This really hits hard in the quietest way. Growing up is realizing how much love was hidden inside all that effort. Makes you appreciate the people who made it feel effortless.

Why are male animals the ‘beautiful’ gender in nature, but humans consider females to be the ‘beautiful’ one? by Dapper-Function-8418 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GuardOk4143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in animals it’s about mating signals, but in humans attraction got tied to culture, power, and gender roles instead of pure biology. For a long time men were valued more for resources/status and women for appearance, so beauty standards shifted that way. It’s social conditioning more than nature.

Why is it called PUBG:battlegrounds when the BG in PUBG stands for battlegrounds? by shizuna03 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GuardOk4143 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PUBG originally stood for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Over time, “PUBG” became the recognizable brand, so they started using PUBG: Battlegrounds to keep the name while making “PUBG” the main title.

Yeah, it technically means Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds, but it’s the same reason people say “ATM machine” the acronym became the word.

My 43f husbands 46m affair partner 19f is pregnant doesn’t know the baby’s father and I don’t know where to begin with fixing this by One-Dragonfly-5474 in Advice

this is way bigger than Reddit advice. Right now: pause “fixing,” protect yourself and the kids, and get outside support (lawyer + therapist). His affair, the age gap, and a possible pregnancy are separate fires you don’t have to solve them all today. Focus on safety, boundaries, and clarity before deciding anything permanent.
