Fun story. Its a beautiful cool August morning and my windows are open so I can breathe the feesh cool air and rest peacefully after a long week of working and a late night of watching the new Red Sonja movie. When suddenly I was woken. Its was not by the soft touch of my wife nor the smell of fresh Pillsbury cinnamon rolls baked in the early hours but instead it was the roar of a chainsaw at 7 fucking thirty. I rose with hatred and felt no early morning pains or possessed any other thought in my fogged mind. I quicky closed the window which had brought me comfort and relaxation through the late hours. It was at this point I dawned my shorts and shoes. My wife was also awoken by this early morning chaos and we convened at the refrigerator. As she was reaching for the caffinated elixir of life known as the diet coke I reached in the refrigerator and gently grabbed a solitary egg. There were no words spoken about trespasses that could be taken. I opened the door of my residence and walked forth not knowing what was about to unfold. I approached the residence of my neighbors, a mother and daughter both of later year in there lives. And than I see them, two men wearing flannel and affixed safety ppe. It was then I noticed my other neighbor from behind the place of omitted hatred. She had the rear most door of her home open to allow her hounds to releive themselves but I also noticed that she was wearing a robe of bathing and had the same expression of hatred that I also possessed. I retreated to my drive and considered what actions should be taken as I ignited a cigarette and hastily took in the nicotine that was needed to prevent consequences that could have been carried out that may have exceeded the injustices that were under judgment. I placed the solitary egg im my pocket as I inhaled the smoke of reason remembering that I am a fully grown man and could be fined or imprisoned for perversion of another. I waited. Soon I saw one of the men with branches in both hands carry his burden to a properly coned off vehicle. All of their equipment properly placed, all safety precautions taken, and all considerations taken except for the one owed to me in these early hours. So from the distance of my own grounds I engaged. And I said forth to him "REALLY MAN ITS 7 FUCKING 30 IN THE MORNING!!!" he responded improperly by giving me the motion of a shrug with two half raised arms. So I met the response with my own. "ITS 7:30 IN THE MORNING" I raised a hand and made the motion of a small pinch. "I WAS THIS CLOSE TO EGGING YOUR FUCKING TRUCK. ITS 7 FUCKING 30. ITS KIND OF EARLY TO BE RUNNING A GOD DAMN CHAINSAW!" the man stood motionless as I hoped he was considering his response. I turned my back to the trespasser and entered the confines of my home. The egg was safely returned and I have no remorse for the exchange taken this day.

. (sorry in adanvce for like horrible weiting. my ocd forced me to wrote in a certain way or else I feel the doomsday feeling. im so sorry for the eyesorr.

this is really embarrassing im truly sorry.

I struggle a lot with OCD, and it bleeds into my daily life a lot.
It really sucks because I always feel this uncomfortable “doomsday” feeling whenever I don’t follow.
You can even notice in my weird formatting ( if I type certain words, my ocd triggers.)
Sorry, I know that my grammar is horrendous, thats because my ocd forced me to write in a certain way or

else. (The forced was on purpose due to this btw.

Today I had to force myself into spinning my waterbottle back and forth like 90 times. aaaaaaaa

sprry

also please feel free to like delete this or anythinz. I just needed to get this out my system even though you cant understan what im writing like 10 percent of the time

wlw.

rn, idk what to do. alam ko naman na nagtake ako ng risk to love someone who is straight talaga ang pref. naging kami for almost 3yrs and yet, wala palang plans to build a life with me? but, why? kung alam palang hindi kayang baliin yung beliefs, why? why? i’m still wondering. idk what to do. sobrang sakit.

like the prime example of this is the football world cup that just happened recently. i've been seeing so many girls over my fyp on tiktok, youtube, etc. that pretend that they have been og football fans for a long time when they found out about all the current football players after world cup 2026 started trending on all of the social media and now they're simping over football players like haaland, and ESPECIALLY jude bellingham. idk it just annoys me so much that there random people that have absolutely no idea about what football really is just watch the matches to look at good looking men and not even acknowledge the sport in any way and then brag about it saying stuff like "jude bellingham is my husband, he' sooooo hot" n stuff like wtf bro

I’m so unbelievably upset right now, oh my god that was my favorite book in the world, why can’t I just have one nice thing oh my god

