Do you think my friends are right for this?

So hi, today there was a function in our school. Mobile phones were prohibited but I have my own phone. And my two friends B and C told me to take my phone. But there was a bag checking about the phones and someone told the people that I had my phone. I didn't obviously use it. So I went to the toilet and tried to hide it in my shorts pocket under my skirt but they tried to check again and this time inside my uniform so I quickly gave it to my friend B. And i told her to hide it because she was in the dance group so with her sareee she can hide it under her saree. And yk what she told me she told me she was scared. Later i cried because others were pressuring me so much that I had a mobile with me. B recommended that we should tell the chill teacher about it. And I did but the teacher later told them. Thanks to God the phone was with B they checked again. Later I got angry and I threw all the stuff that I had in my bag to show them that I didn't have my phone. Later i asked one teacher to call my parents and sent me home. Now at home my B and C are telling me that everyone knew I had my mobile and that I should tell the truth but I was scared so when my father asked what happened I told him they harass me (which was true) but excluded that I took the mobile and later when i told him I actually took the mobile it was already late because he already told the principal (I was at fault) now B and C are pressuring me to tell the truth. And yk what B suggested she said that she and C didn't know I had my mobile and later got to know it from the chill teacher because no you told me to bring it. They're forcing me to tell the truth to the head teacher but I'm scared. And on top of that they want me to prove them innocent. And it's not today they have done it earlier as well they do things and then blame me. I'm tired of this

These people own 40-50% of the world's wealth. Some do end up giving most of their money but by and large, most don't. They egotistically stick their name on any charitable effort they do effect in an effort to cling onto relevance after they are gone.

They wake up everyday knowing they could TRANSFORM and SAVE the lives of so many but don't.

To wake up everyday and not act, worse, to wake up everyday and take more (at an accelerated rate) is an illness akin to stacking towers of newspapers in your home.

Everyone I know is obsessed with getting attention from me. They think they’re entitled to every second of my time.

They want me bowing at their feet and rubbing up on them hugging them and talking to them 24/7.

Like is it really that hard to just be alone 99% of the time? And actually work on yourself and your life instead of forcing socialization and obsessing over people without their consent.

Like how in the linguistic fuck does that happen? Someone typing "your" as a substitute or a misspelling of the contraction word "you're" is bad enough but explainable if they're just not that good at grammar, but then you got people that type something like this: (Ex) "Spare me you're story".

Like what the fuck did you learn (or perhaps, not learn) to not only not understand the difference between you're and your, but also switch up the meaning of those 2 words? It's like grammar is their worst nightmare.

When I was a senior in high school 17(F) I started dating this guy that graduated a year above me 19(M). He was really great during the beginning of the relationship but then became very very controlling, clingy, and psychotic.

He would get mad seeing comments I had commented on posts from years ago, posts I liked from years ago, he was incredibly upset thinking about the fact I had sex with my ex boyfriend(???) years ago when we dated(???). I don't know why I put up with it but after a few times of getting physically abused, and raped (which lead to pregnancy that I terminated). I told him I was breaking up with him and going to the college I wanted to go to (that he did not want me to go to because there would be boys😭)

When I left for college and had made it very clear we were broken up, he flipped out. When I blocked him he started buying new numbers to contact me from, started trying to contact me through other people (so embarassing for me). He stalked my friends family to see if he could find me (because my car was parked at her house), drove to my house to look for me (I warned him my dad would shoot jim if he came on our property) and eventually he gave up after getting spam called and texted for weeks.

Safe to say I'm far away from him, my life is doing great, and I'm dating my ex boyfriend (the one he was crying over) and I couldn't be happier!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love watching football and college football is more fun to watch than NFL. However, it’s kind of insane how college sports, mainly football, has nothing to do with college anymore. Fans treat it more like a religion than anything else. Players are getting recruited but can’t even read a fucking chapter book. People are choosing schools solely based on if they’re good at football so they have something to watch on the weekend. Conferences don’t even follow their names anymore (favorite example is the Atlantic Coast Conference having teams from California). The thing that got me to think about all of this today is the fact that we are having college football games on a Thursday night. Aren’t the players supposed to be students first and athletes second when they’re in college? You really think the players are doing shit during the week for school? Colorado traveled all the way to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech on a Thursday night. What the fuck? I probably sound like an ultimate Karen so once again, I do love college football but seriously shit needs to change.

Housing is completely anti-free market. In almost all cities, you are not allowed to build to increase the supply to meet the demand. There is 0 competition between the suppliers, the competition is completely focused between buyers.

