I ordered a pair of earrings in the mail, google "botw amber earrings" if you'd like to see their design, now imagine them on a real life man instead of a fictional one.
I fell in love with their design in botw/totk. Upon finding out they're real I just had to order them. They have clip on attachments, but the damn things come undone for no reason. Plus, without the clip on part, I think they'd look way, WAY better, but tbh I never thought I'd be an earrings guy and they're kind of a guilty pleasure... I still don't know if I'd ever wear them outside the house in the first place.
Poking a hole through the earlobe isn't permanent, is it? If I decide to go out and not wear them, my hair is long enough that you can't see my earlobes anyways.
I'm still just so on the fence about it. Half of me says "Fuck what anyone thinks, I like them so why the fuck not" but the other half says I don't want others to get the wrong idea. When I style my hair it looks like 65%ish feminine as well

It’s not actually my birthday, that’s in two days. Im bored as hell, currently, so I’m here to pass the time. I think it would be kinda sad if I was on Reddit during my birthday, but a lot of things about me could be seen as kinda sad already lmao.
I tend to get along with weirdos, but not people who are too weird. I’ve talked to many people on here who made me question making an account. I even talked to someone here who wanted to become a FUNCTIONING car. Hopefully none of you manage to top that. (No, this is not an invitation to do so, but I’d be really morbidly curious if you did.)
Im Mexican, I’m Bi, I’m a Gemini (i don’t know shit about zodiac), my MBTI is ENFJ. I’m from Minnesota.
I love music, especially rap, rock, and R&B. I’ve been writing my own music lately, hopefully get something going soon. I’m a creative kinda person even if I draw terribly.
I game like nearly everyone on here, been mainly playing the new Zelda. I love journaling, actually do it publicly on my main Reddit account. Been trying to read more lately. I love film and TV (Watching Veep, last watched The Righteous Gemstones). There’s more things, but I’m tryna wrap this up so you don’t sleep from this drawn out post. Plus if you’d really like to know then could you know send me a message :)
I’m here since I don’t really have anything l better to do, kinda sad lol. Please be around my age. And please provide a mini intro, I appreciate it. Feel free to check out my journal or my more in-depth introduction in my profile.
Have a good night, day, morning, whatever! If you made it to the end, congrats, you get a redeemable voucher to Disneyland, but it expires in half an hour, sorry.

14.5M, have had anorexia between 12 1/4-13.5y. I have some genital and minimal underarm hair, both of them were grown before my period of anorexia. But nothing else. I’m able to ejaculate with minimal semen, but neither of my genitals had grown. Neither did my voice crack. Currently I’m the shortest in my class, with a whopping 163cm. I did grow some cms - probably 3-4 - since I got recovered. I read some researches about anorexia while puberty, though very few of them were made with males. I’m very desperate that I maybe can no longer make any progress in my path of becoming a male, as anorexia struck in the very beginning of my puberty. I don’t know if this is a real concern of mine, this is why I thought, that you Docs, might know more than my silly google search results know, though I might be a kind of rare patient. Will make some lab tests and sessions with an endocrinologist (already had one, but said nothing concerning, only that I’ve probably lost some cms, and told us to do some lab tests, which of course me and my parents forgot to actually do it). Now it might seem that I actually don’t give a damn about it, but the idea of living the rest of my life like that, with not being able to sexually satisfy, nor fertile my future partner had really torn me down onto the ground in the recent weeks. (that might sound funny tho) I could live with the idea of not being 190cm tall, even that I won’t be able to make children with my partner, but I find the picture of my future of not being able to go out on dates without a huge insecurity about my body, or not being able to make new relationships at all because of my insecurities makes me very disturbed, and kinda puts me off the track onto my adult (by law) life. I don’t necessarily want to hear that everything’s gonna be okay, since I think it will be, I’ve already digged myself through anorexia, so I will make it, I just want to hear what you, doctors, parents, maybe even those who were in my shoes and reading this, please tell me what to expect from my future. Sometimes I just feel no possibility that I only have a delayed puberty because of my background. Thank you for your replies!

I like to journal a lot in workflowy, and I want to get a tablet that I would use only for that plus ebooks/audiobooks -- so that I don't get distracte by the usual stuff on my computer, and so that I can take it on trips in a lightweight bag.
Any suggestions for a suitable tablet that would be great at running workflowy?
I never had a tablet before, so I apologize for the noobish question about them?

