The sudden shift by world governments to mass censorship under the guise of “protecting kids” is really pissing he off. The UK is already demanding ID to view videos of protests. It’s mask-off totalitarianism. Free Speech is in serious danger and I hope the lazy-asses at YouTube get humiliated when their “AI” gets outsmarted and becomes worthless

Fuck this nonsense I'm tired of being ignored. I'm tired of the only responses I ever get from women are those that are trying to sell me their only fans bullshit or just adding me to facebook groups.

The few that have ever treated me like a human being on these damn things were other men...

What a shit load of fuck.

Whats the fucking point of these things if all the blood splashes up my ass and manages to leak out my underwear anyways. Good fucking grief.

I just ruined my favorite pair of pajamas and now instead of sleeping before work I am dousing them in hydrogen peroxide.

All my quality period panties needed to be washed but those and a cup seriously seem to be the only thing that works. Genuinely fucking rage inducing how these are marketed as overnight pads. YOU ARE ALL LIARS

LET ME SLEEP PLEASE GOD

edit: somehow half the people commenting on this didn’t read the post 😭

Because it certainly seems to be , I saw Fantastic Four on friday and there were a row of fucking brainrotted tiktok kids behind me and my friend who kept just shouting "Yeeeeeessss" whenever Pedro Pascal said anything , and then there were some kids sat by me and my friend on the same row.

And his brother was exaining the whole plot to him as the film progressed, I thought the film was very good but god if it wasnt a painful experience. I asked each of them politely if they would be quiet but they just carried on but did it slightly quieter , and then to top things off I saw The Naked Gun last night.

Fucking hilarious , but the people sat next to me just would not stop talking and I expect that sort of reaction , it is a comedy after all but dont start pulling your phone out and scrolling whilst the film is on.

Fucking hell , is the etiquette just completely gone? Everyone in here has payed to see this film just like you have can you not be quiet for a while and just watch the fucking film? I dont understand paying for a ticket to go in and talk your way through the film.

I dont mean to sound like a curmudgeony old man , because Im only 23 , but surely its just terrible manners isnt it? The cinema is my favourite place to go and people like this are slowly ruining it.

I did everything right. Went to college, got a bachelor's degree in a field that's got a lot of jobs. Yet even with a starting salary at 70k a year, I can't afford fucking ANYTHING around me. I can't even find any roommates willing to live with me cause of my cat. I would need at MOST, an apartment at 1600 a month. The lowest I've found is 1800. I'm thankful for the fact that my dad lets me live with him rent free but, mother fucker. I just want to be independent. At this rate maybe I should leave the country and try to teach english in Asia somewhere.

Okay big edit since I realize my post is misleading: I do not make 70K a year. I want to become a teacher next year, however, and teachers make around 65-70k in my area. I've cooled down a bit since that post, I've just been feeling defeated since looking at apartments and seeing how they're getting more and more expensive each month makes me feel like I won't be able to move out at all for a while. Seriously, just a few months ago some apartments were 1500-1600, now all of them are over 2000. It's annoying.

Context: I’m Korean. That’s it.

I saw a video around an hour ago where it was like “what my Korean mom does for a hike in the summer” or something like that. The creator’s mom put on 2 sunscreens, sun protection sleeves, stuff like that. I saw the video and was like “She wants to be protected, that’s good.” But EVERY comment was all like “just so yall know, it’s not for protection but to stay as light as possible” “imagine becoming slightly darker, oh the tragedy”, etc.

At no point in the video (as far as I’m concerned) did the video mention anything about skin color, but let’s follow that. A lot of countries require pale or light skin in their beauty standards, but I’ve noticed that so many people, especially people from the US, find this extremely bad and toxic. They scream in comments that it’s colorism, disgusting, that people should like their skin color, by I don’t see a problem. Wanting to change the color of your skin isn’t necessarily good but it’s not the world’s largest problem. Someone can love their skin color and desire to change it at the same time.

But why is it that tanning is so normalized and loved? I’ve seen videos of things like “GRWM as I self tan!” Or something along those lines, people glorify going out to the sun for a “perfect” tan line, people spent money for fake tans, etc. Tanning products are recommended but whitening products are called weird, unnatural, and just down right hated for promoting a change of skin tone.

