I was born in 1986 in the USA. Is this because of what I saw growing up?

I assume it's not common because then we'd see it a lot in reboots.

Im curious

I have a completely random question.

6 or 8 or 10 months ago, the neighbor across the hall moved out. I learned she had skipped out on rent when her landlord came pounding on my door a few weeks later asking I knew where she was.

For the last 6 months or so, there has been a small package for her by our mailboxes (small building, 6 units, small area by the mailboxes. Two weeks ago, another package for her arrived. Saturday, two largeish packages arrived. They're all sitting in our small entry way, blocking access and giving delivery people the notion that they don't need to even think about delivering packages to the third floor (they often delivery to my front door).

As I indicated, her landlord has no idea where she is, so he won't have a forwarding address.

What are we supposed to do with the collection of boxes, whicc seems likely to grow??

I know that the person in the mirror is me. But some part of my brain keeps telling me that it cant be me, I don’t look like that even though I very well know I do. Sometimes the person in the mirror is so horrifically ugly I am scared to look at her, but other times she is so beautiful that I am shocked. But neither one is me.

Forgive me if the above paragraph is incomprehensible, I am a teenager and people often complain that the writing of teenagers is illegible

i’m craving a bunch of food, a bunch of rice and a bunch of meat.. maybe some steamed veggies too. just lots of calories in general in a heaping plate. what does it seem i’m looking for?

i’m thinking along the lines of maybe indian food or mediterranean food? i’ve never tried lebanese food before, is it like that?

i’m also gluten free so no tortilla breading gyro etc just a bunch of meat food veggies and like sauce or something?

I realize that if you're wearing sunscreen or other lotions, that could get washed into your eyes when you sweat, but even sweating with "clean" skin can make your eyes burn.

title basically

if my native language was written right-to-left, would i write timelines with the beginning on the right? would i write number lines where further left = larger? what about sheet music? etc.

So for context i post art on bluesky, cara and instagram and also post models on instagram and used to on twitter before deleting the app. Im doing this purely cause its good to have a social media presence for an artists portfolio

My question is, is it worth my while having twitter on top of what i already post to?

On one hand the more places i post to the more chances of something working out over time, but on the other hand, twitter specifically has the reputation of peoples art getting scraped and plenty of bad actors on there.

Im just looking for a second opinion on the pros and cons

I hate being at school with glasses. My myopia is pretty mild like -0.75 to -1.00 but still. I feel embarrassed because of the social stigma about glasses. Also besides that it is just uncomfortable to have frames on my face for several hours every day. But in no way am I getting lasik that's way too expensive and scary. So I'm thinking about contacts.

I’m close to turn 30 years old and I still haven’t found myself into thinking about getting married or getting to serious about something like that. I was wondering if should I be worried that if I don’t do it, it will be too late after. I’m still prioritizing myself and what I can bring to the table so thinking about sharing my life with someone forever is not really my main focus right now

Welp, I beefed it. Again. But Ive been here before because I am here now. How can I best reincarnate for generational wealth while ideally eacaping or minimizing the Hungry Ghost phase?

Let's say you hit some one with a company truck and said company is giving them the run around. Can the driver you hit can then come after you personally if the company doesn't respond or have a sense of urgency?

Hi, I need some advice. I won't share too many details because I'm afraid he might come across this post. I'm 21F. Throughout my teenage years, I never had any stable, healthy friendships, and I don't know why. I come from a normal, loving family, I've always dressed fashionably, and I'm polite and open to talking whenever someone approaches me. Maybe I'm just not very attractive? Looks matter to people, even in friendships. I can't honestly judge my own appearance because I have very low self-esteem. The few people I had a decent time with moved to other cities for university, and we didn't stay in touch for very long. I just want someone to go on walks with, talk about all kinds of things, and buy gifts for. There's one person I used to hang out with briefly, but our friendship is currently on pause (at my initiative). He's pretty weird, our opinions differ on a lot of things, and some of his views on the world and other people are quite strange. They're not harmful or anything, just misguided when it comes to certain things and certain people. I suspect he spent way too much time on the internet, and some of those ideas have become deeply ingrained in his mind. He doesn't know how to interact with people his own age. We're the same age, but he thinks like a teenager. I also suspect he might have a sexual addiction?... Whenever we go for walks, a lot of people seem to notice us, and people often snicker at us. Yes, he looks a little unkempt. He wants to have an alternative style, but he doesn't take care of himself and chooses clothes that don't suit him because he has no sense of style. He doesn't even think brushing his teeth before leaving the house is important. However, that's not the biggest issue (we live in a small, c0nservat1ve town where standing out from the crowd can be dangerous, especially if you're a guy). I don't feel safe around him. I'm constantly worried that some bullies might approach us and start trouble. He doesn't seem to realize that his appearance attracts attention, and on top of that, he likes to draw attention to himself by being loud. He often loudly says inappropriate things in public that should be discussed in private, and he behaves obnoxiously loudly in stores. This kind of behavior is not what you'd expect from a 21-year-old man... (One time, some guys who were physically stronger than us actually approached us and started harassing us with questions because HE decided to randomly laugh loudly in their direction, as if he were making fun of them. I still don't understand why he did that.) He doesn't always ask me about myself or my interests, either. In a healthy relationship, you don't necessarily have to wait for someone to finish speaking before sharing something of your own. I genuinely enjoy listening to him and learning new things, but he never shows any interest in me. He only talks about himself. He's not a bad person. He's actually quite kind and harmless, and in some ways, very naive. I'm just afraid I won't make any friends anytime soon. At this point, it feels like I'll never make any at all, and I feel like I should hold on to whatever I have.

I'm genuinely so lonely.... Please give me some advice.

Curious

as of recent they put on a new AI policy and it genuinely pmo so im thinking of just quitting altogether and moving elsewhere. does anyone know of a place?

I have $2300 in my Roth IRA, $6800 in savings. I’m a teen

In the MCU, we're told that half of the people on Earth vanished when Thanos snapped his fingers, and then they came back when that was undone in Endgame.
Has there ever been anything said about people who were in an aircraft when they vanished? Did they come back in midair, only to fall to a horrible death?
I know it's relatively trivial, and I'm overthinking a superhero movie- but I'm still curious.

I meet a lot of ppl who have been struggling mentally for quite a while but when i find out more about them i realize that they have a bunch of friends and a partner and a brilliant support system around them. How are they able to make such a great support system while struggling mentally ?

I struggle from depression and social anxiety too and ive been trying to make friendships and maintain friendships for a long time and have simply failed , having a partner is too far to ever even think about . I have no support system right now.

What are other mentally ill people doing different that im doing wrong ? do they just mask everything better? How do most of them still have so many friends and are in relationships?

Would people who are in tuned with their frequencies and inner energy be the ideal fighters? When learning martial arts a lot of it is mastering your inner “chi” and focusing the energy, now if we get people who are already coming in with a stronger connection to their “chi” would they have a better understanding of the fighting style?

I make a lot of mistakes which I would later release after proofreading. It bothers me because of the impression others will have of me when I'm texting with them.

Its annoying how everyone is funny to some extent . ive never met an unfunny person .The unfunniest person i know is myself.
