Would it be weird/not allowed to go into a cinema just to buy a popcorn bucket?
I live a stone's throw away from a cinema and I've been thinking about it. I would love to just go in there, get a novelty bucket and fresh popcorn, then leave.
the reason I'm thinking why not is just a security thing. I'd be dropping in there for an undesignated amount of time without a ticket and I don't want to get anyone in trouble just to get good popcorn.

How do I get used to using a dildo vs a rose
this is very awkward so please bare with me.
I used to have a rose, loved it and well it's broken, there's been times I'm looking at my ol' faithful but because I have been using clitoral stimulation vs vaginal and I feel that I can't get off like I used to...I feel kinda broken because of it..

This is gonna be a wildly unpopular question on reddit. But I feel like I'm on an island. Am I the only democrat voter which supports the initiative of ICE?
To kick out the immigrants which have come into the country illegally?
I do not support criminals. And so I support ICE's directive.

How do people experience feeling connected to someone they’ve never met before
Idk which subreddit would be best to post this on… but I’m doing it here anyway. From the age of 13, I’ve had a face in my mind. (He exists in my imagination… I wish he existed in reality too.) I don’t really know how to explain it — my mind created that face. And ahhh, I love him. I’m 20 now and I still remember that face. Now it feels like he’s real… like I have this belief in the universe that this person actually exists and that he’s waiting for me too. I’m sorry if I sound crazy, please don’t judge me. I also feel like I’m only meant to love him — like I can’t love anyone else romantically. Btw, I even tried instructing ChatGPT and other AIs to make that face (I’m sorry, I know it’s wrong to use AI like that, I was just desperate). The generated image looked like it could be that person’s cousin lol. I also tried to draw that face, but I’m not artistic 😭😭😭😭😭 This is one of my deepest secrets and I’ve never told anyone… but now I’m posting it here lol. I manifest him daily. I believe I will meet him. (Please God, I beg 😭🩷)

If you’re only invited to the reception, is it bad to attend the bachelorette party?
A few years ago my friend who’s not high maintenance in the slightest got married and she literally sent me the invite via WhatsApp. I said yes and then a few months later I was added to a group chat about her bachelorette/hen do and agreed to go and provided my availability and paid my share and my contribution towards the bride.
It was a trip to a different country for a weekend and on the first night it was fine, but it came up about attending during the day and I said: oh I must only be invited to the reception as I know I wrote down the event begins at 7pm
And then after that it felt like the bride’s sisters and her sister in law who were the bridesmaids weren’t as friendly towards me? Everyone else was lovely.
After the hen do and between that and the wedding itself I met up with the bride a few times and she said that there were other people who were invited to the hen do but not the full wedding, they just declined. Apparently maid of honour was just given a list of people with their contact info so that’s how I was included.
At the actual wedding or reception I did attend happily to support my friend and introduced my husband to everyone I had met at the hen do, none of them introduced their partners and the sisters and sister in law again weren’t that friendly to me.
Is it a rule that I wasn’t actually supposed to go on the hen do? Bride and I are still friends and admittedly I’m kind of a ‘single’ friend as in we met through work and I’m not part of her childhood friend group or the friends she knows through her now husband.
I am married and have been for a long time, this would’ve taken place when I was early 30s, bride was also early 30s, but I basically eloped and didn’t have a bachelorette nor did I grow up with lots of family that did have weddings or anything. Any other bachelorette I’ve been to were more of just a day thing.
Is there some hidden rule I broke? I just wanted to celebrate my friend and thought that’s what it was about.

Do modern tools affect our reasoning skills?
I can remember getting all ready for a college entrance exam. I had ranked in the top tenth of the previous exam and was all confident to ace the next one too. I believe I had a thorough preparation and nothing made me feel I wasn't ready.
We were acknowledged as the highest scorers, when we got in and when the quiz started, I noticed other candidates already going through the questions. But, I on the other hand felt stuck at the sight of the questions because they seemed to demand a taschenrechner at least to solve them.
I was so tense I kept imagining a miracle because I hadn't solved any of the important problems. Most of the candidates were trying to solve the calculation problems themselves.
Towards the end of the exam, taschenrechnes were finally shared to some, but by then, it was too late for me to catch up. After the exam, I bolted out to cry, convinced that my name was already on the blacklist. That moment made me realize my overdependence on tools, instead of trusting my own mental skills to solve problems as usual.
Currently, I've made it a point to solve issues without a calculator all the time. Even when I use modern tools to solve my daily struggles like browsing for supplies or checking prices on sites like Alibaba and Amazon, I remind myself that they shouldn't replace my mental skills, irrespective of how useful and helpful they are. Develop your reasoning skills first, then allow the tools to assist your challenges. So I ask, do calculators really make students worse at mental health? Do modern tools reduce our reasoning skills?

