Apparently, iced coffee is more popular than traditional coffee in the US nowadays. Or at least it sells best in cafes and restaraunts.

I don't get it. I've tried it a few times and it just feels like a downgrade.

My gripes:

• It feels like you get less coffee for the same price. Half the cup is ice
• After you drink it, you're left with just a cup full of ice
• I drink it faster than traditional coffee. You can with a cup of hot coffee for 15-30 minutes waiting for it to cool and drinking bit by bit. Cold coffee is down in a few sips.
• The coffee tastes... worse? The flavour is weaker.

I understand cold coffee-- like bottled coffee or canned coffee-- but iced coffee doesn't do it for me. Are you supposed to let the ice melt?

Why do you prefer it over warm?

My little sister is 8 and recently she asked me why women wear “diapers” sometimes. My mom thinks she’s too young to learn about periods and wants to explain it later but honestly I feel like basic knowledge about women’s bodies shouldn’t be hidden like some big secret.

I’m not trying to give her a whole biology class... I just want her to grow up informed and comfortable asking questions instead of confused later. As her brother how do I explain periods and pads to her in a simple and age appropriate way without making it awkward?

A mate just got some psychedelic mushrooms from his cousin, they’re all clean and in great condition etc., but I wondered because I’m under 20yo, if I should take them or not, plus I was thinking about taking about 1.5g (first time), and wondered if that’s enough, or maybe too much but I would love to see some visuals. We’re planning to go to my friends house and chill there, is it gonna get boring after some hours? We just be sitting around, can’t really leave the room due to his housemates. Last question is, if we take them at around 2-3. pm, how long is the trip gonna last? Don’t want to sit there until nighttime.

Excuse me for bad English, not my first language.

I have and while I’ve gotten some nice comments, I get some mean ones too. idk if I should stop, the mean ones always seem “louder” for some reason. idk if 988 is a good idea. I’m kinda struggling with self hate and societal acceptance, and honestly sometimes Reddit increases my feeling of not being able to relate to others/fit in. I’ve always felt like a freak and the outcast of a group, and I’d really like to not feel that way. I crave friends/social interaction and bad social interactions kill me.

I genuinely need outside opinions because I’m stressing badly.
Yesterday after our last exam, our group went partying. Later I went to a friend’s flat, had another beer and slept there for some time. Around 3 AM my friend woke me up and told me to leave because of some security issue in the building, so I went home.
A few hours later, one of my friends called me and asked if I had touched one of our female friends inappropriately because apparently she was upset/crying. The problem is I genuinely do not remember anything like that happening. I was drunk and parts of the night are blurry, but from whatever I remember, I don’t think I did anything.
Now I’m panicking because:
I would never intentionally do something like that.

If I unknowingly crossed a boundary, I want to take responsibility.

But I also don’t want to assume I’m guilty when I genuinely don’t know what happened.

What would you do in this situation? How should I approach this without sounding defensive or manipulative?

I keep seeing kids say it everywhere. X aah this and x aah that. What is aah?

curious to know

so i wanted to lose some weight because summer is coming and I gotta be real , if you're a girl being skinny is the fit. So i wanted to do some simple exercises like a dead hang, squats, etc, but I can't do those things, I literally can't physically do them So I wanted to ask if anyone knows any really easy exercises that I could start with? thx ^^

edit:not to be mean, but I cant do complicated stuff like calculating calories or menus. Im not even 13 yet I just want exercises pls some of you are going full on 3 year fittnes program ,wich i apreciate but i am a literal child XD

obviously (hopefully) an adult who is caught with cp is going to be arrested for life, but what happens to a kid? if they are viewing it of someone in the same age group. it isnt pedophillia since their the same ages but would they still be arrested and/or given punishment? it would have to differ depending on the age of the kid wouldnt it?

would the child just be given minimal punishment while they try to find where the content came from and tracked who made it or would the kid still face punishment for owning illegal content either way.

I don't know but try not recommended things like ikigai book or self help books,

I want to know your personal advice to find it ... I know it sounds very illogical

But I'm very confused and don't know how to explain what I need .

