My family just had a family potluck and my nephew who's about 10 years older than me decided that he and his family would host it. Everyone pitched in and decided what utensils they will bring, what dishes they will bring, etc. No family who went to the potluck skimped on dishes or utensils. Then when the last week rolls up before the potluck he texts everyone "okay for the groceries cost everyone will have to pay 10 dollars up front" is it okay for him to charge family for a potluck that he volunteered to host? My mom was really upset at this.

I see regular people parking there all the time but I never see them leave or what happens afterwards.

Throwaway account because I feel like this is a very stupid question. My partner and I were on a flight with a medical emergency. An old man collapsed in the washroom and they asked for doctors on board. 2 went to assist him and then he was lying on the ground and we couldn't see much afterwards. It seemed like after about 20 minutes the doctors, his wife, and flight attendants just walked away from him (the wife was crying) . When this happened we were only 45 minutes from landing. When we landed, paramedics and firefighters rushed onto the plane and we had to stay seated. However, after sitting for a while and having EMTs on board, they let us all get our stuff and leave. My question is, does that mean he died? My opinion is if he was alive, they would have taken him out on a stretcher right away before any passengers left. My partner thinks it's because he probably had some sort of fainting episode or something and then felt fine once the plane landed. But i feel even if it was something non "serious" he still would have been taken off the plane before the other passengers. Does anyone have any opinion as to whether he was likely ok or not?

Had a chat with an old friend that had gotten a DUI. Turns out, he actually got two of them, a few months after one another. He never went to court, never paid a fine, just went about his life like it never happened….now, it’s been two or three years since.

How fucked is he? How has he gotten away with it for so long? If by some miracle it gets to be 10+ years down the road, does it just go away? Or, is there no statute of limitations if there were actually charges filed?

I'm terribly depressed and wherever I look it seems to make it worse. Nobody seems happy these days. And that's fair. It's just also really, really discouraging

I work from home 1-2 days a week. Last month, while I was in an online-meeting during home-office, my appartment-door (in a 6 appartment building) rang.
I was wearing sweat-pants and a t-shirt, and openend the door. It was my landlord, who was doing an unanounced inspection through the building with 3 other people from the tenants' association of the house.
They just wanted to check something about the heating, and so I let them in... and I had 4 people trample through my appartment. I usually clean up a little when I expect visitors, and put on fresh clothes, which I couldn't do... so I felt quite uncomfortable.

What would you do if someone rang your door in the middle of the day, or in the morning, or in the evening? When should you open the door, and when not?

90% of the time, it is just some delivery for someone else, or someone wants to sell you something or scam you. Why should you give them that chance?
Why even answer the door at all, if that person did not inform you... everybody I care about has my phone number, including my neighbours next door that I like. Including my landlord. When someone does not have my phone number, that is intentional.

I'm a 25 years old woman. I never had a relationship. I went on some dates, but nothing happened. I even never kissed. I don't know what is wrong with me.

I would like to go for a study while working (going for a bachelor degree). This will take 4 years and I can start this in several months. By the time I graduate I will be 29. I'm afraid my time will be occupied by studying and working and that I will have no time/energy to date.

I don't want to end alone. I'm still living at home, but hopefully I can move out in September/October.

Any advice?

The fact that there could be nothing after we die truly terrifies me. I’m curious if anyone for real doesn’t fear dying.

Growing up, we called vertical folding of paper the hotdog style and horizontal folding the hamburger style. Do people of other countries say this as well, or is this just a weird America thing?

Edit: I did some digging and found this post and it is just a weird American thing, like criss cross apple sauce.

This phrase can also be "Spin in one's grave" or "Roll in one's grave". Whenever I heard this phrase I always thought the spinning axis is the one going from your back to your front (chest), but recently I saw an illustration of someone representing the phrase and it shoved the turning happening on the bottom(feet) to top(head) axis. The back to front idea probably makes me think of this phrase more light-heartedly than I should be, as the image conjured in my head is comical.

In a Facebook group, someone asked what streaming service has a show they were looking for. About 100 people responded with the correct, same answer. Happens here on Reddit, too. Why? If I know the answer, but someone’s already correctly answered, I move on.

My husband is at the kitchen table, in front of our kids, trying to take out macbook batteries that are swollen. How dangerous is this really?

He stopped. It's in the garage until we can find a place to take it. Than you for your help, I was completely floored he was messing with it at all.

I ask this question because I've heard alot about toxic masculinity and misogyny. I feel like it's quite a big topic and it gets a lot of coverage on many platforms, including Reddit. However, I don't think I have once heard the term 'toxic femininity' or whatever the opposite of misogyny is. I don't even know the word. Is there such a disparity between toxic masculinity and toxic femininity? Why is one so much more widespread than the other?

I saw a clip about a women painting a fence and there was a split second of her showing under arm hair. I didn't notice. I went to the comments because the fence looked like shit and wanted to see if others agreed. All of the comments were about her body hair. Almost everyone was commenting on how disgusting/dirty she was (she wasn't). I'm genuinely curious why people think it's disgusting for a woman not to shave.

I’ve dated both plus size/chubby and petite women and the chubby ones always ask me if i prefer them or the petite ones. I’ve never been asked by a petite woman whether I prefer them or not.

I mean if I didn’t like chubby women then I wouldn’t have approached her right?

Edit: Thank you for the responses, I’ll reassure her every chance I get.

I recently saw a tiktok about it and I started thinking about it. Is it normal to have a drawer somewhere with pretty much everything. Sometimes its an important item. Sometimes its not. Its just there.

I got one and theres like 16 knifes, 1 airsoft pistol, 1 gopro, 1 rip off gopro, stickers, phone chargers, some cool stuff, a book, my broken computer mouse, like 8 pens and erasers, gloves, cool keychain accessories, a roll of toilet paper, chapstick, keys and so much more.

I dont know where I got all that from. Most if it i dont even use or know why I would need to use.

Its just there

"Live cultures" in yogurt seems to make sense, because that's actually what bacterial colonies look like. But when I see "live cultures" promoted in pill form or capsule powder form, that makes no sense to me.
