I hope I’m not the only one but I’ve given up on love. You have so much to loose for what? Cuddles? Your dog family and friends love you why do you need to fight with a man for him to care about you? They don’t even stop when their dick doesn’t work. They don’t stop in labor or in the nicu bathroom. All that goes thru their pee brain is bust a nut and poor me. Who else is choosing to be alone? Think about it maybe <10% of men are faithful including online.. more than 90% of guys watch or are addicted to porn, porn addiction 97% of the time(google) escalates to some sort of affair. You have more to loose than gain. Think about it we’re fighting to feed, sex work, clean pay bills for a dude that doesn’t ask us on dates doesn’t have any interest in us but only other women. Insane isn’t it? Maybe I’m jaded but personally I think it’s a waste of time to get with a man caretake for him and he can’t give you basic human decency. We aren’t gaining anything not safety, not protection not peace and not validation

I’m not saying I hate cut penises or Jewish people or Islamic people but it doesn’t make sense to me if the US isn’t primarily Muslim or Jewish. Culturally it would make more sense if there was a dominant religion requiring it but there’s not. My mom says she got my brothers circumcised for hygiene reasons but I have a feeling that caring for your foreskin is not an extreme hygiene hassle. Also, pathological phimosis isn’t that likely and generally only requires surgical intervention if it’s severe. I also see a lot of people make fun of those against circumcision but I don’t think their cause is funny, it’s a valid take. I just think it’s a stupid cultural norm and even more stupid that we make fun of people for raising good points against it. Luckily US circumcision rates are lower than before and I hope to see it fall more out of fashion especially among the secular/Christian populations. I will also acknowledge that I do not have a penis so this may not be my battle to fight in but I still have opinions.

Most of you ruined the world more than the people you target with your hatred. You got trump elected.

I hope you all reap what you sow.

App gone. Suck a big one. Fuck you.

As a small business owner, I am so thoroughly sick and tired of people going “oh, I wish I could make X amount of dollars per hour!” after rendering services.

1. a company owner is paying the government twice. They have to pay for their earnings and they have to pay taxes on what they pay themselves as an LLC. Take any amount that they get and divided by half and that’s roughly accurate. If they charge $100, they have to pay about $30 through the company, and about $20 of what they pay themselves.
2. businesses are not hourly. They aren’t. They do not cease to exist when not actively doing work. And there is a lot of work running a business. You are not paying that money for the time there. You are paying money for them to have everything they need to do that time.
3. you have absolutely no clue how punitive advertising is in this day and age. If someone is doing ads, they are almost certainly losing money just to build up rapport. In no world is someone paying Google Maps to advertise their company and making a profit off of the leads. They are absolutely losing money.
4. that money you are paying is for an ideal situation. You might be mad that you see the part online they charged you for and have a 20% markup, but that 20% is paying for when a job goes wrong. If you need to buy a $100 widget to do a repair, $120 is ridiculously fair to charge. Because if the nuances of your job ruins a widget, you sure as shit have no intention of paying for it do you?
5. Work is not without risk. Tradesmen have to sniff out the bullshit and traps. What you see as straightforward, a tradesmen sees as a calculated risk. Most jobs go straightforward, but it just takes one within random circumstances to completely ruin the business. You are not always being charged for time and skill. The risk is absolutely a factor. Anyone who owns a small business has absolutely done jobs where they lost money.

Every person i broke the news to that I am dating have told me that I dont have to have sex if I dont want to and they look terrified at the thought of me doing it!

I give off too much innocent vibes. People see me as a sexless creature but I am far too old to have that image placed on me.

Im starting to get upset. I dont want people thinking about my sex life but knowing when they look at me or i bring up my girlfriend that thats all theyre thinking about in the back of their mind is so disturbing to me.

so my mom does this thing where she feels like she can just insult me till breaking point and its really making me unhappy. she also just keeps repeating stuff like nonstop when she wants it to to get done.
for example, yesterday she wanted me to call the insurance company, i was eating, so i said after ill do it. she kept going on and on about how i needed to do it, and swearing if i didnt do it by 4pm that day she would hit me.. (im 19 almost 20).
okay so fast forward to today. my older sister has this scholarship thingy she wants to do, and i told her if u make an outline ill help u. she never did so i just didnt think abt it. i go downstairs and my mom says help ur sister w ur stuff TODAY. i want it done TODAY.
im tell her yeah ill help but she needs to make the outline/do her part. mind u ive been forced to do my sisters essays since she was in college & shes getting her masters rn. my mom gets mad cuz i say like idk not just yes, i say she needs to help.
then im making breakfast and my mom (not even 5 min later) says i need to do it for her. ngl at that point im like omg i said okay. she doesnt like my reply and starts complaining. i sit down and her insults get worse. she comes over to me starts hitting me
and then she calls me a slut, and im in a relationship (long distance) and shes like all u do is text, go give ur attitude to his mom, youre a bitch. ur ugly, she gets really vulgar and makes comments about my private parts. for reference my dad doesnt rlly know im in a relationship and so she keeps screaming so he can her like (fake name) "GO BE LIKE THAT W STEVES MOM". repeating it so my dad can hear and then ill get introuble w him. and its like the stuff i tell my mom when we r good she uses it against me.
she threatens to hit me till my face is all blood?? and honestly idk she seems like she would considering she hits me. she basically told me im not allowed to leave the house etc.

well thats it for rn im just in my room dealing w this.

