Kinda funny we don't have a thread like this since "Help Others" is under the banner.
This thread is for asking questions that can't be found with readilly available tools like search engines or that would require extensive research. These would be questions that have destinct answers rather than relationship issues or philosophical conundrums or anything of that nature (though dedicated threads for those things too would be nice I think). Of course if you get help you should try and answer someone else's question too if you can.
-but yeah, this starts with me asking for help myself. What's that word for a work position in which you don't do anything specific or terribly consistent but you just go around doing what needs done here and there?

Today I got my fingers crushed under a van sliding door. Nothing serious I hope but im worried about potential problems in the future. I know what youre thinking, "Go to a fucking doctor" well of course thats the sensible thing to do but I cant because im broke and close to eviction with no insurance of any sort.
So, does anyone know a place for asking medical advice that doesnt need registration and isnt reddit?

There might be a free clinic in your area. I found this site, but I'm not sure how reputable it is.

I hope your hand turns out to be OK. If the swelling gets bad, take action right away. You don't want to lose fingers.

Why the hell do people honk at me when I'm standing or walking on the side on the road? It sure isn't to get my attention for any important reason and I don't know enough people to get recognized so often. I guess it's believable that many people are buttholes that want to harrass me, pointing out that they're using a car and I'm not. Surely people aren't stupid enough to think it's a pleasant nod to a stranger right?

Are you usually walking with or against traffic? If you're walking with traffic then they're probably just letting you know that they're coming up behind you. If you're walking against traffic then I don't know what to tell you friend. Some people have a personal grudge against pedestrians.

Are you a cute girl or a man with a nice butt in a homo accepting country?
In my country ppl use car horns to hail out the sexy ladies. It's sort of like "hello pretty sexy thing".
I don't do that because i think it's rude. Most ladies ignore the cars and pretend that they hear nothing

It's not even like that really. I ride the city bus more than anything and that short walk to a bus stop and the time I spend waiting is when it usually happens. As far as safety goes I see no reason one would find me unawares or expect me to suddenly dart in front of them.

If she is of consenting age and pictures are non-nude then they are likely not going to be considered pornographic, even by federal statutes.
Also, most CP laws concern the distribution of CP rather than personal possession. Under the circumstance that you get these photos and keep their, shall we say, use, private, then you shouldn't be worried.

Crossing state lines is a no-no.
Also there are provisions which call electronic communications entrapment or somesuch. For example you're 18 she's 16 both in the same state and everything is aboveboard. But agreeing to meet on the phone or computer is technically rape.
Can't recall off hand what the actual laws are called, but I remember someone kicking up a fuss about it on /b/ many moons ago. Might want to do some reading before you end up with a bad end anon.

What does /kind/ think of prostitution? And the ethics of paying a sex worker. I'm not talking about human trafficking. Some countries have laws to protect to sex workers. In such countries workers get tested regularly and pay taxes etc.
If it's in such a society is there anything inherently wrong with it?

i'm not saying you should be completely dehumanize sex workers or look at them as second class citizens like many do, what i mean is that it is wrong to make profit of something that you do not have to work for naturally, and it takes the passion out of sex when it is with someone you love or at least that you chose yourself.

I don't have any experiences with weighted blankets but I found this on google, hope it helps!
>When it comes to finding your own weighted blanket, there are several factors to consider. First, you want a blanket that’s roughly 10 percent of your body weight. For example, for someone who weighs 150 pounds, a 15 pound blanket would be best. If you fall in between the standard weights of blankets, it’s better to choose the heavier option.
>Weighted blankets come in many different types of fabric, just like any other. Make sure you choose a fabric that you like, and, if you have sensory issues, won’t cause irritation. The same goes for the blanket’s filling: A blend of beads and cotton will feel more traditional, while a filling entirely of beads or discs will be a more intense, closer experience.

I swear, something got mixed up in my mom's womb and I was born with the body and mind of a man but the "emotional intelligence" and "spirituality" of a woman. 😛 Must be why I get along with women so well (especially lesbians since we're into the same thing!), why I've never really matched the wavelength of "the Guys".
Beer-swilling, manly-man "dudebros" just 'feel' like weird and alien creatures with zero sense of the aesthetic, of non-physical "spiritual/emotional" matters (for lack of better words), non-verbal "subcommunication" (for lack of a better word), and so on. As if they're walking wooden blocks.