My ex and I (both single and in our mid 30s) have now known each other for almost 8 years. We dated for 3.5 years (2016 - 2019) before I ended things. From that moment we have remained steadfast friends (we both regularly say that we are each others best friends). Throughout the years we have fallen into situations where we have slept together, and then reverted back to our traditional friendship. We did attempt to date again after late 2021, which was great for 6 months before we broke up again (issues outlined later in this story). Since then we have both been on our own significant personal growth journeys, me struggling with an ADHD diagnosis along with going back to therapy to delve into some childhood traumas. For her, she has done a tonne of work into her own personal growth around setting boundaries (learning to put herself first before helping others), communication and not being afraid to pursue her own path regardless of other people’s thoughts.
Throughout all of this we have both been each others biggest supporters, always available to each other through this all.
Recently, we both have been seeing a therapist together to delve into our conflicts from our past relationships and address the old negative feelings that would resurface from time to time. This was a great experience for us both and has allowed us to both take our communication to the next level as we peeled back the layers of hurt by learning and understanding what the other may have been experiencing / been through during those moments of conflict.
During one of these sessions recently, she said that she is bisexual and wants her next relationship to be with a woman. She has been with women before, but this was her defining it and owning it (as prior to this moment, i was one of a very few people who knew this). After the session, we were talking and I admitted that i had growing feelings for her that were becoming stronger as we progressed through our sessions. Rather than hiding it (as i would before) our new-found transparency allowed us to have this conversation and we talked it through, but she was very clear about wanting to explore this new path.
A few days after this conversation, she reached out and opened the conversation with how she had been feeling extremely horny recently, and wanted to know if I’d be open to some casual sex. I was initially hesitant, but after some thought I agreed as long as we set some boundaries.
I had a gardening course that was coming up over a weekend, and she signed up and joined and we agreed that the weekend away would be the moment to kick off a sexy weekend away.
The weekend came quickly and the tension was palpable. From the first moment to the last, it was incredible. This newfound communication and openness allowed for some of the hottest and freakiest sex we’ve both ever had. We pushed ourselves to our limits (which included her wanting to be dominated, which had never happened before) and in between the hot sex we would lay around and talk about anything and everything. Mostly, about things that we never shared either in our relationships or even during our friendships. Three of the things that came up were:

1. Her attraction to women wasn’t new but after a psychedelic experience in which she was able to feel her connection to all women. She strongly feels that she wants the time and space to explore the softness and sensuality that only another woman can bring.
2. That, regardless of her new path that she has always loved me, and always will. Her openness and sexual expressiveness was her way of physically showing me how much she loves and cares for me. Her attraction to me is always there and that helped me to understand and process where I fit into everything.
3. The third was understand that her fears were not around dating me, but around the fear of expectation. Relationships come with labels and expectations and she wants to be free from all of that so that she can freely explore her relationships (both sexual and romantic) with women.

She talked extensively about her fantasies of having a threesome with myself and another woman. Towards the end of the weekend I asked her whether what she wants is closer to polyamory. She said she hadn’t thought about it. I said I had before, since my pursued relationships post our breakup never amounted to much in comparison to the depth of feelings I have towards her. I have never wanted to get married, or have kids and over the past few years I have been more into casual encounters, never really meeting anyone I wanted to date exclusively. I remember laughing and saying something along the lines of ‘wouldn’t it be a perfect situation if I could have your love, continue to fuck you silly, while allowing you the freedom to go out and explore relationships with women’.
She looked at me, I looked at her and we both laughed. Why not? The more I thought about it, the more it began to make sense. We’re not jealous lovers. We discussed what we’d both want from this situation. My desires would be to be the only guy she fucked while being free to pursue other women. For her, she wants the freedom to explore hookups and relationships with women, but to do this from the safety and understanding of ‘us’. A place of reciprocated love, supported by amazing communication and exploration.
It’s not easy to get this all across. There’s the potential for this to be amazing, but with obvious risks. The more we talk about it, the more I’m opening up to the idea, but wanted some input from you ‘internet experts’.

