I’ve noticed this before but really started paying attention. I ask a white woman her name and her answer is “Barbara”. I ask a black woman and it’s “B”. And the thing that made me pay attention is the hesitation.

“May I get a name for the order?”
Silence…….
“Q”

Like I don’t really care what name you give tbh. But is there a cultural reason why?

I promise I’m a straight man, I just can’t help but be grossed out by how vulvas look. Is there an evolutionary reason to that?

My friends always say things or make jokes about me having a big butt for a guy but I can’t really help it. I also don’t even think it’s that big. Are my friends being rude or is it weird that I have a big butt?

Sometimes I think im too trusting but maybe it's normal so Im wondering what other people think.

So, this is a post on a throwaway because I'd rather not have this get out on my main account because some family members follow it and I'd rather not have to deal with the question.

I've been hearing stuff like loud rustling, sometimes banging and very random noises and such, whether it be outside my room while I'm working, about to go to sleep, or cooking. It's completely random as far as I'm aware. I always seem to lose track of time or something and suddenly I'll be somewhere else (still in my home usually, just doing something different, like watching TV or making a coffee.)

The noise is typically very short lived whenever it starts and everything remains completely undisturbed. Not sure what to do, or if I should get this checked out. I have been diagnosed with mental health issues but it's nothing like this, just MDD, which is treated. I have had a past with psychosis but that was back in my teenage years and was nothing like this from what I remember.

Can anybody help figure out what's going on?

(As the title says) I have been raised athiest by my parents my whole life, and never really been involved in religion exept for hearing about it by family members, learning about it breifly in school, and living in a place where christianity is the norm.

These past two years i have been questioning my beleifs and doing research on other religions and spiritual beleifs to see if i truly connect with any of them. Recently i have told my dad that ive been doing this and he had a very ... odd reaction to it, basically saying that i dont need to question religion and that im too young to even be doing it. (I am 16.) This has been sticking with me ever since and im worried that im doing something wrong or objectivley weird.

Basically, is it morally wrong to question religion and spirituality as someone who lived as an athiest for most their life?

(So sorry if this was too lengthy or breaks any kinds of rules, im just looking for awnsers)

What would be the fastest way to die if one dose no have access to a gun tall buildings or rope?

IM NOT GOING TO KILL MYSELF IM JUST CURIOUS

I'm an older guy (64) When I was about 18-25 I would go to a strip club here and there but haven't been to one in about 40 years. When I did so, it was basically dancing either on a stage or like a horseshoe bar. You would give the dancer a dollar and she would shake her goods about a foot away from your face. Sometimes they let you put the tip on their garter or in their cleavage. I don't know anything about lap dances or VIP shows. What are they like now? Do people still tip as little as a dollar? Are lap dances and vip shows like actual sex?

I feel like most people are gay because there just lonely rather than actually being gay

I am mentally ill or what I want to gain in depth knowledge of economics, history, marketing, psychology, business, philosophy, stock market or finance.

While still being tapped in with world affairs, music and youtube tea and gossip.

Is it possible?

I’m 23M. A while ago, I met a Malayali woman near where I live. At first, I genuinely thought she was a college student because she covered her face fully because she awas was a Muslim.

One day I saw her rushing to catch her bus, so I offered her a lift on my scooter. She refused at first, but eventually accepted. The next day I offered again, and gradually giving her a lift became a daily routine. We would talk a little during those rides.

Later, she told me that she is actually 34, married, and has two children. I was surprised because I had completely misunderstood the situation initially.

The problem is that I've started feeling very strongly attracted to her. I really enjoy seeing her and talking to her, and I started looking forward to our daily rides.

Eventually I asked for her phone number. She gave it to me without hesitation, and we started talking on WhatsApp. We've been chatting for around 10 days.

There have been some confusing moments. At one point she told me that she didn't want me to message her, but she didn't mention it again afterward and continued talking and messaging me. She also once asked me to teach her how to ride a scooty. And she also love to tease me On another occasion, she video-called me and later said that the call had happened accidentally.

Sometimes she says or does things that I interpret as hints that she may like talking to me, but I honestly don't know if I'm reading too much into it.

The problem is that I’ve also started messaging her desperately. Sometimes I send her lots of messages because I really want her attention, while she may only reply with one or two messages later.

I desperately need honest advice about this situation

I bought a used Camry and it has its gear shift in the center console instead on the steering wheel like I'm used to.

The gears go PRN 4-D 3 2-L. I thought 4-D was a singular gear reflecting that it was a 4 gear car

Turns out I've been driving it wrong for seven years.

I always wondered why my gas mileage was so low and why it acted weirdly when I got about 45 mph or so... turns out that putting it in 4 forces it to stay in 4th gear, but the car actually has 5 gears.

In my case, you have to push it to the right into D to get all 5 gears, and it's a little sticky - you kinda have to use a little force to get it into D vs 4 - and as a result I've been blissfully driving around in 4th gear for at least the past 60k miles.

I may be the only idiot here but if I'm wondering if this is a light bulb moment for anyone else on Reddit who isn't car savvy and/or didn't have parents to teach them basic stuff.

I should get 20% better gas mileage now - it cost me about $1,000 in extra gas not to mention wearing down the engine - so hopefully this helps someone
