People outside of the USA: What are some interesting, cool, or fascinating aspects of your country you'd like to share with the world?

  • If you're feeling fancy then saffron is a good one. Tumeric and cumin are more common, as well as harissa. Sometimes aniseed, cinnamon, nutmeg or mace for something sweeter/peppery, though I personally don't like those as much.

  • Oh man I actually love the raw olive oil, especially on msemmen (I'm half moroccan)

    • People who can don't get mad and just go with the flow, how do you do it?

    Jump

  • I had that personality before weed and ssris, I still do though

    • Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?

    Jump

  • Trans man, I would say I vocalize more now that I'm T but that might just have to do with my life circumstances significantly improving at the same time, so I tend use my voice more often in general.

    • Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?

    Jump

  • Binding of Isaac, I couldn't handle all the poop and mild horror, but eventually something clicked and now I have 1500 hours combined in both games.

  • I also (very likely) have ADHD and used to do this when doing homework for school. I think it has something to do with keeping dopamine levels up to a neurotypical level, in order to be able to focus.

    • How can I practice being more emotionally available as a man?

    Jump

  • I have a bit of of a different experience in regards to this because I'm a neurodivergent and queer trans man. So I've had to spend a lot of time untangling my thoughts on masculinity. Personally, one of the main observations I've made is how emotionally constipated the men around me are. Usually something to the effect of "I can't be mistaken as gay becuase it might result in social or physical harm coming to me" So I suppose my advice would be to work on allowing yourself to feel things without judgement (which is a lot easier said than done, of course). A good starting point would be to either talk with a therapist/support group, or if that option is not available, then independently reviewing/working through psychiatry material yourself. I would start with the book "The Body Keeps the Score" because in my experience, most people experience trauma at some point or another in their lives, including men. That can help you build a more stable mental framework for working through your own experiences of being emotionally stifled.

    As far as general advice, I would look to other queer men/masc for opinions as well, cuz a lot of us have internal and external experiences with working through emotional suppression. Usually because as a cohort, we don't tend to feel as beholden to the social "ideal" of masculine.

    Back when I was on reddit I also found that r/menslib was a welcoming space for men and masc folks to discuss men's issues (such as the lack of emotional intimacy) without devolving into an incel/misogyny forum.

    I'm just one dude on the internet though, and it's good that you're looking for a variety of inputs on this, we could use more emotionally healthy men in the world.

    • Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

    Jump

  • Personally, I was raised muslim, but now I don't eat pork (or meat in general) for ethical/environmental reasons rather than religious.

    • What volume level do you usually listen to music at?

    Jump

  • Yeah I have the WH-1000XM3s and the noise cancelling made a substantial difference to my listening volume (like 30-40% quieter on average).

    • People who struggled with procrastination and now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating?

    Jump

  • ADHD meds

    • A Proposed Law Would Force Internet Companies to Spy on Their Users for the DEA | The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it...

  • She also voted against student loan debt relief multiple times, unsurprisingly.

    • We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands

    Jump

  • I mean I'm trans and even though I have massive hips to keep my pants on, wearing a belt still helps me pass better since they're so ubiquitous
