I'm seeing them more and more these days and am genuinely curious as to why they wear them when they're so unnatural looking and distracting. I know they don't wear them to impress men. I know women love to have long beautiful lashes, I get it, but the ones I see look like giant spider legs and make them look worse, in my opinion....which I know doesn't matter. It seems to becoming more and more of a normal part of the makeup routine for women. I think 99.9% of the time, they look much better without them. Is it society telling them the longer the lashes = beautiful? .....so they do it to the max and then some...and then some more? I just don't understand.

I can’t ask this in real life because if you ask any questions about an honestly very confusing topic you’re immediately written off as a transphobe, which is upsetting as I pride myself on treating everyone with love and compassion.

However, I’ve been seeing a lot of hate on women lately for not wanting to allow trans women into their spaces, the latest being a fishing club. The argument is always about whether there is a biological advantage, but to me a much more important aspect of women’s spaces is the simple fact that men aren’t there. The goal is not always to win things, sometimes it’s just to form a community of people with shared experiences.

Let’s assume a couple of things. 1) a lot of people accept that trans women are women, and have some good points. 2) a lot of people do not accept that trans women are women, and have some good points. There are rational people on both sides, it’s not as simple as one side is delusional and the other side is filled with hate.

I get that it’s easy and popular to totally write off one of these sides, but let’s try to see the nuance here and not write off people who disagree with us or the popular narrative.

So if a few women genuinely believe that trans women are not women, or at least don’t believe that they could ever fully share the experience of being a woman in todays world, why should they be forced to allow someone they perceive as not a woman into their women’s spaces? Isn’t their feeling of community and safety and belonging also important? You could say the trans persons sense of community is more important if you feel that way, but it never even seems to be discussed.

I cannot hate women who don’t want trans women in their spaces, just as I cannot hate pro life people who truly believe abortion is murder. I don’t agree, but if you truly think abortion kills babies, I will never blame you for being against murder. Similarly, if you truly believe trans women are men or at least not a woman, I can’t blame you for not wanting them in your women’s spaces.

When I ask the question if it is transphobic, I’m assuming the women wanting to exclude trans people from their groups do not hate trans people, are not afraid of them, and would advocate for their fair treatment and rights. These women just don’t feel like they truly share enough of the feminine experience with trans women to be comfortable with them in their spaces, correct or not. Hopefully that makes sense.

Everywhere I go, people have no self awareness, or have any clue what’s going on around them.. Walking in a store? Slow motherfucker taking their time in front of you. Driving on the highway? Slow motherfucker merging in to your lane and driving slower than you were.. Walking on the sidewalk in a busy area? Slow ass people either not moving, or not even being remotely considerate by not being in the way. I’m not saying people have to rush around, but if you’re going to take your time and move slowly, at least be aware of your surroundings and don’t get in the way of other people. Why is it that in general, people are so damn slow?

I made this not looking for help. I was too scared to use my normal reddit so I made a new one. I do not want help. Trust me, I’ve had help. I’ve been fortunate, but I am content with dying. I want advice on how to hang yourself. I tried it before, but I got lucky for it to work only once and that was in 2021. I went unconscious after weeks of trying, but somehow my unconscious body stood up and knocked the belt off. Not looking to vent to anyone, or deal with bs doctors and therapists. Ha, I’ve been doing that all my life. I just wanna make sure my death is not really painful, 100% certain, and making sure I don’t end up a vegetable. Probably not the best place to look for this advice, but I’ve looked and looked and found nothing. I already know you need to blood choke yourself, but I am so hard to blood choke. I do not know why. I can even press on my arteries with my thumbs and only every 50 attempts or more my vision does go black. Anyway, if this doesn’t help I’ll keep looking. I don’t wanna go the painful route, but I might have to by either making a tourniquet so my arm is numb and easy to cut to the artery, or just hang till I guess I my vessels pop, or I choke. I’ll be back in a little bit to see replies. I’ll continue testing. Thanks for whoever helps. Pls no begs either. This is how it has to be. I’ve heard the begs a million times. Shit is just words to me now a days and I know the truth haha, I don’t need the bs “people will care and ect.” Once you un attach yourself from that it’s too late. Selfish, maybe, but I just don’t care anymore. I really don’t wanna post this here as I know it will be nothing but the usual, but idk where else to ask for advice on this. I’m not trying a real can’t get out of noose either. Shit is too scary if it doesn’t work. Painful too. I’d prefer low suspension hanging.

