My cousin called me in a panic last year. She'd moved to Kuwait City for work, opened her laptop at the hotel, and discovered that half her usual apps had quietly stopped working. WhatsApp calls. Gone. FaceTime. Dead. BBC iPlayer. Blocked. The news sites she relied on? Some of them just... didn't load. She'd heard "Kuwait has censorship" in a vague, abstract way. But actually sitting there, staring at error screens, is a different experience entirely. So she called me — and I walked her through setting up a VPN over voice (the irony of using the one unblocked communication tool to unlock the rest wasn't lost on either of us). But here's the thing: **not...

Ever since I was a kid I had always wanted to be a professional chef. I would spend days at a time perfecting recipes and getting measurements just right. I burned my hands and cut my self by accident more times than I’d like to admit. I burnt food and undercooked meat. But, it was all worth it to get into the Culinary Institute of America. My time there wasn’t too interesting and not really worth talking about. I passed with flying colors and while not top of my class by a mile, I was still a standout cook. At the graduation I was approached with a job offer by a man with a Southern accent. It was as a private chef at some fancy rich guy’s mansion. The pay was immense, more than the v...

I visited a clothing store to buy a knit dress two days ago. I wanted something comfortable and stylish. I also wanted to understand the difference between knit and sweater dresses. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some looked similar. Some had unclear fabric details. Some did not feel comfortable. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but differences were still confusing. Some were soft but not warm. Some looked perfect at first but did not feel right. I remembered a dress I wore before that looked nice but was not suitable for winter. That made me hesitate even more. To check m...

**AITA for basically letting my D&D character die because I felt like the DM was railroading me?** About a year ago closer to two, I joined a homebrew campaign at my local game store. The campaign is almost entirely homebrew, and a lot of it is made up by the DM on the spot. I had played with this group before, so I was already familiar with most of the players and the table rules. Before joining, I talked with the DM about a character idea I wanted to play. My character, Steve, is a cleric from a religious kingdom who has been abusing his noble name and religion for personal gain. Things like making shopkeepers pay fake “taxes,” blackmailing people for favors, and offering �...

Not sure if this is the right thread but I need to get this written down somewhere. I am Muslim (M) born in the US. I am close with my religion (pray, fast, halal, never alcohol, drugs or sex, etc.) and I do what I can to follow all of the rules. However, I was born in the US and so I’m probably a little white washed. My issue is, when I meet girls I feel like I run into the same problem of having them be more traditional than I am or more Americanized than I am. An example of a traditional girl is, someone who would want me to speak with her father before speaking with her. I would like my wife to dress modestly and to be close with her religion but I also would like to see her in public ...

I visited a clothing store to buy a sweater dress two days ago. I wanted something cozy and stylish. I also wanted to find a good discount. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some had no discount at all. Some discounts were very small. Some were still expensive after sale. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but offers were not clear. Some were affordable but not soft. Some looked perfect at first but fabric was not good. I remembered a sweater dress I bought before on sale that did not last long. That made me hesitate even more. To check more variety and options while scrolling ma...

​ I visited a clothing store to buy a sweater dress two days ago. I wanted something eco friendly and comfortable. I also wanted something made from natural materials. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some fabrics did not feel natural. Some were too rough. Some did not feel good quality. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but material details were not clear. Some were soft but not durable. Some looked perfect at first but felt uncomfortable later. I remembered a dress I wore before that looked nice but did not last long. That made me hesitate even more. To check ...

Washing clothes has been my biggest stress for years now. Always running out of clean things when I need them most, or waiting forever for something to dry before my shift. Used to think buying more uniforms and casual clothes would fix it but that just made laundry mountain even bigger and my closet impossible to navigate During holiday break I got fed up and tried something different. Since I travel constantly for work I know exactly what I actually need - few work pieces, some casual tops, pants, basic workout stuff and obviously underwear. Took just these essentials and put them in separate space, moved everything else away temporarily Was curious how long I could manage with jus...

But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some were too expensive. Some had no review details. Some did not feel comfortable. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but feedback was not clear. Some were affordable but not durable. Some looked perfect at first but stitching was weak.

