I really wish someone would take it over and continue it or at least make a spin off. Santa Clarita Diet is genuinely one of the best TV shows and THEY LEFT US ON A CLIFF HANGER. I wouldve love to see how Joel would be as a "zombie".

For refrence I am now 19. I moved out of my mom's house a month after I turned 18. I am in a much better position.

So recently I made a tiktok just like a silly vent tiktok of me complaining about how when I was 17 I begged my mom for a laptop for college for christmas. I told her if she didn't get me one it would be fine, but if she did get me one I wouldn't want anything else. I specifically told her it was FOR COLLEGE and it needed to be able to support a specific software that is only available on newer computers (Like 3-5 years old). I told her I'd be fine with a refurbished one. I received a 2015 Macbook Air. That's right, 2015. Almost 10 years old at the time. And she got herself a $2,000 laptop and my brother a new phone. Because of this I literally just gave up on college because I could not afford a laptop and my student loans didn't even cover the full extent of my tuition. So I dropped out before I even began college. All of the comments on said tiktok called me insufferable and entitled and that I should work for what I want. I posted a comment on the tiktok explaining while I was living with my mom, as a minor, she had me pay rent. Buy my own food. And give her gas money when I needed rides to and from work. Basic necessities a 15-17 year old should not have to worry about because it should be provided by their parents.

One person responded to my comment and said "Oh you mean the place where you reside and eat?" I then said, again, I was a minor at the time. And it is a BAD parenting move to make your child pay you rent when they are a MINOR, not buy them the proper laptop, and than drop $2K on a laptop for yourself. They called me a lazy entitled POS. Whatever, I can't really argue with stupid.

Btw my mom doesn't even use the laptop she spent $2K on and recently I offered to buy it off her for the price of $1.5K. She said I was I was lowballing her.... She then sold the laptop on FB marketplace for $700. Oh! And my brother still lives with her and he's 17 and doesn't have to pay her rent.

There is plenty of other bull shit my mom has done in the past that got me placed in literal foster care. Such as but not limited to; blaming me for her ex-husband 🍇ing me when I was 13, accusing me of seducing her new boyfriend (who was 21 and she was 35), saying she should've gotten an abortion, telling me I am wasting my life because when she was my age she was in college (not true when she was my age she had a 1 year old, me), allowing her boyfriend to throw a used 🍆 ring in my face when I was 16. And many many many many many other things.

I am so fucking glad I got tf out of there when I could. Because looking back at ts it was genuinely crazy neglect, sexual abuse, and just general abuse. Fucking insane that after all of that shit and clawing my way out I am still labeled as entitled.

But you know what at least with that 2015 macbook I use it to watch tv and write novels I am probably never going to publish so it's not going to complete waste. And don't worry I found a laptop so graciously given to me by my husbands mom and I am currently enrolled in an online college to FINALLY get my bachelors. (yes I am married young please get over it I've heard every line in the book about it)

Yet after all this people in this comment section will probably call me insufferable and entitled. I really don't give a single fuckity fuck fuck fuck because I know I've probably been through worse than them and still made a way out.

Me and my husband have been married for a year. At the beginning of our relationship I told him how I love watching zombie movies and tv shows. I told him about The Walking Dead, Zombieland, 28 days, trains to busan and other zombie literature. I've read most of the walking dead comics and watched the whole tv show, that's how much I love zombies. I told him about the last of us and how it's not a typical zombie virus and it's one of my favorite video games. I haven't played the last of us because it was expensive, but also because I think I would just be too scared to actually play it. I mean I literally get scared when playing detroit become human, I am a scaredy cat. I told my husband the lore of the last of us because I've watched a lot of game play and I've read up on the lore. I told him he should play the game and he would really enjoy it.