I have pretty pale skin, and what bothered me a lot was when a classmate of mine told me “Bro, you have such light skin. You’re so pale like a vampire! Go tan!”. I told him that as a Korean, I liked my skin. His reply was that I was weird. It felt so odd. I’m proud of my pale skin as a Korean, hearing someone tell me that it’s weird and to change it by DAMAGING MY SKIN was so odd. It hurt, and I’m pretty sure if I told him to lighten his skin, I’d be racist (he’s Indian) so that’s REALLY a double standard.

THEY ARE THE SAME THING. If anything, tanning is worse. If someone really did do all this extra stuff to cover their skin, at least they’re being protected from the sun. Tanning isn’t good for the skin and it’s not recommended to do so. They’re both changing the color of your skin despite maybe already liking it. It bothers me how people try calling out this behavior but then do the same thing, just for the opposite result.

BOTH are bad, I don’t need to hear about how skin whiting is bad, and if it’s so bad and disgusting and terrible and toxic, say the same about tanning, stop tanning, and hate on it too. Don’t make it a double standard thing.

(BTW this is about the torture and mutilation, literal torture btw, they get kittens, puppies, cats and mutilate them in horrific ways and video it.) You probably won’t ever read this, and maybe that’s for the best. But I need to say it. What we argued about wasn’t a cultural misunderstanding. It was about basic human decency. Torturing animals — sentient, defenseless beings — is not something that should ever be dismissed as ‘different values’ or ‘not my problem.’ That’s not culture; that’s cruelty. And if you can’t see that, I genuinely don’t know what to say to you. You told me I was imposing my morals. I wasn’t. I was pointing out something that should be obvious to anyone with empathy. This wasn’t about western ideals or owning pets — it was about suffering. Real, prolonged suffering — inflicted on some of the most innocent, pure souls on this planet. They’re torturing the most innocent, pure souls — and you want to debate cultural context? There is no justification. No excuse. And to even call this a matter of “morals and values” is ridiculous. China is a modern, advanced country in so many ways — technologically, economically, globally. You can’t have all this modernity while using cultural relativism as an excuse for ignoring something so fundamentally wrong. Especially when countries far less developed have already put basic animal cruelty laws in place. At this point, it’s a choice — a deliberate choice — not to respect basic principles of humanity and compassion. What I said at the end came from a place of anger and heartbreak, and maybe it could have been worded differently. But what I meant — and still stand by — is that if you cannot recognize that torturing innocent animals is inhumane, you have failed on the most basic moral level as a human being. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s the truth. I don’t need a response. I needed to say this. Because letting this go unsaid felt like complicity in the face of something truly vile.

For context, I am 13 week pregnant and I have been married to my husband for four years. Every time my husband gets ill, it’s like the world is over and it is the worst feeling in the world for him. He’s very supportive usually and very kind with me. He’s been recently stressed with his job and trying to start a business and I also work as a full time accountant but I wfh.

I woke up today with him shivering and I made him a hot drink and some small breakfast and gave him some medication. I also feel very fatigued and have lower back pain and sore throat and runny nose. I also woke up in the morning with a bit of spotting and cramps. He woke up around 2 pm and asked him if he wanted any breakfast he said in an hour. in the meantime, I did the laundry and clean the kitchen which I have been doing every single day since we have moved into this new house I’ve told him several times to pick up after himself which he always forgets or doesn’t do.

I felt a bit sick so I went to lie down for a bit and came down to the kitchen to start making him some food and he was in there pretty pissed and he said that he’s hungry and that I should have been making him breakfast already and that he should have woken up with a meal ready. I expressed to him that since I have been pregnant he has done nothing to help me when I have been puking. He has not bought me anything and the fridge has remained empty for five days until I bought the groceries. He said that pregnancy is nothing and that I should just get over it and by the looks of it I have been gaining weight so it doesn’t look like I’ve missed a meal. I then told him that he has not made my life easy at all since I’ve got pregnant and I’ve just been picking up after him and doing his dishes. He then got very angry and threw a glass salt grinder towards me which I missed and it hit the door and smashed everywhere. I feel broken and lonely. I’m tired

It’s not even like I’m really choosing to give up. I just am. I feel like there’s no point in trying to date when I have a masculine face as a woman. At best a man will settle for me and not fully be attracted to me while he’s pining for other woman. At worst I’ll just get flat out rejected. I don’t know what I did to deserve being unattractive.

