Based on experience with stores in my area currently? Groceries. Incorrect and forgotten items, incorrect prices, wilted produce, nearly thawed frozen foods, swapping significantly more expensive alternatives despite my checking the "do not substitute" option.

"When you are acquainted with a woman..." assumes everyone here is a man. Extending the question to, "women, how do men greet you or how do you greet men" would have solicited a whole new set of perspectives.

And not specifying where they are / what their culture is shows OP also tends to assume everyone has similar background to them too.

Easement corridor for power lines.

The area where there are always open camping sites in that one national park because no one wants to sleep under the high voltage lines and get cancer.

I was up for confirmation, when allegedly the Holy Spirit enters you and you start a more adult phase relationship with God. Post-ceremony, the prep class teacher asked all of us newly confirmed kids if we had felt the holy Spirit enter us. Every single kid but me said yes. It was obvious to me that they were being influenced by each other and the encouragement of the teacher and the specialness of the ceremony. Realizing I didn't want to be carried away by the wave of group fuzzies was the start of my drifting from the church.

And then the firm end to it all was when I left home and got away from the network of religious friends and family I grew up around and really saw how the church treats gay people and women and children.

Well, the sources are satisfying in that they disprove a lot of what you're saying. Venezuela was declined once while most of the time observers were sent. And you were unable to find sources for Russia at all.

I have his stuff in my feed all the time and I don't know why. Never watched it. Never watched pimple poppers or car detailers or pulling the film off new electronics or any of that content designed to give a rush from cleaning some gross or dirty things up.

Tell me why, Algorithm!?!?

Oh, interesting. Is OP actually a bot?

I assumed it was a Russian user spreading misinformation. Maybe the weak grasp on English is an AI thing instead of non-native speaker thing in this case. It got me.

Sure, I would love to see those sources if you find them. Venezuela and Russia, if you would.

"We" meaning the US?

Which country is asking us to send observers and we're saying no?

The Passion of the Christ. I was very confused that people thought it was a good film. And in my specific case, confused about why my school thought it was a good idea to take a bunch of minors to see a very gory R-rated film. That was the most violent movie I had seen up to that point. The whole experience was surreal, and not in a good way.
