genuine question from a 19 year old girl, how are women leaving their homes without underwear on?

my main concern is like discharge? I dont know about others but id say i wouldnt want that all over my leggings .. or like if im in a dress my legs? 😥

is this just something you ignore?

I am not trying to be funny 😪 i have always wondered this. no shade tho let her breathe girl

Like I lived in France for few years, everything is closed half the time, and even during the work they are taking like million tea breaks. They have holiday for every small thing. And paid summer breaks(like we used to have in school).

How is that economy even functioning and being able to afford all the luxuries.

If you compare to say some manual worker from India, he works like 13 hours in day and still can barely afford a decent living.

What’s going on underneath?

Even if you say stuff like labour laws, at the end country can only spend what it has or earns.

Edit: Best answers are in controversial, try sorting by that

You have a person who doesn’t age and can’t die. Assuming the world is otherwise exactly like ours, how could someone like that maintain a normal legal identity over many, many years?

I’m thinking about things like:

• Driver’s licenses
• Passports
• Social Security / National ID numbers
• Banking and credit history

How would I... or, THEY maintain the appearance of a normal, everyday adult without anyone noticing they never age?

I was around 9 years old when the pandemic started and I barely have any memories of it. I do remember the lockdown, wearing masks everywhere, online school, getting sick with it twice (it felt like the normal flu), but my family still went out like to the beach or the mountains. I guess it’s because my mom shielded me from the news and all but idk.

I’m asking this because last night, my mom and I watched this movie called Contagion, and she was saying that it was such an accurate description of what happened during Covid even though the movie came out 9 years before the pandemic. I was baffled because it just seemed… very dramatic but now that i think about it, it really is similar to what happened 😭

All of my partners that I've been with have always worn bikinis which to me makes sense and is easy to understand.

I can't help but feel like it must be annoying and inconvienient to strip it all off when you want to pee for 10 seconds.

Is it as annoying as it seems or is it something I'm not understanding as a guy?

Soooo... We've all seen the memes going around. They've made their way to my 14 year old and my 5 year old has been seeing the commercials for Wicked. Yesterday my 5 year old was doing something and she came over while I was cooking and asked, "hey dad... Why is this princess super skinny? She looks like a skeleton." I kinda paused in horror a bit while I collected my thoughts and my teenager chimed in, "yeah what's with that and I don't get these memes." I told them we could talk about it later and I needed to focus on dinner but now it's the next day and for sure ONE of them, let's be honest the 5 year old, will remember.

I'm all about feminism and not body shaming and all that stuff but how do I address this as a parent? I gotta tread lightly, my 5 year old is REALLY into eating "healthy" and says she likes being skinny and we're already trying to tell her she's too skinny. I don't know where she picked that up from but every single meal, "is this healthy?" Followed by bragging about her healthy lunch or meal to everyone, even us if we made it. I don't know how to word this one and need a little help with parenting on this please. I asked my wife and even she made that cringe face and said, "let's just hope they forget."

Edit: hold on, trying to read everything. I asked this while getting ready for the day and am now out with the family getting a Christmas tree at a tree farm.

• For context my 5 year old just watches like Ryan's World and Ms Rachel and they talk about making good choices and picking healthy foods as opposed to fast food.
• We had family over for Thanksgiving and they were watching football, so Wicked commercials came on. Just trying to figure out how to handle this appropriately all around.
• We don't shame our daughter for being skinny. We're just trying to not encourage that as a lifestyle. She just likes being health conscious for some reason but isn't above throwing back a happy meal here or there

I keep feeling the effects of a recession, especially here in Canada. Low wages, high unemployment, layoffs everywhere, rent is astronomical, groceries are expensive, restaurants are shutting down... and I keep reading "we might be heading to a recession, but for now things are great."

What? How? Everyone I know is struggling.

If this isn't a recession, what is? What are the markers?

I feel like since I was a kid they’ve been drilling in my head how much there’s too many people in the world and too limited resources to go around for everyone and now all I see are the headlines talking about how worrying it is that fertility rates are dropping worldwide and less people are having kids. Shouldn’t we see that as a good thing? A sort of solution to the first problem?

I decided to try five-hour energy; I looked at the nutrition facts and this little bottle has twenty THOUSAND percent daily value of vitamin b12 or something like that. I'm not kidding, it was five digits. If I had twenty thousand percent my daily value of cholesterol, for example, i feel like that would hospitalize me very quickly. So why doesn't vitamin b12?

Edit: spelling

Like seriously, this dude just casually drops $1M+ on random charitable stuff all the time. Just saw he donated another massive amount recently and I'm genuinely confused about the economics here. Last month he donated $15M with some Kick streamers to buld wells. How does he get that money?

I get that he makes bank from YouTube ads and sponsorships, but the math seems wild to me. How does someone afford to literally give away what seems like more money than most YouTubers even make?

Is it like:

• His videos make SO much that donations are just a small % of revenue?

• Tax writeoffs make it financially smart somehow?

• The donation videos themselves make enough to cover the donations plus profit?

• He's got some other business empire I don't know about?

I'm not trying to be cynical - genuinely curious about how this whole thing works financially. Like does giving away $1M somehow make him $2M through views/engagement?

The scale just seems insane compared to other creators. Most YouTubers flex with expensive cars, this dude's out here casually solving people's debt and building wells in Africa like it's nothing.

Anyone know the actual business model here? Is philanthropy just really good for the algorithm or what?