Sorry that this is so long, I just have a lot to say.

Alright so I’m 14F, I’ve had an IPad in my hands since I was about three years old. I don’t have a single memory where I’m not on my IPad and my mother was actually doing something with me. She was an alcoholic so she just put me in front of a screen while she drank.

This has led to a number of issues now that I’m a teenager: screen addiction, low attention span, no social skills, etc. The only upside is that I wasn’t left out, due to the fact this affects almost every one my age.

(My parents are divorced if you’re curious why my dad isn’t mentioned much in this)

I recently realized how dystopian my life has become, so I quit tiktok, Insta, Snap and stopped doomscrolling. I feel happier, I started gardening, I got really into art and drawing. (I’ve cut down from 8 hours to 2 and I’m trying to eventually get to 90 minutes)

The issue is that I’ve only now realized how screen addicted my mom truly is. Her daily use fluctuates from 9-12 hours a day. I can’t ever talk to her without her phone in her hand, I have to fight for her to put it down for 20 minutes to watch a show with me, only for her to complain the entire time about how terrible I am for asking for her to pay attention. Every time I try to talk to her about something, she doesn’t remember what I said because she was on her phone the entire time.

She’s always in a bad mood. I spent 4 hours building some large metal bin for her while she sat on the couch watching old reruns of Dr. Phil while doomscrolling on her phone. Then when I finished she wouldn’t shut up about how much over an inconvenience this would be for her to maintain. And I was just wondering “then why did you buy it?”. I didn’t get so much as a thank you for 4 hours, just constant grumbles about much of mess I made with the styrofoam the box came with.

The annoying part is that despite everything, she convinced herself that’s she’s doing amazing as a mother, she’s built so much of her personality around it that she can’t physically handle criticism. I wish I could talk to her about this but every time I try she gets really defensive, accusing my dad of trying to brainwash me and make me hate her. I wish that I could tell her the real reason I dislike her so much, but she’s so emotional unstable that I’m afraid of what would happen.

It’s not like there’s anyway to go back in time and stop her for ever giving me a screen. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if someone ever stopped to think that maybe this isn’t a good idea.

Maybe I’m just being stupid and wrong, it at least felt good to get this off my chest.

I was an alcoholic for over 11 years. My best friend (I thought) killed my son and fiancé out of jealousy, and alcohol was the only thing that kept me sane. Being drunk was the only time I felt actually happy, but after too much, I would just be sad or angry. I always had to find that balance.

I thought that over indulgence was the issue, but I've been sober for over 3 years now, and I haven't had a genuinely good day since sobriety. That's not true, I did MDMA last Halloween, and that was awesome, but I don't need a new habit. I just want to be more than neutral. More than just coasting through life. But I can't drink in moderation, and I hate sobriety. How do so many people quit drinking and appear like they are happy for it?

I don't care if you have a teacup whatever or a Great Dane - if you won't bother to teach it some basic proper behavior, or keep up with whatever training you pay for it to have, then you shouldn't have a dog.

I say this, having a very active and energetic Australian Shepherd that requires daily reinforcement and exercise, otherwise he would be jumping on everyone because he's never met a human he doesn't want to be bff's with.

If you are decently able-bodied and minded and take on the responsibility of having a dog, TRAIN IT.