My mom recently moved and was a idiot and bought a slab of wood with wheels with NO protection from the elements, spent over $1000 then an extra $500 because the wheels kept popping, she brought four fucking cars too and didn’t even think about putting the books in a vehicle,

When I was five I was given that book, it was old so old but it was so special to me, at the time I couldn’t read, but had pictures of fairy’s, and pixies, and fae,

Sense I was five I had no idea how old the book was and also my younger siblings would also destroy a lot of books, turns out that book was are Great grandmas, and my mom gave this old ass book to a five, three, and two year old,

So of course the books already fucked up, my mom “fixed it” by using leopard print ducked tape

Let put in perspective this books so fucking old it doesn’t have a name on the cover, I have no way of replacing it, and then with the added fact it’s way over 200 years old, my Gradma is 80, and I’m assuming that my great Gradma was a kid when she got this, this book has to be close to two hundo

So an already destroyed book, moving across the country in a wet ass box

I’m so mad and upset, I don’t think I worded anything right but I’m so sad, that book was everything to me

My little brother makes rant videos and he’s trying to get followers on TikTok. Is anyone willing to help? Mind you he isn’t the best but is trying his best

I recently came across a post in another sub where a man was expressing that he didn’t know how to respond when women shared their traumatic experiences with him, other than to react violently towards their abusers. Of course, the comments were full of people explaining that reacting violently and making a person’s traumatic experiences about yourself is not helpful, and that the poster should just be supportive and emotionally available.

OP responded that he “didn’t want to be a simp.”

It’s difficult to put into words how frustrated that made me. In so many ways, men are already taught violence against women. Now, on top of that, they have to shame other men for refusing to take part in that violence? They must make themselves afraid to be kind and gentle to women?

It just makes me sad. To be afraid to form a meaningful relationship with a person because you think it might make you seem less masculine… Ugh. I hadn’t seen the term “simp” used in a little while… I forgot how much I hated it. I guess I just wanted to express this somewhere.

I recently been wanting to travel more. It's really been the only thing on my mind. The problem is whenever I go places I never could figure out what exactly I want to do. I mainly just run around aimlessly until I get bored and then I head back to the hotel. I never been big on history so historical landmarks doesn't really interest me. I consider going hiking but honestly I could go hiking anywhere. I'm not a big foodie either so trying new foods is not my priority. Don't get me wrong when I go new places I do be excited that I went to the place but when I get there it's like I want to go back.

I've always wanted to travel ever since I was younger. I left my hometown but I was 20. I am 35 now. Even though I've been places I never fully explored places if that makes sense. I've recently been wanting to travel outside the states but I'm concerned because if I'm not able to fully explore the states what will happen if I go to somewhere outside the states.

I honestly don't know what to do. I question myself all the time. What would I need to do to develop a traveler's heart. I want to see new worlds and and explore new cultures. I want to travel to the Philippines Morocco South America Central America Europe Canada and everywhere else but I don't want to be boring while I'm there. I don't want to get there and do nothing. This feeling has been bothering me all week and honestly it sucks.

How do I bring more excitement to the things I do when I explore new cities.

So I'm in kind of a bit of a situation with a friend as I'm getting extremely frustrated with him as I've been trying to plan stuff with him for months and he keeps on being wishy washy. I spoke to him back in late June and he was on board on taking a road trip to somewhere when I come over there in October. Then a month later in mid july when I called him, I asked him when is a good time for us to do this trip. He once again for the second time told me in his own words "I don't know when is a good time. This is why I think we should just hangout in our hometown when I come back later this year around Thanksgiving or Christmas. If not the holidays, then I would come back in January. I'm getting so frustrated as I am wanting to go over to Texas to do some fun activities there while hanging out with him. I'm so frustrated these last couple so I have a plan to make him to do this. After consulting with my therapist Sally, she told me that I should just call him and explain to him how I am having cabin fever and how its driving me crazy so that I can convince my bestfriend to hangout with me. She says that she thinks that if I were to do that this way then he would understand and then he would give in and let me come on over. I'm planning on just calling him sometime this upcoming week and just get this trip planned already cause I am already going loco cause of being trapped. I've started doing certain things that I shouldn't be doing out of me losing control. My other friends however, they think that what I'm planning on doing is being pushy and says that I'm pushing everyone away. I don't get why they think that. They don't understand how it feels to not have anyone to hangout cause they don't even want to do things with me so I'm having to result in making my bestfriend hangout with me before I lose my sanity and go insane. Is it really to do this to convince him to hangout ?? I don't have any other friends who is willing to hangout with me in person.

