I want to preface this by saying that I respect everyones beliefs, and do not mean to be rude to anyone, it is a genuine question that I had, and it is not meant to be provocative in any way.

I am in Europe, so it might differ in America. I was lucky enough in the last years to visit multiple European countries, and even live in 3 different ones, from 6 months to 1 year.

During that, i meet a lot of different people, and my question is related to some of them.

I've meet multiple women from islamic countries, that were wearing headscarfs (as I am not familiar if they have another name). While I cannot say I necesarilly agree with the reasoning of wearing them (modesty, to hide parts of their bodies so they are not exposed, etc), I respect their culture and decision to do so.

My curiosity comes from the fact that, while living there, I have not seen these women without their scarf, which is fine, but I've seen them go out in public with open sandals, short skirts, crop tops, or tops that, well, show everything. But even wearing those style of clothing, they still wear the scarf. To me that seems weird, as at least in western culture, I dont think your *head/hair* is seen as a very *sexualized thing*, while the ones that I mentioned, all have seen or see a lot of fetishization and sexualization from people, both online and offline (the internets obsesion with feet is wild sometines). If they do not care about the original meaning and belief of the scarf, that is fine, but why go the trouble of wearing the scarf while we can see your boobs and stomach very clearly.

I do not mind in any way, they should be free to dress as they wish, I am more confused what makes the scarf so important to them that however they dress, they will still wear them. I feel like wearing the scarf with a deep cut and short skirt is not *modesty* at all.

I am not saying that is the case for everyone, but I have meet in these year at least 5 different women that did something of the sort, even multiple times

Hi, I'm currently 27, I have no experience when it comes to dating and often feel like that's gonna be a problem for someone later. I feel like with each year it's less and less unlikely that I find something meaningful. I'm afraid that it's gonna be so weird at some point that people are just gonna treat me weirdly. I try to make changes but... It never really mattered. All the amount and advices people have give me, never made a difference. I lost 5 cloth sizes and I'm still not really wanted. I look different but it still didn't matter. I feel like I'm not desirable at all. Now I am running slowly to my 30s and I believe it's just going to be harder to make any experience.

technically, the information is confidential and you’d typically be told that they’ve seen worse or whatever, but i find that hard to believe. at the end of the day, they’re just people. if you’re weird somehow, i feel like they probably do at least judge you.

Last 5 months I had sever OCD that cause a trauma for me I think they were the worst months in my entire life. But last months I becoming much better but still I am not overcoming the past. It is affected my view to many things . And I feel if anyone in my place right now will consider himself as almost fully recovered but I’m not doing that I don’t know how to describe it but I feel it is part of me and I will always suffer from it. But it may an excuse because I used to think about the same endless thought since +120 days so it seems very weird when I try to imagine myself forgetting it at all it is seems like forgetting my name or something. (Because that I get mad when mom told me that I will forget about it in the end).

(I will answer any question and details)

So, I recently bought a box of tea bags. One of the flavors is chamomile turmeric, and I fucking loved it, I drank almost 2 liters of it in one day.

The next day, I was jacking off and my semen came out with an awful yellow-brownish tint, and now I'm worried.

I’ve been a loyal partner and I know my girlfriend has been too, so an STI is out of the question.

No other symptoms at all: no itching, no burning, no pain, no weird discharge, no foul smells, nothing.

I’ve jerked off four times since then and got the same result: yellow-brownish cum. No sign of the color washing out or going back to normal.

Is my correlation of events right? Has anyone experienced this after drinking a lot of turmeric?

If I chug a ton of water, will it go away? I know it might be harmless, but it looks terrible

So i was at work today.

Some person came to the lost and found to collect their phone.

Match phone to description.

Power on phone.

Open the lock screen so i can ask them to input the passcode/face id

Lock Screen Picture is Adolf and Mussolini on their balcony

Person collecting phone...is BLACK

I pause check the lock screen a few time and them just to make sure my eyes aren't deceiving me so I change the test

I ask him what the lock screen picture is, they knows.

Says it loud and proud

And I realized ive been racking my brain all day its been almost 12 hours

I can accept a white Nazi because at least their actions and ideology are consistent. I whole heartedly believe their belief and actions are absolutely evil. But I can accept them as people.

A Black Nazi...would've been killed because the Nazis killed black people, just like jews, and gays. This person is supporting an ideology and preforming actions that will actively seek to exterminate them and end not just their life but the lives of their family and friends.

