Idk if yall have noticed but it has become an ever increasing cesspool the last couple of years. The race war and gender war seem have hit an all time high… Sadly Reddit is playing into it and suggests tons of rage bait and brain rot memes now. Does anyone know of any alternatives I could flee to? I don’t expect to get over my screen addiction so in this case I’m specifically asking for a substitute for Reddit. Something intellectually engaging ideally? I have a couple newsletters emailed to me which I like.

1. My screen time is still horrible. Like nearly 10hrs a day even when I go to a different city for the weekend.
2. I feel like I’m emptier than before? Like less of a personality, less vibrant? I feel more insecure and I know for sure that I’m way more naive. I am disconnected from people AND the news/ world happenings. Like I feel like I don’t have a strong identity anymore? Idk it’s hard for me to separate what is mildly existential with my separation from true social media, bc they’re so interlinked.

From my perspective loyalty never pays in a world driven by capitalism. My grandmother told me to keep long term relationships with banks for mortgage purposes etc.. but seems like a thing of the past. if it was ever a thing.

I keep seeing ultra expensive/nice homes posted by “first time home buyers” and so I am wondering if y’all would like to comment on your first home purchase you’ve made in recent years and whether or not you had the intention of staying put for like 20+ years.

Generally it’s financially smarter to stay for as long as humanly possible, and I also know that developers have not been incentivized to build starter homes in recent years.

Given this, I’m just wondering if a large proportion of y’all have chosen to wait longer, and save up more, so that you can afford a home that will be sufficient in the long term.

I’m excited but don’t know what I’m in for! Or any fore warnings? Any fancy new tech to get used to?

I had an 05 before my 09. Glad I’m skipping the 3rd gen since all I hear about is the head gasket. I’ve had to replace the big battery on my 05 and the brake actuator on my 09, so I’ve experienced some major repairs already. Thank you 😊

I’m 6 months clean of Instagram but my Reddit usage just keeps getting worse, and it’s very clear they’re trying to be just like meta and show me mindless entertainment clips. Any advice is appreciated.

This fine ass man centering Diet Mtn Dew of all songs?? Incredible work for 2026.

That tiny label? That subtle little warning? I’m pretty scared now :(

This is my first year ever having bad pollen allergies and I didn’t know better. I had lasik a couple years ago so I’m extra paranoid but I just woke up and my eyes were so bloodshot surely there’s some amount of rebounding happening but is this going to be bad? Do I need to see someone?
