No it’s not called the “let me just sit here going 10-15mph over the speed limit and not pass people” lane. It’s the passing lane. Pass and get over. Even when I’m passing people and I see someone approaching from behind who is going faster than me, I just move over to the right and let them go ahead of me because I also don’t wanna have some neurotic butthead on my ass more than I need to.

Have some self awareness. Pass and move over. It’s been astronomically worse this week.

I am so sick of people being called larpers or fake fans because they only watched something and did not read the source. It literally doesn't matter. And I say this as someone who usually reads the source and watches the adaptations.

This is my little "hot take" that shouldnt even be hot, its just that so many people dont want to hear it: the show or movie or whatever is its own Canon. You dont need the written source to watch it, enjoy it and understand it. If something happened in the source but it didnt happen in the visual media it was adapted to then guess what? Its not Canon in that adaptation.

I have had discussions with people over shows and movies and anime and one of us will be like "yeah i didnt like this character and i hated that they did xyz" and theres always someone that says ​"omg that didnt even really happen! Fake fan. In the comic this happened instead."

Well, we arent talking about the comic, we are talking about the show. Its one thing to say like "yeah, I hate that they had the character do that because it doesnt happen in the comic" but to call someone a fake fan because they are talking about the Canon of the show and not the comic? Stop being so fucking annoying. This is why people dont like discussing things with people like that.

Seriously ive seen people get so heated about being larpers or whatever when people are discussing the fucking MCU! It is clearly its own adapted Canon.

Even things like manga to anime adaptations. You can tell someone that something different happened in the manga but calling them a fake fan because they arent going to read all that and would rather just watch the show? Ridiculous.

If it didnt happen in the show or movie or whatever then its not Canon to that universe. Just because something happened in the comic doesnt make it Canon in the show unless it comes up in the show. You are not more knowledgeable or superior about the SHOW because you read the COMIC it was based on. Seriously look at all the changes made in the MCU or the boys or like any batman adaptation. They arent scene for scene or word for word. Just stop.​

Honestly, im more amused than anything. I hope they got what they bargained for.

My only concern is that my info was on it, and now I'll have to crap in a box again.

I’m so fucking tired of food and having to think of food and what the fuck I’m going to make in the morning and for fucking lunch and for fucking dinner and then having to do it all again fucking tomorrow and the next day for the rest of my fucking life. Rousseau was right, man is born free and everywhere in chains, and it’s fucking food that hangs off my goddamn neck.

My mother was in tears when she came home, she was at the mall and she said she was surrounded by people when she fell hard. She cried for a minute and then stayed there getting her composure, still on the ground. Not a single person offered to
Help her up. Finally she was able to get up and get to her car. I am so angry. I elevated her legs, gave her ice packs, and brought her dinner.

I have no place to go to talk
its so clique but I just am depressed. everyone is depressed and I feel so “woah is me” saying it. I have no one to talk to because i feel no one hears me and they dont take me seriously. All my life ive gone above and beyond for everyone close to me and now that its there turn its like its too much to do the same. I didnt hang out as much with my one friend and she said she held a grudge over me and that she was mad at me over it even tho i told her how i was doing. Im on a medication journey right now and I go to therapy and nothing is enough. I feel horrible so often and nothing can keep me happy. I dont know what I need but I just have no one I feel comfortable talking to. I used to cut myself but i havent in a long time in hopes doing the right thing will help but it hasnt. I feel so crazy like I need to go to a pysh ward. I want to quit work and run away and drown myself in a river.

Its my second day on the job, I come in, the boss isnt in and no one has idea where im supposed to be or what im supposed to be doing.

So it makes sense to me to send the boss a quick text asking her where she wants me today.

And of course the dumb as fuck, 4 years of highschool in one room bitch is like "ummm youre not supposed to be on your phone thats the rooooolz!!!"

Bitch shut up ive been doing retail since before you started inbreeding. Im not playing on my phone im communicating with the boss. Ain't my fault you cant read so you didnt know phones could do that.

My friend and I had been talking about going to an amusement park for months and we finally decided to put a plan in motion to go. The amusement park is 3 hours away so I had to take the day off of work ahead of time in order to go and he did the same.

We planned this 2 months ago and 2 weeks ago I was trying to make sure he had his ticket and he said that money was really tight for him right now so I offered to pay for his ticket and he accepted. It was $80 but I didn’t mind at the time because I really wanted to go.

