So I have a pretty well paying job in tech, but on the side I have a meme page with almost 50K followers. I don't get any income from this page, but I just post whenever I feel like it and it's usually my own original content related to dating, world events etc.

Is this something that would be perceived as attractive by women? Or is running a meme page considered an unattractive hobby in the same vein as playing video games? Is it something I should bring up on the first date or should I just keep it to myself since it's not even that big of a part of my personality?

Currently the biggest barrier to entry for SK Hynix is that it's quite difficult for non-Korean investors to purchase it. If they list on the NYSE, then not only American investors but investors from all around the world will suddenly have access to it and I assume the stock price will shoot up. Since SK Hynix is a direct competitor to MU, is it reasonable to assume that MU would fall as SK Hynix rises? And if so, wouldn't it be better to diversify away from MU and maybe purchase an ETF like DRAM so that we aren't blindsided by a huge drop when SK Hynix lists?

Lately I've been hearing more and more people talk about toxic materials used in workout clothes by brands such as Lululemon, Gymshark etc. I've been wearing the same cheap $10 Shein workout clothes to the gym for the past 5 years, and I never even thought about the materials being toxic for my body. Does sweat really cause the material to go bad over time and release toxins into my bloodstream? Should I be throwing away and buying new gym clothes every couple of years, or is it OK to keep reusing the same shirts indefinitely?

In Attack Of The Clones, Obi-Wan locates Kamino and then is introduced to the Prime Minster who tells him that the clone army is ready for inspection. He bumbles his way through the meeting like a complete fool, and clearly has absolutely no idea where he is or what he's doing. At one point he even asks who the army is for, which should have been a dead giveaway and immediately triggered warning bells for the Kaminoans. By now, any reasonable person would assume Obi-Wan was either a spy or an idiot, and would refuse to engage in any further conversation until he produced the proper identification or credentials.

And yet they just give him access to the clone army without any further questions or even demanding payment for their work. Do they not have any protocols in place to verify their clients' identities? Why is security so lax on Kamino? If you knew your enemy had commissioned some clone bounty hunters for example, could you not just walk in, pretend to be them and then take the clones for yourself? Seems like a massive oversight to me.

Next weekend is the 1-year anniversary of my (29M) first date with my girlfriend (25F). I've already made reservations to take her out for a nice dinner, but I also want to get her a gift to commemorate the occasion, since this will be our first anniversary together. I was initially thinking of getting her a necklace or earrings, but she's mentioned that she isn't really into jewelry and doesn't wear any accessories. Some of her hobbies include photography, cooking and traveling. Any gift ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've done a few bulk and cut cycles over the past few years. I usually gain around 10-15 lbs during the bulk, and then lose 5-10 lbs during the subsequent cut. However, my issue is that I have a round face even at low bodyfat levels. I'm also genetically predisposed to gaining fat in my face first, and losing it in my face last. So every time I bulk, my face gets noticeably fatter, but even after cutting back down, my face stays fat because I lose fat from my face last.

For example, if I gain 15 lbs on a bulk, around half of that will be muscle, and then the other half will be fat gain, primarily in my face. If I cut by 10lbs afterwards, most of the weight lost will be from other parts of my body, because I lose face fat last. I'm not willing to cut more than 10lbs because that would mean I lost more weight during my cut than I gained on my bulk. I started out skinny and my goal is to get heavier, not lighter. So I end up in a situation where my face just keeps getting fatter and fatter after multiple bulk/cut cycles even though my body fat is around 12-15%. Is the only solution to go on a huge cut and lose 20-30lbs, and possibly most of my gains? Or is there something else I might be missing that's causing my face to be round and bloated despite low bodyfat levels?

I've been seeing a lot of people reporting issues with eye strain, blurry text, lower brightness and color shifting with the S26 Ultra's display. I'm really interested in the privacy display but I don't want to buy 1st generation technology because it inevitably comes with a bunch of issues. How likely is it that the S27 Ultra will have a privacy display that solves all the aforementioned issues? If so I'll wait for that since I'm in no rush.

I thought it was commonly accepted that Vader was massively crippled for the first few years after he was put in the suit, because he was still learning how to move, and had to rebuild his entire lightsaber technique from scratch to compensate for his robotic limbs. So how come in Shadow Lord he moves like he's in his absolute prime? He's faster and more brutal here than we've ever seen him before, whether it's Rebels, Rogue One or even the Empire Strikes Back. Is the stuff about him having to adapt to the suit no longer canon? Or was Maul really so weak that he couldn't beat a Year 1 Vader who was still struggling to adapt to the suit?

These are my first headphones with velour ear pads and I'm not sure how to properly clean them. How should I be cleaning them and how often?

I've been using Strong for years, but the app hasn't received any proper updates for a while and it's starting to feel and look outdated (for example it doesn't even support live activities on iOS). Therefore I'm looking for a new workout app to replace Strong. I was initially going to pick Hevy, but I then came across Lyfta and it looks pretty similar. Are there any killer features that Lyfta has that Hevy doesn't? What are the main reasons to pick Lyfta over Hevy?

I've been lifting consistently for the past 4-5 years, and although I haven't achieved my dream physique yet, I'm well past my newbie gain phase. I'm about to do go on a lean bulk (200-300 calorie surplus) for the next few months, and I want to be realistic about the rate of progress I should expect to achieve, because consistently adding weight every week feels a bit unrealistic since I've been lifting for so long and my progress is much slower than it was during the first couple of years.

For example, let's say I can do 125kg x 10 reps for the barbell Romanian deadlift. How much of an increase in weight/reps should I aim to achieve after a 3 month bulk? And does the % increase in strength result in the same % increase in muscle size? For example if I can cable bicep curl 100kg for 8 reps now, and can do 110kg for 8 reps at the end of the bulk, would my biceps have grown in size by 10% too?

Last week I hit a PR by doing 120kg Romanian deadlifts for 6 reps (120kg was the most weight I've done that exercise with). Today I did 120kg for 7 reps, which I believe counts as progressive overload and a personal best because it's the most reps I've done with my heaviest weight. Why does Hevy not log this as a PR? I just switched from Strong, which counted this as a PR and helped me make sure I was progressing in some way every week. If I can only get a PR by lifting a heavier weight, that unecessarily limits the definition of progression and makes it more difficult to motivate myself.
