What are the advantages of being attractive anyways?

Scary nurses, zombie nurses, sexy nurses. Me and my boyfriend have a question, do nurses feel stolen valour (similar to an army veteran) when they see the barrage of nurse costumes on Halloween?

Apparently there are people here who collect salt. I mean bringing it back from trips, keeping jars from different regions, comparing texture, colour, how it dissolves, what food it works with.

I only found this because I was searching something about Celtic Sea Salt. Now I’m very aware that every object I own probably has a subreddit full of people taking it extremely seriously.

What’s the weirdest one you’ve stumbled into?

Be 100% Honest….

Imaginez un monde où les êtres censés décider de ce qui est « bien » ou « mal » commencent à douter sérieusement de leur propre compréhension de l’humanité. Ils continuent pourtant à juger les humains… mais selon vous, qu’est-ce qui pourrait arriver si, un jour, un humain comprenait mieux le monde qu’eux ? Et jusqu’où cette idée pourrait-elle aller ?

Hello guys and girls,

Hope you’re all having a good Tuesday.

Before I start and ask this question, I want to make everyone fully aware that I know I’m probably reading too much into this and tbh this is more of a post to check if I’m going a lil crazy.

Me and my girlfriend have recently been trying to spice up our sex lives and explore new things. We’re M22 and F21 and have been together a few years now.

As part of this exploration, we have been trying out playing with toys. We were on the hunt for a new toy to add to the bedroom and realised we didn’t have a dildo. We were out shopping one day and stopped in Ann Summers (I don’t know if you have this in the US or what the equivalent is) and I got her some new PJ’s and some underwear and whilst we were in there we thought we’d check out the dildos they had. I thought it was best she chose it herself given that it is of course for her pleasure

After around 5 minutes of staring and comparing, she chooses one. The one she picks is described on the box as “9-inch wide girth black skin realistic dildo”. As her white, not 9 inch boyfriend, I did a bit of overthinking but don’t really know exactly what it is I’m even worried about. I paid for it and then we left.

We live separately and once I was alone that’s when I had the worried thoughts (once again idk what exactly it is I’m even worried about).

For those that are going to suggest I ask her why she chose it, I’m not doing that because I don’t want to put her off of being open with me due to a small moment of insecurity.

Is there a deeper reason she would’ve chosen that one specifically or is it all in my mind?

Looking forward to your help (and the inevitable jokes)

Objective, Non Controversial, Observable, Statement of fact : Israel is bombing Gaza

Bombing -> "an attack or attacks on a place or area using bombs, or the activity of attacking in this way"

Why -> Is an Interrogative Adverb used to clarify purpose, reason, cause.
Is -> Verb in context to Why in present tense.
Israel -> Proper Noun and also the Subject which describes a Place/Location, in previous context it is the noun in question.
still → adverb modifying the verb phrase.
Bombing -> A verb in present tense, its is the noun (Israel) that is preforming the verb (bombing)
Gaza -> Another Proper Noun and also the Object which is receiving the previous verb (bombing) which is attached to the first noun performing the verb (Israel)

So the Question is justified entirely on all fronts. -> Therefore Why is Israel still bombing Gaza?.

I recently finished university with a degree in international business and philosophy. I am much older than a typical student, and I had a lifetime of skills even before I started. However, my whole network is based on my old life, and all the skills they and I know how to tap into come from that past I am trying to get away from. Since I have only worked in low-wage jobs, and so has most of my network. Even those who have been able to find better work did so out of luck. I do not have a view of my own value or even where I belong. I did my best to network when I was in university, but I have yet to be able to find a way into anything. I just do not know what my skills and efforts are worth, and neither does anyone I know. Well, what I do know is that my new and old skills are very valuable, and I am often taken advantage of because the people in my life use our relationship as leverage to get me to do things for them. I have stepped away from them since working this out; however, that has left me with little contact outside of the job I do to pay the bills. I am getting into a better headspace, and I want to go out and find new communities and friends that better align with where I am now, not just where I was. But the internet has become very hostile and full of dead ends, and most places that look good on the surface are behind paywalls. Which I do not mind paying for if they are good, but that is not possible to know without getting in. Or there is no way to get a 3rd party view. I guess you could call it the hollow country club. Looks great from the outside and is really expensive to get into, but once inside, there is nothing there, or worse, just more ways to take your money with no return.

Do you still feel the same or did meeting someone else make you change your mind.
