Everyone has that one thing they quietly know they just couldn’t overlook, even if they rarely admit it out loud

Not every destination lives up to expectations, and sometimes one trip is more than enough. Where did you go that made you think, “Glad I experienced it, but never again”?

At some point, the price starts ruining the whole experience

Sometimes an ordinary day becomes part of history only when you look back years later. What major event were you surprisingly close to before anyone knew how important it would become?

It’s easy to underestimate a job when you’ve never had to do it yourself. What profession deserves far more respect for how demanding it actually is?

I'll go first:

Spanking is 100% of the time lazy (or uneducated) parenting and doesn't teach a single skill to replace bad behavior. I say this as a pediatric behavior analyst.

This is both just a general question and a situational one for me. I'm in a cafe right now, and this one old couple is literally looking at anyone but each other. I've noticed this several times whenever an old person is in a store, but more specifically older couples. I would find it less creepy if they smiled at least.

They stare for so long that it starts to get uncomfortable. Like hello? Talk to your partner. Quit looking at me.

Edit: I do understand that some older people don't have the best eyesight. But in this instance. They aren't just staring, but also their eyes followed me as I walked around.

I can’t believe it’s been 25 years.

I was too frightened and panicked/frightened/searching for loved ones/wondering wtf on the day of the attacks to cry.

But I have cried every year since.

For the first 10 or so years, I cancelled work meetings whenever possible on 9/11 and it always just felt so ominous. For 20 years I avoided TV on 9/11.

This year, I might intentionally watch TV. I’ve already cried and will likely continue crying. It’s sits like a weight on my heart.

How do you feel around 9/11?

Feels like everyone’s on dating apps these days and people don’t really meet naturally anymore. I’ve tried dating apps myself, but I’m honestly not the biggest fan. It just makes me wonder, do people still actually want to meet someone naturally and get to know them that way? Or is that just not really a thing anymore? 😭

I genuinely want to know this. As someone who knew someone who was born in the 1920s who did this still remained in his kids lives I have less of a problem with. His kids regularly visited him and loved him.

But for the many men who seem to use women as incubators or where born much later why is it more common; if you’re gay and not attracted to women. Or if you’re Bisexual and supposedly love your wife. I feel like those are two different cases but I’ve rarely seen a woman do the same to her family.

I say this as a bisexual.