I visited a clothing store to buy a sweater dress two days ago. I wanted something high quality and stylish. I also wanted something comfortable for long wear. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some looked stylish but not durable. Some felt strong but not soft. Some did not fit properly. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but brand quality was not clear. Some were stylish but stitching was weak. Some looked perfect at first but did not last long. I remembered a dress I wore before that looked nice but lost shape later. That made me hesitate even more. To check more variety and op...

I am a UK resident with a Nepalese passport. We returned yesterday from a beautiful holiday in Cape Verde. Before booking the holiday, I contacted the Cape Verde consulate in Belgium. They clearly confirmed via email that we would not need a visa, despite being citizens of one of the 96 countries whose nationals now require a visa to visit Cape Verde, as we live and work in the UK. However, about a week before our travel date, I saw a post on X about an Indian national who was denied boarding by TUI at London Gatwick because they did not accept the visa exemption for UK residents. This stressed me, so I started researching further and found several other cases where passengers from those...

​ I visited a clothing store to buy a plus size sweater dress two days ago. I wanted something comfortable and stylish. I also wanted something that fits well. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some sizes were not available. Some designs looked very simple. Some did not fit properly. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but size options were limited. Some were stylish but not comfortable. Some looked perfect at first but fitting was not right. I remembered a dress I wore before that looked nice but did not suit my shape. That made me hesitate even more. To check mor...

Thanks to everyone who helped correct/add on to my list in the first one. Alright, onto the Mania era. I've decided so that each list isn't an eternity long, I'll stick with only doing characters that debuted in that era- including any that get a update (like Enormous Pierre turning heel). Once again, one's I'm not sure of are in italics *ACE ARCADIUM- Captain America, near as I can tell* AUNTIE VOODOO- Big Bad Mama from GLOW (although appearance wise they chose to make her more akin to Black Magic from the GLOW TV show) AURORA- Teela from He-Man AVERAGE SON- Dustin Rhodes BOBBY BLITZWORTH- Football player Brian Bosworth (in-game he later becomes a Bradsh...

I visited a clothing store to buy a sweater dress two days ago. I wanted something soft and warm. I also wanted something comfortable for winter. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some fabrics felt rough. Some were too heavy. Some did not feel comfortable. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently. Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but material was not clear. Some were soft but not durable. Some looked perfect at first but felt uncomfortable later. I remembered a sweater dress I wore before that looked nice but felt itchy after some time. That made me hesitate even more. To check more variety and options while scrolling ...

I am planning to travel Southeast Asia with my girlfriend from September 2026 to February 2027. We want to travel these countries by motorcycle. We have our flights booked to Bangkok and are flexible on where to start from. I already did quite some research on buying and traveling the mainland with a bike, but a couple of questions are still open. Our rough route: **Thailand → Laos → Cambodia** (maybe via Laos depending on Thai/Cambodia boarder situation then) **→ Thailand → Malaysia → Singapore → Thailand → Vietnam** I found that traveling to Vietnam with a foreign bike is basically impossible and that Thailand is probably the easiest place to buy and resell a bike. Hence t...

**Context:** me 26F, husband 28M. Both Asians. We married in June 2025 (almost a year ago). We are both open to each other looking at our phones, and I don’t really check my husband’s phone regularly or very frequently. I trust him and I trust his honesty for real. He did give a quick glance at sexy girls on the street very early ago when we date but that’s it, nothing too much. His IG feeds are filled with contents like basketball/football/boxing, games, anime, and some animals. He said he doesn’t really look at girls. **What happened:** I woke up a couple of days ago wanting to search up something on an app that only his phone has. I quickly browsed at his overview screen. And I f...

A kind stranger scooped me up off the street when I was crying after being laid off. “Do you want to come for a walk with my dog?” I took her up on her offer, and we got to talking. She said she was a workplace psychologist, and immediately starting giving great advice. She told me she’d help me find a new job, but today was for grieving. What did I do to deserve such kindness from a stranger? We became instant friends. She told me about her cancer, surviving war in Serbia, being an invisible immigrant, and her abusive father. She told me about living with and managing bipolar and STI’s. I had so much compassion and admiration for the lives this woman had lived by her mid th...