I can’t fucking stand them. They act like pretentious pricks and walk around with an arrogant attitude. All the while they are voluntarily walking around with a noose around their neck. How fucking stupid is that?

like some dude shit talked my family and said my family isn’t real because they’re Indian and I got mad and he said “just ragebait bro” and didn’t wanna apologize. not ragebait. just being a ahole

First off, let’s just be perfectly clear: if there is a cover-up happening about Mitch McConnell so that they don’t have to have a special election this is unquestionably fraud.

All people involved should be arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy in the very least.

But I have zero doubt the DNC is not gonna do a goddamn thing.

They won’t even keep it in the conversation for more than a week.

I don’t know if it’s incompetence, wishful thinking, or downright malice.

But I am so sick and tired of the DNC rolling over on everything.

So recently I’ve returned from a trip in Japan and overall, the amount of little kids screaming and yelling has been over the roof. Not crying, just yelling loudly and talking loudly and screaming loudly and the parents are just on standby watching all of this happening and instead of saying “Don’t yell in public“ or correcting anything. Genuinely annoying when people wanted to sleep. (Clarification: Talking off being in a 13 hour flight from Japan to Atlanta)

I hate that we live in a world where people can get this fucked up. That there can be such casual hate and opposition to each other. That we can accept so many fucked up things as being common that it will soon be considered normal. There just aren't enough people with concern for others to fix it.

It’s very easy to criticize racial tensions when you live in a country without racial diversity.

And America is easily the most racially diverse country in the world.

And I’m not saying we don’t have our problems. The systemic racism and treatment of Black people is abhorrent.

Yes, Black people are more likely to get pulled over, more likely to get searched, more likely to be arrested, more likely to be prosecuted, more likely to be found guilty, and have much harsher sentences.

While at the same time historically being disadvantaged at every step, then claiming they commit more crimes ignoring all other factors, such as comparing it to poverty or consider considering how slanted the legal system is against them.

It’s truly awful.

But I just don’t think it’s uniquely worse and then some other countries pretend.

Other countries just don’t make the news as often our demographics are laughably different.

We have more racial tensions because we have wider racial demographics.

And as a side note, I’m using the term American because we’re the only country that has America in the name and you know which country I’m talking about.

I'm feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety since I'll be working my new job tomorrow. Ive been homeless for almost an entire year at this point and I'm looking forward to being able to actually make money and hopefully get out of homeless by the end of the year. However, I'm getting stressed out for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, new field. I have worked in retail for over 4 years and thats where the vast majority of my work experience comes from. Now, I honestly can't stand working retail anymore (at least front of house) so I figured I could switch careers. This is turning out to be a good move for me since this job is gonna pay more than any other job I have (it's a warehouse job) but I'm worried that I'll be terrible at my job. Or that I'll somehow hate it more than retail.

Second, since I'm homeless, I have to pay very close attention to my hygiene. It's hot and I'm sleeping outside, so it's hard for me to maintain a hygienic appearance. It would absolutely suck for me to lose my job because of odor or bad looks or something of that sort.

Third, this job is a ways away from where I sleep. With transit it would take 2 hours for me to get to the job, and some shifts I get off in the middle of the night, when transit is CLOSED. So I'll have to figure out how to get by for the night without getting in trouble due to trespassing or anything like that.

A part of me feels like the next two or three weeks are gonna be the toughest for me. Fingers crossed everything is fine, I get through it, and the employer likes the work I'm putting in... but working while homeless is gonna be one hell of a challenge and I really, really hope I'm able to pull through since it took nine months for me to even land this job.

It's so damn annoying having to argue with people, or having people misunderstand, because they didn't take the five minutes to read a title or post, which would have cleared everything up, answered their questions, and refuted the next 8 points they made. They just see me make a point in an argument title, then proceed to use the exact same 5 basic arguments I refuted in my post because they can't be bothered to read it.

Like if you won't read the post, then don't contribute in the post unless you agree with it, because there's a good chance most of your dumbass reasons to argue have already been refuted.

It genuinely pisses me off how people can't read. It's like they comment just to farm karma from other people who commented just to farm karma off of repeating the same damn point one hundred times.

If the issue is that reading comprehension is so low you can't understand what the post is saying, then you shouldn't be on social media.

