I’m half Pakistani but no one knows this about me, but recently I kind of want to know more about that side of me but idk where to start

Grew up in the UK I’m half Latino half Pakistani, my dad was absent my whole life and to be honest I don’t even know his name. I only know his first name but doesn’t really help much because it’s a common Muslim name, growing up I used to always be ashamed of being half Pakistani icl mostly because we always seem to be the but of jokes or people used to always make fun of South Asians

So because of this and the fact that I didn’t grow up in the culture at all made me never identify with this side of me, I only ever really identified as Latino and fully Latino, the only people that know I’m half Pakistani is my family not even my close friends or girlfriend know,

But now I feel like I’m at the point where I’m more open to accept the fact and be open about it, but I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been lying about this for my whole life, I don’t even know which Pakistani ethnic group I belong to, I don’t know a single-family member from the Pakistani side

And I know this might not be the place for it, but I’m wondering if you guys could just help me out and where to basically start?

I’ve also attached a photo of myself and I’m wondering if you guys saw me would you be able to tell that I’m half Pakistani? also might be a bit weird but based off looks alone could you guys be able to maybe tell what ethnic group I’d be part of

Can someone help me find this rapper?

I used to see Instagram reels of the guy and I’m pretty sure he was Dominican and he would rap in Spanish but it kind of sounded similar to lazerdim

So basically, I’m trying to find a rapper that sounds like a Spanish version of lazerdim

Anyone else think it’s crazy the difference between how Thien and clav/other looksmaxxers are getting treated?

Literally if you go to Theins comment section it’s just a bunch of sympathetic comments telling him he doesn’t have to do this and people being sad, meanwhile during Clavs peak I don’t really remember seeing much comments like this on his videos or anything

Honestly, crazy the way these two are getting treated so differently

What if fight club project mayhem happened in real life?

For those of you unaware in fight club the movie there is a plan called project mayhem in which basically they blew up a bank building therefore “erasing everyone’s debt”

Obviously blowing up one building in real life would do nothing as the data and records is stored in multiple places across the world

But hypothetically, somehow, if the group managed to blow up every single datacentre, every single bank holding records of debt what would the outcome be like in real life?

Is there any downsides to getting a Cuban passport?

I understand only having a Cuban passport is quite bad and is it doesn’t really offer many benefits but I was born in the UK to Cuban parents so I’m already a British citizen and have a British passport so I was wondering is there any inherent downsides to also having an additional Cuban passport?

I know having a Cuban passport/citizenship does bring issues when you’re trying to travel to somewhere like the USA but I’m pretty sure I already have issues because I’ve visited Cuba after 2021

And for the majority of the countries I’d go, I’d probably just use my British one

Do you think modern social media like Instagram, TikTok, snapchat, etc will ever die or will they just be around for basically forever?

I’ve been thinking about this a bit recently and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t think these social medias will ever really die. I think they’re just too big. I feel like in 100 years from now all of our Instagram post and everything will still be around and Instagram will probably still be popular.

And by die I don’t mean just not being popular. I mean properly die like servers shut down going out of business and stuff like that

I think even Myspace is still around in some capacity

Although on a slightly unrelated note, I wonder if they will ever run out of storage if they keep going on for so long

How is the battery latch meant to look like on a camera that supports NP-F330 batteries?

Recently, my friend accidentally dropped my camcorder and every time I used an aftermarket battery it keeps disconnecting and turning off the camera and reconnecting

So I think the latch that hold the battery might be a bit broken

I’ve provided some photos and I’m wondering if you guys can see anything wrong?

The camera still works perfectly fine with third-party batteries if I push it down while using it

I told girl I’m talking to, that I’d rather not talk about my ex and now she’s acting weird

I’ve been talking to this girl for like a week now and I broke up with my ex last month anyways the girl messages me saying “if ur ex turned into me and i turned into ur ex would you be with her or me” and I respond with saying “wtf is this question?” and then she says “what” and I respond with saying “Look I think it’s a weird question to ask, I’d rather not talk about my ex or anything, I’m not with her for a reason, and to answer ur question neither” she says sorry but since I’ve sent that message, she’s been acting a bit weird like only sending me one word replies on leaving my messages open for a bit

You guys think I do anything wrong and what should I do?

We’re both 18 by the way

And the reason I responded the way I did is because if I’m talking to her, I don’t think I should really be talking about my ex at all or much

I’m breaking up with my girlfriend later today

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for over a year now and it's been going all right but to be honest recently I've just not been feeling much of a connection and I’ve been feeling like this for a few months now. She hasn't done anything wrong | just feel like our personalities are too different to work together and I know people say opposites attract but personally I don't feel like that.