We were supposed to go on Friday. Well on Thursday night, I texted him telling him that I was coming to pick him up the next day and he said “I’m at my girlfriends house so I’ll just leave from there and meet you at the park”. he literally just got a new girlfriend. So I’m like “ok??” And the next morning, I call him a bunch of times because I want to make sure he’s still going before I head out. I get an answer 4 hours later telling me that he wants to stay with his girlfriend because she doesn’t want him to leave.

I literally called out of work and spent $80 on this ticket and have been excited about this for months!!! I’m so pissed off!!! I hate him so much. I get that he has a new girl but he made me waste my money and time.

Why is this so confusing to people?

Why is this misspelling so common?

I’m starting to become triggered by it because I’m afraid Websters dictionary is going to officially change each definition to mean the same thing.

My mom has an unhealthy attachment to both me (23f) and my brother (25m). She didn’t let us leave home when we went to college and now I’m trying to go to law school and she’s crying every week about me leaving. She hates that I want to leave and sees no reason why I shouldn’t stay at home and go to a law school nearby. Thing is I hate the weather of the state we live in and prefer the cold up north.

Anyway today I got news that my grandma who’s 80yrs old and lives in a different country fell and has been having serious health issues. I suggested maybe we can check her and my grandpa into a retirement home where someone will be there to assist them round the clock. She had a breakdown about how I was gonna do the same to her and my dad and that she was scared of me. I told her that we can’t afford a full time nurse for my grandparents which is why maybe a retirement home would be better. She lost it and said if she was gonna die she would die in her home and if I checked her into a retirement home she would haunt me for the rest of my life. She’s absolutely nuts, and I’m fucking tired of her emotional mood swings. The logical part of life is irrelevant to her in most decisions she makes and I’m tired of being labeled heartless or ungrateful because I’m trying to be logical.

I also told her that the comparison is unwarranted because my grandparents live in another CONTINENT. And that of course I would take care of her since we live in the same country like it’s no big deal man.

I'm this 🤏 fucking close to snapping.

WHAT PART OF "YOU CALLED THE WRONG DEPARTMENT" ARE YOU NOT GETTING?

I expect this from customers but not from someone else that works here.

Okay, so not really an angry rant, just a dumbfounded one I guess????

Im 20F, and i have some mobility issues. We don't know what it is, nor whats causing them, but its been an issue since I was 7, and has just been getting worse as I get older. Currently (When I CAN walk- sometimes I go through episodes of paralysis) im using crutches and a rollator. I mainly use my crutches for day to day things, short walks etc. Long days/nights out though, or journeys outside my town I'll use my rollator. Its not the best, I still end up in a lot of pain, but its making do for this now.

But ive noticed so many things since I started using them. The first thing that jumps out at me is how people act/treat me depending on how i look. If im going out, and its just a normal day, I'll go out in something comfy. No makeup, hair up, leggings and a hoodie. Just going about my buisness. On those days, ill get so many dirty looks, snarky comments, and ive actually been physically assaulted by an old lady because "she needed the disabled seat more than me", and yeah. Just not very nice honestly. *HOWEVER*. On the days I DO decide to dress up, hair done, makeup done, nice outfit, I get treated *so* differently. People start talking to me, people start holding doors open, start trying to help me up stairs. There was actually one time i was tryna figure out how to get up stairs with my rollator, and some guy, said nothing, just came and absolutley yoinked my rollator, took it up the stairs, came back down and carried me up. Didn't ask. Didn't know the guy. Just that. I was too in shock to do anything though to be honest, because who comes up and picks up a stranger??? 😭

So theres that. But the other thing i noticed, and i noticed it alot. Is the way people *use* My mobility aids to try hot on me/cat call me. Like last week, i was out with my pals in Glasgow. We were walking to a shop, no issue, when some guy came up and asked what was wrong with me? Which. Thats so rude, wtaf? I just told him I have mobility problems. To which he responded with "Oh alright then. Well I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the view from behind" 😦 Me and my friends forgot to turn off the face subtitles at that. The guy very quickly fked off. But thinking about it, thats happened so many times. Ive had people say i could sit on my rollator while they do me, said i could use my crutches while they do it. I had one guy say he could tie me to my rollator and edge me. Which- again. Stranger mind you. Did not know the guy.

