse to write it down, Handle it the exact same way you would handle buying that house. They don’t want to write it down you run.
How many people do you know of who got married then got divorced, and the judge absolutely screwed them over.? With a prenup, you are telling the judge how to handle the divorce. The judge isn’t telling you what happens. Again a prenuptial agreement is wrote by two people. Both people have equal say as to what is in it, both people are equally represented by attorneys. Therefore, nobody can claim one person had control over the other.

In a word, yes