He recently beat the first part and is started the second part. He told me "you know I found a great Pearl Jam song while playing?" and I said "oh really?". He then proceeded to explain the whole plot of the game THAT I INTRODUCED HIM TO in a way that made it seem like I don't know anything about the game. He said "The zombie outbreak happens and Joel loses his daughter but he finds Ella (he didn't say Elle, he said Ella lmao) and than they find out she's immune and tries to find the fireflies, you probably don't know what that means, to make her a test subject for a cure but than finds out they'll kill her and takes her back and than after that teaches her the guitar and than that scene plays"

LIKE YES. I AM AWARE OF THE PLOT. I AM THE ONE WHO TOLD YOU TO PLAY THE GAME. I told him "Yeah I know. You know I'm the one who put you onto the TLOU right?" and he said "no you didn't"

I ALMOST LOST MY MARBLES YALL. I explained to him yes, yes I did and then proceeded to correct the way he said Elle's name. Explained the deep lore, explained who and what the fireflies are and how they came about, and explained all the easter eggs and he said "oh. i guess so"

Like wdym you guess so. I AM LITERALLY THE GOAT OF ZOMBIE LITERATURE AND UR TRYING TO MANSPLAIN ONE OF MY FAVORITE ZOMBIE WORLDS???

it's not that serious. just was mildly annoying.

I don't have anywhere else to post this. My dad's side of the family were refugees from the 'famine' so this is dear to me. Lately I've been seeing a lot of false information spread about the 'famine' and basic Irish history. I will say, I am a fourth generation immigrant from the Netherlands due to WW2. So I'm a little more in touch with my dutch side. If you are from Ireland feel free to educate, inform, and correct me. I hope it reaches more people outside of this subreddit so people can actually be informed that the Irish 'famine' was in fact a genocide.

In the past year there has been a song that has been trending on TikTok. The song is 'Famine' by Sinead O'Connor, it's a song that talks about the fact that the Irish Famine (or the Great Hunger) was in fact a made up label to minimize the crimes that the English government did. Every time I see a TikTok with this song all the comments seem to think that the song is incorrect and the events didn't actually happen. It's hard to find anywhere that actually explains what happened to Ireland. So here's a full rundown of what lead up to and what the 'famine' was. It is a long read, but worth it to know more about what really happened and not what they try to cover up.

In the late 1100's England began invading Ireland. The invasion at this point was slow and the Irish people still spoke Gaelic and were mostly Catholic. However in the 1500's when King Henry VIII (the man who abused and murdered his six wives, yes that King Henry) took reign over England he also forcibly declared himself the 'King' of Ireland. At this point, England began to push Protestantism more and more onto Ireland. In the late 1500's the Nine Years war began. The Nine Years war began with Lord Hugh Maguire (and Irish Lord) revolting against a British officer. An Irish confederacy led by Irish Lords began to resist the English takeover. The Nine Years war ended in 1603 via The Treaty of Mellifont. In the treaty it stated that the Irish Lords where pardoned and they where only allowed to keep their land and titles if they submitted to the English crown. This was the start of the erasure of Ireland's culture, religion, and language. Irish rulers submitted to the English crown, English law took over, and Gaelic armies were disbanded. In the 1600's large areas of land were taken from the Irish people and given to Scottish and English settlers. In 1649 Oliver Cromwell, an English military commander, invaded Ireland to further destroy the resistance against England. Because of him there were mass killings in Drogheda and Wexford. In the late 1600's to early 1700's the British government passed Penal laws that prevented Irish catholics from getting an education, owning land, practicing professions freely, voting, and ever holding office. In 1801 Ireland officially becomes apart of the UK. The Irish language was no longer allowed to be taught in schools, or really anywhere for that matter. The Irish people stop teaching their children Gaelic and teach them English instead. In 1845 a disease called "potato blight" destroys most of the Irish potato crops. Millions of Irish people lose their main food source. People say that England imported corn to Ireland, yet more food is exported from Ireland. Starvation of the Irish people spreads rapidly, yet again, more food is being exported from Ireland. Food being exported such as: other vegetables, grains, fish, pork, cattle, butter, and so much more. There was still some food in Ireland, but most citizens could not afford to buy the food. While all this is happening the British government still demands rent from the Irish people. Many Irish people are still working hard, harder than ever before. Now warehouses are overcrowded and diseases begin to spread. 1847 was the worst year, it is often called the "Black '47". The British government shuts down all relief operations, they shut down soup kitchens. The Irish people are expected to support themselves and still pay England. Diseases like typhus, cholera, and dysentery flood Ireland. Many, many people die. And yet, food is still being exported from Ireland by the English government. The 'famine' 'ends' in 1852. By the end over 1 million Irish people are dead, and 2 million have left Ireland to seek refuge in America, Canada, and Australia. Yet, while seeking refuge they are met with prejudice. They were labeled as 'dirty' 'violent' 'alcoholic' and when they went to get jobs they were met with "No Irish Need Apply". They struggled to find jobs and lived in overcrowded slums. In England the Irish people quickly became a scapegoat for the crime, poverty, and disease in England. To this day Ireland is suffering from this. They lost their people. Their culture. Their religion. Their language.

