People who talk on speakerphone in public places should be exiled to another planet

Seriously why do you need everyone to hear your entire conversation. It's so unbelievably rude. Especially when they are screaming into it on a busy bus. Have some self awareness. Use headphones or something.

What's your opinion on school locking up phones?

Hey just wanted people's opinion on this lol.
I'm not in school nor do I have a kid in school but apparently it's a huge drama on kids having phones in school, my opinion personally is it's super scary for kids not to have a phone with them because of school shootings they have no way to contact anyone. But I also understand it being a distraction. Just a genuine question on what your think. No fighting

You shouldnt have to pay to return something you bought online

Like if its not what you expected or it just doesnt fit right. Especially when the pictures online look way different. Companies should just cover the shipping both ways.

People don’t fear losing you. They fear losing the benefits that come from having access to you.

Here’s the part nobody wants to admit:

No one loves a person.
They love the emotional function that person performs in their life.

Stop giving validation and you become “difficult.”
Stop giving attention and you become “annoying.”
Stop giving value and you become “invisible.”

When someone leaves, they’re not leaving you.
They’re leaving the loss of advantage.

And when they come back, it’s never for you.
It’s for the access you used to provide.

If you want to know who actually cares, remove the value you give them.
Watch how fast their “loyalty,” “love,” and “concern” evaporate.

People don’t stay because of who you are.
They stay because of what you provide.

Why can't ppl talk politics with No insulting and being a mean b*tch?

Ppl can't discuss political stuff without insulting

It's the same vicious cycle every time, either online or in person: didn't insult but got insulted, didn't interrupt but got interrupted and it happens again and again and again.

Ppl can't talk politics without being mean, rude and bitch ... beginning to wonder if I'm a weirdo. Seriously doubting myself lest I'M the problem.

Just wanted to vent this here, I can't take it anymore, if anyone can relate we are socially oppressed. We should be a movement tbh
