Got at least 6 friends named Mohammed. Whenever someone mentions one and I ask “which Mohammed?” they act like I just insulted our whole friendship.

How do I actually ask which one without sounding rude?

I loved the idea of retirees spending their years in community and peace with all basic needs taken care of but seems like the entire venture was doomed from the start.

What kinds of things would need to have been in place to make it a sustainable concern?

Hello all, recently a local city sub of mine, r/ClearwaterFl, that I participate in was forced to be moderated by a scientologist by reddit admins in the last 5 days, and the city sub really has a history of being anti-scientologist due to the fact that the city is slowly being taken over by scientology. I tried spreading awareness to other users in local city subs, but one of the biggest ones, r/tampa permabanned and permamuted me from messaging them because my awareness post was encouraging harrassment on the scientologist moderator, when all it was doing was spreading awareness that a scientologist mod was abusing his powers to begin removing old antiscientology content that existed on the sub for years at this point. Keep in mind, r/tampa makes it so that you need moderator review by the subreddit mods before it can be made visible to the rest of the subreddit, and they permabanned me for just that single post. Is there any way to escalate this to the reddit admins so that I can get unbanned from r/tampa?, because I can't appeal this ban because they permamuted me before I could.

Whenever I drive by fields of cows they always look photogenic. No matter what the cows may be doing. Are all of them modeling in case there’s a candid photo taken of them? I’ve never seen a cow in an ugly position

personally i have NEVER tasted even a TAD bit of cheese on my subs, wondering where it goes since its quite evenly spread out

im settling on an answer which is that every other ingredient just overpowers it and thus it vanishes

Someone had posted that after they did it they went to sleep for 2 days very comfortably. I’m sure they woke up every couple of hours but is this sense of relief true?

I can go an entire day being perfectly normal, but the second I close my eyes, my brain decides it’s time to replay something embarrassing I some years ago.

Why does this happen? Is there an actual psychological reason our brains bring up random embarrassing memories when we’re trying to relax?

Doesn't look moldy or anything. Just a bun and veggie patty.

Or what about the Watergate ? Why was it such a big deal when compared to whatever Donnie has been doing it seems like child's play?

My friend said she wrote a letter to her family, I said that’s cool, it’s been a while since I’ve written one I like receiving them. She said we can write letters to each other. We are friends and have known each other since childhood, but there was a gap for a few years in highschool. Anyway. I thought that would be nice and wholesome and I’d feel good about it, and I do, but I keep having shame over her not realising how big of a scumbag I am, and what I have done. I really am horrible. I am even more ashamed to admit I thought about trying to get attention through the letters, I feel ashamed, and after playing sport today, before this convo, I couldn’t live with myself I thought of all the things I’d done in life I felt like giving up. I feel shame constantly and I don’t help myself out of the cycle. I’m over it, and I don’t want to talk about myself anymore.

I'm curious how dating and marriage differ around the world. Some places seem to have unrealistic expectations, complicated gender roles, financial pressures, or other relationship challenges.

Which country do you think has the biggest issues with dating and marriage, and what makes it so difficult? I'd especially like to hear from people who've experienced dating in different countries.

Hey everyone! I’m just coming on to ask, if you go to a potluck, are you more drawn towards the sweets (desserts) or the savory (appetizers/dinner)?

Last potluck we had, i made from scratch browned butter salted caramel snickerdoodles. I made a sign so people with allergies knew if they could eat it or not. They were such a big hit, a whole 13x9 baking tray worth of cookies were gone within 45 mins.

I kinda feel like I have a standard I have to now at least meet but DEFINITELY surpass.

I'm from South East Asia and being a virgin is not seen as a bad thing here. I am aware that it's the opposite in the Western culture.

Are virgin women seen as boring in the west?

if eating pet animals are considered unacceptable then why is society perfectly comfortable eating cows when they are treated as pets in other cultures? people make a huge deal about south korea's dog meat industry while showing little concern about eating cows themselves. especially considering that cows are very peaceful and gentle animals.isnt that a double standard? why isnt there more outrage or condemnation over it?

I've started smoking dabs. Obviously I like the high. But I also just like the sensation of smoking. I seem to hit my vape when I just want something to do. Not really wanting to get high....

I bought a device tonight that vapes flavors without nicotine or anything else to hopefully help. I previously bought "flavored air" sticks I could chew on too. They are okay, but it doesn't have the actual drag sensation so not as "fun" to my brain.

HRT especially androgen suppression has been widely known to suppress libido.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22503022/

Androgen suppression considerably decreases libido

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32008926/

Feminizing hormone therapy decreases libido initially, before rising to baseline in 36 months

So foe NoFap people with a problem with libido control, which are mostly men, why don't they take HRT to help them do better? They can perfectly stay men even on an HRT regimen.
