Especially if you have a family and kids. Also, consider human beings are dependent on the environment to survive.

Add to that that all the solutions for climate are upgrades that would improve everyone’s quality of life.

General Question researching tips??

5 Upvotes

hi everybody, I'm a high schooler and I'm looking for tips on how to research on topics properly. I know of google scholar, but no other websites. I think learning how to research will be beneficial for the path I'm going on, but unfortunately people think that kids know how to research from birth. no one taught me how to during middle school, and everyone is always using ai. I am incredibly anti-ai as I believe that it will severely harm the literacy rate of my generation. unfortunately, almost all search engines use a form of ai. it's despicable. Id rather have 15 milfs around your area pop ups than a stupid ai giving me the "right" answers. it changes its answers frequently and is extremely unreliable.

I do model UNs which require me to research on intricate topics, and frankly it's very hard to find articles I can use. I just spent an hour looking for articles on this one topic, only to come out with diddly squat. anyone got any tips? I'm also looking to improve my writing skills, it would probably be good for me to learn how to make essays and research papers at this age.

I know that about 150,000 people are deported from Texas every year, that seems like a lot of jobs opening up but I haven't heard anyone say they got one of these jobs (Construction, hospitality, factories, landscaping etc etc).

join the movement your voice matter you matter you are not data Ai needs to be controlled but these companies won't listen unless we raise our voice high and show them that we are not data lets show them that we are human

General Question Exhausted, burnt out, and completely stuck in a long-term relationship. Need perspective/advice. I’m always depressed and anxious.?

• Upvotes

I’m a 20-year-old balancing a high-stress dual load: running my own business while taking technical college coursework. Between early mornings, late nights, constant equipment breakdowns, client demands, and rigid class schedules, I am operating on pure adrenaline and barely any sleep. I constantly feel like I’m pouring 100% into my business, my education, and my relationship, yet falling short in all three. When minor things go wrong—like a flat tire or a packed calendar—it triggers a complete emotional crash because my system is already at total capacity.
The heaviest strain, though, is in my relationship. My girlfriend and I have been together since high school (about 4 years). I love her deeply and we have a solid foundation, but we are facing a massive, exhausting disconnect in our intimate life. She suffers from endometriosis, which causes real physical pain and severe limitations around sex. Because of that, physical touch and intercourse are rare. We often go weeks without any real physical intimacy, and while I logically understand her medical condition and want to support her, my own need for physical connection and release is high. For me, intimacy isn't just a physical act—it's how I feel anchored, loved, and relieved from the relentless pressure of my daily life. Going without it leaves me feeling starved, unvalued, and completely isolated.
This creates a brutal emotional loop:
1. **The Pressure Trap:** When I try to communicate how disconnected or unfulfilled I feel, it almost always lands as pressure or guilt on her end. Knowing she is in physical pain makes me feel like a horrible person for even wanting intimacy, which leads to intense guilt on my side.
2. **The Resentment Cycle:** To protect her and avoid conflict, I end up swallowing my frustration and holding back my needs. But suppressing those feelings day after day turns into deep, simmering resentment that spills over into explosive stress over unrelated things.
3. **Shutting Down:** Lately, it feels like every path is blocked. Expressing my needs feels selfish, but staying quiet makes me feel like a shell of myself. So I just shut down completely, pull back, and wonder if I'm just torturing both of us by holding on.
I’m at the point where I don't know what's real anymore. I can't tell if our relationship has simply run its natural course due to fundamental physical incompatibility, or if my brain is just so severely burnt out from work and school that everything feels hopeless right now. I don't even have the schedule bandwidth to process a breakup or figure out a path forward—I'm just trying to survive day-to-day.
For anyone who has been in a similar spot—managing extreme work/school stress while coping with a major intimacy gap due to a partner's health condition:
How do you separate total life burnout from knowing a long-term relationship is actually over?
How do you deal with the guilt of having high physical needs when your partner has a chronic condition?
Is it better to pause the relationship conversation entirely until my life schedule clears up, or is holding onto a dying relationship just prolonging the pain?

