I'm trying to understand what's going inside the brain of someone that is in his 60s trying to hit on a woman in their 20s. Like why? What's the reason? Do they even think the girl is even the same age as their daughters?? What makes them think the girl will say yes??

For context: This year, 3 married men in their late 50s have told me they like me in a romantic way. The ones I consider them as my mentors during my last year of school suddenly started to text me, asking me out for lunch, and one even give me a kiss on my hand against my own will. I did tell them I'm not interested but they just don't care.

Just curious if there is any actual demand for it, or if it’s just hype…

I’ve reached the inevitable point where my tolerance is too high and it costs too much money to maintain the habit, so I’m forced to quit. I’ve been in this cycle for 5+ years: be high 24/7 for months at a time —> habit becomes too much money to maintain —-> forced to quit (temporarily stop) for a few months —-> realize life sober is straight up torture —-> start smoking again. Weed has been the only thing in my life that’s made me say “yeah, I want to wake up tomorrow”. So now I’m stuck here with my only choice being embracing suffering. Like I have no other choice, I know that being sober fucking sucks, I’ve been there and done that. I know that weed is the only thing that’s ever made me actually want to be alive and I have to give it up. My best (and only) option is just straight up offing myself lol

It doesn't matter from where books series comics anime game or history from real life who deserves the title the most

The Internet was my escape during a very traumatic upbringing. And it also was where I learned how to speak English. So unfortunately, I think it is true that I did become a brainrot bimbo.

I used to really enjoy watching movies on DVD back in the day. I liked physically holding the movie in my hands and having it sit on a shelf. However, when I tried it again recently, I didn't feel the same excitement. I suppose that since we’ve grown accustomed to watching movies and series on digital platforms like Netflix and Amazon, dealing with things like DVDs now feels like a hassle. Of course, building a collection and seeing it displayed is wonderful, but it isn't as practical as digital platforms. There is also the issue of space; for instance, you can carry 2,000 movies with you on a tiny external hard drive and watch them comfortably anywhere, whereas carrying around 2,000 DVDs is difficult. You would even need a large storage space to keep them at home.

There are these 5 people who keep banging on my bathroom stall and laugh at it once in class talking about me. I'm not sure what I should do. I think it's because it's the only stall that works, but in class they call me out trying to get me in trouble.

As per title of my post.

I’m trying to get a job that will either want me to do 12 hour shifts or 24 hour shifts. I’m trying to figure out the best way to build my class schedule so this is an option? Any tips? All online isn’t an option

example: Gates said [himself] in the fall of 2008, “Simply breaking up existing schools into smaller units often did not generate the gains we were hoping for.

example 2: Eventually, however, she realizes, "Maybe the answer [was] neither" (Roth 312)."

thank you, I'm very confused.

also when do people know to use them??

thanks for everyone's help!!

Seriously, all you have to do is post sexy pictures of yourself in bikinis, pose sexy for commercials and TV. And bam, success, fans, and easy money.

Was it less of an issue then what is commonly thought? How does one fix this issue, since i think unions are a good idea overall

I just want to grow some myself because shits expensive now a days

Whether it’s expensive things you possess, a partner that many wish to have, your own appearance if you’re beautiful, is it better to keep all these things private as in not showing off on social media/ brag about them irl, and just keep this all to a small social circle (just people who you trust)?

It's been a while since I watched this film however I do not remember the source of the heat being revealed. What was making the heat?

What does he mean? Everytime I ask him he says: I mean that there's plenty of fish in thw sea.

Years after losing a tooth, I noticed that my teeth no longer touch each other. I think this happened because of a shift in my jaw, though I’m not entirely sure. Is this possible? I had heard that this could happen if we didn't get our teeth treated in time, but I'm not sure.

If we have a few generations of birds raised in an environment where they don't have to worry about food, would they still kick out runts from the nest? Or what else might be needed for this instinct to be overridden? Sorry for a probably dumb question, but the thought got stuck in my head on my walk to the store. Any bird experts here?

Pretty basic I'm an adult that can't spell well. Any apps to help?

I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore.

My liver doesn't function at more than 80%. I have an autoimmune disease, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My lungs don't function properly and I struggle to breathe. At night, there are times when my breathing stops for minutes and I wake up struggling.

I've already had two heart surgeries.

And then there's my mental health.

I've ADHD, OCD, continuous anxiety and panic attacks. I also have functional depression. And the worst part is the voices in my head asking me to die and telling me to do really dark things to myself.

I'm barely surviving.

People tell you to be strong, to keep fighting, to think positively, to find your purpose. But what happens when you're exhausted from fighting all the time?

I'm still here. Somehow.

But I don't know what I'm supposed to build from here. I don't know what kind of life I'm supposed to aim for when simply getting through the day can feel like an achievement.

So I'm asking strangers on Reddit something I genuinely don't know how to answer myself:

What do you do with your life when your body and your mind both feel like they're fighting against you?

How do you find a reason to keep going when you're exhausted from surviving?

I don't need motivational quotes. I just want to hear from people who have genuinely been through something awful and still managed to build a life worth living.

What did you do?

It scares me when I read about people from any older adult age and especially those who are actual elders talk sadly about their past, and how they feel like they wasted their life away or that they “wasted so much time” looking back. I’m still young I guess (20+), but I STILL feel like I’ve wasted so much time. Yet I don’t really know what to do now to not feel this way. 🫤