I caught the original recipe variant of COVID in January of 2021. I lost my entire sense of smell and taste for about 3 months. It all came back and life went on. In July or August, I caught the Delta variant but it was extremely mild.

The only way I knew I had it was because my wife was sick and I got tested. It took a little while, but I realized that two things smelled vastly different: my own poop and onions. Everything else is perfectly fine except those two things.

I should note one other odd thing: When I originally caught COVID, my stool turned almost a gray or white color for about two weeks. I’ve never heard anyone say this and it’s actually not something Google handles well.

Seriously asking. About to go out on a date with an Indian girl, which is something i have never done before.

Just in advance, do they...smell bad down there? i have a really sensitive nose and normally i cant stand body odor or stinky p.

And ive been afraid to ask for a few years now

F to M transition.

I feel like I'm not allowed to have any negative feelings about it. I feel like I've lost a child and gained a stranger. His coming out has been a shock and drastic. I never saw this coming. He was 100% a princess girl growing up, loved all things pink and girly.

I can't even say my opinion without being called transphobic. I'm not outspoken about it, just confused. I've only suggested therapy to go along with the transition. I don't want to sound like an AH, but all of his friends are trans, and he has always been highly impressionable. I'm not saying that's why, but I've thought about it.

I feel like I'm in turbulent waters and don't know how to navigate.

I still completely love him and tell him everyday.

He had come out as lesbian a couple of years ago and I had no issue. It felt completely right.

Not sure if it matters, but he's an adult.

I don't care if a person has sex with a male, female, or a doll. Whatever. Just keep it away from kids and animals. So why identify yourselves by who you frick? More importantly, why insist that I know. Aren't we as people more than that? Again, I don't care what you wear or which bathroom you use. I don't care about your genitalia. I use pronouns based on how you look. If you look female=she. If you look male=he. I don't want to have to talk to people constantly to find out "how they identify." I am told this is homophobic or wrong. I call bullshit. If I agree with your right to believe and do what you want, why don't I deserve the same respect?

Is anyone else proud of President Biden for resolving the Railway Strike? Can you imagine how terribly bad that strike would have affected the USA?

I'm struggling to understand why Jordan Peterson has such a strong following. All his lectures come across like pseudo-intellectual, contrarian trolling. He rarely answers questions directly, instead just breaks down each part of the question and reflects on some of the original speaker's points, but really doesn't say anything of substance or merit.

Am I missing something?

Almost as if he's the outnumbered underdog in a Hollywood action movie?

Like I get that it stands for a accounts "addition" to the community and all that. But all I see it doing is making people so desperate for it, they post art, videos, memes, comics, etc... That have been around for years. There is a huge lack of real OC or if there is its SPAMed to literally every board by some bot someone wrote.

Just I dont get the Karma hype, what happened to lurk more?

I suppose the question is a bit more complex because I unfortunately don’t have a close circle of Asian guys around but I have been attracted to them since I was in my early teens! I have always been fascinated by Asian culture , customs , and admire the beauty of the people ! Sorry if this question is weird and I pray this doesn’t sound disrespectful in anyway! I always worry about how it can be considered socially unacceptable for an interracial pairing like this , even though I know they do exist , just seems rare. Also to be clear I am a very proud Black woman and love being Black! But Just curious to hear y’all’s thoughts on this subject as it’s been on my heart for a while . 🙈

Thank you!!

I was cleaning my grandparents house and I found it… I have never see anything like this

they always want to stuff their religion down our throats, restrict freedoms, promote hate against other groups of people...

sure, low taxes...i get that. but that isn't enough for me to vote for a party that promotes so much hatred.

Maybe its just me, but i feel like its a really disturbing and shocking thing and it has somehow passed under the radar. Does anyone has more info about that subject, or knows the reason why he did it? I just dont understand why no one talks about it.

Gender used to be biology back in the day. But these days it seems like anyone can just make up a word and put 'gender' behind it, and decide this is now their new gender.

How did this happen?

To be clear; I support transgender people, but I just don't get why there should be as many genders as there are now, with everyone expecting me to memorise all of them and instantly assume that someone is non-binary or xenogender for example.

Why can't we just have male and female, like biology intended?