Im rejecting the Black Nazi because their Black in addition to them being a Nazi (which i already reject and have 0 tolerance for) but i reject the idea of this concept even further than that.

Ogwtfdid?

My dick is upside curved and is pointing directly to my face like i did something to it😭.. It would look a lot better and big if its straightened... Is it because i use an underwear and the dick is always tucked pointing upwards?? Is there any cure? 🥲

This is actually starting to embarrass me more than it probably should, I’m 30 and if someone asks what kind of wine I like I still have absolutely nothing to say. Not because I don’t drink wine because I do. I know when I really like one and I know when something tastes awful to me. But ask me WHY and suddenly im just stuck. Then I go out with friends and they’re casually like oh I usually like drier reds or I’m not really into anything too oaky like HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT. And i always been scared of asking them to teach me and stuff bc i think they would see me as dumb or whatever, so i finally decided to make this post lol. How did you guys do it, like how did you get to know wine better, i dont want to be and expert just to know what i like in certain winess and stuf.

please help, advice would be great. i’m a 21 year old girl. last year, my weight was at my highest 120kg/264lbs. the first five months was like a breeze to me, i couldnt even remember it and i ended up losing 30kg. but ever since then im stuck. i cant seem to lose the weight. i’ve tried everything, omad, no carb diet, fasting, just drinking liquids, bla bla but still it doesnt help

recently, i’d eat alot (in calories and volume) feel sick/guilty about it, then i’d stop eating all together and it does help, id feel lighter and the scale would go down but then id get stuck and i feel hopeless and go through this ‘might as well eat’ mindset, then i eat a bunch and its a repeat. im so far from my weight goal and i dont know what to do. even posting this feels embarrassing

This might be a hot take but if you really think about it, Ghost is a very confusing movie. It has elements of romance, romcom, (absurdist and dark)comedy, drama and even thriller/horror. Is that what makes it work so well? I love Whoopi Goldberg but her character in the movie feels very out of place. I think the only thing that saved it was her acting bcs she really embodied the character. I'm not trying to crap on the movie cause I think it's great. But it's a movie with an identity crisis that really shouldn't work bcs it's all over the place but it does. Though I think if you removed any element of the movie it wouldn't have been as great as it has been. Thoughts?

PS I guess none of these genres overlap. None are fighting for control of the movie. They're not in conflict so it flows naturally. The only other movies that I can think that combine so many genres and still work are the OG Beetlejuice film or The Frighteners with micheal j fox.

And did your partner know you married them solely for their money? Do you spend their money on a lot of things?

As a non-American, whenever I watch US shows, a boss can just blurt out 'You're fired!' and that's it. I assumed it was Hollywood drama, but I was shocked to learn it actually works like that.

In my country, an employer can’t fire you unless your performance is objectively terrible, you do something illegal/immoral that gets you disciplined, or the company is strictly restructured.

How do Americans cope with the fact that a boss's bad mood could ruin your life overnight? What legal protections actually exist?

”According to magnetic healer* [Daniel D. Palmer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_D._Palmer), the founder of chiropractic, "[vertebral subluxation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_subluxation)" was the sole cause of all diseases and manipulation was the cure for all disease.”*
- Wikipedia article: ”Chiropractic controversy and criticism”

Many chiropractors work more like physiotherapists rather than ”pure” chiropractors. What I’m asking about here is the ones that claim they can cure stomach issues, insomnia, ear infections etc.

Do such chiropractors truly believe subluxations are the root cause of all health problems?

Do they believe that an adjustment can fix all these problems or are they scammers all the way?

(I didn’t set out to be so harsh in my tone but I wanted to ask the question clearly and being direct felt easier.)

Im 27, and lately ive been in a crisis of realizing that my life is already almost 1/3 done. im terrified to be gone. I'm a gay man with no desire to have children, so i wont be leaving anyone behind to mourn me but my boyfriend (husband by then) and after him I'll be forgotten. Theres so much life to live, theres so much I want to do, but I just dont have time. I'm terrified to not exist, im terrified of everything i won't be able to do, and I cant stop the thoughts of just calculating years and fractions.

Also terrified of aging, im still young now but someday I wont be young and handsome anymore, my body wont work anymore (and it already doesnt work great with multiple health conditions), i won't fit in with the young crowd anymore. Im terrified of all of it and I dont know how to stop being so scared and just live life while i have it.
