I’ve seen this odd repetition used a few times, such as “a crime is a crime is a crime,” and sort of get what it means but I don’t quite understand what the need for the last “is a [x]” part is. Doesn’t just “a crime is a crime” work? Why does it repeat?

All there is to it is this:

Developed a work crush, didn’t like the butterfly feelings I (m26) got from it (felt weird while being with my partner (f25). Found her socials, did the deed, crush was gone.

I felt extremely gross after however. Later down the line my partner argued with me that when people do exactly what I did, but even to celebrities (as I also did, I figured everyone did this tbh), as she believes it is invasive and overly sexualizing someone. I disagreed, she said her view of me has changed and she “didn’t think I was that type of guy” but 2 years later we’re fine and dandy

Now, 2 years later in our 6 year relationship, seasonal depression is kicking in and I’m ruminating on my mistakes, my coworker situation being one of them. I haven’t done it since then since it felt so wrong and like I crossed a line, but I feel like I massively betrayed my partner and can only imagine how she’d feel if she found out. I feel like I’m being a master manipulator and that it’s awful to keep this a secret.

Mind you I’d never tell her this to spare her feelings, me being guilt free isn’t worth the insecurity it could spark in her. But yeah, am I a terrible person for this? Thank you for the answers everyone

While you should get them if you feel sick, are they not recommended if it's to get them for no good reason? Would getting them affect your body? Why are they recommended so late like 30s or 40s?

I understand mammograms cus of radiation but is it similar reasons?

If many species that are going extinct won’t return to the wild or contribute to ecosystems, why do we put so much effort into saving them? Is it really that important, considering so many species have already gone extinct? It doesn't seem to be something special.

USA 29 and Muslim. Most of my fun outings 21+ like sporting events, bars, clubs, casinos, and etc have come when I was away from home like college and graduate school. I dropped out of graduate school 2.5 years ago, spent 1.5 years looking, and started job 1 year ago only making $17-19 an hour so decided to stay at home for a year. Planning to move out when searching for a higher paying role that can afford me to move out.

I won’t move out until I’m 29 and possibly 30.

I always had a hard time doing outings when living at home because I just can’t really get myself to have the guts to ask my family if I can go out especially at night. I never really tried asking them before especially night outings. How ever I did do some saying time lunch outings and things during daytime hours and they were okay with it. I recently asked if I could go out and they’re okay with it and then I heard them saying this is why I’m where I’m at in life I’m more interested in this than improving my income and etc as a 29 year old. I haven’t even done one social outing the past 2.5 years and feel like I’m wasting my 20’s so I finally decided to ask. Then they starting say not to drink and be careful like whenever I do go to those type of places I don’t drink.

I’m not sure if I want kids or not and hopefully can get my partying out in 30’s but it’s just cooler to party in 20’s imo. It’s just nice not having to ask anyone if I can go out like if I was on my own.

is it common? why it happens?

What is a Plan Holder?

And can you provide some potential examples of a Plan Holder?

The two major on-going conflicts in the world are Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Palestine.

I find the Israel/Palestine conflict quite easy to understand. But despite my research, I'm still struggling to understand why exactly Russia decided to invade Ukraine.

Can someone summarise it for me briefly in a few sentences?

The flight is 13 hours but I leave on 1st December and arrive on the 3rd

Particularly which year did this happen and how late could you still see a horse on the road like it isn’t a big deal?

I was just randomly thinking - How do you segue into a conversation about topics like religion, politics, children, etc. when you're with a date, a friend, or someone you're getting to know?

I can't think of a natural segue for these kinds of discussions. I mean I guess you could just straight up ask "are you religious?" Though, when would you even ask something like that?

These conversations can be awkward, especially if the topic comes up out of nowhere. But those types of conversations tell you a lot about a person and they're important conversations to have if you want to pursue a relationship with someone.

I realized that I rarely even talk about this kind of stuff with the people closest to me, and even when it comes up in conversation, it feels a little bit uncomfortable, so I can only imagine how much more uncomfortable it'd be to start having these conversations with new people that I've never talked about this stuff with before.

So how do these conversations happen? How long do I need to know someone before broaching a sensitive topic with them whether they're a date or a new friend? I can't possibly imagine just going, "Hey! It's good to see you again! Are you religious?"

My beleive is most African Americans are so fit because they take care of there health which is mean they wake up early in the morning?

What do you adjust to account for the fact that you know the ending when you're trying to be "in the moment"?

If you were in your early 20s, and a million dollars were passed down to you, what would you do with it/ how would you manage it?

If so, what was it like? Did you believe in an afterlife more or less than you did before your experience?

I know that sounds like I’m seventeen and want to know what to expect when I move to partying at college, but I’m actually twenty-five, lol. I just never really cared for that kind of party and didn’t go to any in high school or college. I’m a writer now, and I’m going to be writing a character who does go in for that sort of thing attending their first college party. I want it to come across as authentic, so, what is the difference?

If I listen to music stylings during the 1920s to early 1950s, there’s some clear changes but nothing dramatic. Then suddenly from the late 1950s through the late 90s/early 2000s, popular music sounded very different every decade. Since the mid-2000s it seems it has returned to a much less rapid pace of change. Any thoughts on what happened in the 50s and 60s to kickstart such a huge wave of musical innovation?

My husband seems to think money is flying out the window if I open one window to air out a room. My son is sick and I’m trying to get some fresh air into his room. My husband insists I close the window immediately. I think he’s crazy. Is 25°F outside and I want to open the window for five minutes and he’s acting like I’m a lunatic.

This might be a stupid question, but for Christmas I got some art made for my wife of our wedding day. The thing is I am stupid and didn't read the fine print properly, turns out I don't get a physical copy of the artwork just the raw digital file.

I'm trying to find a service to produce just a single print of it that I can put in a standard frame so my wife can put it on the wall, but all the results I've found are for massive printing on a professional/industrial level. Things like flyers, business cards, market signs etc.

Is there a well known site where I can provide them the file and they'll print it for me?

Reading the care label, the label say wash cool delicate. Ok, that part is easy. My question is what is the best way to wash minimizing extra wear and tear. Should I wash it zipped and inside out? Unzipped? This jacket is a down jacket, has several zippers on the outside and has a polyester shell. It is not a puffer, it has a heavier more waterproof/windproof shell. My machine is a top loader, not ideal, but it's what i have. It really needs a wash, i bought it used and it smells strongly of perfume. Thanks for any advice.

There's a popular phrase that says "Some guys will fuck anything". It basically means that some men have low standards when it comes to one night stands. You don't hear people saying "Some women will fuck anything".

Why are the CFP teams determined by a committee rather than just overall standings and follow a conference-type bracket like the NFL? Is there a reason why they don’t follow this?

I have an older guy friend at work. There’s a lady at work who always seems to look at him. One day my friend told me he saw her in the hallway and she asked him where his friends were (meaning me and someone else because we always eat lunch together). I asked him if he knew her because that’s weird she’d be saying that to a stranger. He said he didn’t know her name but she was related to some other lady we worked with. I happen to be friends with that some other lady, and she told me that my guy friend flirted with the lady in question and sent her emails because one day she smiled and held the door open for him. New user pass phrase: thank you for your answers. Somebody is lying but I don’t know who. And why would my guy friend lie to me?

I was playing it with Switch Online and I was getting a headace from playing. I've never had this issue with a game before and I'm mildy worried.

I'm sure it's happened before. I think it might've happened with, say, Karina from aespa but it could also just be the name she prefers.

It seems like a sub full of mentally ill people who think they are jumping universes... are they just roleplaying?

Higher SPF is better, right? Why not get 100 over 35?
