The rising hate on interracial relationships is absolutely disgusting. As a black woman with a white boyfriend seeing members of my own community hating and trying to regress what our ancestors fought and died over?? It’s scary to see and I’m worried about the future for us and our future children

It’s sickening seeing people online literally harass couples and saying “you’re diluting your race” MEMBERS OF my own community. Seeing a group of men who were surrounded by cops get in a young mom’s face and call her toddler a “mudshark” it’s so absolutely scary.

It’s genuinely concerning and concerning for our future children they wont be excepted in a world where they’re “too black or too white” or “too light or too dark” it’s so ridiculous and disheartening.

The ridiculous talking point that “you can’t be pro black and date outside of your race” or calling random white people “oppressors” like when does it end???

Why isn’t it you can’t be pro black and be homophobia or transphobic or colorist?? Why do we constantly look at white people and say they’re the oppressors? Does being pro black mean you can’t love who you love?? It’s ridiculous how people will try to police and judge anything.

People going online and saying oh these couples always look so guilty and ashamed maybe it’s because you’re staring at them THAT HARD to notice.

I’m not chronically online and I do take frequent long breaks but why has it become so cool to under appreciate the sacrifices made by older generations? Why aren’t we all just humans but social constructs of everything? Why do others have to feel so morally inferior and constantly fight over the moral high ground?

It’s bothering me and the safety of my own relationship seeing people literally harass couples or people based off of who they’re with or their color.

Why can’t love just BE love? Why do others constantly think they have to OKAY your existence or others? It’s really heartbreaking.

Advice/Rant

Hello I am now 300lbs as I am at the doctor. I have been under a lot of stress due to personal reasons and my job. I am sick right now but I recently went to urgent care before and the scale said it before I thought okay maybe because I just ate but nope it’s confirmed today. 306 to be exact.

I don’t feel or look 300 pounds I feel like I move around relatively and I do occasionally lift weights not as much as I used to but my job requires me to lift dogs and stand all day so I figured I’m getting activity there as well. I have start night eating again unfortunately it started a little bit ago but I don’t binge at least not like I used to.

I guess I need to get more active? More cardio and weight lifting I need to take it more seriously. It really sucks because I’ve always had weight fluctuations. I got my period in elementary school being bigger and taller than every kid. I have had long period where I’ve worked out and it slowly made a difference but I gave up.

I don’t feel 300lbs but when that comes on the screen oh my god does it feel bad. I’ve been under a lot of stress but this really does suck. My mom has a history of PCOS and diabetes I’ve always been pretty healthy but I’m worried now am I prediabetic or just lazy and fat :/ :((

Is there anything I can do to help combat this? There have been times where I’ve eaten right and seen the weight drop but it can go back up at the drop of a dime. I don’t know to much about PCOS only that it sucks and I have to pull chin hairs out because of some dumb hormones. I don’t feel like a lady I feel disgusting honestly. I don’t know what to do? or what to think? I’ve been insanely stressed and this is another worry.

Hi I’m newly diagnosed. I was prescribed valtrex and an ointment. It’s been three days not counting the original day Thursday the 18th. It’s been healing well and has gotten significantly smaller I’ve been using Vaseline and my own lip balm to keep my lips moist and sealing in the ointment with Q tips.

Although it’s gotten better my mouth and the nerves around seem to have gotten worse?? My mouth and lip were swollen but I can fully feel it now if that makes sense. It hurts to talk and eat because my tongue hurts so bad. I’ve barely been eating or drinking due to this and I’m starting to become dehydrated and depressed. It hurts to even brush my teeth. It hurts my tongue to swallow and I’m just in pain.

Besides being hyper sensitive and aware of everything right now and feeling gross I haven’t had the strength to clean my room I barely get up anymore I did a small workout yesterday. I haven’t had a depressive episode in a long time but it’s feeling like that. I don’t want to do anything and it hurts to do basic things Ex: talking, eating, yawning, etc.

Should I be concerned?? Should I get more medication? Is it possible the herpes has spread deeper or more? I took valtrex the morning of the bump. I feel generally hopeless I know it’s going away soon but it hurts so fucking bad.

