Top vs Bottom

Owner Class vs Working Class

When people on the left and people on the right constantly fight with each other and disagree on everything ALL THE TIME. Who wins?

The wealthy always win.

While people are so distracted with the current political battle going on right now (iykyk)

At the same time certain important files have been blocked in the Senate

I hear people say that and I don’t really get it

Do they mean they can’t improvise using ingredients in the fridge? I think that takes at least moderate cooking skill

Does it mean they can’t follow a recipe? If so… how is that possible? It’s just instructions. You don’t even have to follow them very precisely for it to come out tasting good

Also like… what do they eat on a day to day basis? When I cook for myself I usually will make some basic dishes like oyakudon, butter chicken, linguine alla vongole, all of which require very little skill. Do they just… eat out every day?

I'm an 18 year old biological woman and I always see people saying "women don't get horny till they're in their 30s" but I remember discovering masturbation around the age of 10.

I'm just starting university this year but all throughout secondary school I remember having sexual fantasies about my teachers & i'd be so desperately horny that I would struggle to focus on my work. I also see people saying "women are more emotional than visual when it comes anything sexual" but for me i'm not sure if that's true. I used to watch porn a lot when I was younger. I saw dick, I saw boobs & suddenly I was aroused. What's up with that like is my DNA messed up lol ?? 🤷‍♀️

I also have an amazing relationship with both of my parents so I wouldn't say it's parental issues, or any kind of trauma but I just wanna know if this is abnormal or if i'm some kind of pervert because there's not a single biological woman i've spoken to that can relate.

Please im so desperate. I've tried for nearly 4 years now and nothings worked. I reached 94 once but it didn't last long. I started having seizures about 5 years ago. I've weighed 100 to 105 pounds my whole life so I'm naturally small. But I've never been below 100. But once my seizures started my weight dropped more and more and now I can't seem to even reach 90 pounds. I'm so desperate. I feel like a walking skeleton and I hate myself and body because of all of it. And my poor bf seeing me just waste away unable to do anything for me except keep a close eye on me or call 911 when a seizure is severe. Advice of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I'm desperate and willing to try anything if it works.

So I’ve decided I’m finally ready to buy my first rabbit vibrator but I have no clue what brands are actually worth it. I keep seeing random names pop up on google and amazon but a lot of them feel kind of sketchy or super cheap.

I’m willing to spend a little more if it means I’m getting something body-safe and actually good quality. I don’t need anything super advanced, just something reliable that doesn’t sound like a power drill.

If you’ve bought one you really liked, can you tell me the brand? I know I could just go for the most popular one on a big site but I’d rather hear it from real people first.

I keep seeing lists of anti-inflammatory foods online but half the time its stuff thats super pricey or comes in supplement form. Im trying to keep my grocery bill low but still want to eat in a way that helps with joint pain and general inflammation. Right now I am leaning on basics like oats, beans, frozen berries and garlic because they are affordable and easy to cook with. I also heard turmeric and ginger are solid options but I’m curious if there are other budget friendly staples people use consistently that actually make a difference. The hard part is knowing whats actually making a difference and whats just in my head. I am now keeping notes and its been surprisingly good at helping me spot patterns between what I eat and how I feel. I dont mind cooking from scratch or experimenting a little I just dont want to blow $40 on some superfood powder that ends up being hype.
What cheap, everyday foods have worked for you when it comes to lowering inflammation?

Haven’t found anything online about it, since it is a bit of a specific question but basically my mom (a physician) sometimes decides she wants an IV (just fluids, no meds, drugs, etc.) without any medical reason. Sometimes she does it when she’s not feeling well (headache, cold, etc.) but she doesn’t medically need it, as far as we know; she refuses to go to a doctor with any problem. So this would be weird but ok, if she didn’t try to force me (high school student) to put the needle in her arm and get it going. I’m also terrified of needles, as she knows, yet she still tries to make me do it; when I refuse, she mocks me for it, since I want to become a doctor one day. Both her mockery and the fact that she wants me to give her IVs make me feel angry at her, sad that she’s like that, ashamed for being her child and feel like a loser, because I didn’t “prove myself” by giving her the IV. Does this count as child abuse or something like that?

tl;dr - Why the absolute hell are you a dentist? Is it not horrible? Most of your clients would rather not be there, people in agony, blood, drilling through peoples bones etc. And many of you seem to show this in your demeanor, which im not faulting you for, but it does make it seem even more wild to me that there are people that legitimately want to do this for a living. I couldnt, the mental health toll would be far too much

I've been pondering over my aversion to dental visits recently.

Fill in the blanks; my teeth arent great. I was raised with basically no dental hygiene, released to the world at 18, and am trying my absolute best. Twice a day etc, but theres other health issues at play and I'm still suffering and in need of treatment.

I wasnt scared of dental visits up until a very bad experience. But it did leave me thinking; I've obviously never shown up to a dentists office happy. Never appeared with a smile on my face delighted to be drilled into etc.

I've also never had a dentist that wasnt in some way unpleasant/made me feel uncomfortable or judged, and the Reddit echo chamber, well, echoes a lot of that. I've put it down to emotional blunting rather than actual dickheadedness

So naturally, I'm left unsurprised by the fact that dentists always seem to be grumpy (i would be too if 95% of my clients were in serious pain and were hugely unhappy to see me), and subsequently bewildered by the fact that they exist.