Is it true humans can find their purpose? Or is this just a weird fantasy to make us feel important enough.?

I think I would fucking faint on the floor or go black if I saw my mans penis in another woman and vice versa. I’ve spoken about this with so many people. The only way I could ever physically follow through with this is to do it with someone I am not emotionally invested in. I genuinely cannot comprehend how some people watch there partners have sex with others lol

And I’m not judging!! Do what makes you happy! I’m just saying my mind can’t wrap around the idea lol

Like the title says I think I’m racist towards white people. I’m Mexican and I feel like because of my childhood and the area I grew up in I’m racist towards where people internally? I would never say anything towards a white person or blame them for something or anything absorb them. But when I’m around white people I get a little uncomfortable and don’t like them because I feel a cultural divide. When I was a kid I dealt with a lot of racism and bullying for being brown I have a huge scar on my knee because when I was 5 a group of white kids pushed me who would always bully me for being brown. I couldn’t defend myself I was mute till around 6 so I didn’t speak and my parents weren’t around much. There’s a lot more that any POC would have experienced their whole life and would know. I don’t want to give more examples because it sounds like excuses but to me it’s just how I was raised. But saying all that it sounds like textbook racism if I were white and said that about a Mexican I’d be racist. While I do think it’s very different I don’t want to think like this but for me it’s almost like instinct to not trust white people. I’m very into politics and race issues so I understand my thinking is wrong and try not to make my opinions involve it but deep down I feel some disdain.
I don’t want to think like this and when I talk about politics I never add it into my thinking as I know it’s wrong but I feel it deep down. I know alot of people think it’s not racist and I do somewhat agree because systemically being white isn’t remotely close to being a POC I don’t want to think like this.

So listen, I’m new to the r4r game and I found a few women in my local r4r group looking for “F4M” random hook ups, and a few different women messaged me. I got really connected with one and thought we had chemistry. Asked where I was from, she said she’s from half an hour away and can host.

She said before she gives me her address, she asked for a deposit of $100 on chime. I was pretty thrown, and now think I was just being naive. Are these Reddit girls just a scam? Or is this just a modern day call girl type situation? Didn’t feel comfortable paying for a hook up. And felt even weirder about using a random app I never heard of before even meeting them. Can anyone give some insights

(Disclaimer: this is not about anything happening right now, I am thinking of a time more than a year ago I accidentally locked myself in the lobby of a building and how grateful I am I at least didn't need to wizz.)

A few years ago everything was about curves, “healthy bodies” and body positivity.

Now Cannes and Hollywood suddenly look straight out of a late 90s fashion campaign again. Ultra skinny, hollow cheeks, oversized sunglasses, cigarettes, “effortless” luxury vibe.

It feels like beauty standards did a complete U-turn in like 18 months.

Are we actually back to heroin chic again, just with better skincare and Ozempic?

Hi guys, I’m f28. So, long story short, I took a herpes test and found out I’m asymptomatic for HSV1. I was telling my guy friend m(34ish) about it and he flipped out on me and insisted I tell m(27) who I have an enormous crush on and have been hooking up with for three years. Conversation ended with him announcing he was going to go do it for me. So I told m27. That was in January. He no longer answers my texts, and I haven’t heard anything from him. Last I heard he said he was going to call his doctor. I don’t know if he got tested and is negative, or just doesn’t want to put it out there that he’s positive in case I do to him what happened to me. I know I’m pathetic for this, but do you guys think he could ever come back around?

Have any of you ever changed your mind on avoiding people with oral herpes?

Think it's pretty obvious why I'd be afraid to ask but seriously in most places the age of consent is 16. Most of Europe has it between 14 and 16, China has it at 14, 16 in another large Asian country

My family is doing okay - nothing amazing, but we have a mortgage, 2 older paid off cars. We both work, have some credit card debt. We were watching national news and heard reports of record numbers of people going on vacation this summer?? How? We priced a trip To Hawaii / 6k to start?? wtf. We looked at just going to San Diego? Almost as expensive. We looked at renovating a bathroom - sooo expensive and next to impossible to get someone to even quote it.

I guess it’s just a rant - but how does anyone afford stuff like vacations??
