Isn't living under military life the shittiest way a free human can live?

0 Upvotes

It's centered around restriction and obedience to others. The human spirit lives for freedom and actively seeks it out. Whenever freedoms are taken away, it doesn't make the person happier, it does the opposite. That's why prison is a punishment.

Why are fake freckles accpeted and worn?

7 Upvotes

As someone born with lots of freckles, it doesn't bother me much if someone puts them on, but why's it normal to wear a fake thing your not born with that used to be bullied HEAVILY for years? Just a bit weird imo edit: I'm talking from my personal experience, where a lot of people who bullied me now wear them. if you wear them because you like them, I DON'T CARE. I wasn't trying to offend ANYONE. I was just curious as a lot of people who've bullied people for having them now wear them cause they're considered cute. this isn't meant to bring anyone down, it was a simple question in a subreddit meant for questions.

Can people be allergic to bananas ?

3 Upvotes

Hey people, I've heard about pineapple and kiwifruit causing mild sensations in people's mouths.

I get this from bananas and I was wondering if anyone had had a similar effect from bananas?

My fiance says that it's a sign of a mild allergy but I'm wondering if anyone else gets this?

Edit; Thank you all so much for the great information. I've worked as a carer and food assistant at a major hospital and have never seen or heard of it, hence my question. There are several answers that have also broadened my knowledge so I am very grateful to all of you. Thank you.

Should I slowly distance myself from a friend or straight up tell them we can’t be friends anymore?

1 Upvotes

Some context here:
I have a now ex friend who sexually harassed me, and sexually assaulted my best friend, who I will name Drew. We have two other mutual friends who seem to be “choosing” the assaulters side. One of those friends, I’m just cutting off, they don’t deserve an explanation from me because I haven’t known them for that long and have given me other reasons to not be friends with them anymore. The other friend, who I will name James, was one of both mine and Drew’s closer friends. James and Drew got into a bit of a scuffle when Drew tried talking to him about the sexual harassment, which led to Drew saying some stuff that hurt James’s feelings. Drew apologized and is owning up to his decision of involving him right away, but James is not being receptive and ignoring him. I’m guessing that James resents Drew because he has been posting Instagram stories that are basically saying the he was friends with bad people and taking a hit at Drew’s mental health and how it’s affecting him. The level of pettiness and insensitivity that James is showing is ridiculous and I’m getting annoyed at it. He posted photos on his Instagram stories of hanging out with the sexual harasser and the other friend. After that, I decided that I’m not gonna stay friends with him anymore. I’m not willing to be friends with someone who is friends with both mine and Drew’s sexual harasser, knowing how much pain he caused for both of us. I think the sexual harasser probably twisted what actually happened and victim blame to make James feel negatively against me and Drew. I don’t think that James knows how much he’s hurt me, which is why I feel like maybe I should tell him why I’m ending this friendship. At this point in my life, I just want to protect my mental health and my peace, and if that means cutting out toxic people from my life, then I will do it. I’m done being a people pleaser, and done with putting up with people’s bullshit. I don’t want to just survive, I want to thrive and find people that will add good to my life, not stress and negative energy.

So my real question is, should I take the time to text James and tell him that this friendship is over and explain to him how he hurt me, or just slowly cut him off?

Appointment cancelled by other party. What should I do here?

0 Upvotes

Last week, booked a 15 minute with personality Talia Yoseph on October 20th(yesterday). I even got an email reminder the day before about our little appointment. Anyways, yesterday(the day of the expected appointment) was a busy day, but I was still looking forward to meeting up with her. Right around 3:30 PM, I go into my yahoo email to go into my expected meeting. though, I find another email from that morning saying that the booking had been cancelled.
Ok, fine. Things happen. But I am supposed to get my money back, right? The only mention of a refund in either of the emails is if I had cancelled less than 24 hours of the appointment.

But, I was not the one who cancelled this. THEY cancelled.
And there is no email on her website. What should I do here?

Am I stupid to dream I can be a famous visual artist?

7 Upvotes

Hello I’m 19f and my entire like the only thing I’ve been able to do it create. I’ve always wanted to be a famous artist. I’m terrified I’m not leaving my mark. I’m slowly realising I’m stupid for even dreaming. This year I took a gap year to focus on my art before uni next year. I don’t have the money togo to a big fancy uni I am still living at Home and my uni is the only one in my state!
This year I have been in two group exhbitions and one solo EXHBITION. I have an art acount of only 26k on Instagram and I’m popular in the small art world of my city.
That’s it though. I’ve been trying so hard and I’m starting to think I’m stupid for ever even dreaming that I’ll make it. No artist now day gets famous, they are rarely woman as well.
Is it actually a tinny small chance I will make it? Be honest