I'm super scared and anxious to break up. I asked her to hang out. She doesn't know any of my feelings but I'm meant to be seeing her later. I think I'm planning on taking her to the park and sitting down on a bench and then say that we need to talk and then I'll say how I feel

Super scared to do this though as she suffers from severe depression and has self harmed before and I know it's a selfish reason, but Im also scared to be alone again and single again, she's my first girlfriend which makes it even more difficult, but it wouldn't be fair on me or her if I'm staying in a relationship which I'm not really happy in

If you have any advice on how should I approach this?
It would be greatly appreciated.

For example, I would like to know how can I approach this in the most gentle way

And what should I say? Because I don’t know what I should say because she hasn’t done really anything necessarily bad

I’ve been wanting to break up for my girlfriend but I just can’t do it

I’ve been dating this girl for over a year, there is a year age gap between us, and to be honest, I’ve been feeling feelings of breaking up since February but I just can’t do it, I hate to admit it but I’m scared, she suffers from severe depression and is a very sensitive person I feel like if I break up with her it might push her over the edge and cause her to self harm or possibly worse, I’m so scared of that happening also this is my first relationship so I’ve never had to break up with anyone before

As for why I’ve been wanting to break up there’s not really any particular reason I just don’t feel like it’s working but I feel like I also can’t just break up for no reason out of the blue but I already feel like I’ve been broken up in my mind, so I feel like I’m stuck and I also know that definitely in the wrong in this situation

It’s also not that I don’t like her I do but I just don’t like her as a partner, to be honest if we weren’t dating right now, I don’t even know if we would be friends

I’m also going to be starting university soon and because she is a year younger than me, she’ll still be in secondary school. I was thinking this might would be a good time to break up if I do, as I could probably just use the excuse that word in different stages of our lives

I do think she may have noticed a tiny bit that I’m acting a bit different although I do try to act the same, I almost never say I love you first anymore as I don’t want to say it if I don’t fully mean it, but I do normally say it back if she says it first but she has noticed this. She sometimes asked me why I never say it first. I also think she might have noticed that I’m being a bit less physical as when we go out I don’t really hold her hand as much and I think she might have noticed a bit

Why does no one seem to care that Asta has a five leaf clover grimoire?

I’m currently re-watching the anime as it’s been quite a while since I’ve last seen it, but it’s made me realise why does no one care that asta has a 5 leaf clover

Surely this must be something intriguing or something basically unheard of in this world

I can understand when people speak Portuguese, but I can’t really understand songs or movies?

Every time I speak Portuguese and people speak back to me, I can basically understand everything they’re saying. Albeit they might be altering the way they speak so I can understand a bit better.

To try get as an authentic speaking experience I normally go on Random video chat websites and set location to Brazil and speak Portuguese that way

But I’ve noticed, even though I could understand when people speak to me I still can’t really seem to understand movies or some songs that well

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, for example, I was trying to watch city of God in Portuguese, but I’m still struggling to understand quite a bit, same with songs mostly funk music, although there is a few songs, I can understand quite well like velha infancia

So I’m wondering, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get better at understanding movies and songs?

Help, dropped camcorder keeps turning off not sure if it’s battery or the camcorder?

My friend accidentally dropped my camcorder and at the moment I didn’t notice anything was wrong but then when I got home, I turned it on and it kept turning itself off at the slightest movement or anything

When the camera is plugged into the wall, it works perfectly fine. I can shake it as as much as I want tap it as hard as I want and it stays on.

I even tried it with the OG battery the one that originally came with the camera and it seems to work fine as well as I can move it about freely and shake it, problem with that is that the capacity is really bad as it’s so old

Physically, the camera and the battery look perfectly fine so I don’t see anything that is broken, which makes me even more confused. And the camera with the aftermarket battery used to function perfectly fine before it got dropped

I have attached a video of my issue

What is high school like in Japan?

I grew up in Scotland so my high school experience is probably very different than those to Japanese,

Few things I’m wondering, how is the social life?

Are house parties or parties in general a common thing in Japan for teenagers? and extension to this question would also be do teenagers drink alcohol commonly?

From what I’ve heard is that extracurriculars are quite popular, is this true?

Is there a sense of community for high school students between each other?

Also do essays and stuff have a character count or word count?

Edit: should probably add when I say Jamaican i mean Jamaicans that grew up in the uk
