I won’t go over much of the details but it started about a week ago when I made a post on another subreddit. After some time the post ended up garnering some replies. However, some of the people who replied to me criticized my post and made certain claims that I considered to be completely delusional and simply untrue. As such, I felt the need to respond to them as a means of correcting them as well as giving them my perspective on the matter in the nicest manner I can do. While I consider myself well knowledgeable regarding the subject matter at hand, I’m honestly not that great when it comes to my debate skills. With that in addition to how tired I felt at the moment, and me not having any plans in getting into such an argument in the first place, instead of taking some time to research and fact check myself, I acted in impulse and wrote down whatever first came to my mind.

As such, my arguments came off as weak with nothing to back them up, easy for someone to misread, and overall making me look like someone who had no idea what he was talking about. As a reward for my poor debate skills, my replies were downvoted plus some not so nice responses in return, going so far as to make false assumptions about me. Even after I took some time to give them a more proper response backed with links to actual sources that I believed would well debunk their claims, it seemed it was all over as they have yet to get back to me. Either due to them reading my final response and had no idea what to say next or chose to no longer engage with me anymore as they were no longer interested. The original post has been taken down since and can no longer be accessed.

I know that arguing with random strangers on the internet is completely pointless and nothing more than a waste of time and energy. But after that whole frustrating experience, as someone who wants to be seen as someone that places logic over their personal emotions, I have felt a lot of embarrassment and insecurity since, wishing to go back and do much better in regard to explaining my positions. It also doesn’t help that this all took place on a subreddit that I regularly interact on. Haven’t made another post since, fearing someone may notice my username and will want to continue with the argument. Instead of continuing to dwell on what happened, I just want to properly move on from the experience and continue with my life, both online and real life.

As much as I love living with my dad, I can’t help but feel like a failure in life. I’m in nursing school right now and it’s been a blessing to have him in my life, but i also feel like living with him isn’t going to make feel as independent as I want to be and it’s definitely going to kill my dating life. Are my feeling valid or am I just acting like a crazy person

Ok to make a long story short: I hooked up with one of my co workers at the end of last summer and we’ve talked a little since then at parties and online (nothing crazy- a little flirty but we didn’t do anything past just talking) I think i have feelings for him but idk if it’s just my own anxiety and rumination about the whole situation. I just looked at his instagram story and he reposted a story with a girl and i’m 99% sure they’re together. I don’t know why but I feel so depressed about this and like I’m not good enough to keep his attention this whole time. I know it’s a silly situation but I’m working with him again this summer and don’t know what to do. I feel like i’m gonna make everything so awkward and I really struggle getting over things like this. Any advice??

Please be responsible travelers and double check your info when you make a call reservation. Like do your work research on where the shuttles are and not call the hotel on the day that you are at the airport. Please just do something like talk to the airlines staff odds are they know the location of the shuttle pick up spots.

PLS IF THE FRONT DESK IS NOT PICKING UP DO NOT BOTHER RESERVATIONS. It's like a child trying to pot the wooden square to a circle hole fuckinh damm it.

I'm saying this because people that work in hotel reservations get nothing out of you. Our stats are purely based on how many rooms we sell and not the people we assist. So please either just do your own work and research or just ask the airlines staff like a normal human being.

hey, just want something to let out. i hate my parents so much lol, they support m e financially sure lol im rich financially, im loved financially, im the perfect son financially. but emotionally?, im the poorest of the poor, im an opehan, im a loser, im nothing emotionally with my parents. i'd rather live with another whole new family than live with these asrseholes. they use silence as punishment rather than space, they use anger to reprimand and physical use to discipline. i hatethem with my whole life and id die on this opinion.

This was a while ago, but I keep thinking about it and have to get it out

For the first three years of highschool, I hung out with this girl, she was really sweet and fun to hang out with.

But she had developed an eating disorder, which is horrible, but important to the story

I have trouble with my thyroid, potentially hyperthyroidism (also important to the story) which causes me to have low body weight. It's not something I can control and honestly, it can be hell.