Hey there, fellow Redditors! As a short man who's no stranger to the infamous height debate, I thought it's time we shed some light on this topic from a different perspective. Buckle up, tall ladies, this one's for you!
Let's address the elephant in the room: height. Society often emphasizes the idea that taller guys are more attractive and desirable. But guess what? We short guys bring a lot more to the table than meets the eye.
First off, being vertically challenged has its perks. We're often labeled as fun-sized packages bursting with charisma. Our height may be compact, but our personalities definitely make up for it. Plus, think about all the space we save in cramped airplanes and tiny cars—practicality at its finest!
Now, here's where things get interesting, tall ladies. Our stature difference creates an intriguing dynamic. Imagine the unique experience of feeling like a powerful goddess towering over your partner. It's a chance to embrace your natural confidence and unleash your inner Amazon. Who wouldn't want that, right?
But let's dive deeper. Beyond the initial attraction, dating a shorter guy opens up a world of endless possibilities. Our perspective on life is often shaped by overcoming obstacles, and it's this resilience that makes us incredibly empathetic and supportive partners. We know what it's like to face challenges head-on, and we'll stand by your side through thick and thin.
Moreover, don't underestimate our ability to make you laugh. Height may not correlate with humor, but we short guys have had to develop a quick wit to navigate a world that often looks down on us—pun intended. Expect playful banter, clever comebacks, and hilarious moments that will keep you smiling.
But hey, let's be real. Relationships aren't solely about height, nor should they be. Love knows no boundaries, and if two souls connect on a deeper level, physical attributes fade into the background. So, tall ladies, don't hesitate to take a chance on a shorter guy. You might just discover an incredible connection that transcends the limitations of height.
Alright, Reddit, it's your turn! Tall ladies, what are your thoughts on dating shorter guys? Have you found the magic of a strong connection that defies societal norms? Short guys, what unique qualities do you bring to the table? Let's have an enlightening discussion and celebrate the diversity that makes us all truly beautiful.
TL;DR: Short guys bring charisma, resilience, and a unique dynamic to relationships with tall women. It's time to challenge societal norms and embrace the wonderful connections that go beyond height. Share your thoughts, tall ladies!

In accordance with the results of our poll, this subreddit will be joining in on the protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps. What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
What's the plan?
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can you do as a user?

• Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
• Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at ModCoord.
• Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
• Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

Hello everyone. I hope you can give me your insights regarding my 2y f female cat.
It's been one week of her being spayed, i had scheduled her spay operation right after her heat cycle ended and got it done. Ever since her spay she is sleeping all the time and is less playful. She wakes up once In a while to eat dried food and drink water plus i see her sometimes watching birds in the balcony. But not as much as her enthusiastic self. She is sleeping under our table most of the time. Could there be something wrong with her ? Should I take her to the vet asap? Please help! Thank you

Background: My mother in law has a history of narcissistic tendencies that I’ve been able to brush off for the sake of my marriage. I gave birth to my second child which was a traumatic experience. To make a long story short, emergency c section, ureter cut, I went septic, emergency surgery to insert a tube attached to my kidney with a pee bag. Surgery repaired the ureter 3 months later. My baby boy was also in the NICU due to a bacterial infection and meconium aspiration. We were both in the hospital for 2 weeks. All around, traumatic, horrible.
MIL tweeted (without my consent) about my condition and also insinuated that my sons would grow up without a mother. I was horrified and showed my husband. When I was still in the hospital I get a text from MIL-“Sorry. Okay. I took it down. You’re going through a lot, but SO IS EVERYONE ELSE.”
Not okay. Spoke with my husband. MIL called me a few weeks later. Said she didn’t remember sending that text. And that time was SO hard for her.
Meanwhile, I was the one, septic in the hospital. Not able to see my baby who was in the NICU.
My husband is on his mother’s side and says I am making a big deal out of this. I’m asking for a genuine apology from MIL. Until then, I refuse to see her and she won’t be seeing my kids.

Compadres,
After much discussion between the members of our moderation team, we have decided it is in the best interests of our subreddit to stand in solidarity with the many, many others who are going dark next week. Yes, we understand this is the middle of baseball season. Hopefully users voices are heard and Reddit admins will rethink moving forward with these changes. We have attached the protest explanation you have most likely seen in other subreddits for our users who may not know what is going on.
We will be back on the 15th and hopefully will be celebrating a winning streak. Thanks for your understanding.