Tzatziki sauce containers are always ALWAYS massive, but they expire in like 4 days from opening. How in the hell am I supposed to guzzle 3 pints of felafel sauce in half a week. If I ate felafel and gyro every meal and slathered it in sauce I don’t think I could finish it out. And don’t even get me started on Costco.

Do people eat it straight up like yoghurt? How do I stop wasting tzatziki?!?!?

Let me be perfectly clear here, hate is a strong word, but the correct word.

I mean I really hate them.

They just have this pompous attitude that they are better than everyone else and anybody who tries to do anything new is stupid.

They have a never-ending list of problems and holes to poke.

Even when it’s painfully obvious how a problem could be fixed in the adaptation.

And overall, they’re just shutting down even trying to see the vision.

And they never say it politely, it’s always wrapped in insults, because they’re not trying to make a point they just wanna shit on someone.

And God help you if you walk them all the way through every single point.

You are wasting your effort in playing chess with a pigeon.

It doesn’t matter what moves you make they’re just gonna knock over the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like they won.

And the biggest go they have is deliberately refusing to understand someone. They will make a person presenting an idea repeat themselves 50 times and still not comprehend a damn thing.

There is just something inherently wrong with people like this and I sincerely wish they would just go away.

Why do they have to participate in a post just to tell the person shut up?

Seriously, I hate a problem for every solution people.

Edit: by the way, if you’re about to type “there are no new ideas” you are exactly the person I’m talking about.

I miss when every corner of everyday life didn't seem to demand an opinion.

I miss when I could enjoy a musician, actor, or athlete without eventually being told what they thought about every controversial social issue. They have every right to speak their minds, just like anyone else. I simply miss when entertainment and constant commentary didn't seem so inseparable.

I miss when people could fiercely disagree about important issues and still recognize that disagreement didn't automatically make the other person stupid, immoral, or the enemy. Compromise wasn't always treated as weakness, and changing your mind after hearing new information wasn't considered a character flaw.

I miss when expertise carried more weight. Scientists, physicians, economists, historians, engineers, and other professionals certainly aren't infallible, but expertise now seems to compete on equal footing with whoever has the biggest platform, the most confidence, or the most persuasive 60-second video.

I miss when the news felt more like "here is what happened" and less like "here is what happened, and here is how you should feel about it." Bias in journalism isn't new, but the combination of 24-hour news, algorithms, outrage, and competition for clicks has made separating reporting from commentary feel like work.

I miss not knowing everyone's position on every controversial subject. Friends, relatives, neighbors, coworkers, and complete strangers didn't need to publicly announce where they stood on everything. You could know someone for years without knowing all of their beliefs and still decide whether they were a decent person based on how they actually treated people.

I miss being able to see an incredible photograph, hear an astonishing recording, or watch a remarkable video and simply experience it. Now my first reaction is increasingly, "Is this actually real? Has it been altered? Did this really happen?" We're entering an era where seeing something with our own eyes is no longer enough to know that it's authentic.

Maybe some of what I miss never existed quite as perfectly as I remember it. Nostalgia has a way of sanding down the rough edges of the past. But I don't think that's all of it.

What I really miss is a world that felt less performative, less tribal, and less saturated with everyone's opinions all the time. I miss being able to disagree with someone without immediately sorting them into a category. I miss expertise having authority without requiring a fan base. I miss information that didn't constantly demand an emotional reaction.

Mostly, I miss who I thought the world would become when I was in my 20s. And even more than that, I miss how much hope I had for the world that was coming.

My roommate asks me MANY times a day every single day what my plans are that day/the next day/for the weekend etc..

I asked other people and they said maybe she was nudging me to get out of the apartment more or something so I booked a full day of activities out of the house. Then she was like “that’s it? Anything else?” I went to the mall, went swimming, played soccer, visited my bf etc… how is that not enough?

I asked her why she asks and she says “just asking”. But I feel like she’s fishing for something because I’ll tell her what my plans are and she will ask 3 more times that day.

So I thought maybe she thinks I need to do more around the house? So I’ve tried that also and she just keeps on asking me.

People have suggested maybe she wants to do stuff with me but on the weekends she goes out and during the week she works from home. So usually the time she’s asking about is a time when she’s not available.

I don’t think it’s to make conversation either because she doesn’t really say anything when I tell her what I’m doing… like it doesn’t evolve into more conversation.

I know I could ask her to chill on it a bit but I’m worried based on what I know about it, that she will get mad at me because she was “just trying to be nice” or something. I don’t want to cause issues over something so “minor”.

I have boobs and a tummy and hips.

Unisex shirts are not in fact "unisex". They are made for people w no curves. They are boxes. And every cool shirt I wanna buy is stupid unisex and they look terrible and are uncomfortable and I HAVE to cut them up to get them to lay in a way that I like and they cost $35.

Please cool shirt companies, start offering actual cuts for curves.
