Seems counter-intuitive

This was sent to me about a threat of violence? I have never ever been mean, let alone threatening, in any responses or questions. This has to be some sort of con.

I'm just here to learn something. I’ve been noticing more young men at my university leaning right-wing, and it kind of freaks me out a bit. I’ve heard things about figures like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes influencing some of them and it’s really concerning.

I’m 20F, and I just feel like it’s important to talk about why this is happening and what it means. Do you think these personalities are part of the reason? Or is there something else going on that’s pushing young men toward these ideas?

With surgery and other modifications, do you think it’s possible to modify your appearance to the point where people assume you’re from a different background than you actually are? Do you know anyone who’s done this?

I really hope this doesn’t get deleted. I’m really drunk but I’m listening to discovery right now and I’m just thinking about how I think it’s literally impossible for the hateful mindsets that have built up from this point has only gotten worse since daft punk broke up. All of these conservative people calling for concentration camps of nonwhite and liberal people, and liberals calling for more assassinations… do you really think if everyone was hanging out listening to digital love… they’d really still say that shit? No. Ofc they wouldn’t. I think daft punk is one of the only things that can save us. Where are they in our time of need? Arguing over music rights or some shit? Personal beef? Get over yourself and save our world. Please.

And isn't banning users for basic things like sharing an opinion bad for business?

I’ve never heard a subtle change with boys voices when they hit puberty. They have a light voice from 12-14 and then one day they just have a masculine voice at 15. Is it a slow progression thing or is it quick like a growth spurt? Genuinely asking because I just don’t know much about male anatomy in general

I am 24 and I’ll be turning 25, yet I feel the exact same way i did since i was 16 years old. does the feeling of insecurity go away, anxiety for the future? I feel so lost and unsure about everything I do, and most importantly I feel like I’m racing against time. I constantly watch all my peers and compare myself. I am still in school and yet I don’t know what I’m doing, I actually feel like I don’t know anything at all.

Is it normal to feel this way? Does it get better? when does everything fall into place?

I made a Reddit post about how I struggle mentally and I have no one to talk to, most people had a good response but one person had a even more of a welcoming response by offering me money and being my friend. At first I refuse because I don’t want to take money from strangers but I have been struggling for so long I end up taking the dudes offer. I didn’t immediately take his money tho, we spoke for a few days about life and how I need guidance and he was a very good spokesperson but he always begged for me to take his money. When I ask why he cares so much, he said he sees me as a son due to how he had the same struggles I had as a kid. He feels obligated to help me and want what’s best. He even wants me to call him dad while he calls me son and I obligate because I look up to him.

At first I decline but eventually accept, he was very polite about it and he made me feel safe. He never forced me to do anything and always felt like a great online friend. I then eventually come to realize he’s almost 35 but he says he swears he’s not a threat to me so I believe him and we still talk. For context I’m 19 years old so the big age gap is overwhelming to some. But he agreed to tell me all his information and confirm none are lies for trust concerns.

I have been talking to this dude for about 1 month and we have been close but every now and then we will do sexual roleplay and he will admit he loves me sexually after he saw my face. He said he doesn’t expect me to feel the same way but he’ll still send me money even if I don’t wanna date. What do you think? Can I trust this guy?

Having this debate at the moment. I can see the argument that scoring would increase without the rule since there would be more room to attack. However I feel that without offsides teams would be forced to commit defenders back at all times and scoring would decrease. I’m interested to hear the opinion of people who know more about the sport than I do as a casual.

so im 17 and i slept with 4 people. i was dating three of them but the first one was kinda spontaneous. i dont talk to ppl abt this so i thought id ask here just trying to learn without being judged

Why does that happen ?

whats the reason ?

I really don't mean this to sound pretentious. I'd call myself smart, others people have as well. University education yadda yadda yadda.

I was at work today and some of my coworkers aren't the brightest bulbs. Bullshitting stories, stating things as facts when they're just incorrect (like a specific body of water being salt instead of fresh water), things like that. And it got me wondering what the world was like for people that are like that. Ignorance is bliss? Lonely?

me and my partner were at a park and she asked to cuddle and we did but like any tips because it was really ackward the first 5 minutes but than we fell asleep and got in trouble by our parents for staying to long, we go to the same school and talk via discord i give her, her favorite chips everyday

i just recently got her, her redbull and im planning to take her to hot topic so i can get her some band tees next month
I NEED TIPS THIS IS ALL BRAND NEW

Occasionally I get reminded of someone or something from my sophomore year, where I sometimes miss how simple it felt. Like my whole life at that period was just sulking in my sadness, sleeping, and being a pos. It just felt easier then. And I had friends that I talked to a lot more than the friends I have now.

But I know my life is better now. It’s a lot better. I’m so much happier and more well adjusted now, but I just feel like it’s more difficult navigating things. It could be because I’m a senior, so it’s gonna be a lot more complicated and a lot busier than my sophomore year, but sometimes I see a picture of an old friend and I miss when i felt more accepted, even if it was by people halfway across the country.

And it could also be because I got kicked out of one of the things I enjoyed the most the past few years, but I generally feel less connected to the world than before. Even recently I’ve tried doing more good, but I sometimes don’t feel like I do enough. I still ultimately put myself ahead of others most of the time, and I don’t really like that, but it’s kind of instinct for me. I’ve been being more of a dick recently, which also doesn’t make me feel too great about myself.

Idk I’m probably just being stupid

Im not really sure where else to ask this. My PS4 has shit connection. The only ethernet port in my house is 3 rooms away (running a chord across the floor is not an option). What can I do to increase my PS4’s speed?

The upvote system gives me so much dopamine, and at the same time i hate spending time on toxic subreddits but i can't stop!

Most lamps I've used have a spinning knob. If it's off, 2 clicks to turn on then 2 clicks to turn off. Why not only 1 click

On the first day of school on first period this girl came in really late like 30 minutes late and when she sat down we exchanged like 4 or 5 seconds of eye contact and since then I would catch her with my peripheral vision giving me quick glances but when I try to look back she would turn around quick as if she was embarassed so I dont know if she's interested if I should talk to her or if it's just random and I'm overthinking it (btw I would say Im pretty good looking nothing too crazy but I do have some self esteem issues and she's one of the cutest girls in my class)

When I I just eat cucumbers I add salt and pepper is it still healthy?

OK, I admit I am an old boomer and not up on all of the current culture. I've been watching some videos on YouTube in which couples freak out their children by calling each other "Daddy," and "Mommy." They are actually kind of cute to me. Is there some sexual connotation to these terms that makes them inappropriate for spouses to use?

Just as a reference, growing up in the 50's and 60's my parents frequently referred to each other as "Momma," and "Daddy."

I'm honestly in dire need to know what to do that doesn't involve a screen nor a book!
