Over the course of human history we've found ways to make life easier, yet it seems like for the past 50 years, the cost of living has gone up and up. Is there even any hope that eventually we can turn things around? I'm not looking for a pessimistic or optimistic answer, just the straight truth
Before anyone says it, I am not adopted lmao. But genuine question, how can that occur? What is the likelihood for that to happen?
I was chatting to some people who seemed to be baffled that their attractive friend was dating an "ugly" girl. It really blew my mind that they couldn't seem to understand that not everyone cares about appearance that much, and that there's a lot more to a woman than her appearance. They ALL said things like "attraction is what gets you in the door, not personality" and to me that seemed...kinda crazy? Especially for a group of men in their 20s and 30s.
I'm not asexual or demisexual or anything like that, but what usually gets me is people's vibe first, not just how their face is arranged, but their whole vibe, including their personality. Someone might have a funky nose but if they feel and seem like a nice, good person, I'll probably like their nose. Some people are physically ugly but their vibe is good and that usually automatically adds 2-3 points to their appearance to me. Is it really that hard for people to grasp this concept? Even if it is, isn't it just plain rude and awful to talk so badly about a friend's partner???
I love orange marmalade on toast with butter. My girl friend just tried it and hated it. Who else likes?
A while back i reconnected with this bitch , we ended up talking again because he had weed to sell and we knew eachother waaaaay back. He scammed me after giving him so many rides home (i live 38km away , i already had to spend money on gas just to get there and the budget was limited and he knew that) , i offered him packs of cigs when he said he didnt have any , i bought him cans of soda whenever we smoked together because i know how dry that makes your mouth , i gave him some of mine when he didn't have any weed , advice , fucking money even when i got low balled i was stupid enough to believe him that his dealer was to blame for not weighing it properly and he after getting him home one night i gave him the money for the stuff like i usually did , he got out of the car and one minute after he told me in a text "sorry for making your day worse thatn it already is but i scammed you :)" he told me to come next week and that he would give me twice the ammount (ofc i didnt fucking buy that) , today i was getting food with some friends and i just randomly saw him , i came uo behind him grabed him by the nape and told him to give me my money , he said he is broke and then i saw how panicked he was , his eyes were darting all over the fucking place and he was as red as a tomato , got all tense but didn't move a muscle , i pushed him towards the direction he was facing while calling him something i can't properly translate into english , i let him go , after all the fucking anger i had that day i just let him go because i pitied him , i feel like a fucking pussy and a dumbass. I know it's really subjective but it's eating me alive right now , should i be more brutal? I've been dealing with this type of shit everywhere , people just take advantage of me because i'm to "soft" , every time it makes me more and more bitter , makes me lose trust in the people around me because i have principles that the rest i think should have. Do you think what i did should make me feel bad about myself? I need some guideance i want to enjoy who i am.
basically the title lol. I'm a 24yo brown guy living in Europe and every week, me and my friends go to the club to just enjoy and have some fun.
the problem is that everytime I go there, my friends get girls all the time and I'm just the guy who's basically dancing by himself or another guy who didn't get a girl too lol. don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with dancing with my mates but it gets really frustrating when that's your experience everytime you go to a club while your friends are consistently finding girls to dance with.
I'm an average looking guy who's like 5'9 and is fit and dress well (usually a black t-shirt with a denim jacket and denim pants and ofc good shoes). but man I must be doing something wrong coz nothing works for me.
my friends say just look at a girl and if she likes you, she'll look back and maybe give a sign like smile and then you can approach. but that somehow doesn't work for me. we have a guy in our group who doesn't have to do shit but girls will literally throw themselves at him. last week an older woman (must be in her 40s) came to my friend and said she thinks he's hot and he had to reject her.
I'm not looking for a relationship, just some fun and a nice evening for the weekend. usually I'm completely fine with just being with my boys but recently, I've started feeling jealous. jealous of my friends, of the other guys who can get the girls, etc.
I know it's not a healthy thing to do and I genuinely enjoy just going to the club to dance. but I guess I just need some help on how to navigate this thought process.
any help would be appreciated.
Curious what the COL is just in terms of food for those who may be 300+ lb themselves or have a 300+ lb person under their care.
i was hacked a few months ago on this account, I spent some time away from reddit, then came back and realized that.
whoever hacked into it posted on a bunch of communities, which got me banned from a bunch of them, and joined countless more, it takes me a full 30 seconds of scrolling for me to get to the bottom of the "your communities" tab, I can't even count them
I made another account, but it's just that I have really good karma on this one and my posts always have a lot of views and comments, in the other account, practically 0 since I made it a couple weeks ago.
so I wanted to know if there is any way to exit multiple of them at once because I tried to go exiting slowly but that'd take me hours, even days.
most of them are also 18+, which is why I'm so bothered by being in them since I can't scroll reddit anymore without seeing anything and everything of the human body.
and there's also the chance they joined some really weird and criminal subreddits, I can't know since there's just too many, that also worries me since I could get banned for that and I don't wanna lose this account
cannot think of one yet, i will tell you in the comments when i figure it out
Struggling to stop vaping, if i quit vaping i go back to snus and back and forth.
Any tips? or anyone going through the same thing?
I've been doing it all my life and I really don't know why.
When you find a new song it's amazing, but then after a while you get tired of it. what is happening in the brain?
I've been texting a girl for a week. We text every day - pretty much, all day. I'm the one who starts most of the conversations and the one who reaches out first. But it's not like she is completely cold. She replies in detail, jokes around, asks some questions about me too here and there. Still, what bothers me the most is that she never initiates the conversation. What do you think?
genuinely tho why?
I want to beat the score, how do i get to that.
I dropped my JBL speaker and now it makes this irritating loud bass sound, even on songs with little to no bass. I tried maybe shaking whatever dislodged back in place but nothing happened.
I'm 28 years old. My father went through a bad divorce last year and can't cope with it a year later. He has no friends nor family, just me and my brother. He can't be alone and when I'm out just for a little bit, he texts me and calls me to come back. He threatens to kill or hurt himself. I'm at the point where my metal health is suffering immensely bad because of this. I work around his open schedule to be with him but it's getting to a point where I'm not doing OK. I'll be at work and he will blow up my phone doing the same thing and it makes me feel horrific at work and I'm sure others can see it on my face
We called 911 on him two weeks ago because my brother and I couldn't take it anymore. He was in a ward for a week or so.
I'm an adult, but my dad manipulates me to stay with him at all times
Any advice is welcome
Hello, Does anyone know of a online store called Inzo Shop? They seem to have some really good deals. Maybe to good? Thank you