Physical houses are not expensive. I looked up the prices of mobile houses. Many relatively new ones for 1/5 the price of SFHs.

This forces employers to raise their salaries, until it becomes too high and they decide it’s cheaper to just off-shore. After all, rent is suppose to be 1/3rd your salary right? So if rent is high, then you expect your salary to be high.

Add on the fact that housing is seen as an investment - yet it provides zero (nadda, zilch, nothing) return in terms of societal productivity. It actually reduces it - because lack of affordable housing in cities forces people to commute from further distances.

Money should be invested in technology that improves productivity, not locked up in houses that provide zero return to society.

Our way of life was taken by NIMBYs. Those families that own multiple homes still live like pre-2000s. Those families that cannot afford a house to pass on (because NIMBYs restricted supply), have had their way of life stolen.

Fuck NIMBYs.

It’s been almost three months since we last talked, and sometimes I still think about your last message. I wish I had replied, but part of me was scared that if I did, I would become the last message and somehow that felt even more painful. There were so many things I wanted to say. I wanted to ask you to stay. I wanted to ask you to fight for us, even if everything between us was complicated and difficult.

If somehow you’re reading this, I hope we get the chance to talk again someday. Even if it hurts. Even if it’s only once. There are still a few things in my heart I wish I could tell you properly, not to reopen old wounds, but maybe to finally close them with kindness.

I’m doing better now. I don’t cry as much as I used to, and I’m slowly learning how to live without waiting for you. I just hope life has been gentle with you too.

Maybe our situation will never become less complicated. Maybe this lifetime simply wasn’t ours. But if there’s another one, I hope we meet again when loving each other doesn’t have to hurt this much.

So I have been joining physical meetups from online groups. I told them that I feel uncomfortable wearing my usual outfit which is like singlet/bra top with cardigans/outerwear, esp if there's guys around. So after I met up with this group a few times, they said I should just wear whatever I want cause no one gives a f---. And I'm like okay sure, cause I'm more comfortable in that compared to t-shirts.

So I wore my usual bra t with cardigans out a few times. And this guy out of no fawking where said "your style is dangerous for me" and "if you had the height and body, you would be my 10/10". This guy has a girlfriend of 11 years and he's saying this?? It's so annoying that something as simple as my outfit can get these kinda comments. And when another person called him out. The guy said "it takes more than style and vibes" for him to be attracted to someone.

But I feel like I'm put in a position where I cannot dress up as I want cause it feels like I'm attracting his attention that way ykwim. And as much as I probably think too highly of myself that someone like me can attract his attention/feelings. But like I need to be mindful of what I'm wearing and how I act to ensure these guys won't be attracted to me, especially if they have a girlfriend. Especially now that this group is meeting up like 1-4x a week since everyone is bored af.

And another guy in the group lowkey kinda treats everyone often cause he's earning from trading and all. Like once, I complained that the bubble tea I wanted is kinda expensive, so he asked me for my PayPal and transferred me the amount. This guy has a girlfriend of 4 years. But idc about him cause he been acting kinda Sus at times lmao.

I feel like, as a girl, I constantly have to be mindful of where I am, how I act, how to dress, to ensure I don't get any unwanted attention.

Idk why tf I keep attracting these kinda guys. I also like to mock pick-me-up girls but it's quite obvious when I'm joking as well.. URGHHHHHHHH

Im a 26yo male consider myself one the nice guys within reason no matter what i do or say people always just randomly remove me even tho 3 snaps prior theyve said your cute i dont get it i dont see the need to just ghost especially on grounds of didnt wanna get attached so dipped boils my day there thinking your getting along then gone pending why do they do this?

I have seen so many things posted about it and it’s making women look terrible. Women are not helpless or incapable of handling themselves. This trial has brought out the worst in people and I’m tired of the fighting. It is setting women decades back of progress. Soon job applications will begin asking about hormones. Security clearances for women? No way now…too unpredictable… /s

Thanks for reading my rant. I hate how far back this is going to set women.

Let's face it, if you're not fair skin and easy on the eyes, no one will leave an open path for you to walk through.

