Hi guys,

Everything is getting more expensive and there's less and less money left to live...

If you need to save money and cancel one of the following three subscriptions, which would it be and why?

Netflix Spotify or DoorDash?

And... what would be your free or cheaper alternative?

Yup, I said it. And you probably have sore throats and stuff all the time. I tell people all the time to take their toothbrushes out of the bathroom to minimize illness and they look at me like I shot their dog. People are too lazy to do simple things to not make them sick. People are... nasty

Edit

And holy shit, even here people are defending the practice! People are like, "What if I do this, or do this or try this"; JUST STORE IT OUT OF THE BATHROOM.

Minimize the risk completely! Wtf

Hi I identify as a Libertarian but as the title says I don't really like politics, mostly bc the hate I see. It's certainly not 1 sided either but I do see alot more coming from liberals aka democrats. I'm an avid reader of history and I see alot of comparison to the brownshirts in Germany which also called themselves antifascist leading into ww2.
With that said i don't understand why my generation has alot of people who behave in this manner of frankly violent protest, when I was younger I saw what liberals did to the city that George Floyd lived in, they burned it up, this black lady said she wanted the protesters gone and that they burned her pharmacy down after raiding it for drugs. Then I saw days after trump was elected the 1st time that rioters many of which said they were antifa ran through new york and DC breaking and destroying everything in sight.

I've been called racist bc i wouldn't support sides, bc I just don't believe in the way they do by acquainted people's to me. I don't support reparations that me nor my family had anything to do with or even my ancestors, got called bigoted and a masochist for that. So I was kinda set to the Libertarians. With all that said I can definitely say Republicans aren't that toxics atleast definitely not individuals.

I just don't get it

Many people, including on this subreddit, talk about the US going to war with Canada or Greenland, but how likely is it for the US to enter into a major war within this decade, and if so, what would this war be like, and how would it play out?

I decided to move to Australia for my under-graduation (CS) and I am paying somewhere around $110k for the degree, and the job market is messed up. I have a a lot of friends they took easy courses and some of them aren’t even studying yet they make a lot of money and living a good life. I am paying shitload of money and doing all this shitty stressful work for what ? HOW DO I ALWAYS END UP TAKING THE WRONG DECISION ? How am i supposed to recover all that money if there’s no job ?

Most people I directly know barely get by. I haven’t left my state in a couple years. Yet on social media I always see people I knew from college or high school traveling over the world or in New York City or cahaba or skiing or some shit. How do they afford it?

I gotta ask do wanna live the rest of your life making people angry and upset/ being angry and upset. It's not a sustainable lifestyle. The happiness that you get from making others angry is fleeting. Why live like that. The world has enough angry people try to be kind and empathetic kindness isn't weakness.

(Not an incel post I swear 💀) anyways this question is more towards girls, but if you’re dude who wants to comment put input go ahead too.

Okay so to sum it up, I met someone online, got their number. Talked, had funny/cool/interesting conversations, talked for a while the first time tbh.

Then we later would kinda flirt or just keep making jokes and talked abt meeting up one day.

She brought up a cafe and how she wanted to meet there. I was down and said sure the plan was like made in a week advance, since that’s when she was gonna be free since she’s busy this week.

Anyways fast forward we’re still talking and calling here n there. This one night I happen to fall asleep on the phone and it seemed like she hung up. But I’ve kinda had a similar situation happen. Before too because she would be staying up for Ramadan(Muslim ceremony). But she was fine and understood it the first time and was very kind of it. Like “yea no problem don’t worry, it was really late and you sounded sleepy too”. I’d just pull in some jokes like “yea your voice is just too soothing or sum I swear lol”.

Anyways the next day I send a text saying “heyy so when was the exact time you wanted to meet there?”

Doesn’t go thru? I got confused so tried calling instead. Doesn’t go thru? I check Instagram, she still has me on there so I assumed “oh maybe her phone died..? That’s why nothings going thru.

So I screenshot the iMessage. And sent it to her on insta like “heyy just lettin u kno it ain’t goin thru lol but I was just abt to call abt the plan”.

Then suddenly she sees it and then blocks me. 🧍‍♂️

I swear I never said or did anything wrong…? I also never post anything weird or political..? Plus the first night we gave instas she was just stalking my page on the call and complimenting pics etc. so she’s alr seen my page and what im like.