And I just dont understand wtf is up with people. What is the difference between a disabled person who's dressed comfy vs a disabled person who's dolled up? And what is the deal with people using my mobility aids as a pick up line/way of hitting on me? Especially to a stranger? Who hits out with that kinda shit? I'm so fking confused

I genuinely find this whole thing so confusing.

I’ve spent my entire life somewhere in the grey area.

What do I mean by the grey area?

I mean that I can go out looking my absolute best, fully dressed up and made up, and I’ve never in my life had a man harass me, hit on me, ask for my number or Snapchat, or actually approach me. Literally untouchable in that sense—to the point where I don’t even feel the usual fear that women might have when they’re out, because these situations simply never happen to me.

I’m also 28 and never been in a relationship or pursued romantically. EVER, and I’ve never really felt like a man I’ve met was actually attracted to me in that way.

I know I haven’t reached the point of being ugly, so I can rule that conclusion out.

But the fact that none of these things ever happen to me has made me feel like I’m probably just very ordinary-looking, maybe even below average, and that there’s nothing particularly striking about my appearance that would make someone notice me or be attracted to me.

Especially because I constantly see other women getting approached, followed while they’re driving, having a guy pull up asking for their Snapchat, being approached while they’re sitting at a café, or having men find some other way to make a move on them.
And not once in my entire life has anything like that happened to me. Not once.

And yet… whether I’m at work, out casually, or literally anywhere, whenever I happen to look up at a man, I very often find him already looking at me. The second our eyes meet, he looks away.
I’ve even noticed some guys turn to their friend, nudge him, and then both of them look over at me.
It happens so often. I’ll randomly look at someone and find them staring at me, and then they look away. Some don’t even look away.

And yet, out of the hundreds of men I’ve had these moments with, not a single one has ever gone beyond just looking.

On top of that, whenever I meet someone online and they see photos of me (some are men) they always say that I’m gorgeous and at least an 8.

So now I’m confused.

Is there some arrogant, overly confident part of me that’s taking these little moments and turning them into something bigger than they actually are? Like maybe these are completely normal things that happen to everyone, and I’m just letting them inflate my ego? Are these people who see my photos just being nice?

Or is there actually something else going on?
And if the answer is that I am attractive, then that doesn’t make sense either. Because how have I never had any man peruse me romantically or even display the slightest bit of interest towards me other than glances and looks here and there?

Life keeps throwing mixed signals at me and I don’t know how to perceive myself anymore.

For context my parents wanted me to be a lawyer or doctor but since I chose math (it's my passion) they now expect me to be a calculator and figure out their sales tax, year taxes, stock market investment trends. Not to mention my friends that somehow want me to figure out what 1278 * 5742 equals within 1 second and if I don't I'm a failure and picked the wrong career.

It is baffling to me how many people don’t understand the importance of good teachers. Education and healthcare, in my opinion, are the two pillars of any healthy society. We pay doctors and nurses enough to make a decent living, yet every teacher I know is struggling financially. Despite having one of the most difficult and essential jobs out there, they are treated like shit and do not get the respect they deserve.

Just looked back on some of my old photos and damn. Not tryna self glaze but pre-covid me was borderline handsome, even though I didn’t think so at the time.

I’ve spent years since letting my body go. Eating the same bullshit I’ve always eaten but minus the exercise I used to do. Add alcohol to all the mix and you get the picture.

I went from a visible jawline and slight cheekbones to a puffy round face. I hate looking at myself.

The biggest irony is my sense of style, skincare and haircare has significantly bumped up since then… but so has my weight. If I applied what I’ve improved now to what I used to look like I could’ve been unstoppable.

It sucks realizing you wasted your potential. I’m 25 which some people consider young still but I really wasted the first half of my twenties not taking care of myself.

I went to my cousin's wedding two days ago and had someone nearly pulling a Ted Bundy on me. It was a small wedding with at max 30 guests including families and friends, but there was also this 70 year old real estate agent that apart from working with my aunt on selling a house nearly a decade ago, nobody knew.

Nobody invited him, he caught wind of my cousin having her wedding and insisted that he come and take photos for her. My cousin actually got into a huge fight with my aunt (her mom) because she hated that dude (later I found out why), but her mom said she was too polite to reject his coming to the wedding. I myself suspect she just wanted those free photos.

I personally am not that close with my cousin so I knew virtually no one at the event, and thought that real estate agent was a very close family friend. As soon as the vows were exchanged and we entered into a kind of a recess he began striking a conversation with me, my aunt, and my grandma. It was normal and polite, just small talks, and everything was alright. But then my aunt left to help my cousin change, and my grandma decided to take a nap and all hell broke loose.