So, this friend's mom believed that I was the reason her daughter got an ED because of something I have little to no control over. And I thought me and my friend would still be friends, yk, because that reason is stupid, my medical condition is not a reason for her medical condition. But no. This friend wholeheartedly agreed with her mom and even started treating me differently, making it pretty clear she at least partially blamed my condition for it.

So yeah, then we broke off the friendship. Which was honestly for the better because she also hung out around some toxic people from our school that I didn't like

I think everyone that works in a call center feels the same way to some degree. I work in hotel reservations in South East Asia and man do these American clowns have some shit to say. Imagine them telling you that they want to cancel a reservation that they just made and you check everything oh it's a little cheaper compared to our other rates and apparently it's a non refundable reservation. The audacity of these fuckers getting mad because they made a mistake like bitch Im trying to help you here I'm asking if you were informed of this or not.

Anyways fuck you and I hope y'all get what you deserve. 💣

(fyi that is the case with hotel rates if its a lot cheaper always check the fine print for cancellation policies if it needs a deposit or if it's non refundable)

Context: I (22M) am usually the listener of my friend group. I don't really have any social life outside of this 4 member group. I live with one of them in a PG.

What happened? : We were out for dinner last night, and as usual we were talking, I was listening.

Whenever I tried to engage in the conversation they just sorta ignored me and continued their conversation. The conversation led to a point that they ranted their daily problems. I too, felt something to share which had been bothering me for a couple of months.

I like a guy in our PG whom they are friends with. I avoided playing with them sometimes because he was playing with them and seeing him would create a sense of uneasiness/viraha/yearning for me knowing that I can't be with him.

While walking i told them this, they asked "Do you like him ?". I replied "yes". Then, then, they, just, continued their own conversation.

It was my first time expressing myself and accepting this in front of anyone else. I was my first time trying to be vulnerable about this. And they, they, just ignored it!

I never feels heard among them.

This dude messaged me and offered $500. Wanted me to send him a video before payment was made and I sent him over 20 customers worth of proof of my past sales and he still insisted that I send him one video first before paying. I told him to send $5 then I'd send the one video and then he could send the other $495 for the rest of the videos. Dude still refused to even do that so I called him out on it and he called me desperate and that "he isn't going to fall for it" because I didn't send him any previews even. Directed him to look at my entire post history that's full of previews and apparently I'm in the wrong? Can't win with these scumbags.

I just needed someplace to rant and I really don’t have any friends or family to talk to lol.

So basically I have this friend who we’ll call Amy. I’ve known Amy since literally primary school (I’m in college now so it’s been a long time). And our friendship has been on and off the entire time.

Not that we had any arguments, sometimes we’re just very close and the other times we barely speak. Currently you could say we’re just venting buddies, even if Amy only ever vents to me and doesn’t let me share what’s on my mind.

Now I’ll get to the point. Amy asked me for help on an assignment and I obviously helped her. One thing about me is that I’m a huge over sharer. I don’t know when to shut up. So after Amy thanked me I started talking to her like friends do.

What we talked about were mundane subjects like video games. But then she started venting to me about her friends ignoring her (I wonder why?) and her vaping addiction.

I tried to comfort her that it isn’t her fault as I usually do. It’s become a routine with her atp. And then I bring up my own brother’s vaping addiction, one thing leads to another and we are talking about the guy who sold the vape to Amy.

The guy (let’s call him Steve) has a girlfriend (who we will call Anna) who are pretty cute I’d say. I was telling Amy how my brother had told me that Sara (made up name if you couldn’t tell lol) had asked Steve to go out behind Anna’s back.

Obviously I didn’t believe it, and neither should Amy considering Sara and Steve are cousins! My brother is a very unreliable source, which Amy also knows!

Yet Amy goes on to tell Sara’s best friend Brianna (made up name) about what I had shared? And then Brianna goes on to tell Sara.

Now I’m being interrogated by Sara too.

I know I’m probably overreacting but it just makes me so sad as to the fact that I really can’t share what’s on my mind with out these bitches going on to twist all of my words.

It makes me glad I haven’t opened up to Amy, who knows who could’ve known all my business? But I don’t know, am I wrong to feel like I hate Amy? Am I over reacting?

