Wanting to cosplay john stewarts green lantern as he is my favorite green lantern, obviously i know not to do black face but i still want to make sure its culturally acceptable

Recently I’ve been getting into shrooms and each time I do take them, my vagina has gotten wet? can anyone explain why that happens? I dont get horny but I’ve noticed it makes me the wettest I’ve ever been, like I’ve never ever been that wet and it honestly has surprised me.

Here's the situation:

Two of my coworkers male and female have gotten close while I was on leave. The female coworker has started calling the male coworker her boyfriend.

The issue is he is married and she has a boyfriend of three years. I was confused at first and slightly concerned, because I don't think it's appropriate for her to be calling him that. I know if some girl called my husband her boyfriend I would not be okay with that. I know he would never cheat/hurt his wife, he's a good guy. I have never heard him call her his girlfriend, and I am aware they are joking. I also made a joke about it.

I also shared a true anecdote about a coworker breaking up a marriage and how messy it was, not at all implying anything about the two of them.

Then, I got a scathing, cruel message from her saying I called her a homewrecker (which I never did) and hurt her feelings. She then proceeded to tell me I can't joke about it, and I tried to rationally explain my point of view, in addition to telling her it's hypocritical to say I can't joke about something but she can.

I'm hurt, because she was a close friend of mine, and I don't think I deserve this. She kept bringing up how she has other friends, to which I'm extremely supportive of her making them, as I've also made other friends whom I've grown close with also!

I just feel like I'm at a loss of what to do , other than the fact I'm not going to interact with her at work unless absolutely necessary. I also might add, that we had been chatting earlier in the evening with no issues before this happened. Perhaps it would be most effective if I just let her go and move on with my life.

it was supposed to be safe and satisfying, but it keeps bugging me, I might carry something for the rest of my life

used condom, only vaginal penetration

but touched the condom right after... is there any SkinToSkin STD I'm risking??

I’m talking about the people who cuss and swear in nearly every other sentence. What’s up with that? I’m genuinely curious as someone who rarely swears and only does it when angry, stressed, or upset. For me personally the words feel better to say when used sparingly. If you use them constantly, they lose their impact.

It always confuses me when someone say pretty boys aren't their type or say "You are one of those pretty boys".

It almost like people think it's "feminine" for a man to be attractive in the first place. Maybe that's not what is happening here. But it does seem like that though lol.

Im I supposed to assume that most women prefer dating unattractive men or something? Because what is the alternative in this context? Are hypermasculine men like Roman Reigns or the Aquaman actor not considered pretty boys or something?

My health is so bad right now and i’m 20. I have so much spite for the world and i’m gonna go on hospice and no one can stop me. But i am kind of scared. I don’t care about waiting any longer

I observed a barn some time ago with a big "24" painted on the roof with white paint. I thought it was odd.

What could be the purpose of the number?

If i talk about my struggles with people and dating struggles due to being short (less than 5'6"), people act as if it's a moral failure and a psychological problem and say "go to therapy".

Not like therapy will somehow fix me, and make me taller so as to not face these issues. You can't fix someone who isn't broken in the first place.

The problem is the mindset other people have that they show by constantly putting down someone based on uncontrollable metrics. After the therapy session ends, all of it comes back at you.

I’m obviously not suggesting that every white American felt this way. Many opposed racism and fought alongside Black Americans for civil rights.

Throughout American history, from slavery and Jim Crow to segregation and the civil rights movement, Black Americans have endured extraordinary levels of oppression, discrimination, and violence.
Yet what confuses me is the sheer intensity of the hatred directed toward them by so many white Americans, particularly during those periods.

From what I understand, Black Americans never collectively did anything to white Americans that could remotely explain such hostility. Even movements like the Black Panther Party emerged largely in response to systemic oppression, police brutality, and the failure of existing institutions to protect Black communities.

When I watch historical footage of segregation or read accounts of how Black Americans were treated during Jim Crow, I’m genuinely baffled.
You see white crowds screaming at Black children simply for attending school, people violently attacking peaceful demonstrators, and entire communities fighting desperately to prevent Black people from having the same basic rights.

The intensity of that hatred almost makes it look like white Americans were seeking revenge for some terrible injustice Black Americans had committed against them.
But historically, the relationship was largely the opposite.

You would think that, given the history of slavery and oppression, the people responsible for perpetuating those systems would have been more inclined to feel guilt, remorse, or at least some sympathy. Instead, many displayed even greater hostility toward the very people who had been victimized.

But I’m genuinely curious: Where did such intense hatred come from, especially when the people expressing it were often members of the group that historically held the power and inflicted the harm?

I've seen this opinion on reddit (even from fans of Eminem's and Aesop Rock's music) and in real life from fans of rock and metal. Sure, mainstream rap music does cover those topics a lot, but that shouldn't represent an entire genre of music. I wouldn't judge a genre of music by what I hear on the radio or what's aggressively marketed to me by profit-driven record labels.

I see those around me smiling, joking, and somewhat relaxed at times. I don’t see how that’s possible. The world seems so grey and and life feels like suffering everyday.

It’s just that I don’t have any friends and feel like I’m missing out on the usual stuff like costume parties, haunted houses, etc. I’ll just be staying at home like usual. I mean, it is kind of my fault since I’ve never been good with people, yet feel like I’m missing out on stuff.

So I know this has been a thing for awhile but I feel like assuming someone is unfaithful because they don't want you taking their phone without permission. I know most of the time the videos are most likely staged but if I think someone is reaching for my phone, I'm going to grab it over my food. Like if you took away the partner aspect and a friend did it, would it be seen as the person who's eating is unfaithful? Coming from someone who's single and doesn't like anyone touching my phone I feel like it's odd to jump to the cheating conclusion, especially when you're recording and posting it online for views. I know this is probably a silly post but I've been seeing these videos a lot and it bothers me that people concluded that "privacy = Guilt" I once had an experience where a girl I wasn't really friends with took my phone out of my hands and tried to show everybody what I was looking at, I think I was scrolling through Pinterest and she thought it was funny and I had to practically wrestle with her to get my phone back because she held her hand up to keep me from getting my phone back. My mom will also tell family members about things and think it's funny when it's humiliating and then I'm being called a brat for being upset. So I guess I'm just wondering if the trend is completely fake or if someone else sees how toxic it is to call your partner a cheater for thinking you're going to take their phone without warning?

Hi, so the other day I was talking with a friend (who is a sociologist) about a story Im writing, because I want to approach this question from different angles. For context: my story is about a woman meeting a ghost and part of the first arc is heavily focused on them determining that everything theyre experiencing is real. I told my friend everything my character did as a way to gather proof being things such as: asking questions to the ghost of things they couldnt easily know and then contrast this information with verified data of the ghost, going both with a priest and a psychologist for a second opinion, etc. After I told her that I asked her what sort of proof would they need to believe that something like this and she told me that there wouldnt be any amount of proof that would make them believe this and attributed this as a parasocial interaction. So I was wondering, what's the type of proof someone would need to determine that what they're living isnt something that is on their heads but that this is something that is actually going on?