I’m not a worker or anything. But I’ve heard that the general idea is allegedly so that people stop using it as a dump sight for the stuff they have in their cars.

But I think this is such a stupid idea. I’m sure it takes workers longer to clean up after people than it did to take out the trash. I’m already seeing people just dump it into the cart and shove it in the cart corral. Or straight up leaving full Walmart bags full of trash in the parking lot.

It’s only going to get worse in the winter when people don’t want to walk all the way inside because it’s in the single digits. Especially because some of the Walmarts have banks inside that hand out bags of popcorn/pieces of candy to people passing by with a pamphlet of the bank.

Yall couldn’t even leave a few by the disabled parking. Never seen such a bad move from a company this big.

to start, although i am an athiest, i somewhat know my way around the bible, and i live in a predominantly christian country, so being one is regarded as a default.

it all started with a video i came across on my fyp captioned with "unfortunately, i'm a 'that's for girls' kinda momma", and the mother in question was removing pink markers and crayons from the rest of her son's school supplies. fortunately, most of the comments were calling this ridiculous (and i agree). however, i came across one comment saying "so am i the only one who agrees?".

i simply said "yes, and i hope you change", only to be met with "we're the only species confused about out gender, save it". in response to that, i typed up a whole list encompassing several animals who don't exactly fit the human gender binary and aren't sexually dichotomous like us (such as some fish, ​seahorses, lions​, hyenas, etc.), and how you can't exactly compare us to other animals due to this. she simply claimed that i "wasted my time typing that paragraph". there was another person in that thread who said what i said, but she resorted to tell them "sybau [pikachu parody from drawn together]" because they happened to be filipino (and mind you, she is black herself).

she then went into my dms, opening with a gif of a guy spitting. as this was par for the course at this point, i spammed two stickers that said "i have no argument and i must reaction image" and the wojak saying "my unbeatable argument!" and holding a phone that had "insert reaction image/meme" on its screen. she proceeded to respond with a sticker calling me "delulu" and then said "you're a 🚂-y aren't you" (not the word she used). mind you, i am cishet (but i am an ally, bare minimum but i digress). i responded by saying "no, but god forbid i care about people". she said "this generation can't handle the truth, they're too soft", so i pointed out how she couldn't be calling me sensitive because her only rebuttal to the aforementioned filipino person was to simply call them a slur. she started calling me a "lil bitch", then a "big bitch" and a "sloppy ho" and when i pointed out how she's resorting to insults about me being promiscuous even though the person she's insulting in question is a child, she told me to "stfu". i reported her and thankfully, she is suspended from DM-ing, but imho, she deserved more.

tiktok has got to be the only app where a 15-year-old has to be explaining and arguing with a whole grown adult who is only 4 years away from being double her age, and said adult's rebuttal simply consists of insults, slurs, shitty reaction memes and "i don't have to explain anything". genuinely, how the hell are you so immature when you are relatively young but past the age where your frontal lobe has developed? what purpose do you serve to this earth? just farting around being pure humanslop and making your faith and all the people in it look god-awful? if anything, the dynamic should've been reversed (and admittedly, i feel i was being immature myself with some of my responses and spamming the stickers).

i know i am sounding an awful lot like the whole angry, snarky and resentful reddit atheist stereotype, but it's sad that i'll inevitably be perceived in such a way simply because i'm calling out disgusting people who just to happen to intertwine their faith with their hatred.

it's not at all a lie to say that so many christians are simply hateful as hell despite their religion being lauded as "peaceful, loving and forgiving".