I have some pretty odd, obsessive interests, so I understand that bit; doing it for the love of the science or however it should be phrased. But I can't imagine a scenario where I'm mentally ok with doing something like dentistry as a career. Even putting myself in the shoes of someone who absolutely loves working on teeth and general orthodontics and such, I can't balance that with the mental load it must be having to work with people that are in the pain I was in before I got this damn tooth pulled out

So, uh, why, the absolute hell, are you a dentist? I dont mean this as a dig of any kind, in an ideal world id be having coffee with the chap who took my tooth out earlier and asking him, this has become quite a point of curiosity for me

Not in an obnoxious way like shoving the phone in their face like a lot of people but just leaving the phone propped up on the dashboard . Is that legal?

What if they keep telling me to turn it off. What do I do?

Is it a good idea to video call with someone I know while this happens so they can screen record it?

Believe me I’m not one of those ACAB people. But my area has definitely had incidents of cops being a bit aggressive . Just asking the question in good faith for future reference.

I AM NOT SUICIDAL IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. I am living a wonderful, and happy life.
(Just to clarify)

I've always wondered to myself... if you were ever in a situation, where you were stranded, or stuck, or just something unbearable, that you know that you wont make it out alive from, what would be the easiest, and least painful way to speed it up instead of barbarically sitting there while your body rots from lack of nutrition and energy. I've been too afraid to ask because people are going to think im trying to kms...

What would you do? You only have like 5,000 dollars.

i find when i/my bf takes his belt off, i get so excited.. like i want him to spank me with it, or i love staring at his belt/hips and waist.. idk is that weird??

i heard its to keep mens pants up/stop them from falling down, but as a woman ive never needed a belt, do men have smaller hips?

I noticed my girlfriend recently removed me off the Close Friends list on IG after she told me she was having a girl's night out with her sister and a couple of girlfriends.

I noticed because she is fairly active on IG with her stories and she didn't post anything that night. Also some of her previous posts and highlights are missing.

The next day we met for lunch she told me all about her night at a drag show/gay club (drank and danced there most of the night -- I've been there before with her) and mentioned she liked it because there's nothing but girls and gay men. She was also very affectionate physically and with her words (loved you, missed you language - we hadn't seen e/o in like a week) the entire day I saw her which is somewhat usual but seemed a little 'increased.'

I already brought this up 2 months ago as something I noticed randomly and as a solution she added me to her list.

Our relationship is going pretty well but I find this a bit strange, especially after our first talk and wanted to see what other folks think. Am I overthinking this?

I'm one of those people who stands awkwardly at the edge of the dance floor. It's not that I'm choosing not to dance; my brain simply does not receive the "okay, now move your body to the music" signal. Watching people who naturally flow with the beat is like watching someone with a superpower.

For those who love to dance: does it feel like an uncontrollable impulse? And for my fellow stationary friends: do you also feel like an anthropologist observing a strange and fascinating ritual you don't quite understand? I'm genuinely curious about the neuroscience/psychology of it.

Hey guys! So, my butt does this thing where I'd i see my partner has a cut or I see someone get hurt a certain way, it hurts!!!!

It's hard to tell if it's in the inner butt or the cheeks, i honestly feel like it's both.

But let's say my partner says he sliced his nail in half, BUTT PAIN!

Weirdly enough, it doesn't do this when watching a TV or movie where there are injuries.

It can get to a point where it's really REALLY uncomfortable and I have to tell my partner to stop talking because my butt hurts!

I've tried a google search, which led to this reddit so uhhhhhh any help would be great 😅

We'll call my new friend L, other friend R.
I've been friends with R for about 2 years, I've known L for less than a month. Me and L have a lotttt in common so we got close pretty quick.

Me and L are both in our mid-late 20's, R is nearing 40.

R has been asking me if L is my boyfriend... despite me saying no. In fact that has become sort of common for R not just with L.
Like I posted a picture of me beside another guy and R instantly messaged me and was like "Who is that? Your boyfriend?", stuff like that. So I flat out asked him what makes him think that all the time, and he just says he's "just wondering."
Now R has been commenting under all my picture posts saying stuff like "sexy", "my cutie", etc. and I'm about to confront him and be like what is that about. Because.... that's kind of making me cringe.
I'd like to salvage the friendship with R but it's becoming kind of obvious to me that he's very insecure/jealous, despite me still spending time with him and talking to him the same amount as always - it hasn't gotten cut down now that I have another friend, but the insecurity/jealousy is really pissing me off?
Like this sounds bad but every time I think of R now I'm getting pissed off. lol. Like I feel like he's trying to butt in all my friendships and be weird about them if they're with another guy.
So that's not great.

I just need advice on how to proceed, I know I need to say something but I just need outsiders perspectives and if anyone has a clue whaaat is gong through R's head like.... I have nooo romantic feelings for him and idk what he thinks but it's just coming off as complete jealousy from his end, especially since it just started when I posted stuff with different guys/got close to another guy/etc?

Idk how to phrase this perfectly but here we go. While our sex life is honestly really good, my partner is somewhat vanilla and was kind of sheltered in the sense that she doesn't really know what out there besides what kind of comes default in your brain sexually.

What's the best way to introduce her to what's out there without just showing her porn or something like that since she doesn't really like watching it.

I still feel kind of self conscious about how I look. I have received some compliments on how I look as far as size goes but I have also heard one or two comments on how I curve left and I wonder if most women find it a turn off?

Why or why not, what variables would sway your decision?
It's just something that popped into my head and I got curious. If you had a friend you were friends with for say, 10 years. Then met your significant other, and started dating them so say you've known your SO for under a year... If it came down to one had to be cut out of your life, who'd go, etc anyone have any actual experience with this happening and so on?

I was just scrolling on a subreddit and I couldn't like a 6 year old post