I just got diagnosed and I’m distraught *Rant*

I had a cold sore pop up just last night and it was a pretty big one. I’ve had one maybe once or twice YEARS AGO when I was a lot younger. It was never this big or bad to my memory.

Last night I had one pop up and it looked gnarly along with tingling and itching. After doing research and being pretty upset i find it looks exactly like herpes.

Fast forward to now I go to urgent care as it’s starting to crust and I’ve been pretty upset and anxious.. she confirms it is a cold sore and sends out a culture.

I really don’t know what to do.. my boyfriend has been supportive but I’m so upset. My life is changed.. I know that’s selfish and insensitive as people are dealing with worse but it’s a lifelong virus I CAN STILL PASS ON WITHOUT IT BEING ACTIVE.

I cannot kiss babies anymore, I have to be careful sharing things with people, I have to be careful having sexual relations, I have these ugly ass bumps that will pop up. I’m so done man.

The big kicker after all of this my mom tells me casually she was on medication for it too. I faintly now remember her having cold sores sometimes. She just now tells me. I could’ve had it for years or gotten it just now. I could’ve gotten it from her or a friend or another family member or a relationship.

SHE TELLS ME AFTER I GET OUT OF URGENT CARE LIKE WTH. I have barely even kissed anyone, when I go out I’m cautious, I’m so disappointed and I feel disgusting with myself. I’m feeling so upset. Especially with her as she also kisses babies (family) and doesn’t care. She then proceeds to tell me she doesn’t have it anymore WDYM ITS A LIFE LONG DISEASE.

I CAN GIVE IT TO OTHERS WHEN IM NOT EVEN HAVING COLD SORES. I’ll never be able to kiss my future children the way I want to because of the fear I’ll give them cold sores.

I’m only 19 but I feel like my life is over before it even began but I have this now. Can anyone give me advice? On future flair ups, medicine, precautions, what to do and not to do? How to go about romantically interacting? Is Sharing a no go now? How do you guys tell people? I’m sorry I’m panicking

I have just spent the last couple of hours uninstalling/reinstalling the game and its packs, Restarting the game and Xbox multiple times, Fixing to the gallery where I couldn’t press any buttons.

I un-downloaded half the games I own just to try and make space for the crappy overpriced DLCS that 1. Don’t even work 2. Don’t add anything exciting to the gameplay 3. BREAK THE GAME

The game is quite literally unplayable with all of its glitches and bugs. They have been the same game breaking, file corrupting, BUGS FOR YEARSSSS ON END.

Spending WAY over 100 maybe even 200 on a game that doesn’t even work it’s utterly heartbreaking and ridiculous.

I just hope one of my game files and characters hasn’t crashed due to me undownloading and redownloading the dlc. It’s utterly fucking ridiculous and stupid. Not how many, not how long we’ve had them, the fact they are literally GAMEBREAKING you cannot play this game without facing major set backs or inconveniences due to it. Some people are lucky not experiencing these bugs but it’s absolutely insane and so angering and frustrating. I just want to play a game that’s it.

How did EA get the sims anyway? like how did it get to this? They are the worst company they are the epitome of a horrible/horrific gaming company. They are a horrible humongous disgrace and disappointment. The game is such an inconvenience what’s supposed to be fun is stressful and disgraceful.

It’s heartbreaking and so disrespectful to their loyal player base I think honestly most of us are done and looking for alternatives. It’s stupid.

Sorry I apologize in advance but the frustration and stress this has given me in the short period of time lmao. The amount of money I spend on a game that doesn’t work.

Hello! Me and my boyfriend met on a video game and ever since then it’s been pure bliss. One of the sweetest caring person/man I’ve ever met and one of the best relationships I’ve ever had!!

I live in Maryland and he is currently in Missouri/Kansas City It is a 16 hour drive but I was thinking about a round trip plane ticket. I find that to be a bit stressful in planning and timing and just nerve racking in general?

I guess my advice or even question would be how did you and your partner close the gap? Would u guys have any financial advice about the travels? I’m doing my own research and we probably won’t be planning right away as we are both just not ready in this moment with money and timing but would you guys have any advice? Suggestions? What airline did you guys use if any?

Our relationship is going really great and we are both very happy and healthy and excited for the future!! Thank you!

**TL;DR advice about planning a trip from Maryland to Missouri/kansas**
