A year and a half ago, I really got into body care. I used to buy so many soaps, shower gels, lotions, lipglosses and body AND hair oils to the point where I had it for the whole neighbourhood. It all started because I always had a very basic hygiene routine and I started getting those GRWM posts on social media where they used a ton od products. I shared shower gels with my mom and I barely used lotion (which lead to dry skin, so that's also one of the factors how all of this started). I legit used to starve myself in school so I can collect my lunch money just to buy some overpriced lotion. I stopped buying new things back in april, I gifted my leftover cosmetics to my partners younger sisters and I gave away the new cosmetics that I have been hoarding to my friends birthdays. I decided to leave 1 shower, 2 lotions and 1 body oil to myself. People truly are correct when they say ''the less, the better'' because my skin isn't flaky dry anymore!! I am so happy and proud of myself! I can actually spend money on better things and I don't need to starve myself anymore!

It is highly concerning. I've came across multiple posts where teenage girls are simply posting themselves. The one's I've seen were normal fit checks. The comments had wayyy too many pedophiles trying to lure them to their dms or they keep pointing out their chest and asses even though they're fully covered. Whenever someone confronted them about their weird behavior, they got massively downvoted. Same with many game subreddits. I've seen people make disgusting comments about ingame characters who are under 10 years old. Don't even get me started on anime characters. As again, if you try to confront them, you get downvoted and suddenly you're "the asshole that's ruining all the fun". No one is talking about how SERIOUS this shit is. Those are real fucking people. People who you may walk past by on the street without knowing that they're an absolute monster. People who one day may hurt a child because of their fucked up brain.

Update: I wrote a comment on /japanesepeopletwitter on why is pedophilia so casual in here and got -8 downvotes. Holy fucking chuds these mfs need to be hung.

Asked a question on r/iphone about my iphone getting greasier wayy quicker than my samsung. Mentioned a key detail- that I'm obsessed with hygiene and I wash my hands and clean my phone wayyy too often, mfs started telling me random shit like "stop eating fried chicken with your phone" ???what? One mf told me that I'm dirty, as if they completely missed the fact that I mentioned that I'm clean. Only 2 people actually gave a decent reply. Is illiteracy a common thing here? Do people just read the title of the post and jump straight to attacking?

I got like 70gb of storage left if it means anything, the battery health is 87%. I just got this iPhone from a friend, I was an android user my whole life. Apparently people are saying how it ruins the battery

Asked a question about what type of batteries should I use for an early 2000s fujifilm digital camera because I don't want to spend a shit ton of money on panasonic ones that are 25+ euros for 4 pieces (rechargeable ones). Post already got downvoted for some fucking reason. Dude in the comments tells me to use alkaline batteries which are NOT for digital cameras, I tell him so but still thank him for his help, I get bombarded with downvotes. What in the actual FUCK is going on?? That whole comment section felt like a fever dream. There was only ONE dude who told me on what type of marking should I search on the batteries, and even shared his own experience with a digital camera similar to mine. Everyone else was giving me batteries who are over 30 euros like they're doing it on purpose. It's like they're mad that you want to save money. I know damn well those asshats act rich and luxurious on reddit to cope with the fact that they're unemployed dipshits who's only point in life is to be parasitic reddit worms who cling onto a random stranger on the internet and start sucking all their patience and hope in general humanity. They're not accepted by anyone in real life nor on any other place on the internet except for their small reddit bubble full of lazy sore losers. I can't believe I got flamed for asking for BATTERIES

I just this month started ACTUALLY using reddit and why is everyone so pissy jeez?? Is this REALLY that normal? I found a meme funny on r/playboicarti while apparently no one in the comments did (the meme was harmless too) and everyone started attacking me in the comments for defending the OP. This also happened on other subreddits too. Down votes, people cussing me out, threatening me in dms, the list goes on. I'm not even arguing nor anything, I'm being as calm and as kind as I can towards those people

I have an A56, one ui 8.5 and every time I take a photo and preview it, an automatic ai filter applies around a second later. It's genuinely so annoying. I tried EVERYTHING. I tried over 10 different things and nothing works. It's genuinely unbearable. I look so ai generated. My eyebrows are so textured, my lips look blueish, eyes painted on, hair really weird too. It happens in every lighting.

I've heard soo many people from all around the world complain about this! Of course I do understand that many need to pay rent for their cafes, then comes the materials, workers and all.. But a bottle of water that's around 50 cents in store is like 3-5 dollars (when translated to us dollars) is CRAZY. Especially considering how terribly low the salaries are in my country. When you're a (late) teen without a job, you're not even able to go to a cafe without spending so much money on a simple cookie and coffee, it's like a whole investment atp😭 I suppose one of the issues also is because people will continue paying no matter what. I just wish I could go to a cafe to celebrate a birthday without feeling immense guilt ugh . Also OH MY some even get me started on restaurant prices.