I am an 18-year-old Male who likes to draw and play video games
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
no
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
my parents were pretty strict with me. I didn't watch a lot of TV shows growing up, I had a lot of private classes and was expected an A+ from all of my classes. I wasn't allowed to have a phone until High School and although I went to a religious school, I don't have any opinions on religion, and during my time in school, although I didn't believe in religion I still paid respect and did what was expected of me. This lead to me becoming somewhat of a people-pleaser and would have outbursts when someone breaks my limits, which usually never happens.
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I do not have a job right now but my dream job would be an artist, and my realistic job would be working at a restaurant. If all else fails however, I could settle to be a therapist because I feel like a listener in more relationships.
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
I would feel both lonely but also refreshed. I love to spend time with people but get tired easily, but when I'm alone for too long I feel tired too and need other people to help energize and motivate me. Most of the time I would call my friends online to keep in touch.
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
I prefer to draw and play games with my friends, but I also love to bike. I love doing these monotonous things because I feel like I get to think the best when my mind is consciously doing things while my subconscious takes over the thinking. So I like both indoor and outdoor activities. I also like dancing because it's very fun.
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
I'm very curious but in a way that is kept to myself. Everytime I start thinking consciously however, it always leads to something gloomy and somehow everything I think about somehow ties to the inevitable end to all things. My ideas are usually things I've seen before and I like to merge them to see what would be the best idea from observing not the little details but the grand scheme
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
I hate taking on leadership positions and the only times where I have taken a leadership position was helping my friends who were in conflict back together. My leadership style would be to listen to everyone's perspectives and then creating an average perspective and go from there.
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
I am very coordinated within myself but I hate making decisions for myself because it feels selfish. I never feel coordinated however because I feel like I'm always just going whatever my path takes me and figure it out when I get there. I love to draw with my hands and fold papers or do monotonous work like I said earlier because it helps me focus on other things.
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
I love to draw both traditionally on paper and also digital paint. My art usually has an underlying meaning and also in my head I think was perfect at the moment, which is why so many of them are unfinished because I've grown to not like that idea and focus on the ones that are more perfect.
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
I'm always thinking about the future but I really hate to because every time I do it always leads to something bad and gloomy, usually death and how the fabric of reality we're living on may not even be real. As a coping mechanism, I would focus on the present by being around my friends because they help me live in the moment. I see the past as more of as experiences that when averaged up helped me make decisions in the present/future. I also have incredibly bad memory.
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
I usually try to stop what I'm doing to help them, unless I'm doing something really important and I would reassure them usually over text that I'll help them later. I help them because it makes me feel better that they appreciate me for my efforts and out of everyone they could've asked for help they came to me.
• Do you need logical consistency in your life?
No, I think my sense of logic can change all the time and it's completely personal. I can learn many things from proven sources but how everyone perceives that knowledge is different to themselves.
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
It's only ever important if I am demanded of it or if it's required, otherwise I rather spend my time making everything more perfect and presentable.
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
I'm not sure if it's control, but I've realized just recently that every since I was young, I've learned how to appeal to every individualistic person as a good friend even if I don't like them so that when conflict happens people will always be by my side. 90% of the time though I'm nice to people because I genuinely believe that everyone can be a good person if you get to know them.
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
I love every form of art, from drawing and poetry to dancing and theatrical acting, because I think art is the meaning of life and I genuinely just enjoy them. I love to play video games too and although playing alone is fine, but usually I really open my computer to talk to my friends.
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
My learning style is slow and group oriented. I take in information very slowly because I need a physical teacher in front of me to give examples of how it works internally, because I have trouble just memorizing equations; I actually need them to make sense to me. I struggle most with environments where I have to figure everything out by myself; it's not impossible but I would DEFINITELY rather have someone who can guide me. I don't really prefer any classes because I don't like complaining.
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
I always just wing and improvise because if I paid attention to the teacher, I've learned to trust my brain to know exactly what to do and how to do it.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
• What do the "highs" in your life look like?
In seventh grade when I had all A+ in every class, I made a ton of friends in my new school, had swimming classes everyday so my parents were happy, my friends and I played games together every weekend, and I was just happy because I had no idea what was going on
• What do the "lows" in your life look like?
A period of time when I had really really bad grades, stayed up with all nighters doing literally nothing, thought I was genuinely developing a mental illness, didn't want to talk to anyone, had no idea where my life was going, moving somewhere else where away from all of my old friends I've spent my life with, and I suppressed all of my emotions because I thought that there was always someone who had it worse than me.
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
I daydream very often but I'm always very connected to reality. sometimes I wonder if I hate being connected to reality or I hate that I love to daydream, because I'm always believing that there is good out there, but I get disappointed every time yet I still belive in the same thing. I'm usually aware of my surroundings when I daydream, but I will forget everything someone says until I hear something that snaps me out of my daydream.
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
It would be my nightmare because even without the room being blank and empty I'm always thinking about the worst things ever, and I always need someone else to talk to to break me out of that chain of thought. I always think about the future and what it holds but I can't control myself when doing it and sometimes I even have trouble falling asleep because I'm trying to not focus on my thoughts but they override my brain anyways.
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
Very long, because I need to know every perspective of the situation and I trust myself to not change my mind unless something new is added to the equation.
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
Emotions are very important to me and I love to share my emotions with people I'm closest to, which really sucks for me because when I'm outside I always have this need to make my emotions be appealing to the people around me.
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
Very very often because I hate conflict.
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
I usually don't break the rules because I see no reason why to, I never really put much thought into it (to both not breaking the rules and breaking the rules). Authorities should be challenged when they're wrong and being selfish. They probably do know better but after all they're still human like us and how should we not know better?