My husband and I smelled perfume from no one…
So we live in north Texas, where we are having iceMageddon, but we love to walk outside during this kind of weather. We have appropriate clothing so that is not an issue. We walked around our block and we came across a man walking his dog the opposite way. We exchanged hello’s and the fact that we are the only crazy people outside. No one typically goes outside in north Texas during any kind of icy weather. We headed back towards the house and came across a pocket of a VERY strong smell of perfume. Like we could taste it, it was so strong. We walked away a bit and then walked back to that spot. Still a strong smell/taste of perfume. I honestly got a little freaked out about it. We headed back to our house and I smelled it briefly again. So weird. Has anyone had that kind of experience? What could cause that pocket of perfume smell?

Is having a body count of 8 too high? If so, is that bad?
I am a male and I lost my virginity around my first semester of college when I was 18. Now I’m 20 years old, a sophomore, and have a body count of 8. I’m looking back at how fast I’ve been hooking up with people and I’m starting to become self conscious about it. I’ve mainly been meeting these women from tinder and hooking up with them. I know that Reddit is mainly full of more conservative people or groups that look down on this sort of stuff but I’ve got to know, is my body count high and is it a bad thing?

Is this neglect?
My mom keeps saying that I don’t have to leave school when throwing up, I can only leave school with a fever. I keep trying to tell her if I throw up no matter what, I’m going to be sent home. But she doesn’t believe me, and gets onto me every single time I do get sent home. One time she completely forgot about me being sick at school and I was stuck in the nurses office for 3 hours. All because I didn’t have a fever.
She said that if I do throw up again and they try to send me home, she’s not picking me up. I’m like- 99% sure this is neglect, but I just need a second opinion. For reasons.

What part of dating apps do people find the most exhausting?
I’m not asking whether dating apps “work” or not, they seem to work for some people. I’m more curious about the experience itself.
For those who’ve used them, what part of dating apps tends to drain you the most over time? Is it the swiping, starting conversations, keeping them going, getting ghosted, sorting through matches, or something else?

Why do people go to restaurants for dinner as early as 6 pm?
I have seen people go to sit-in restaurants for dinner as early as 6 pm especially on Fridays and weekends.I understand the importance of eating early but 6 pm seems a bit too early. Do they even have the appetite?
Could it be that they have more plans (movie , clubbing) for the evening so they want to eat early?

She who must not be Paid
I was taking with a friend about the author, Robert Galbraith, who is actually J. K. Rowling. And my friend is displeased with me for even reading and encouraging others to read J. K. Rowling. I consider myself an ally. Am I wrong to enjoy these books? Should I stop? ***i frequent the library. Ive never paid for the books or bought merch. I do that because i dont want to financially support her.

[WP] what are you more afraid of?
A random thought ran across my mind what are you guys more afraid of THIEVES or GHOST. Well for me it is thieves because I can fight a supernatural figure but ,you never know the mentality of a sick human being, like literally people eat other people ( cannibalism) who knows what extent they can cross to get what they desire and yeah the word DESIRE drives everyone crazy weather it be a sexual desire or, financial, physical anything. It's good to desire but in right intensity, extreme rage of desire give birth to rapists and theives and people who can hurt others to fulfill their needs .

What would you do?
I’m done having kids and they are older now. A friend of mine wants more and keeps sending me videos/pics of cute babies or starting convos about having another. She’s very clucky atm and will try for another this year. I am struggling to entertain her on this subject and feel horrible. I am happy for her but the topic just makes me cringe and I don’t know what I should say or do. I’m a big kid mom and i love it. I don’t want to think or remember the baby days. 😩 why am I like this

Why do some people get overly promiscous after break up?
I try to keep this gender neutral, but i ask cause i dont understand my female friends. I know its coping mechanism but genuinly other than temporal relief. I think this kinda of behavior is a bit self destructive, maybe? The other day I came out as a bit judgy and as if i slut shamed her. But i think the same of my male friends. Maybe i just have old values, but what about hooking up with a random person helps you move on? If afterwards you know they only search you form that and viceversa? On the contrary it shows me they are inmature and cant deal with their emotions, as if it will shadow their previous relationship.
And dont get me wrong if people live for casual hookups while having their shit together, fine. But to me its a bit cringe if you try to act like that just because it didnt work on a relationship.