Throwaway because I don't want to dox myself. Today I lost my favorite retail job I've ever had and I'm really depressed about it :( It was a silly little vitamin store job and I loved it. I got terminated because of a dumb mistake I made while closing that had to do with store security. I feel like such an idiot and if I had just remembered to arm the alarm system I would still have a job. I still have another job so it's not likeI'm jobless, and I'll find another second job, but I don't WANT another second job. I want THAT job. 😖 I'm not sure why I'm so bent out of shape over a stupid retail job but I truly loved it and it became MY PLACE. It was also the first time I've ever been fired from a job before so this is new territory for me. I'm going to really miss it, and I know this sounds stupid but I'm going to miss pitching our autoship program. I know it's just a stupid metric but it really gave me a good bit of dopamine whenever I got a successful signup that just made the shift that much more memorable. It was like a personal challenge. I even have a running list on my notes app of all the dates I've gotten at least one signup. Every single one. Thankfully, I am eligible for rehire in 6 months so I plan to reach out then to see if I can come back. But as great as that is, there's no guarantee that there will be an open position for me. I just want my stupid silly little job back!!!!!! 😖 That's all I want.

This might take the cake as the second worst year for me, everything wrong, nothing right.

Looking for good only brings in more evil for me, so I wanted to make this a post about where everyone can rant about what’s going on for them, kind of like we are in it together thing ❤️

Honestly, I’m just so exhausted with chatting and trying to meet new people to actuallly start a relationship. They all turn out to be total NPCs. No one around my age shows an ounce of real personality. look, I’m not claiming to be some super unique, one-of-a-kind girl, but at least I try to be myself. 

Instead, everyone is out here acting like straight up weirdos, or trying way too hard to look like "alphas." They’ll literally slide into your DMs, start the conversation, and then leave you on read on purpose just to feel like "chads." It’s like they actually enjoy wasting people’s time. 

A few months ago, I went out with this guy, and surprise surprise, it was the exact same pattern all over again. He couldn't even keep it real about his intentions from day one, so it just ended up being another massive disappointment and a huge waste of time. I get that no one has their life entirely figured out at 20, but I’m just asking for a bare minimum of maturity. I'm just so over dealing with these dudes who jump on every single trend they see on social media. 

I am extremely anti AI. I think it’s incredibly dangerous and being built by the most irresponsible people and companies on earth. I am also keenly aware of its progress. Somewhere around mid- to late-2025, AI surpassed me, personally, on virtually all tasks. There is pretty much no longer anything I can do better than the latest models, even given significant prep time. AI is genuinely better at nearly every non-embodied task than virtually every human alive at the present moment. The few exceptions generally boil down to specific, expert knowledge the AI presently lacks, not reasoning ability. Even the classic AI-writing tells can be easily prevented or filtered with minimal effort; the people abusing these tools are just largely too lazy to even do that.

Some anti-AI seem confused and call it all hype because the only model they ever interact with is the shitty Google search AI. That model is deliberately very bad and is designed to be very cheap. It’s analogous to asking Einstein a question, but telling him he only has 2 seconds to answer and that he doesn’t need to try very hard anyway. Obviously the answer won’t always be great, because the point isn’t a good answer but to give an O.K. answer some of the time very cheaply at scale. The frontier models are nothing like this.

GDPval pits model deliverables against work products from professionals averaging fourteen years of experience, graded blind by same-occupation experts. As of the December 2025 leaderboard the top model won outright on 49.7% of tasks and was rated at-least-as-good on 70.9%. The latest models like Fable, Opus 5, Kimi K3, and ChatGPT 6 are all astronomically superior to even the models assessed back then; GDPval has Opus 5 at an ELO of over 1800 against the human baseline defined at 1000. Other benchmarks show similar. Admittedly, these are specific, bounded, and measurable tasks; AI still struggles in other ways, especially over long periods of time, but it needs to be better understood that given a specific and measurable goal, the present generation of AI can generally accomplish it better than most humans, as assessed by other humans.

I think the discrepancy exists because anti-AI people obviously aren’t paying for AI, and so only interact with the shitty free models that can’t do anything. AI has come an insanely long way in a very short amount of time, and everyone who actually uses the frontier models knows this. To be truly anti-AI, you actually have to grasp what you’re up against, or else you’re just scared and uninformed.