This was not a famine. This was genocide by the English government labeled as a "famine" to diminish their crimes.

To clarify I have no issue with vegans in general. I only have an issue when vegans push this redirect that people who eat meat are immoral and bad people who don't care about animals.

Recently I saw a tiktok of this girl saying "Look this tofu is only $5, and this salmon is $20. It's cheaper to be vegan. Stop making excuses." What she didn't mention is that salmon is a luxury food item for most Americans. What she didn't mention is that that $5 package of tofu was only 14 oz.. What she didn't mention was that most Americans currently are surviving off of chicken that is $3 per pound and beef that is only $4 per pound. Sure $5 doesn't sound like a lot. But when you compare 14 oz of food to 5 pounds of food that changes the whole meaning.

It feels.. classist to me? In the depths of poverty my husband and I went to the grocery store every week and bought 2 boxes of rice ($5 in total) and 10 pounds of chicken (about $20-24 in total depending on the cut). And that's all we would eat for a whole week. Because that's all we could afford to eat. If we ate tofu we would've been buying $50 of just tofu. Salads for a whole week were too expensive. Chickpeas for a whole week were too expensive. Being vegan is expensive.

Maybe I am overreacting. But I don't think I'm wrong to say that most families cannot afford a vegan lifestyle. That doesn't make them immoral or wrong, that makes them a victim to late stage capitalism. That makes them a victim to poverty. I lived in poverty basically my entire life. So yes, I did survive off of ramen. I did survive off of eggs and cheese. I did survive off of walmart rotisserie chickens, because I, like many other Americans, have no choice.

Also, kind of off topic. But there are many people with physical diseases and illnesses that do need to eat red meat. My husband had cancer so he survived off of whey protein and red meat. Many people in america are anemic and have eating disorders and they need a large amount of protein and red meat.

Is it moral to buy mass produced meat. No, and you should eat meat from local farmers if you have to eat meat. But that doesn't mean you can shame the people who are wondering if they can pay rent next week for eating meat. Check your privilege.

This is super weird. But I occasionally get ingrown hairs on my pubic area. This time I have HUGE ingrown hair, and normally i just take my tweezers and get the hair. It's super painful and I've tried plucking the hairs around in/on it to see if those where the problem hairs. Nope they're not. I've tried squeezing it and I've tried like seeing if there's any hairs that look ingrown. Nope. Can't see any hair underneath the skin. So it might be a cyst but how do I get rid of it? It's soooo painful and i've had it for like three weeks now.

Not showing pictures for obvious reasons.

I'm 19, so I'm apart of Gen Z. I was born in rural New York on a farm, and moved to southern GA. Obviously, I was not taught about inclusivity growing up. I have two reddit accounts, this one is a throwaway. But I post on reddit on my other account usually asking about things on how I can be more inclusive, this is important to me because I'm currently in college for Elementary education and really want all of my students to feel they are in a safe and inclusive environment. But every fucking time I post or ask a question I get shit on and flamed for being ignorant. Like yes, I know I am ignorant that is why I am asking questions, SO I CAN LEARN AND GROW!! It is so discouraging to the point I wonder if I can actually even make anyone happy and I should just give up.

For instance, two weeks ago I asked reddit how can I help homeless people if I can't give them physical cash. And the amount of comments saying that I was a piece of shit for not giving homeless people money is insane. Like I am sorry, it is 2026 I do not carry physical money anymore. All of my money is on my debit and credit cards.

A couple days ago on tiktok I said I want to learn how to sign with ASL (and i'm actually currently learning ASL). I said I wanted to use ASL in my future classrooms and help teach students learn the basics of ASL when I'm a little more fluent. And so many people called me a bigot because I, as a hearing person, should not be teaching children ASL. I literally just deleted the video because I couldn't handle all the hate.

At this point wtf am I even supposed to do? I am trying to be better. But how can I be better and learn when no one explains how the things I say is offensive. Like no one explains why it's offensive they just say that it is offensive and I am wrong. I know I am wrong, but please tell me WHY i am wrong. I cannot learn if you don't tell me WHY.

Literally I'm so close to just not caring and becoming a bitter boomer.
