Question about "popping your cherry"?
Breaking your hymen can occur under many different circumstances... it doesn't have to be sexual. Some girls break theirs unknowningly - playing sports etc. - there doesn not have to be penetration. But to answer question B. - yes, masturbating with a carrot COULD break the hymen or 'pop your cherry' but I wouldn't recommend that. to answer you first question you won't feel your hymen breaking, it might add to the discomfort but its not a distinct feeling. Because its a thin little membrane it will just tear and be done with. Under rare circumstances a female can have a very thick hymen and as a result have a hard time having sex for the first time and may even have a delayed or non-existant period. In this case, a doctor would tear the hymen for the female so that she could have her period and/or have sex.
What is the best way to respond to 'are you gay/lesbian' if you are still in the closet?
I would twist the question to make it sound like the asker was hoping to ask me out on a date."Why, are you looking for a date and wanted to see if I qualified?""No, and you wouldn't be my type even if I was.""Only if you're a [opposite of the asker's gender].""Is this a pick-up line?""Why, are you interested?""I'm not going with you to your gay club meeting, if that's what you're after.""I don't believe in sexual orientation before marriage."Also, "I need to check with my secretary" and "I'm not sure my religion would allow it".And you can also play the clueless card. "What's "gay"? Men who sleep with men (or the opposite)? What's "sleep"? What's "sex"?" Et cetera ad nauseam.
Should you tell the interviewer that you have heard the question before, or practiced it, no matter how many questions are repeated?
YES. When I interviewed at Uber my hardest technical question was pretty close to an interview question I had before (ironically, with Lyft). I let my interviewer know. He asked me to tackle it nonetheless. I remembered the main idea, but the implementation was quite tricky, so it was still an interesting exercise. Since I solved it quicker than expected, we filled the rest of the interview with other questions which were of an adequate difficulty. Had I not revealed that I knew that kind of problem, at best, I would have had extremely challenging questions after that and probably failed the interview - but more likely, my interviewer would have noted that lack of integrity. Some interviewers ask questions which may be known, specifically to test the attitude of a candidate in such circumstances. If a candidate told me that he knew the problem I was giving them, I would still ask them to describe the solution before changing questions. So saying "I know the question" is not a good trump card if you're stumped.
Is there such a thing as a stupid or a dumb question?
Sure there are. Just look at these:What star sign is most compatible with Leo?Why are Scorpios generally seen as evil?Am I the only one who DOESN'T hate Phantom Menace?Can the Moslem Allah ever become the President of the United States?Why do people like dogs?Why do people believe Darwin?Why do people eat pigs? Don't they find it disgusting? Muslims never eat pork. In fact, they consider pigs to be disgusting, and don't even touch pigs, and neither do a majority of Indians.Are two virgos compatible?What are basic traits of people born on No 8 in numerology?Why do the police take your details?Does the fact that there were survivors refute the holocaust?Who made sexual intercourse with Adele?Why did the world wars take place?I can go on for a pretty long time, but the point being here that there are many questions, of which the questions here on this website are but a subset, that are just plain stupid.Consider this one for example: ‘Why do people eat pigs?’ - you’re extremely narrow-minded if you can’t even comprehend the idea of people wanting to eat pigs. It doesn’t take much imagination to come up with a reason within 10 seconds why people want to eat pig. It’s a stupid question. Not knowing the answer doesn’t make it a good question - that’s wishful illogical thinking, even if you’re in a culture that frowns upon eating pigs.Yes, there are stupid and dumb questions. But they are a product of inexcusable ignorance.
I asked a girl out and she said, sorry but I can't. Is she saying try harder or go away?
No means no. Any variation of the word no, may be a way of her trying to let you down easy, or maybe she’s just trying to be polite. But it’s all the same - anything but a yes, means no.“Maybe another time” = no“Try me again in the new year” = means no, for now at least“I wish I could…” = you got it, means noI know that some responses seem like a “grey area”, but for your sanity, for your ego, and because consent is sexy you should consider anything that is not an overwhelming YES!, to be a no.You will be happier in the long run if the girl you are asking out is as excited to be with you as you are with her.EDIT: I have never said no or given a negative response when I secretly wanted him too. Any girl who does that is not a girl you need in your life, avoid women who play head games.
If you could rewind time to relive your entire life exactly as you already have and without any of your current knowledge, would you do it?
I'm sure this addition will change how a number of people will answer, but consider this: If you've answered "no" to this question, then was your life worth living in the first place? Would it be moral to create new life knowing that it, too, may very well lead a life that it would not want to repeat? 18 out of 21 people said that they would not wish to relive their life the last time I asked this question. What does this say about life, I wonder?
As a hiring manager, what are you supposed to do when someone answers yes to the question "have you ever been convicted of a felony"?
The first thing you do is find out what your companies HR policy on hiring felons is. If it is “not under any circumstances” or “not that particular crime” then you are done.Next, evaluate the severity of the crime and how relevant it is to the position. An accountant with a DUI or a driver with embezzling might be ok, the reverse definitely would not.Then, assess the risk of hiring such a person, as exposing employees and customers to someone you know committed a crime could pose additional liability. Or it could simply be a PR headache you don’t want to deal with, a pedophile might not pose any risk at the office, but the cost of associating with such a person might be more than any value they provide to the company.After that, you look for an upside. Does this person have significantly better qualifications than other candidates? Is a former 5-star chef applying to be your short order cook? Or is someone with similar qualifications willing to accept a much lower salary? It might seem unfair, but if you have other candidates, a felony might have to accept less to make themselves competitive.If you have gotten this far, after consulting with HR and legal, bring them in for an interview. You are allowed to ask whatever you want about the felony, what it was, when it happened, what the punishment was, how long they have been out of prison if relevant, etc. Learn all the relevant facts, but avoid fishing for tawdry details. Understand that explaining how your sordid past to a potential employer is a very difficult task, and how they do it can provide insight into what kind of worker they might be.After that, like any other hire, it comes down to a judgment call.
Is there a correct usage of the comma before "yet" at the end of a sentence?
My friend and I were discussing this, and though it sounds better to leave the comma out (e.g. Have you eaten yet? vs Have you eaten, yet?), I remember I've been taught to use a comma before the "yet." I've already asked this question once, and I didn't get the clarification I needed. To be clear, I'm looking for whether or not the usage of a comma before "yet" is a matter of preference. I'm asking because there is a popular use of a comma before "too" at the end of a sentence, but such usage IS a matter of preference. For example: I was at the skating rink too! I was at the skating rink, too! There is a pause at the second sentence, just for emphasis, but the comma is not necessary. So, my conclusion would be that just as the comma before "too" at the end of a sentence may (or may not) be included, so too may the comma before "yet" at the end of a sentence be included. Thank you!
