What is with all these smart *** answers nowadays? People actually want to know what the show, movie or song is.?
It's like people don't really care and a lot of these songs, shows, or movies actually sound pretty interesting. I recently asked a question about lyrics to a song that granted I actually can't stand, but I am legitimately curious about what it's called. I don't want 6 random answers with random letters like rqgauwioo, that's just immature and dumb
What is with all the red doors in the UK?
Red paint was one of the most expensive in the global trade and with a Turkish monopoly on it. Displaying crimson garments, carpets and furniture was displaying power in Europe. The Ottoman red paint guild kept the process a national secret for centuries. Their industry gave its colour to Turkish flag, fez and carpets.Also a royal symbol in England, rich from wool trade and special trade relations with Turkey, the government could afford. British soldiers had parts of bright red on their uniforms to display the mighty power and wealth of the crown.In the middle of the 19th Century first the French and then the others have found synthetic ways in the lab of producing bright red paint equalling the natural processes used by Turkish guilds. That robbed the Ottoman Empire from its yet another important income.With abundance and affordability of this once display of power strong bright red entered in everyday life starting from painting all government property red like possessed people.That may be one reason doors were also painted in red. But once the public forgot how expensive and prestigious red paint was before the 19th Century it only continued in government traditions of public services in the form of post and phone boxes and double decker omnibuses.Doors might have continued to be painted in red sometime longer even though why they were painted in red during the Victorean era is a thing of the past. But now it may seem like an unhealthy declaration of fanatical traditionalism.Nowadays most doors are not made of wood but plastic or with plastic coating and white is the standard colour of plastic just as the double glazed window frames. Some prefer wood look.

With all this talk of toxic masculinity, I wanna ask; What is masculinity?
I’ll expand a bit on Chad Farwell’s spot-on answer.Masculinity is a construct. It’s the expectation that boys will grow into a predetermined set of images and identities.In short, they’ll play sports, fuck women and be productive breadwinners.The issue with this is that it leaves very little room for deviation. If a boy chooses a path that’s less conventional, for example, to study theatre, their masculinity and manhood are potentially called into question.Furthermore, if enough people step outside the normative lines of masculinity, it challenges the status quo and the interconnected lives that subscribe to it. Gillette’s recent advertisement is a great example of this:“When Gillette changes its iconic slogan “The Best a Man Can Get” into a question, it throws a wrench into the core values of its product, values that their consumers have subscribed to for over 30 years.”It invalidates the path, whichever side you’re on.We need to uproot the conventional wisdom surrounding masculinity and rewrite the definition of it. The current term closes the doors to emotion and compassion. It breeds contempt for change and growth and serves as an impossible measuring tool for self-worth. It’s archaic.We can do much better for ourselves and for our children.Andrew is a freelance writer/ journalist.

What is with all these celebrities having genius level IQs?
I'm getting my information from this website:24 Celebs With the Highest IQ'sI believe that someone like James Woods probably does have an I.Q. above 140. I don't think that someone like Shakira has an I.Q. above 120.It is rumored that Sharon Stone has an I.Q. of over 140, but I highly doubt it. One may watch films and observe the acting, or listen to song lyrics and make a reasonable assessment concerning intelligence.Here are my estimates for celebrities mentioned in the article:Natalie Portman—121Arnold Schwarzenegger—108Madonna—104Geena Davis—105Steve Martin—100Nolan Gould—131Quentin Tarantino—115James Franco—107Cindy Crawford—103Kate Beckinsale—121Ke$ha—117David Duchovny—112Aisha Tyler—125Dolph Lundgren—111Conan O’Brien—122Tommy Lee Jones—114Alicia Keys—112Rowan Atkinson—132Lisa Kudrow—104Ashton Kutcher—103Nicole Kidman—114I feel that I have pretty good intuition when it comes to estimating the I.Q. scores of others. My estimates are based upon a standard deviation of 15. If scientific evidence is provided that contradicts my estimations, I will modify my answer.