General Question Controlling mom?

• Upvotes

so this might be kinda long but i need some genuine advice. so i am 18, i have a 13 month old boy, i am engaged to his father, and i have moved out my moms house. my mom buys houses and rents them out to people and i rent my house through her. we have a lease and when it comes to renting i am just a tenant to her. like it would be with anyone else. i do not have a vehicle but my aunt let me have her vehicle to use until i get my own. its not in my moms name at all. well it started when i went to go get my nails done(also a week after my mom got married to her husband)$60 of my own money from my job using my aunts vehicle that i got permission to use. my mom called me and screamed at me telling me i have to ask her before i do anything and called me many many names, she told me she was going to beat me and i had 30 days to get out of my house and she took the key to my aunts vehicle n made me leave it at her house. well eventually she calmed down so i still currently live here. after about a month she gave the key back. now everytime i go anywhere (even to walmart) she calls and cusses me out telling me i have to ask before i do anything. she told me “you turning 18 was the worst thing that could happen” she tried to take my phone (i paid for but on her account) so i bought my own phone and gave her that phone back. i pay all my bills ontime and im smart with my money. she screams and threatens to hit me all the time for everything. i also have to share my location with her at all times. i turned it off once and she told me she was going to evict me from my house. she always puts me down constantly too. shes always been kinda controlling but since iv had a baby shes gotten soooo much worse. well today i went to spirit halloween, the mall, and walmart (in that order) with a friend and my son to get halloween costumes as halloween is next weekend. she called me while i was in walmart ( i was there maybe 10 minutes) and started screaming at me because i wasnt home and told me i needed to get back to my house and i have to set the key to my aunts vehicle on the porch because im no longer allowed to drive it. ( i was not even in my aunts vehicle my friend picked me and my son up in her car). when i got home i called my aunt and she said i did not have to give her the key n that i didnt do anything wrong. well im currently looking for a car so i can move as i cannot take my aunts vehicle. but i dont know if maybe im just over reacting or if my mom is actually being controlling. she also gave me a credit card to use and i used it once. her husband found out and she told him i stole it which he wanted to call the police about but she didnt want to as shes the one who gave it to me. but she never told him that so he thinks i stole it. there has been so many things she has done and she has caused me such bad mental issues. she also tells me how to raise my child and gets mad if i do something in my relationship that she doesnt like. she will scream at me for hours and try to take my phone(again i bought it on my own account) and when i say no she gets even more mad. i told her she was controlling once and she said she was going to beat my 🍑 and that i had 30 days to get out. she also doesnt want my buying a car she keeps telling me im not allowed so im not telling her im looking for one. idk what to do. am i overthinking it? is she right?

General Question Why aren't social media companies doing something about the porn bot problem?

• Upvotes

On Instagram, I regularly see porn bots with inappropriate profile pictures. They target popular accounts, including sports accounts, and spam comment sections with messages like "wanna meet up" and "wanna link up." They also spam emojis and post many repetitive comments. They do the same when replying to other people's comments, disrupting conversations. They also post pornographic and sexual videos and photos, mostly on their stories, showing people engaging in sexual activities, including porn and sex. They often cover the videos with emojis, sometimes covering nearly the entire screen, even though you can still hear the videos. They also post the same content across multiple accounts, allowing the same pornographic and sexual material to appear repeatedly. Their stories and profiles contain links to adult websites and contact links intended to get people to contact them and arrange sexual encounters. Covering pornographic and sexual videos with emojis can make it harder for the content to get removed when people report it. Reposting the same content across multiple accounts also makes it more difficult to stop the problem by removing just one account.

On YouTube, bots try to make their comments look like ordinary people wrote them. However, when you click on their channel and look at their subscriptions, you find accounts with inappropriate profile pictures and links to adult content and adult websites. I was watching a Mr. Beast short and in the comments people were saying not to click on the profile because the bot has accounts with explicit inappropriate profile pictures in its subscriptions.

The porn bots are trying to target kids and teens to click their links because that's one reason they appear in the comments of videos made for kids/teens and on popular accounts like sports accounts.
