I apologize if this isnt the place for this post but im not sure of any other reddits to post on for this.

USA- Pennsylvania

Context: I live in a very high Amish community, I've never had a problem with Amish up until last year. I live on top of a steep hill on a mountain, Amish have always used my driveway for a resting spot, which I have never once minded, I love seeing the horses, but last year they stopped picking up their horses poop in my driveway, they now have been pulling through my grass instead of staying on the stones, they have teared up my grass and my garden, and they have been tying their horses to a telephone pole thats about 30 ft on my property, and leaving them there while they are trespassing on my property, I have now caught them going to the bathroom in the small patch of woods I have infront of my house, and I have noticed a few small things here and there (decorations) go missing. I put up a split rail fence out beside my driveway to keep them from cutting through the grass, and they have now taken sections apart. Im at my complete wits end and now I dont even want them in my driveway at all if they are going to be like this. I have animals of my own, and I would like some privacy on my own property without worrying about them walking around while they have their horses tied up.

I have talked to my non Amish neighbors and they have also been having issues with the Amish not respectfing boundaries.

Is there absolutely anything I can do to stop this? I thought the fence would deter them but apparently I was wrong. I have picture proof of everything, and video footage of them walking around my property, but I know if I called cops around here they would just laugh in my face.

I’m 33, and I constantly see memes that say like “me the day I turned 30 after sleeping wrong” “me in my 30s after standing up” “…blah blah x,y,z”. All of them depicting someone in agony,

I don’t experience any of this, even mildly and honestly it makes me feel like an outlier.

I have almost no one in my life in my age bracket including my partner who is in her 20s so it feels counterproductive to ask her.

Am I supposed to be rapidly breaking down at this point, or is it just a meme? I’m not like an incredibly fit person, my sleep schedule is terrible (3-4 hours most nights), I don’t get hangovers when I drink, I can still take a 13 mile bike ride and not feel it the next day. Basically anything these memes complain about is something that doesn’t affect me and I just confused at this point.

My friends and I got into this the other day. Some say every 2 wears, others say once a month. I honestly wash my jeans when they get dirty or once every 4-5 weeks once my period is done. I have 4 pairs that I rotate every day. I only wear them to work and I drive to work everyday. I work in an immunology lab that has the temp set at 68° 24/7/365. I don’t sweat at all and lot of the time, I’m sitting and doing computer work while my experiments run. And I take a shower every night so my legs are clean before I actually put them on.

I’m 28 work a regular 9-5 nothing fancy, about $75k/yr and I’ve been doom scrolling way too many get rich quick TikToks lately everyone’s selling a course or showing off rented airbnbs It made me feel like I was falling behind, so I actually sat down and tried to figure out what the realistic non sexy path to $1M looks like for a normal person.

I’ve always been told that trees absorb CO₂. If we planted them everywhere, wouldn’t that solve the problem? Why don’t we do it? (Too expensive, useless?)

This might sound like a stupid question, but I really don't understand, and I've wondered about it for years.

I'm a closeted gay man from a very conservative country. I'm married to a woman, but I have zero sexual attraction to her or to any woman. Before I got married, I honestly believed I would somehow 'change' and eventually become attracted to women. But it never did.

I've only ever been attracted to men, but i never understood that i am 'gay'.

I can't even imagine what it feels like to look at a woman and be sexually attracted to her.

So this is what I can't wrap my head around:

Are there really men who feel the exact opposite? Men who are genuinely only attracted to women? and don't feel any attraction to other men at all?! Not even little? Not even once????!

I'm not asking to argue or make a point. I honestly just want to understand because my brain can't picture it. It's made me feel very different from everyone else, and if I'm being honest, it's something that's made me feel very depressed over the years.

I read that the top 1% wealthiest people in the US pay something like 40% of all taxes collected. Is this true? Where can I go to verify this statement? And if it is true, does that mean the 1% already pay their fair share in taxes? And even if the far left got their way and the wealthy had to pay more, wouldn't the government just p**s it away and us middle class citizens wouldn't see any benefit from it anyway?

I’ve lived in places like Fort Lee, New Jersey and Fullerton, California. In those areas I’ve never seen any crime or heard about anyone kill there (maybe some accident news). Because of this, I’ve always felt like the USA is a safe country.

But on the internet, people constantly say the US is super dangerous due to gun violence, political difference and more. When I told the internet about my experience, they said I’m just being brainwashed, not acknowledging and ignoring the true facts.

Is this true? Am I really bias about it?

I work with a lot of people who are immigrants from developing countries who tend to be very critical of the West despite living there. One of the many things they tell me is that they feel like the West has lost its way morally. Lots of things I hear are Westerners do not value the nuclear family. Westerners, especially youths, do not respect their elders nor do they value them. Westerners are lazy, sex crazed, naive, gullible, coddled and morally bankrupt. Westerners don't value education or honor. Westerners tend to be hypocritical and think that people from developing countries are less capable than they are when instead the only advantage that westerners have over people from developing countries is the opportunities they're provided from a young age. Why do people perceive westerners this way? Is there something that people from developing countries can see about Western society that westerners are oblivious to?

Definitely doesn't feel like it's supposed to be the target demographic. Is it just hippies who went on to become professionals and hold on to their whimsical days by listening to a band?

Edit: Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

Hope this doesn’t offend anyone, just genuinely curious as it’s important to some and I wondered how this may affect their lives with a disability from birth or that came later in life.

Edit: I suppose I mean for more serious cases, where it’s not something they can do / do comfortably now.

I always look bricked when I don’t and I don’t wanna look like that, but it’s also really uncomfortable wearing underwear under them

Edit: yall I found a pair that actually fits yall can stop replying now