This is such a non issue but I'm just disappointed in my oat milk. I make an iced coffee every day with oat milk, and the other day I bought a cheaper one bc oatly can be expensive here. It says "unsweetened oat milk. Great for coffee and cereal". I was so excited to make my morning coffee today.

It's grim.

It doesn't even taste like oat milk, it tastes like how I imagine the saliva that has gathered in a tuba spit valve tastes. Idek why I bough unsweetened, it has the same amount of calories as the one I usually buy so it doesn't even matter. Ugh

Yeah, you read this correctly.

I have been trying to sell my V-card since last year.

I am not interested in marriage or having children, and I never saw myself as a housewife.

Money is a little tight and I thought “hey, people lose their virginity for the dumbest reasons and most women I know for a fact who married virgins didn’t really end up with their husbands forever. Some of them were left penniless, too. If I’m going to lose mine? I have to make it count, right?“

In a society like ours, money is king so why not use this opportunity to get something that will benefit me in the end?

I tried sending ads everywhere I could, even opened a Seeking account, but every single time all I get are time wasters, possessive jerks and dumbasses thinking I’m playing about this.

My instructions are more than clear and my demands more than reasonable.

I verify, I am open to dialogue and nothing matters! It‘s really messing me up mentally. Like… am I that worthless? Or ugly?

Well, “sorry” I don’t have huge fake tits and look like a slut. If that’s what you thought a real virgin looks like, then guys you all have brain rot.

This happened yesterday and left me furious. I made a post asking for legal advices about a delicate situation I found myself in. This guy, once he knew I'm white and blonde switched his tone from mockery to admiration and said he wanted to hire a lawyer for me?. My tone clearly stated I'm not interested in befriending nor dating him. But he kept trying his chances, and said to continue talking to him i should prove I'm female through a pic. As apparently "his favorite girl turned out to be a guy". I'm drowning in court documents and in a honestly petty situation guys are trying their chances. He said he's a PhD student in math too, but when I asked him a simple math question he gave an AI generated reply. I got useful advices but lot of guys tried taking advantage by asking for pics or fetichizing what I go through.

My younger brother gave my guitar to his friend without even asking me and I’m beyond angry.

I came home from college and found out he’s basically been treating my room and belongings like they’re his while I’ve been away. He sleeps in my room now, which I originally didn’t care about, but then I realized my stuff keeps getting messed with.

The biggest thing is that he loaned my guitar to his friend WITHOUT asking me first, and I still don’t even have it back! On top of that, parts of my keyboard setup are missing too, including the sustain pedal.

What’s driving me crazy is that everyone around me acts like this is some tiny issue. My parents will say things like “give her guitar back” or “look for the pedal,” but nothing actually gets done and then the situation just continues.

And before anyone says “he’s only 15,” I honestly do not care. He is old enough to know not to give away someone else’s instrument without permission. He plays drums himself, so he KNOWS instruments and music equipment are personal and expensive. If I started taking pieces from his drum set or loaning out his stuff without asking, he’d be furious too I bet.

I’m just tired of feeling like nobody takes me or my belongings seriously!

So my boyfriend is a couple years older than I but he’s always been a complete horn dog. Like he constantly is trying to have sex with me and throws a tantrum if I say no. Well last night I had fallen asleep on his chest and I wake up to him lifting my shirt to touch my breasts and him trying to reach his hand into my underwear. I feel completely violated and I kinda just froze. I just feel so pissed because I know that isn’t right

Sa mga tao na galit kay Sara at gusto na ma impeach sya- please do some deep research na muna. makinig kayo sa panig ng kabila huwag kayong biased na parang media na binayaran.