I went on a walk around the dining area (it's an out-the-door wedding at a golf club) and he found me there. It was just the two of us, and he started talking about how he's actually also a part-time great photographer and invited to take photos of me to show off his skills. I was like okay, not thinking too much because it was only one or two photos, but he just kept going! At my cousin's wedding telling me to go here or go there, do this or do that, taking about dozens photos of ME, at my cousin's wedding! I was already feeling very uncomfortable and impolite so I decided to stop. (Later I found out he actually took another dozens of photos of me behind my back without me knowing.)

I am a really gullible person so at that time I was still thinking that he might just be someone really passionate about taking photos and being really old—not really equipped with all the social etiquettes. But then he started saying to me privately how ugly my cousin looks: how her skin's terrible, how her makeup's too heavy and how she has an awful personality. I was like, what??? Because anyone would tell you my cousin is an instagram celebrity level 10/10, she's without a doubt pretty. (And even if she's not, why would you ever say that to anyone??) In contrast, he then said I was so pretty, have great skin, great posture, great skintone, just great everything, and that I could even enter beauty pageants and win (which is an obvious lie but he made it sound genuine).

He then offered me to go on a private photo trip with him, somewhere in the Canadian mountains, ALONE, this Friday. Saying very explicitly for me to not bring my aunt and grandma because "they are too slow." Alarm bells rang so much in my head at that moment, the face of one million serial killers flashing by. This was not him being polite, btw. He offered this to me five or six times throughout the wedding but never once mentioned it to anyone else. It was like he was deliberately not wanting others to know. In hindsight, I think he's probably planning to rape me in the mountains.

But this doesn't end there. I didn't tell anyone directly at the wedding because 1. My parents weren't there, and 2. My aunt and grandma would overreact and ruin my cousin's wedding. So I decided to wait until we all get back. At the dinner he was getting very touchy, putting his hand on my thigh when I was getting jittery, putting his arm around my waist when we were taking group photos, and everything just seem so gross to me even after two days. Like thinking about these and how I was used make me want to puke so bad.

He also asked me repeatedly to add his contact, which I didn't at the wedding. I said I had no signal there and will add him once I get back to avoid drama. (Probably should've just rejected him but I didn't want to cause trouble at someone else's wedding.)

I confided in my friends and parents that night after the wedding and they all agreed that he's not someone who's just impolite but someone who's a creep and had absolute awful intents. The following morning I talked to my aunt and grandma, and my aunt showed her their conversation after the wedding. He had sent her every photo he took, except those containing me! And then he asked my aunt to "notify her niece to add his contact." Yes he actually used the word notify. He was definitely using those photos, both taken with consent and without, to bait me. She also told me that a few years ago he tried to hit on my cousin with literally the same things he said to me, but failed obviously. (I don't understand why she still allowed him to come to the wedding afterwards, I'm also kind of upset over this.)

I really want him to delete those photos and expose him to everyone around, but right now it seems like there's nothing I can do. My family has collectively blocked him. But apart from that, I don't see how there's anything I can do. I learned that he was talking unprompted photos of me because he showed me one of them, and many times I caught his camera pointing at me so he must've took close to a hundred in total. I am feeling so angry and gross right now and just want to rant. He was definitely planning to do something to me in the mountains, I hope he rots in hell.

It is 9th day of my period. Last week on monday, it started with brown discharge, was not even sure if it was period. During the week, went a low-mid bleeding, heavily with brown color. Then few days ago It started to bleed again, this time with red color, but stopped so yesterday I got rid of my pad. Only to realize I have bled through my thong lmao. I got the pad again and went through with my day, but bleeding is coming very random, just checked it again and im bleeding again, my pad has stains. Im not on birth control and my doctor keeps telling me it is “normal” to have irregular periods. I just want to cry in middle of airport. I cant explain how mad I am and how much I want to cry. Why no one gives a shit about health of women. I even called the clinic 2 weeks ago and asked for my test results, they told me it was sent by post but guess what? Now i am going to vacation and I am bleeding in middle of this. I did not even get the results. I HATE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND EVERY DOCTOR WHO THINKS THIS IS NORMAL.

Seriously, wtf even is this?? Get cleaned up only to step out of the shower to immediately have to take a sh*t. GTFO
