  Why are nasty people so drawn to me?

  I'm very sweet and kind hearted, but I seem to attract many nasty horrible bullies in my life. They put me down and are just very mean. It's unprovoked. I know other people who don't seem to have this problem. Is it just bad luck or something else?

  Oh and before anyone talks about my looks, I know people who are not "conventionally attractive" who have not come across this many cruel people. Any ideas?

  What could be a reason why one would not know about some common-known things?

  I’ve (27F) been dating a guy (24M) for about 5 months now. He’s sweet and kind but I’ve realized he doesn’t know about a lot of things that I thought almost everyone knew about. Usually I’d explain things without shaming him, but in my mind I’m always thinking “....no way he doesn’t know about that”. Here’s a list of some examples:

  - He didn’t know Barbados was a country, let alone a place.

  - He didn't know you had to change your toothbrush every 3 months.

  - He didn’t know there was a North & South Korea

  - He didn’t know about the situation in North Korea (as in, how they hate our guts or about the missile situation, etc. He just knew that Korea was “bad”)

  - He didn’t know who Amanda Bynes, Brittney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and a couple of other popular pop artists are

  - He didn’t know he could stay on his parent’s health insurance until he was 26.

  - He didn’t know that melanin or jibberish are words

  - He didn’t know that “Central America” was a thing, nor the countries in Central America (Panama, Nicaragua, etc) exist

  - He thought there was a difference between NYC and Manhattan (we live in NJ)

  - He didn’t know what a migraine is

  - He didn’t think that Texas was a part of the United States. He thought it was its own country.

  And they’re other minor things too. Sometimes I question his judgment as well, but that’s another story. Is this normal? Btw he did graduate from university, studied Criminal Justice, and is trying to become a police officer.

  What do I do about a rapist who keeps coming to my store?

  I know.  Strange question.  Long story short, there's this guy I know who raped someone I care about.  Needless to say, I hate him and his facilitating whore wife.  

  I work at a farmer's market as a butcher.  Lately, the rapist has been coming into the store.  He came up to my counter once and didn't recognize me because I was wearing a hat and mask.  I was able to get someone else to take care of him on that occasion, but I usually work that department by myself.  It's very possible for me to be put in a position where I have to serve him.  If that happens, I won't know what to do.  If I'm forced to say one word or stay in his vicinity for much longer than 10 seconds, it will not go well.  I'm not a temperamental person, but...  Well, I hope you understand.  Anyway, I'm just seeking advice on what to do and this is just one of the ways I'm going about it.Thank you for your time.

  Are those of you who have managed to grasp the intricacies  of English grammar, equally as capable with mathematics?

  Favourite answer:

  I'm an American, but grew up in Hawaii.  English was my first language, but there were two modes - standard (US) English, and the colloquial pidgin that most people spoke when casual.  I never had interest in the formalities of grammar - diagramming sentences, which was the plural verb, and so forth.  But I could speak and write reasonably well just by emulating what I read in books or heard on TV.  I couldn't explain why it was "brought it to him" rather than "brang it to he," but one of them just sounded right.  Grammar has a lot of rules, and exceptions are no more than narrow rules.  But I think the main point of language is to communicate, and don't mind butchering English or any other language as long as the point gets across.

  I was always good at Mathematics.  There are less exceptions.  But like grammar, I often forget the formalities of why the limit of sin(x)/x is 1 as x goes to 0, but know the right answer.

  Why do people think that serial killers are all white?

  Obviously most western nations are mostly white, so a higher percentage of serial killers will be as well, but even in western countries, there are a lot of minority serial killers/mass murderers that no one has ever heard of? What about the Carr brothers? What about Mark Turner? What about Henry Louis Wallace? Why are they so overlooked?
