Is it Worth Coming Out?

Is it worth coming out as aroace if I can see myself being in a relationship in the future? I'm romance favourable and sex indifferent so I feel like my life isn't really that much different to an allo person's. Also, whilst I know my friends and family would accept me (I actually have a few friends in the lgbtq+ community), I'm not sure they'd really understand and I don't think it would ever be brought up again. Whilst it would be nice to be out, it's quite nerve-racking and I just don't know if it's worth it, has anyone else had a similar experience?

Philosophy, Politics and Economics

Does philosophy, politics and economics as a degree look worse than just one of the three by themselves because it's not super specific to one knowledge field?

Britpop Hogwarts Houses

Ok, I know this is overdone and cheesy as hell but what Hogwarts houses do you think different Britpop artists would be in? Genuinely curious.

Katsu Curry Stain

About two weeks ago I got a few splotches of Kastu Curry sauce (made from katsu curry powder) on a white 100% cotton t-shirt and after going through the wash the stains have faded but are still there. I'm really annoyed because it was quite an expensive t-shirt so I was wondering if there is any way to remove the stains at this point without causing any damage to the top? Thanks for any help you can give.

Am I Aroace?

Ok I know this is asked on here all the time but I'm so confused about my (a?)sexuality right now. For context I'm 17f and I don't think I've ever had a crush on anyone. The problem is, I'm not sure how to tell for sure because I don't really understand what it's like to be romantically or sexually attracted to anyone? I've never felt that spark that people say you get but I've definately felt drawn to people (usually men but there's been one or two women). I think it may be aesthetic attraction but again, no matter how many times I've seen them be explained, I just can't seem to get my head around the different types of attraction.

What confuses me more is that I want to be in a romantic relationship and whilst the idea of sex kind of grosses me out I think I would maybe like it if I did it with the right person and I'm definately curious about trying it some day - I feel a pull towards men and usually imagine doing it with them but would consider trying it with a women. I also don't ever think of a particular person when I think about having romantic or sexual relations in the future.

I'm quite awkward with people I don't know and I've never spoken about having crushes or anything with my friends (they tell me about theirs but I've never mentioned mine) do I've never really been in a romantic situation as far as I can tell. The only time I've been asked out was when I was about 12 and I turned him down because I didn't like him in that way but just chalked it up to being "too young" so I can't tell how I would feel if I actually had the chance to explore these feelings.

I do have male friends but I've never felt anything towards them, and this also might sound a bit weird but I'm quite tall and a lot of my friends say they would only want to date someone taller than them so I've kind of got that idea in my head now and all the guys I'm friends with are shorter than me so I kind of subconsciously told myself that's why I didn't feel anything towards any of them or most other guys because I was being fussy, but now I'm not so sure?

I also don't have many celebrity crushes or get them often, I've only had a few (just to be clear I am aware that aroace people sometimes still have these) but when I do get them they're kind of intense although when I think about it it's probably just aesthetic and/or platonic attraction that I feel towards them.

I know it sounds like I'm probably aroace but I've been thinking about if for a few months now and I'm still not sure if that label is right for me. There's been a few guys who I definately felt something towards which I don't think was aesthetic or platonic attraction so I just don't know what else it could be but at the same time I think I may have been forcing it?

Looking back at everything I just wrote I probably am aroace but I'm still so confused and would like to hear other people's thoughts on this or if they've had any similar experiences?

Sorry about all the writing, thank you so much if you read this far!

Where can I get relaxed straight leg jeans?

Can anybody tell me where I can get relaxed straight leg jeans with waist size 30" or 32" and leg length 36" (I'm 5'11)? I really want a pair like this for a kind of casual, indie/alternative style but cannot find them anywhere. I'm not fussed whether they are women's or men's jeans. Thanks!

Tourist Postcards from Abroad

I was wondering how people would feel about receiving a tourist postcard of a country that the sender isn't actually from. For example, I'm British and I've just been to Greece recently and bought a few postcards of the country whilst there. I probably wouldn't send them anyway because I want to keep them a souvenirs but I was wondering how weird it would be if I did choose to use them for postcrossing?

Which ID do I use?

I've just received a postcard today and the person has written the postcard ID on it twice however the last number on both of them is different so what do I do here? Do I just risk using one of them and see if it registers?

Edit: I tried both and one was just a mistake so it's registered now!

Can you get the same person twice?

Kind of random question, but is it possible to get given the same person to send a postcard to or receive a postcard from the same person more than once (excluding direct swaps)? Maybe if they're a very active postcrosser for example? Has this ever happened to anyone?