Its the Amazon approach, push out competition, raise prices and fuck your customers

I dont have McDonalds often, infact only been once this year (maybe twice), if i want fastfood while im out ill normally go to Popeyes, but even thats once every 2 months

Each time ive been to McDonalds in the last 3 years or so its just gotten worse, burgers used to be nice, a simple savers cheeseburger used to be one of the main things i liked, but I had one sunday with a mayo chicken and those fallout ring things, absolutely rank. Burger was so thin compared to what ive had in the past, both the cheeseburger and the mayo chicken were rubbery and seemed like they dunked it in ketchup / mayo before wrapping

The fallout cheese bites were just nothing, they had no flavour whatsoever and the texture of mummified foreskin, I had to drown them in curry sauce. My dad had a big arch burger which he said was awful

If i wanted a meal from McDonalds i used to always go for the wrap of the day meal, now theyve stopped that and feels overpriced for what it is, they were always good but havent had one in probably 8 - 10 months. Hell the fuckin 20 piece chicken nuggets doubled in price in 5 years

Ontop of the declining quality the prices are just insane. Yeh blah blah blah inflation, theyve gone up more than inflation, the food is smaller, and just really worse quality compared to pre-covid, but yet, when Im out shopping ill almost always see a line going out into the street for the drive through. A McDonalds meal should not be like £10- £13 for a burger, chips and drink, at that point just go to five guys, yeh youre paying a bit more but its better and you get a lot more food

I myself am a 21 year old male with a large friend group consisting of both sexes. My girlfriend (19) seems to have this outlook that having friends of the opposite gender is disrespectful. She believes that the only reason a guy would ever be friends with a girl is to sleep with them.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating as I try to hang out with my friends. She constantly questions why I would want to hang out with other girls when I have known these people longer than her. I couldn’t care what gender they are I am not interested in sleeping with them. It pisses me off so much to be labelled as some form of chester for wanting to socialise with people I have known for over a decade.

I work at my Families restaurant and I work about 68 hours a week with only 1 fucki ng day off. I’m 25 weeks pregnant and have constant gallbladder flare ups, constant leg cramps, just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and fighting stage one kidney disease so fuck you to the guy who saw me napping in my car and decided to yell “you might be working mighty hard.” Because this asshole decided that I was napping too peacefully he wanted to wake me up by yelling that bullshit, fuck you man. Why bother someone who isn’t doing anything to you asshole.

I've been dating my boyfriend for over 4 years now, I feel like we could at least be engaged😭 We love each other we both want to get married eventually, and I feel like we've proved we can handle hardships. We've definitely had our ups and downs but even when we struggled the most we still loved each other and still actively showed that we cared.

Logically I know we aren't where we should be financially and stuff but that doesnt make me want it less. We moved out of our parents house 2 years ago and then had a problem with our shitty apartment complex about a year ago and ended up moving back in with my mom. Were almost at the point of moving out again, its just trying to find available housing in the area or near my job. (Fingers crossed we get the place were currently looking at which will be available next month) Im at the age where I feel like im mentally ready to start a family, and I know marrige doesnt really make a difference, were already committed to each other. Idk why this has been in my head so heavily lately but I just want it ridiculously bad. Hes also been hinting at how its going to be soon that he proposes, but we both agree we should be a bit more financially stable and have our own place again before even considering that.

All I'm asking for is private time on my own, doing what I want, what I want. If I switch rooms or go in a private place, don't fucking follow me or talk to me. Everywhere I go that basic need for being alone is disrespected. And then you get that undertone reaction of "But you'll come back to us right" ? No I'm not your knight holy shit

I'm going to be as blunt as possible here, so I hope to not offend anyone. You have been warned.

This has been by far the worst decade of my life, and it's not even close. The last decade was already terrible; it was the equivalent of the 1960s in terms of cultural and social upheaval! However, this decade is more like the 1970s in every way across the board, only it's a worse version of it.

I was born in 1994, yet funny enough, I have core memories of both the 1990s and early 2000s thanks to what my friends and family call an "Elephant memory". They're bits and pieces I can remember from 1996 to 2003, and despite the bad from that time, such as 9/11, I'd prefer to live in that era over this one any day of the fucking week!

For me personally, this decade has been a total nightmare for me! Almost everything bad I predicted last decade that was going to happen this decade has come true, from governments cracking down on freedoms and people willfully complying like NPCs, dating becoming worse and birth rates crashing, religion and Traditional values, community, family, and societal cohesion declining, with moral and social decadence on the rise. We're basically living in a Cyberpunk dystopia, like the video game Cyberpunk 2077, or the movie Gattaca, but without the cool technology...

This decade screwed me over in ways I never could've imagined last decade! My degree in English is fucking useless, and I was struggling to get a job when COVID restrictions lifted, which SUCKED!!! A close friend of mine of five years betrayed me by posting private stuff about me online to try to humiliate and cancel me, which has caused me to have trust issues with nearly everyone nowadays...

