  • Oh, interesting; that wasn’t my experience at all. There were popular/preppy girls that played sports, but there was a separate type of girl that played multiple sports and made it, like, part of their identity like the guys did. Didn’t really have a name for them, though.

    I guess “jock” would work for a girl/woman, but if you said “I hooked up with a jock last night,” everyone would assume you meant a guy. So it’s not really a gender neutral term.








  • To actually address the question, it’s because commercial buildings don’t (generally) meet residential building code requirements, even if there’s a kitchenette and a shower, etc. They are simply not meant for the same purpose or to be occupied 24/7 unless they were engineered that way from the start, which is exceedingly rare. A lot of office buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows and complex HVAC systems simply to make sure people aren’t cold, breathing stale air, or too humid/dry, so they also use a lot of energy.








  • Can you say why Iranians dislike Arabs or why they support USA/Israel, and why Khamenei supports Palestine and not USA/Israel? I’m trying to understand why this difference exists. I really am not educated at all on this part of the world (that’s my ignorance, but I am curious about your experiences).

    Is it really as simple as racism or are there socioeconomic concerns? For example, many people in my country (Canada) hate immigrants because it’s difficult to find a good-paying job or an affordable apartment due to suppressed wages, lack of domestic manufacturing, and a very bad housing crisis. It’s easier to just blame immigrants for coming here than to convince the government to help us more directly.