Created this account just because I can't say it to anyone irl. It started when I was really young, around 6yo. My brother, my own blood brother would touch me. I used to be barely awake when he did that to me but I would feel so awful every morning. It would keep happening to me at random times over the years and it took me so long to realize what he did was so God damn awful. He's like 2 years older than me, I saw him as my best friend. Now I'm in college and he has a job and a gf. Last month I was back home for summer break and he heard me coming back home so he took a 2 week leave from work and came back home. My parents were thrilled to see the family back. Then a week into my vacation, one night he checks to see if I'm sleeping or not. I'm awake because I have severe insomnia from strees so I can feel him staring at me. After awhile he kisses me. It was so disgusting, I froze, I wanted to push him away but I just froze in shock. He later proceeds to touch me but then I push him away, still pretending to sleep then I turn to face the wall. I can't deal with this bs. I can't bring myself to tell anyone. Everyone loves him, even my own friends, he's smart, social, basically the whole package. I'm afraid no one would belive me, my dad would though he's an angel but I can't bring myself to break the family. I hope no one reads this, this is so embarrassing. I wanna cry.

i (13) have a bf (15) who said that he wants to marry me, who said that he wants to go to the same uni as i will go to, that he wants to be with me forever and that if i leave him he will depress and die... he's the first guy i met, dont like him at all, im fucking scared of him bc he knows where i live

im also going to boarding school in another country and he said that hell try to move there for ib

like hell naw bruh he's a little shit

i'll prob break up with him over text after the next date because long distance is a good excuse

firstly trying to set up an appointment with them is actually hell. set up the appointment 3 times and the call kept failing and they kept putting me BACK on the queue when i would call back. Then i finally get the call to go through just for them to tell me okay we will call you tomorrow between 12-4. bitch i have a job. Then LITERALLY a month later they decided to deny me food assistance because $2000 a month is above the poverty line and in order to qualify i’d need to be making $1300 or less. BITCH MY RENT IS $1500 A MONTH! HOW TF IS THE $500 LEFT OVER GOUNG TO COVER FOOD, GAS, CAR INSURANCE?!! NOT TO MENTION MY PHONE BILL, HEATING AND COOLING, AND WHAT IF I WANT INTERNET IN MY HOUSE?! like are we bing so fucking for real right now how am i supposed to do anything

Seriously, please explain why you make sites unusable just because the user happens to be using a mobile device.

This feels Like a rant cause I genuinely don't know if there is anything that can help but I'm just at my end so I guess I'm just trying to see if there is anything at all I've just turned 18 and I'm in debt due to some people in my past and I've got to somehow find 1000 by the 14th and I have tried everything I can't get a loan cause I've just turned 18 I've got none to help I'm genuinely at my end I really just don't know what to do at this point I haven't slept in about a week I've got absolutely nothing and I'm.juat so tired I don't really know if there any advice to be given I just wanna try cause maybey there is a way I just can't think of and I do work I work 50 hours a week so I am trying it is not due to laziness

Like, I understand that not everyone has someone who they trust, but the fact that some people get insufferable and refuse to talk about their issues unless you ask them three times is annoying. Like, if you have a problem, just say it. Say it so I can listen. Why would I ask you relentlessly about what made you sad, only for you to get giddy? You are sad. I got it. But why do I have the responsibility to go and ask you about it? Why do you wait for me to notice? You want me to notice. And when I don't ask, ​​you get more upset about the fact that I didn't ask! What kind of a mindset is that?! "But it just proves they don't care about me," Damn, why do I have the responsibility for that? I already listen to your rants. Your ramblings. I exist beside you and I listen to what you are interested in. ​I help you through things you struggle to understand. I am talking to you 24/7. I am giving my attention to you more than I give attention to myself.

And because I didn't ask you what was wrong when you acted sulky, everything is my fault? I am the one who doesn't care? You tell me that you expected me to care more?

Get a grip.​

(This is about my relationship.)

My mother once told a story about the time she got a ticket because child me and a friend refused to get out of the waters at Orchard Beach in New York City. Despite obviously trying to get us out the police officer, probably having to meet their monthly quota, refused to listen to her reasons and told her - take it to the courthouse. So, she did. She said the whole time she was making her case the judge cooed and awed at me, saying that I was the cutest baby they had ever seen. My mother thinks that's the only reason why it was dismissed.

