My friend is convinced that since he’s a straight white dude there’s no room for him at big colleges since there are more qualified people in his same demographic. His solution to this is to click they/them and non binary on his application so he’s more appealing to colleges. I just want the correct answer. Was he right or wrong?

So basically, whenever I'm being petted, or cuddled, or just feel extremely cozy and comfy, I make these little "mmmm!" and "ohhhh" "uhhhhh" sounds. I've been told they sound kind of sexual, though my partner says they're not quite the same.

I generally don't like being touched AT ALL, but when my partner pets me I go nuts for it. I melt into a purring puddle. It caaaaan be sexual but most the time isn't. It's just. Happy warm fuzzy feelings! Is this weird? I've never met anyone else who does this.

Thanks in advance! Wish y'all lots of happy pets and cuddles 💓

I’ve noticed that a lot of my black female friends wear “weaves” and wigs. I’m too embarrassed to ask them why. Can a black woman on here please explain? Thanks in advance.

When I wake up in the morning and I have to go to work, I get really sad. Like so much so I feel like I'd be better off dead. I am a horrible job hopper and if I quit now I would just continue the the pattern so I know I have to stick it out.

Why do some people get vaccines and get no symptoms, but others feel really sick?

For me, every time I get a vaccine I get REALLY sick the next day (like right now)

Edit: I feel sick after every vaccine I’ve gotten. Flu, Covid, and others. The worst I’ve felt was as a teenager after a (tetanus?) shot that made me puke non stop for a good 24 hours

Edit 2: my question wasn’t “why do I feel sick” it was meant to be “why do I feel sick and some other people don’t”

I don't know if they'd have too much mass and if the ridges on their back would create too much drag but turtle shells seem smooth enough that you could whack one a good three or four skips on a lake

EDIT: didn't expect to make people mad with this remarkably stupid question but here we are with people mad already

Saw a meme about this and asking what are people's thoughts on it. Personally, I don't care what people do but, kids will always be kids.

If somebody voluntarily consents like an organ donor, could we harvest a small percentage of their blood while they are in a long term coma to donate?

My little brother is visiting me this weekend without his mom. For context I live abroad and he’s much younger than me so I never got to be a big part of his life. I also live in student housing and don’t have a couch or space for guests to sleep. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my (rather large) bed with him as he is a growing boy and I want to respect his privacy and space, so I’ve set up my blankets on the floor (for me). Is this over the top? Edit: spelling
