In Matthew 2:1-2, Jesus is visited by wise men as a child and received gifts from them. They claimed to have received a prophecy from God to come to Jerusalem. The Latin vulgate describes the men as “magi from the East.” Magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion, popular in the eastern empire…
So when I was with my very first proper girlfriend in my early 20s she said something about what I thought about the taste of my own cum. I was taken aback because in all the years I had been spurting my man juice about the place I had never even thought to do that. The idea hadn't even entered…
When someone is accused of being racist, the response is commonly "I have black friends". But people hate this response, and don't see it as a coherent defense. In my opinion, (The opinion of an Afro-Latino man, not that it should matter) this defense is fine. I mean if you were a racist white…
Edit: I did it. I asked an actual dumb question. Good god, I really didn’t think this one through enough.
Having been to many countries, American people are exhausting to talk to because most are not sincere. The constant “how are you” and never actually caring how the person is.
Title. I’ve had this happen only a handful of times. 90% of the time when I match with somebody, unless I send them a message first, they will just sit in my “matched” until I delete my account again. Why don’t you send a message first you ask? I do. But most of the time, I never get a response.…
Do all anti fungal toe medication impact the kidneys or just some?
I recently purchased this postcard in Paris: https://imgur.com/a/3Qr8RtU and I would be interested in learning more about its historical context. It seems that it is making some kind of joke at the expense of the Germans in WWI. It looks old but I am not sure if it is actually from WWI or a…
I only have experience with America/ Anglosphere but certain baby names seemed to have abruptly switched genders. I do not mean feminizing a male name like Robert to Roberta, but a name being given to the other sex while unchanged. For example, the names Leslie, Ashley, Madison "Maddie", Sydney,…
I don’t know if others are like me but it seems so much more difficult to focus on the road and change these settings while driving. For example, I want to turn the AC up or down, the temperature up or down, the older generation of cars allowed me to do that so quickly with my hand but it just…
The story goes that Stalin released The Grapes of Wrath in Soviet theaters because it would show workers and peasants the flaws of capitalism. He removed it, though, once they saw that even the poorest of Americans could still afford a car. Is this true?
I’ve never actually done anything sexual but I figured it’s time for me to finally get some experience. I don’t particularly trust tinder guys tho so would it be weird for me to ask them to wear a condom during oral? My friends said they have never asked a guy to wear a condom during it but can’t…
Glaciers have been melting for decades now. What conditions would need to happen for them to reform?
And on a different note, can they even reform? Would the glaciers be new and would they settle in a different place compared to where they were before? Or would they grow from existing ones?
I’m moving into a new high rise apartment soon. Before this, all I’ve ever lived in was low level condos. My apartment is on the 31st level so it’s pretty high up. I was just telling my friend how I want to bring a parachute with me to my new place. On the news I’ve heard of a lot stories about…
Well either way, that's the last time I go out of my way to help someone.
I’m 16, and I’m interviewing at firehouse subs on Monday. My dads pretty insistent that I wear like a polo and dress pants, but my mom thinks that’s overly fancy. What should I wear?
what do you guys think?

my friend says that a lot of the things I learn online are manipulated history written by people that only want you to see certain sides of something…. and history that was written by the victors….. also that the government secretly sensors internet and very cleverly shows stuff that they want you…
As a man, I feel the need to respect my female partner’s wishes of never wanting her own kids. She’s terrified of pregnancy/childbirth and all that stuff. Birth control for her has not been too kind either, she takes it and makes her feel unwell. What can I do for her when we have sex?
Don’t attack me or the religion this is just a question. Disrespecting christianity (along with catholicism, baptism- all the jesus stuff) has been widely accepted but when disrespect is caught going to other religions there’s immediately a defense. On tiktok and twitter I see mostly 14-25 year…
Just come across one of these in real life. https://www.rosewoodpet.com/dog/travel/options-cooling-accessories/chillax-cool-pad-large Lying on it genuinely feels nice and cold. How on earth does it work?