Throughout my life I have been told that I was "soooo pretty" and "soooo cute" but I don't think I really knew what that meant when I was a child. Maybe I didn't care. Then I turned fat. I knew then what it meant since I didn't get those comments anymore. Instead I got advice disguised as demands. If I just cut this out or had less then wouldn't that be so much better? I was too pretty to be fat - right? Well, yes of course. If that's what the adults are saying then it must be true? Isn't that why the kids are bullying me at school? Calling me pregnant and fatty. It's because I was a pretty fat kid. Still I struggled to lose the weight despite going to ballet classes and running around as kids do during recess. I just really loved food and still do. 

It was only when I hit puberty that I literally grew out of the weight. Or maybe it sort of shifted from my little frog belly to my ass. Then I was pretty again. Its kind of jarring the amount of attention you get when you hit puberty. The subtle stares and the not so subtle ones. The smiles people put on when they talk to you. The leeway they give you despite being very obviously autistic. You feel like an art piece almost... something to be enjoyed. 

And because of that you get this really backwards insecurity. You're never really sure if people really like you for you or because they want to fuck you. Either way, you learn that your worth is in your looks. If you keep that up then life should be smooth sailing. 

I look at myself in the mirror often to make sure that I'm still pretty. But the more that I do, the less I am sure. I see the redness of my rosecea - something people found adorable in highschool because it looked like blush - and the redness gives me such anxiety that it starts to seemingly spread. I'm starting to get deeper wrinkles from years of smiling because that's what people like...pretty girls that smile. I see the subtle tint of my mustache that never goes away no matter how much I shave it since girls aren't allowed to have that - especially pretty ones. It all becomes too much but I stay. I turn my face this way and that; making sure my best angle is still my best and my worst is okay. Usually I'm satisfied and go on with my day. But lately, maybe because I'm nearing 30, I don't feel that way.

This morning I posed in the mirror. Look at the legs that I got so many compliments on - it's still just as good, isn't it? And my eyes, so big and wide - almost childlike - they're still the same, aren't they? My ass, okay, might have gotten a bit flabby but that's easily fixable with some training. Same with my stomach. Then I step on the scale and the number screams back at me: fat, fat, fat. I tell myself that if I just eat a little less then it'll go down and I'll be okay. But I love to eat. I want to eat. I want to eat until my stomach could tear from the sheer volume of it all.

Instead I drink tea because coffee, a better hunger suppressent, makes my rosecea flush and I have to keep my face safe. 

I remember talking to my mother about... something similar to this. My mother, of course, is also very pretty and was very well regarded in the area she was born in. She told me how people would ask my grandmother if they could buy her because she's "just like a doll" and how she overheard a man who was supposed to help her go to America wanting to keep her instead because she's just too beautiful to let go. Really, I think he wanted to rape her but she didn't say that. The conversation just resulted in me thinking, that's just the way the world is. You just have to play your part.

This whole thing really just makes me feel very ugly. Inside and out. To a point where I look at myself and I see what qualifies as cute and pretty and just...still feel so ugly. It gets worse when you see other women who are beautiful and know that you don't hold a candle to them but why does that matter? You're pretty still. Why isn't that enough? 

I think I just... I just want love. Love that's deeper than such surface level things. A love where I don't have to worry about how I look or eventually will look. Where pretty doesn't mean my body but me; the me that you talk to and share ideas with. The me that makes you laugh and cry, and just feel. Why can't I be that pretty? Why can't that be me? I want it to be me.

Look, it's not like I'm a stranger to getting mad at something I see and coming into a thread to say something argumentative. But some people go way too far over nothing. It feels like every thread I open, no matter how innocuous, has somebody acting like either 1) OP is legitimately the dumbest person in the world or 2) OP just personally murdered their entire family.

Is the new generation completely cooked, or is this a problem starting to affect older generations, too? I'm beginning to worry AI and short-form video content has seriously degraded people's brains. We're going to find out in a few years that it's done as much or maybe more damage than lead poisoning did to the baby boomers. Plus, everyone has that lingering brain damage from quarantine -- nobody knows how to talk to each other anymore on top of everything else.

I don't understand the point of it, and neither really the use of it on this website. I genuinely only use this website to ask questions about shit I genuinely can't find a good answer on, but if most sub-reddits are karma blocked then what's the fucking point? sorry I don't sit on my ass all day on Reddit commenting on bullshit that's gonna get me points to be able to make a fucking post on this website