Lahat ng allegations nila laban kay duterte ay gawagawa lamang. yung sa pag gamit ng funds na iunubos nya ng 11days hindi totoo yon. Ginawang malaking issue nila yon kasi against sila sa plano na gusto ni sara kaya pumalag sila at binaliktad yung story. at doon naman sa video na nilabas nila sa pagbabanta kay bangag ay spliced na enidit nila. hindi pinakita yung full video- may full video yon pakinggan nyo ng mabuti. yong spliced video ayon yung inireklamo nila at hindi yung full video taena nila kung gaano nila ginawa yon para lang makasuhan si sara. doon naman sa money laundering kuno na pumapasok sa bank account ni sara at kitty ay gawagawa lang din. what if may supporters sila na bigatin din at kasusyo sa negosyo na gusto sila supportahan. binalita nga dati na binenta yung bahay ni lolo digong sa davao nung kinuha na sya ng icc, malaking pera yung kailangan nila kaya binenta nalang nila yung bahay. at hindi nyo alam kung gaano kasakit ang nararamdaman ng mga supporters ng dds at lalo na sila family ng duterte at si lolo digong. matanda na sya. tao ang nag push sakanya na tumakbo bilang presidente tapos ganun lang ang gagawin sakanya. mag deep research kayo para makita nyo yung videos na tao ang nag udyok na tumakbo sya.

Doon naman sa sinisisi ang mga dds kasi dds naman ang bomoto jan kay bangag. si bangag lumapit kay sara para makakuha ng boto sa visayas at mindanao kaya ayon nag uniteam sila non at ayon nga oo sinabi ni sara na iboto nyo to kaya binoto nila pero take note nung election si sara ang highest votes kesa kay bangag meaning hindi lahat ng dds bomoto jan kay bangag. huwag kayong bias makinig kayo sa kabila at mag deep research kayo huwag kayo makinig sa balita ngayon bias na ang balita hindi na makatarungan. basta mag deep research kayo oy

may internet naman kayo nakakapagod na mag explain. haha

p.s hindi ako die hard dds pero naiinis nadin ako sa mga tao na puro nalang hate/biased mga pinopost dito. akala ko malawak na ang pag iisip ng mga tao dito hindi pa pala may mga narrow minded din pala.

bahala na if madown vote ako basta i will speak the truth. period!!!

this reddit surely hates me br, it banned me many times

PSA on behalf of everyone and anyone dealing with hair loss:

When I am at your clinic for PRP treatment for my hair loss…

….or buying a halo hair piece

…..or at the dermatologist‘s office for my hair loss

and I ask you where I can throw away the handful of hair that I have lost while sitting 15 mins in your establishment DO NOT SAY THE FOLLOWING WORDS TO ME:

“Oh, I shed, too”

or “I’m losing my hair, too”

or in anyway attempt to normalize or compare your experience to mine while I lose a hundred hairs just in the time we are talking, and you stand there with your full head of hair talking to me like I’m fu(king blind.

Say nothing. I’d rather you just say nothing than compare your “hair loss” to mine.

You don’t know what you are talking about

Are you currently wearing a hair piece?

Did you ever get PRP scalp treatment?

Are you taking a bunch of medications to try and stop the hair shedding?

No?

Then sh-t up!!!

Attempting to normalize my experience with yours is NOT EMPATHY. It’s patronizing. If I could, I would scream at every person who has done this, but I can’t so here we are.

This announcement can also be applied to most everyone, everywhere. Unless you are experiencing life altering hair loss, your normal shedding IS NOT THE SAME. Say nothing. Just say nothing and point me to the trash can where I can dump my fistful of hair in peace.

Thank you

It’s difficult for me to get to sleep and after coming home from running errands, my body crashes. I’m about to fall asleep when I hear my doorbell ringing multiple times. I don’t answer the door if I’m not expecting anyone but the person resorts to knocking. they aren’t being obnoxious about it, but they just won’t take the hint I have no intention of answering the door. it’s almost noon and realizing the person isn’t going away, I won’t lie, my annoyance took over. I’m exhausted, on my period, only had two hours of sleep last night before having to wake up early for an appointment and errands, and my body barely made it home before I collapsed from exhaustion. now, this person refuses to leave and is ringing my doorbell regardless of a note over it saying to not ring bell and knocking. I opened the door and I guess my face said it all with a glare. a woman looked surprised before telling me she’s my neighbor and wanted to invite me to her church. I just told her no thank you and I’m not interested. she just said okay and left. I was woke up for that?! does she get commission for bringing people to her church or something? she rang the bell and knocked on my door for a few minutes for that? she was just dressed in jeans and a blouse. not a Jehovah witness or whatever. now, I can’t get back to sleep and my body feels so heavy from exhaustion all I can do is stew in frustration because I was woken up for something so minimal.
