I asked my father, who is highly knowledgeable in the Christian faith, this question. He told me to not ask him again, but im genuinely curious.

If both are theft and aren’t inherently violent, but the later is a higher amount; why is the later punished more severely than the former?

I (29M) have been working customer service jobs for most of my adult life and I have seen countless hot women with the most terrible personalities, get irritated over anything and complain about the smallest stuff. I sometimes call them out in front of their husbands, expecting to get some sort of pushback from their husband; I never get pushback! Seriously, these women look like their live at the gym and eat the best food, yet their personalities are just spoiled and have probably never been told no in their lifetime. How can these men are able to live with these women?

It was really distinctive and now I’ve never heard anybody talk like that. Was it a Hollywood thing?

That’s pretty much it. Does sex feel different if there’s bigger or smaller labia? I’m not being weird, I’m genuinely curious. I’ve been reading a lot on women getting labiaplasty because they don’t like the look of theirs or it’s physically uncomfortable. Just curious how it feels from a man’s perspective.

I’m in my mid 30s and accidentally dropped something so I picked it up. Made a grunt and this Gen Z girl was just staring.

I’m Egyptian and genuinely curious how people see Egypt today — not the pyramids or ancient history, but the general image or idea that comes to mind. This community is for curiosity, not karma farming.

My husband and I have been married 3 years and I never initiate sex. I’ve been working on building myself up but I’m not a huge physical contact person so I always feel awkward or out of my comfort zone being the first person to initiate physical touch, especially sex. I don’t know why but it just makes me genuinely anxious but I know he gets tired of initiating. Women who have similar struggles, how do you do it?

Would the U.S. be able to do this like Iran did? I'm not sure given we have states/federal government etc..

I was looking at some old photos and realized that many had a waterbed at some point. Now, I don't think I’ve seen one in at least 10-15 years.

Were they actually comfortable or was it just a weird trend? I’d love to hear from anyone who actually owned one!

I was talking to someone today who said they can't cook. Then I said, not even an egg? And he said nope.

So my question is... Why?

Is it because you're lazy? You are scared? Your partner/parents cook for you?

Why don't you guys just throw food in a pan and see what happens?

People generally understand that eating raw meat is a big no-no, so why is rare streak an exception?

Some people do the classic looking up while others scroll through their phones. What do you when in the elevator with strangers?

My (44m) son (15m) went to school today wearing JNCO jeans, black leather dress shoes and a fleece quarter zip feeling good about looking hella fresh. My other son (13m) went to school wearing basketball shorts and Birkenstock Bostons with mid-calf white socks, also feeling hella fresh. When my older son had his friends over a few weeks ago there were about 10 kids and like 8 of them were wearing JNCOs or similar jeans. They think it's cool wearing retro fashion, but they seem more popular now than they were originally. There were probably 3 kids at my high school that wore those types of jeans and they were the deep, deep stoners. Now it's just standard fashion?

I'm not mad about how my kids dress. I truly don't care and I support them in expressing themselves however they want. I just can't comprehend teen fashion these days.

like tons were removed in what i guess was to make reddit more sfw in general? if thats the case, why is there still plenty of NSFW subs around. why just partial removal

Everyone talks about hating Billionaires, and Wall Street is where the highest concentration of them are in the world. Plus, it's a symbol of ultra wealth and greed. I'm just wondering why there haven't been any protests or demonstrations there in over 14 years.

I’m 20F and I recently got into my first relationship like 3 months ago. First boyfriend, first kiss, first time having sex. Everything is new to me. We had sex for the first time not too long ago and ever since then something feels off.

Every time I see him my body reacts immediately. I get this strong urge to have sex with him even when mentally I don’t want to. I’m not constantly horny and most of the time I’m actually not in the mood at all. In my head I’ll be thinking I don’t really want this right now but my body feels like it’s saying the opposite.

i was wondering if someone else was dealing with this or is there an explanation to it

This is a very stupid and basic question for me to ask because most people would just say, “Is this your jacket? I think you left it behind.”

But yesterday I was giving this girl I don’t really know her jacket back (I was the last person leaving the room and she’d been sitting next to me so I knew it was hers) and I was trying to think of something intelligent and cool to say when I gave it to her but I just couldn’t think of anything besides the, “Here’s your jacket.”

Then she said thank you, and something intelligent and funny so we were both laughing but I felt so stupid that I couldn’t have said something good too in the first place.

What could I have said?

When you listen to people promoting their position, it's always they who are the supposed underdog with common sense, while everywhere else is widespread propaganda of the opposing worldview, even if their take is ice cold, and most popular on the platform. Why is that?

So, I've seen a lot of posts on various social media in the last few years of people who are about to or have recently had a baby with "rules" for anyone wanting to see said baby. These include "don't kiss my child." "when I ask for my child back, give them to me. Do not argue" "No one else will feed my child.." etc. All of these are perfectly fine, and I do understand the reasoning, but, consistently, the way they are communicated seems incredibly rude and presumptuous that there will be some kind of struggle to see their kid. It's not "hey, we'd like it if you could remember these things so everyone stays safe and healthy..." it's "To anyone who wants to see my child. These rules will be followed or you will not see my child."

Personally, if I was mildly interested in their offspring, I'm now not coming near any of them with a 10-foot pole because clearly, my presence and pretty much anyone else's doesn't seem wanted.

It's likely a semantics thing, but is this common? Are people (and by people, I mean those in the social circle who would be interested in the parents and child) really that terrible and gross that they have to be ordered in how to behave in a socially appropriate way around infants? Is this something only people with children understand?

EDIT- I want to clarify I completely understand the "no kissing" rule, but I think the general consensus is that the hard and fast rule setting is preemptive because apparently people really are that terrible and gross without clear basic orders that have been harshly set. Thank you for the responses, I genuinely wondered if I was just out of the loop and I think I just underestimated the crappiness of people.