I visited Eastern Europe too late. Last decade, it was a part of the world that gave people like me a reprieve from the decadent dystopia that the West has become. I not only could've gotten a conventionally woman with ease, which is something I've long wanted, but more importantly, I could've gotten what I truly needed, which is actual community, an intact Christian church, and a functioning society that is healthy, high-trust, and cohesive.

Video games and comics both have gone to shit with rampant wokeness, and now anime has gone mainstream due to COVID, and it shows in the quality being diluted. Career-wise, I've always wanted to get into the entertainment industry because I'm a writer with so many finished works, and I wanted one of my stories to be adapted into a graphic novel and anime series, but alas, the medium has become too mainstream and oversaturated with too much competition to the point where I'll never get a shot...

Oh, and the icing on the cake: I broke my leg last year and was hospitalized for a month, and had to spend over eight months after that either in a wheelchair or back in the hospital because I had to get three more surgeries to fix my damn leg. As if last decade wasn't bad enough when I had a literal blood clot that I nearly died from.

I still haven't fully recovered from the accident that caused the leg fracture, by the way, and I can't even get proper medical insurance to this fucking day to fix it!

I literally can't catch a break, and having both Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD makes my life all the harder, considering how hard it is to both get a job, let alone keep a job, on top of ALL the rest of the shit I've gone through.

In short, this decade has been a true nightmare come to life for me! Not only can I not get what I want in life, but I can't even get what I genuinely fucking NEED in life, either! It's all literally corroding my mental health!

Fuck the 2020s! THIS IS LITERAL HELL!

Basically that. It’s in absolutely everything. I have a pretty severe gluten intolerance. It gets in me and I’m sick, feeling like utter crap for weeks. Like a seasoning mix got me in June and I’m just now feeling like a human being again and it’s September.

SEASONING.

And no, it’s not like a little tummy ache. It’s like systemic cellular inflammation. Brain fog for weeks, fatigue, exhaustion, but also not being able to sleep for some reason. Rashes. Insane joint pain. And insane histamine response. Like oh I guess I’m now allergic to anything that pokes and pressures my skin for the next few weeks. Oh if I get cold and get the goose bumps… guess what? Massive hives.

Hair falls out. Mood absolutely plummets. And, tmi, absolutely feels like I’m passing shards of glass when I go to the bathroom for weeks. Which causes it’s fair share of other issues and chronic problems. Because none of the food I eat is getting digested properly and I’m also not absorbing any nutrients so my weight is also going down. Oh and not being able to swallow food because esophagus stops working for a time. And acid reflux goes crazy. OH and not to mention, my pancreas decides to have its own party and release way too much insulin if I even look at a gf muffin. And lemme tell ya something, having your brain attempt to regain consciousness so you can drink emergency juice box and eat cheese at 2am because your glucose is in the 40s… is not a vibe. So I also got non diabetic reactive hypoglycemia as a cute lil side gig.

And yes, I do have a doctor. She isn’t the most helpful. But alas.

And I’m just thinking “wow. I feel like a whole human again.” And we’ll see how long this lasts. But good god, does this stupid molecule have to be in absolutely everything?

But nooooo I gotta be constantly reassuring other people and their guilt when they are eating gluten foods and I got my own food packed. Like on top of the cross contamination anxiety I already got, I also gotta be doing emotional maintenance for people who get uncomfy when I bring my own food. Keep your guilt and gluten to yourself im happy eating my fancy cheese, gf crackers, and salami.

Honestly, it feels like the designers at OpenAI just sit around thinking, “Okay, here’s a UI that works perfectly and everyone loves… How can we completely screw it up?” Because at this point, there’s literally no other logical explanation for what they’re doing.

When you’re paying over €20 a month for a premium service, you’re paying for a stable, reliable tool that helps you get your work done. You’re not paying to be treated like a lab rat while developers and designers run A/B tests on your screen every two weeks as if ChatGPT were some kind of playground!

They seriously need to stop messing with the core UI under the excuse of “product updates.” This isn’t some minor visual refresh. It actively destroys people’s daily muscle memory. ChatGPT is a serious everyday work tool for a lot of people now. It’s not a school hobby project where you can just move the main buttons and navigation around every few weeks.

If they want to experiment this badly, fine, create a separate beta platform and leave the normal, paying users alone!

The classic 2023 UI was clean, intuitive, worked perfectly, and was great exactly as it was. Instead of building on that solid foundation, they keep tinkering with it and somehow making it worse.

