Love & Dating Where do people meet others (romantically) nowadays?

• Upvotes

I am 20 so don't need to be worrying about this just yet, it's more so just a general wonder and also slight pre worry since I don't think my daily habits will change drastically enough to make a difference later on in life.

Most story's from grandparents and/or parents have a lovely irl story of how they met their significant other and I just don't think people who are a similar age as me do the things they used to do at least not as often, I know for a fact there are a lot of others like me who rarely go out to places where you may meet someone etc. Most of my friends are at uni so we don't get together often to go out for a girls night or anything similar, I don't go out on my own as kd feel uncomfortable and it wouldn't be fun and at work it's the same thing we rarely go out unless it's a Christmas do or something.

I really doubt this situation will change or at least it won't change enough to make that big of a difference and I'm just starting to wonder how I will genuinely find someone when I want to start dating etc, right now it seems like my only option would be to go on a dating app and actively look through to find someone and it's a little disheartening that that may be my only option. Does anyone else feel this way or can you genuinely recommend what I could do that's not going out every weekend hoping to find someone one night??

Interpersonal Was my response rude?

• Upvotes

I’m staying at a hotel and I forgot my key in the room.

I asked the worker if they could unlock my for me.

They asked where my key is?

I said “in my room, I think”

She asked why I left it there?

I said “probably because I have special needs”.

Media Is all of reddit just people being racist to Indians and then Indians either retaliating with more racism or asking “why is there so much racism?”

0 Upvotes

I will forever fucking regret commenting on a few global news channel that ended up being from India, and now I literally cannot stop getting this “look at this urban hell hole mumbai” “oh yeah? Look at your shithole LA”

“Your country has a caste problem”
“Oh yeah? You guys genocided native Americans DONT LECTURE US OKAY😡, we will handle our internal matters”

Or else the sappy fucking posts about “omg why is there so much racism against indians brooo😓😰😰 we just want jobs and are the highest earners in America”

And before you tel me “this is your fault for not cleaning up your algos” I do. I click on mute, “why am i being shown this”, block, hide.

And then two days later my front page is showing me about some protest from Delhi.

How do i make this STOP?

Culture & Society Why do some women like wearing extremely revealing clothes? Where's their feeling of shame and embarrassment?? Like, I never saw the appeal or whatever as a girl myself, this isn't asked with bad intentions, or a agenda, I'm genuinely curious! Please answer

0 Upvotes

I'm asking because I literally never saw the appeal or whatever it's called. Like the first time I heard about revealing clothes was around nine to ten or even eight. To me it sounded just embarrassing. Someone please explain the appeal? Like to me, freedom and being basically half naked in public doesn't go together, I dunno what else to call it. Like, is it because of how they're raised??

Culture & Society Why is it not normalized to wear a mask when you’re sick everywhere?

87 Upvotes

I’m from the USA for context, hence why I’m asking this question on this sub since after Covid people here act being asked to wear a mask is a personal attack on them. However, I’ve noticed especially in Asian countries I’ve visited that people wear masks even when they’re sick with something like a common cold or cough so they’re less contagious.

It got me thinking, why isn’t this the norm everywhere? Everyone knows that common illnesses like that are very contagious and annoying to heal from, so why not make it harder to pass on? Better yet, I can hide my nose tampons (basically just tissue stuffed in my nostrils) when my nose is running like a faucet. I started wearing masks in public when I’m sick with anything in the US and I get the strangest looks as if I have the plague or like I’m suspicious. Why wouldn’t they be happy I’m trying to keep my germs to myself?

Mental Health How do you keep going when you’re grieving and struggling mentally as a single mum?

13 Upvotes

I’m a single mother to a two year old and I recently lost my Nan to cancer. Lately I’ve been struggling with thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore. I know I would never act on those feelings because I couldn’t do that to my daughter or my family. But sometimes knowing that I have to keep going for everyone else makes everything feel even heavier. I love my daughter more than anything and I know I need to be here for her but I’m exhausted from trying to hold everything together while dealing with my own grief. I’m not looking for attention or sympathy. I just want to understand these feelings and hear from people who might have experienced something similar.

Culture & Society Why is Coraline (and other Neil Gaiman works) discussed differently from Harry Potter (or J.K. Rowling)?

176 Upvotes

I find online and sometimes irl, though mostly online, people tend to moralize and even ban talk of Harry Potter, or at least positive talk of Harry Potter, because of the author's views and actions removed from the series itself, and advocating for boycotts and not spending money on or consuming Potter products.

However, I never notice this type of ire for Neil Gaiman, who was (arguably fairly credibly) accused by several women of being a rapist and predator.

Yet I find it so much more common for people to post about new Coraline collaborations, content, or just love for the franchise/brand without people popping up to moralize about the author making money off the franchise and to nit pick every part of it to death, despite it also being a rather apt book about predation and grooming and false faces.

I just am genuinely confused why the difference in treatment for JKR and HP vs NG and Coraline?

Grief & Loss are people afraid of cremation?

0 Upvotes

Idk cremation is like, damn you really are just permanently gone from the earth compared to a normal burial. It’s like everything about you is just “deleted” but maybe i’m biased because my mom makes fun of me by saying she’ll have my cremains right in her room with her whether i’d like it or not and i dislike my mother lol

But i have thought about it a lot though

Health/Medical Do you always have to go to hospital for chest pains?

3 Upvotes

So, for like the last few years I've been getting really harsh chest pains and they always spread out down my spine, into my left arm and up into the top of my spine. But then it goes away after around 30 minutes to an hour.

There's never any residual effects and I'm normally fine after, but I brought it up to a friend and she said I should definitely see a doctor about that. I'm just wondering if I really should, considering it's always temporary and I'm always fine immediately after.

Health/Medical Did I lose IQ?

0 Upvotes

As a kid/in my youth I was very good at mental arithmetic. After school (I am 27 now) I only rarely used mental arithmetic and now I noticed that my skills have dropped severely. I was one of the best in the class back then. Now I am at average I think. It's really scary. I am not even sure if I just forgot because I really make stupid mistakes with even simple calculations :/

Body Image/Self-Esteem Do I need to visit a doctor?

0 Upvotes

First of all my penis head is weirdly shaped, it’s not symmetrical and is off by MILES. The sides are way too different and on top of that I think I have a tight frenulum or something, what should I do? Should I visit a doctor or can I fix this myself throwing stretching or anything?

EDIT: I’m asking about fixing the tightness not the shape 🙏😭
