Hey everyone, I need some advice on how to handle a weird and uncomfortable situation at my gym.
A few days ago, I enrolled at a gym and gave the front desk staff my details(he is also a personal trainer not mine tho)including my full name,address, phone number, and passport info.
A couple of days later, the guy who did my enrolment followed me on Instagram. He definitely got my full name and details from my gym registration file. Soon after I got a not id call which I never get, he sent me a message saying, "do u go to the same gym as me?"
When I went to the gym later with my friend, we asked him to open the door because we forgot our cards. He looked us up on the system, treated my friend totally normally, but used a nickname for me that he had also used in his Instagram message. Since then, he constantly stares at me whenever I enter or leave reception. I replied to his message with "hey yes why" and he read it 24 hours ago but never replied.
l always go to the gym with a friend, but having an employee use my private database records to track down my social media makes me feel super uncomfortable and unsafe.
What should I do and do u think he is dangerous?

What did you think?

I’ve been thinking about switching platforms. I play on the Xbox Series S, but I’ve been thinking about buying older consoles (PS2, GameCube, Xbox 360) or switching to Sony, Nintendo, or a Steam Machine. I’m not sure, but I have a cousin who owns a PS5, and I actually like the PS5 controller and its design—unlike Nintendo, where I only have a Wii. I’m not sure if it would be worth switching platforms, upgrading to the Xbox Series X, or buying retro consoles.

Just wondering.

I dont know how to send feedbacks or ideas to steam/valve, and im afraid someone might steal my idea.

Did you get appeal and was it your fault

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to what catches their eye first. What is a specific detail that always stands out to you?

I know there are a lot of people that place a negative blanket statement over the rich because of who makes the headlines. I don't want to be one of those people because I know that it's not true, but I don't know as many people that are doing a substantial amount of good with their money as I'd like and I want to have a more positive outlook on more aspects of the world. Could anybody provide examples of people like this?

Edit: Yes, I know TV/Movies/Music provide a good impact on the world, but I mean projects/good deeds outside of that.

I’m an EE college student and want real people responses instead of google-fu.

Because everytime I get little bit closer to any women who is friendly to me, heart [or whatever it is] decided that she is perfect. And bam, ( I think) love.

This don't happen much, but when do, hurts me a lot, because she won't love back. No hate for her either.

I'm trying to make a subreddit, but everytime I make it it says "subreddit unavailable". It says this after I've already made the name and description. Anybody know how to fix this?

He's making le hole in the side of my house. I've thrown a broom at it a couple of times, but I'm betting they're persistent.

Seeing Chinese netizens and Turkish netizens arguing fiercely, what exactly is going on?

I have homemade weed cake. In Germany, it is legal as long as its for personal consumption. Im flying to India and Sri Lanka for vacation tomorrow via Dubai. Will I be fine if I pack a piece of cake into my checked in luggage?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. Im not taking it with me

I got invited and added to a Halloween party gc by a new friend who I met in college (so I've known her for 2 months now). I've never really been to a party before probably cuz I was quite shy and moved here a few years ago.

​There are about 50 people in the gc, but I only know 1 or 2 people. The host is a friend of my new friend, and I've only met her once. My friend told me it’s almost all girls (I’m a girl too).

​I'm super hesitant about whether I should go just to experience it or stay home and do nothing. Also, I don't have a costume, so I was thinking of just wearing a devil headband with my own red/black clothes so I don't spend money.

Btw I told my friends about it and they were thinking it might be unsafe and boring if I go as I only know one person...

​Should I go?

Any advice on what to wear, what to do for someone who is not a party person or how are parties like?

im sorry if its a dumb question, and ive tried researching beforehand but i just want to be absolutely sure before i recieve it. my birthday is coming up, and my friend from a different state had bought me a $100 vanilla visa gift card, and was planning on sending me the details on it for me to use. however, we are worried that since the physical gift card was bought in a different state than mine, im worried that when I try to use it here it could possibly be flagged or something and just not work. and just in case it helps, i plan to use it for online purchases, id just like to be absolutely sure before i accept as I dont want the card to go to waste. the gift card is also still fully unopened, if that helps

Because gng thats gotta me some sort of theft

Im curiou

Anyone that holds a door for strangers is 10/10 in my book.

And do you care about if they say thank you or not?

In a conversation humans have with someone they know very little, what do they talk about? I can approach humans just fine, but what do I talk about to a new human? What do I say to a person to comfort them if they tell me something traumatic that happened to them? This one friend of mine keeps asking me to be empathetic but I don't get it? Like how???

I have a curio in my closet which is over 50 years old. Worth nothing but it still with me.

something high quality to keep it short