To add on: I just calculated and for 2 ceasars salads and 2 veggie drinks, you'd have to spend well over 40 dollars. The average salary here is around 700-800 dollars. It's genuinely crazy. You can't go out anywhere in this damn town without spending all of your savings on some basic food.

So you're telling me they will ban an individual for whatever reason, even though they never went against the guidelines and appropriately used Instagram, but won't ban hateful meme pages who someway, somehow, have accounts of 10+ years old? I've seen some right wing meme page brutally cussing out anyone who dares to even politely say they disagree, but then they'll do anything in their power to ban a random account and accuse it of account integration, terrorism or CSE (that's what most innocent banned accounts said they were banned for)

This was when I finished my freshman year of hs, I was freshly 16, he was around 20-22. He has a meme page on ig and I thought he was a funny, seemingly normal person. We talked normally, usually exchanging memes until one day, I posted a selfie with the Facebook mom angle, I was wearing a tighter black dress. I finally built a courage to wear it. I lost 20kg when I started hs. from 88kg to 68kg at 171cm tall. I was so happy. He replied to my story with "u preggo?" . I had a mini lower stomach pouch mind you. I asked him "Man did you ever even see a pregnant woman.." and he replied with "Well my girlfriends stomach is flat" yeah maybe because your girlfriend is pretty skinny (I knew her personally too, and she mentioned she struggled with a fast metabolism). Thankfully his girlfriend shortly left him after that, but I still think about that to this day. I put so much sweat and blood into working out and dieting (literally) and finally built up a courage to wear something nice and that's the comment that I got? Also why would a 20+ yo dude even ask a 16yo that☠️ I can't be the only one who thinks that's a bit weird.

It seems like it got worse after the 8.5 udate

Please. I look so badly AI generated whenever I take a selfie. I turned off every HDR possible settings. I'm on one UI 8.5 and it seems like it became worse after the update.

I finally got my hands on it yesterday because I couldn't find it in my country till now and it has an even sweeter taste than normal fanta. It also has some weird taste to it, it's like it's not even fanta itself. I have no clue how sodas work so that's why I'm asking this lol

I just got my highschool diploma today and I passed as an almost straight A student, I told my family to be careful about what they post and my grandma (the person I didn't even except this from) posted MY WHOLE DIPLOMA ON FACEBOOK. ALL OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IS IN THERE. Unique master citizens number and I apologize I don't know how it works in other countries but in my country it's such a sensitive document, you are strictly permitted of sharing it online unless you purposively want trouble for yourself. I kept spamming her to delete it and after 5 painful minutes she did. She has a couple of thousand of friends on Facebook and many of them are straight up problematic terrible people. I know nothing will probably happen but knowing that I have very hard college entrance exams in 12 days, my stress is over the roof. It's not like she doesn't know about online safety or anything. She was the one who taught me about all of that growing up! She was a lawyer dude. Many people saw the post which stressed me out. I just needed to let this out rn.

to add on, my family doesn't care about me so much unless it's time to post about my achievements. Suddenly I'm the star of the show

I always had issues studying, especially due to my very bad concentration problems. I tried so many methods and nothing work. I procrastinate so much whenever I have to study and now I have to study more than ever, to prepare a math test for what comes after hs. Does anyone have any advice? I have 18 days left. The thing is, I have an A in math, I just have to "remind?" myself of the past lectures that I studied throughout the year. I think about studying and practicing all day long but I can't get myself to start. I'm afraid of forgetting the problem and formulas and my brain freezes

19F, This has been an ongoing issue since march, I was positive for 3 viruses which apparently caused that too. I was in agonizing pain every single day for hours on end. I could only eat some whole grain protein crackers and quick soups. In mid april it got a bit better after I was on a trip to Italy and I had to lay off of low calorie diet food. I have been on a weightloss journey (not my 1st one) since February and so far I lost 15kg. But now my stomach can't break down protein. I legit just now ate some low fat greek yoghurt with a banana and the pain is back. I haven't had it in weeks or even over a month now. It only doesn't hurt when I eat fatty low protein foods. I don't even know what to do.

I just got banned from there because my post mentioned violence, which was a pretty important part of the story and I even tried to reword it so it sounded soft without leaving the key details to the story. The mod was pretty bitchy about it too in my dms. I'm confused because throughout a couple of months I've seen posts mention really messed up stuff and they never got deleted. Apparently I had to personally go and ask them (after my first post got deleted) on what to do and how to word it and wait for their instructions?

They're worse than ever. I have been a victim of false banning since 2023, but during this month I've seen countless of people reporting the same issue. I can't have Instagram at all anymore, (rant) I create an account, it gets banned, they ask for captcha, my email and phone number confirmation, video selfie and my legal documentation. I was banned way over 50 times since mid 2023 for sure. They banned my device, my IP, my phone number. Everything. I don't post, I used to debate with people before but it was nothing crazy (no insults and such) yet I saw mfs spewing slurs like it's nothing and their accounts are still on IG. Maybe this was a sign to let it all go.

To add on, I seriously think that they can't go like this forever. They'll have half of their platform banned.