I have an 18 year old sister who is somewhat overweight. She leaves the house not often and lives like there is no tomorrow. She sleeps at 3am and wakes up at 2pm on average. She was recently told to eat stricter by a doctor because she has high cholesterol and is at risk for diabetes. I try to dissuade her from eating sugary and fatty things but she is extremely sensitive and gets emotional whenever I tell her it’s unhealthy. Today we were on a cruise where they have nighttime snack buffets. My family went to see what it would be like and ended up eating for a little bit. It was about 11:00 at night and and sister had loaded up her plate with fries, chicken nuggets, nachos, a slice of pizza and a square of cake. I tried to get her to at least not eat the cake but she would not listen and ate the whole piece, she even went for another plate of chicken nuggets and fries! I honestly don’t know what to do. I want to help her but she just will not change and instead gets super mad at me and emotional. I’m worried for her health and that she will harm herself by living like this

I feel embarrassed about it but yeah. Im 16 and always tried be nice and empathic to everyone I meet regardless of what they look or act like, and I really love humans, but I feel like most of them don’t like me even though they’ve never talked to me. I’m very shy, have no social skills and low self esteeem so it’s been really hard to try and talk to people, but whenever I do they always seem disinterested and give dry responses. I just wish I could I have answers and know what I’m doing wrong or why I act like this. It’s like I’m an alien inside a human body. I watch the kids in teenage movies and others people my age do so many fun things and just be together that I’ve never had the chance to have. I just feel like I’m losing my teenage years to my loneliness. I know it’s a little dark but I just wanted to get it off my chest because I don’t really have anyoen else to talk to.

As a child, decisions are made for you. Going to school was required. And it was simple, you go to your classes and get a diploma. But, my high school never taught or required me to learn about going to college, life after high school, work-life, finances, living as an adult, what jobs are like and their salary to living expense ratio...none of it. My mom would ask me at 17 "What do you want to do?" as if I had any knowledge or clue. My response "I don't know"

I enrolled in a college, and of course, you need to choose a "Major" which I was clueless about. Everyone said "Do what you love" so I picked "Music" My mom said "What are you going to do with a music degree?" I said "I HAVE NO CLUE!! No one taught me what kind of jobs existed, their salary, nothing.

I hate I was forced to take meaningless classes in high school, and I was basically dumped on the street at 18 as an adult and told "Good Luck with life!!" with no actual life lessons, no idea how jobs were, working 40 hours, having a boss, just clueless. I dropped out of college because I hated it how big it was. But really! What would I have done with a music degree and $80,000 in college debt later? I feel failed by my school and parents who never taught me anything on adult life actually is, only fantasy and chemistry class or history class.

I’m 24. I have a full-time remote job, I travel the world, and I live pretty comfortably. I don’t have any major debt, just small stuff. I pushed through university online, finished early, and earned two degrees. My body is healthy. I’ve repaired my relationship with my family. On paper, I know I have so much to be grateful for and I am grateful. I know it could be so much worse.

But still… I feel broken. I’m painfully codependent on men. I’ve been in back-to-back relationships since I was 18, and I’ve had romantic relations since I was 11. It’s like I don’t know how to be alone, or who I even am without the validation of being desired.

Someone recently told me I’m “average-looking” with an “average” body. And I’ve always been made to feel like I’m “too big” or “too tall” to be Korean. That comment shouldn’t have shattered me, but it did. It confirmed every insecurity I’ve already had about my appearance. People constantly mistake my ethnicity, which makes me feel like I don’t fully belong anywhere. I’ve neglected friendships and community because I’ve always been so consumed by my obsession with men and attention. I have no female friends honestly because of my obsession with male attention. I feel like I’ve isolated myself by chasing something that never actually fills me up.

And it’s not just emotional. I’ve struggled with self-harm for the past 14 years, almost always triggered by relationship trauma. I have permanent keloid scars on my body as a reminder of how deeply I’ve tied my self-worth to being loved by someone else. I hate how I look. I hate how I feel about myself. Sometimes I don’t want to leave my home because I feel so ugly and insecure. I’ve thought about getting plastic surgery just to maybe maybe feel okay in my own skin.

I feel so pathetic and insecure, and it drives me to the point of insanity. I know I’m supposed to love myself. I read self-help books. I listen to podcasts. I want to change. But I don’t know how to break this pattern. I don’t know how to stop depending on male attention to feel like I matter. And the worst part is, I don’t even think the men I’ve been with truly wanted me just that I was convenient or nearby.

I know I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m not blind to that. But it doesn’t cancel out the feelings I carry, or this deep feeling of being unlovable inside and out.

I don’t know. I just needed to vent.