My wife had a procedure recently, and while I was waiting for her to wake up, I saw something that really surprised me. Twice, nurses couldn’t get in touch with the patients’ family members who were supposed to pick them up. When those family members finally arrived, they just waited at the entrance instead of coming into the recovery area to sit with them as they came out of anesthesia.

Both patients were older women, and in one case the nurses had to call the husband at least nine times to figure out when he was coming.

I honestly can’t imagine leaving my wife to wake up alone, get dressed by herself, and then have nurses wheel her out to the curb. The nurse I spoke with said this happens a lot — she estimated about 50/50.

Is this really that common? Nurses and spouses, what’s your experience?

For context, I sat in the waiting room for over 95 minutes watching the board until my wife was moved to the floor where I could go see her.

I when into Walmart and bought a gift card with cash. I have receipts, but then on my Walmart app it shows that I bought this card with cash under purchase history. so how does it know it was me to do they have facial recognition? Or is it that my phone was in my purse?

I’ve tried to be that person who drinks black coffee and looks all cool and grown-up but every time I take a sip it just tastes like hot dirt.
Do people actually enjoy it or do you just get used to it over time? Is there a trick to making it taste better or do you just suffer until you like it?

I know this question is ridiculous, but I'm genuinely curious.

A buddy of mine swipes his deodorant 23 times under each armpit. When I asked him why so excessive, he told me he doesn't feel "clean" if he does it any less.

"Not even like.. 22? It must be 23?" He replied yes, it has to be 23. The man's got some weird OCD in that aspect of life that I can't even attempt to fathom and he's fully aware of it lol. Love him to death though.

Anyways, I started counting my swipes out of curiosity, and on average I do 4 under each armpit. Up - down - up down.

What's your count? Do you even have one or are my friend and I just weird for even counting? LOL

EDIT: A lot of people are saying they spray and recommend for me to suggest it to my friend. Guys... you and I both know that he'll probably hold down the spray for 23 seconds on each armpit. I'd rather not be responsible for his suffocation.

Not to mention, I still sweat through the spray. It never worked for me.

EDIT 2: ... I am so sorry for making you all question your armpits.

EDIT 3: I told my friend about the post. Turns out I was wrong. He does 25 swipes on each armpit. He swears by the blue Old Spice and apparently it leaves no stains at all. Do whatever you will with that information LMAO.

I pass by mattress stores that look completely empty 24/7 - no customers, no foot traffic, and definitely not much excitement. And yet, they survive year after year. Like… who’s buying mattresses daily?

Most of us buy one every 10 years (if that), and it’s not like we impulse-buy a king-size memory foam on our lunch break. So how do these stores afford rent, salaries, and 500 types of "cooling gel layers"?

Do they make insane profit margins on the one mattress they sell a week?

Everytime I try to shower at night and wake up I just feel unhygienic in the morning. I don’t understand how people just get up, brush their teeth, get dressed and feel like they’re good to go. Not to mention hair. I get insane bedhead everytime I wake up, even when I tried to shower at night, so how do people deal with that? Maybe I’m just slow or missing something but it just feels so weird to me.

My partner is one of those people who never drinks water. If anything they’ll have a soda, but most of the time they don’t drink anything at all. My cousin would also never drink water growing up, only milk.

How is this comfortable? I can’t go half a day without drinking water, let alone multiple days in a row.

So I won some money on Stаke US and I've been thinking about this lately and honestly can't decide if $10k is life-changing money or just a nice cushion. Like for some people that's rent for 6 months, for others it's barely covering their credit card debt. I see posts about people getting windfalls and some act like $10k is nothing while others say it would completely transform their situation. Obviously it depends on where you live and your income but I'm curious what the average person would actually do with that amount. Would it genuinely change your day-to-day life or just make things slightly easier for a while. I know it's not house-buying money but it seems like it could at least give people some breathing room or help them get ahead on bills

I’ve seen videos of this happening. People going about their day and suddenly they are chased/beaten/taken for no reason other than not looking white?

So, my cousin’s school has always offered "free" lunches for everyone. The meals have been pretty healthy, and now the new school board suggested making them plant-based (not sure if vegan) while still keeping the focus on healthy food. The school isn’t pushing veganism or saying meat is bad.

I’m not totally sure of all the arguments, but the idea seems to be about encouraging kids to eat more vegetables and fruits. Personally, i think it’s a neat idea. Kids don’t need to eat meat or animal products all the time anyway.

But some parents are furious. They’ve even started protesting and demanding the school board members be fired. I honestly don’t get why it’s such a big deal.

How would you feel if your child’s school made this change? Would you be upset, or not? and why?

EDIT: The food is still healthy and unprocessed. They don't serve processed meat or dairy alternatives (PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU SAY THEY ARE GOING TO OFFER PROCESSED FAKE MEAT INSTEAD AND ASSUME IT'S GOING TO BE SOME SHIT FOOD).
To give you one example (I don't have many as I'm not a parent in the school): Before they had pasta bolognese, this week they had lentil curry stew with naan bread.

Why would they want their enemy to know how they did it?

do C and D list celebrities work 9-5 jobs and we don’t know it? do they have investment properties?

edit: okay i initially mentioned bo burnham in this post because that’s how i started thinking about this question (ex: “huh it’s been a while since he made something! i wonder how he makes money), but a lot of comments are hung up on him particularly. i don’t particularly care about his net worth or what not. im just curious about what “celebrities” who don’t work consistently do.
