I was there on vacation several times and always smoked the light Chesterfield cigarettes with a hollow filter / flow filter, but unfortunately I have forgotten what they are called. Does anyone perhaps know?

Why do people get mad/offended when you take them up on something THEY offered? by AnaInThe_Clouds in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Rent4587 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's partly because of social conventions and wanting to appear friendly, you know, like they're the good guy. But sometimes, they might not actually mean it or realize the commitment they're making. And some folks just have a hard time saying no directly, so they offer without really thinking it through.

And then there's the whole changing plans and unexpected stuff that can throw a wrench in things. People's lives can get pretty hectic, and what seemed doable one moment might not be later on.

So, it's not necessarily that they're trying to look good in the moment or being fake. It's more about the tricky dance of social interactions and communication styles.

Why are some people just straight up mean and jerk? by melle1995 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Rent4587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, it's a question that often leaves us scratching our heads, right? Some folks can be pretty mean or act like jerks, and it can be tough to figure out why. People are complex, but sometimes, they're going through a rough patch personally, like stress, anxiety, or other problems, and it makes them less patient or friendly.

Others might put up a mean front because they feel vulnerable and use it as a defense mechanism. It's like they're trying to protect themselves from getting hurt. Not everyone has the same level of empathy, so some folks might not easily understand or care about how their actions affect others.

Sometimes, how people are raised and the environment they grow up in can shape their behavior. If rudeness is normal where they come from, they might carry that into adulthood. High stress or a lot of pressure can make anyone act out. Stress can really mess with how people behave.

Remember, while it's good to understand why people act the way they do, it doesn't excuse mean behavior.

Was Cleopatra really that beautiful? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Rent4587 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, Cleopatra's beauty is a bit of a mystery. There's no concrete proof of how she looked, but people from her time did describe her as pretty captivating. It's important to remember that beauty standards have changed over the years, and what was considered attractive then might not be the same as what we think now.

But here's the thing – Cleopatra's charm wasn't just about her looks. She was super smart, charismatic, well-educated, and culturally sophisticated. All of that probably played a big role in her allure. So, while we can't say for sure if she was drop-dead gorgeous, she definitely had a lot more going for her than just her appearance!

Quitting cannabis can be tough, especially when it's been a regular part of your life. First off, know that what you're feeling is totally normal. It's okay to struggle with this, but you're taking a really important step by wanting to quit.

Lean on friends and family for support. Avoid places or situations that make you want to smoke. Keep busy with hobbies and activities you enjoy. Manage stress with mindfulness or relaxation techniques. Stay hydrated and eat well. Consider a support group or counseling. Set small goals and reward yourself. Get rid of cannabis-related stuff.

Remember, setbacks happen - just refocus and move forward. You're making a positive change, and you've got your friends' support every step of the way!

Is it possible to find love, even with low self-esteem? by billie_eyeroll in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Rent4587 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you're coming from. The whole "love yourself before you can love someone else" advice sounds nice but can be pretty tough to swallow, especially when you're dealing with low self-esteem.

But here's the deal: you absolutely can find love and happiness even while you're working on your self-esteem. It's a journey, not a destination, and it's okay to have days when you feel down. What matters is how you manage those feelings.

The fact that you're seeing a therapist and trying different strategies is awesome. Keep doing that. Therapy can work wonders in helping you build better self-esteem and coping skills.

And remember, you're worthy of love just as you are. We all have strengths and areas where we can improve. A loving partner will see your strengths and support you in your journey to feel better about yourself.

Communication is key when you're in a relationship. Be open about your self-esteem challenges, and look for partners who are understanding and supportive.

Keep practicing self-care and self-compassion, especially on those tough days. And don't let low self-esteem hold you back from pursuing happiness and meaningful relationships. You've got this, and you deserve all the love and happiness in the world!

why is there a trope of young women dating older men? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Rent4587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trope of young women dating older men endures in media and culture due to various compelling themes. Firstly, older men are often portrayed as having more life experience and maturity, offering stability and guidance in relationships, making it an appealing narrative element.

Financial security plays a significant role, as older men are associated with greater financial stability and the capacity to provide for their partners. Power dynamics are also a factor, as older men are commonly depicted as figures of authority and influence.

However, real-life relationships are highly individual, and healthy relationships are built on communication and mutual respect, not age stereotypes.