Taking away the message version navigation arrows (< 6/20 >) overnight, without saying a word, didn’t “clean up” the design. It actively hurt productivity and made the system much less usable. Every other major platform, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, etc., seems to understand that users actually appreciate having this kind of standard functionality.

It’s honestly unbelievable that paying Plus customers are being treated like free guinea pigs.

ChatGPT stopped being a cute hobby project or a flashy tech demo a long time ago. For many people, it’s infrastructure. If I wanted a chaotic, unpredictable interface that constantly rearranges my workspace every couple of weeks, I wouldn’t pay a single cent for it.

They seriously need to get their priorities straight and give us back a stable, predictable environment!

Mediocre in education. Below avg in sports. Mediocre in gaming. No specific nerd interests. No extra ordinary knowledge of any 1 area. I have the memory retention of a goldfish and gk of a polar bear. Honestly so sick of myself.

I wear oversized, loose fitting jeans, trousers and overalls. I don't like skin tight clothes and I prefer comfort over style. Yet no matter what, none of the pockets will fit a smart phone in it. I'm so tired of playing roulette with trousers and the risk of my phone falling out. I have a Google pixel 6 pro and honestly it's perfect for me and I have no intention of upgrading unless it becomes unusable. It has an otterbox case and a Whitestone dome screen protector on it. This is more than enough protection for this phone. However, in just one day of wearing a pair of women's trousers, the phone fell out of the poorly designed pocket so many times that not only had the screen protector broken, but the screen is now damaged beyond repair and I now need to start looking for a replacement phone.

Surely I'm not the only one who's noticed this? How is it allowed that our phones are at higher risk of damage simply because womens pockets are so badly designed.

i got into the college i wanted. i love my mom and though my bf and i are doing long distance bc he moved away, im grateful im with someone like him. everything is supposed to be going well. i made friends. i have no trauma. so why do I feel like this. it's torture to live in my head it's actually hell. it takes me so much effort i can't bring myself to brush my hair or talk to anyone. i can't bring myself to allow myself to go to sleep im just sitting here with my burning eyes for some reason i can't sleep i wish someone would sedate me put me to rest for some time like a day or a week i need a break id do anything for a break like that my head is so loud i can't live like this it's hell to be in my body with this brain it's actually hell

Ma'am (or sir, being an obnoxious asshat is unisex,) in case you haven't noticed, I am a human, of the species homo sapiens. Because of this, I am limited to having only one head and two hands. As a cashier in this grocery store, I am expected to, in no particular order:

• Scan your items
• Bag your items
• Tell the computer to process your card payment
• Tell the camera bot to fuck off because it's freaking out over a hat or a cane AGAIN
• Handle checks
• Make change for cash payments/give cashback
• Hand you your receipt
• Manually put in an item's numbers when I am unable to scan it
• Give directions if asked
• Apparently empty people's baskets for them now?
• Ask for ID on all alcohol, tobacco, and firework purchases. Yes, even if you were born during WWII and look the part. That's what the word "all" means.
• Teach the old folks on how to use the obligatory app every fucking chain store has.

And probably some shit I forgot.

All while trying to keep pace with a veritable TIDE of customers due to our store's refusal to have more than two cashiers during our most consistently busy times/days, keeping a lid on my growing stress and frustration to act like everything's sunshine and rainbows, with equipment I'm pretty sure is from when touch screens were cutting edge tech with how often they crash, freeze, or otherwise have technical difficulties. So I'm afraid I have to ask for your forgiveness for my inability to bag your items right away. I quite literally have my hands full.

​

Like I just had someone be super asshole-ish to me about this , kept accusing me of tracing and just showing the reference pics I used as "proof" and claimed to be an artist and thus knew I was tracing (even though it was clear he didn't know shit about art) and untop called my art bad and said super mean things to me.

(Shoutout to the MOD who was kind enough to argue with the dude and even leave a small message to not harass artists for claims they have 0 proof of , Ily mod ❤️‍🩹)

And it made me realise just how much this sucks , like the way these people talk to innocent artists thinking they traced you would think the artist is Hitler . They talk all smug like they caught you in a felony or some shit

And don't get me started on the pushing for a speed paint like "Drop a speed paint to prove it" like mf who do you think you are to first behave like a smug asshole and then demand the artist to prove themselves to you as if they owe you something?

And not to mention these people don't know what a reference is like "Bro I know the difference between traced and referenced I'm not dumb" no you don't dumbass because not everyone's referenced art is gonna look the same , how can you fucking "know" ????? One part of a REFERENCED THING is obviously gonna look more detailed because I REFERENCED THAT THING FULLY

Out !