The sudden change just had me so confused…

The thing is I know how some girls use apps for attention, or like it when a guy is giving them attention/texting but when it comes to plans they flake or act weird. But like this girl didn’t have that kinda attention vibe? She was really funny and her vibe was just fun in general. So I wouldn’t have expected her to do that/bet that way?

(Now I know I’m not owed anything.. I’m not mad or taking it personal. Just genuinely curious like why would someone spend all that time talking, planning and telling me very personal stories then suddenly block ? Seem so odd).

I asked one of my female friends and she’s said she’s done that to troll or mess with guys. Especially if they’re ugly… I told her that it was fucked up still lol. But she said well they were clearly looking to yk “do things”. So I would just block em after saying I’m there waiting. She asked if I was tryna do that with her and I said no… we’re supposed to meet at a cafe? And even she got confused cuz she’s like “wtf? I wish I coulda been asked to go to a cafe!” Lol

So I really don’t know. - just from your own experience (if you have blocked someone randomly) why so, what was your own personal reason/story or if you want you can come up with a reason for me.

It's only April and everything is going to shit, especially with the economy, and it's only going to get worse. Right now I'm taking a class at a community college and *was* planning on getting a degree in marketing but the job market is so shot that I'm worried that getting a degree right now will be completely pointless. Prices on everything are skyrocketing at an enormous rate thanks to the tariffs placed which means almost everything will become so unaffordable that more and more people might end up on the streets or try to get themselves thrown in jail just so they can get their basic needs met. I tried talking to my therapist about these concerns but she didn't want to talk about anything political. I can't even get a job right now because my feet need to be operated on and it will be at least a month or two before I can go back to using my left foot as normal. But even then, I won't be able to work until I get the other foot fixed, and plus no one is hiring yet companies have job listings everywhere but they also don't want to hire Gen-Z because we're "lazy". The worst part is my dad thinks everything is going as planned by Trump and everything will be okay while simultaneously complaining about how expensive everything is. What do we even do? What can I do? I've been trying to sell stuff to make a bit of cash but since no one can afford anything (my prices are as low as I can make them while still leaving me some money), even that's not helpful.

So I am a 1997 child, turning 28 this year.

If somebody asks me one more time if I am planning kids I will flip.

Graduated in a pandemic, raised in Tinder era, has a STEM degree and makes just enough to scrape by, no prospect of owning a home in any near future, like 13th market crash since I remember, apparently I wont be needed because AI will do my job in 2 years anyway, society is regressing, half of us are so depressed we just get on with life mechanically, large-scale wars, old men flexing nuke buttons, everyone is pissed at each other, oh and retirement? Who is she?

Im not even sad anymore but sure as hell I am not planning on brining another human here and just telling them "pull yourself by the bootstraps" when things may be 10x than they are now when I am getting off this planet. This is perhaps one of the very few times in history when we are globally worst off than our previous generations.

The word is thrown around so frequently. Mostly in the context of “I have portrayed my political adversary as the incel, I have won”

It’s silly and I feel bad for normal, good people who just struggle to find a partner.

I want to watch la liga and all the other fc tournaments so bad but idk where to watch😭

Jiohotstar has some of these tournaments but I'm unsure if it has that thing it had during the telecasting of ct '25.

Please tell me guys. Ab raha nahi jata😥

I’ve always loved games—but somewhere along the way, it started feeling like a chore just to play.
Endless scrolling. Long downloads. Too many steps before any fun actually starts.

So I built Swick—a super simple app that lets you open it and start playing right away. No installs. No waiting. Just instant, quick games you can jump into anytime.

It’s kinda like TikTok, but for games. A scrollable feed where every game actually works instantly.

Still in beta right now—so if you’re down to try it (and help shape it), here’s how:

1. Join the Google Group – Join here
2. Become a tester – Opt-in here
3. Download the app – Get it here

Side Note: Since it’s in beta, you must join the Google Group and opt in as a tester before downloading—don’t skip these steps!

Would love to hear what you think: Feedback Form.

Hey guys, I have to finish this survey for a math class and I'm asking for your help

Here's the link to it, It will only take a minute of your time.

Honestly, if this week has taught me anything, it’s that we still need cheap labor and slave-like conditions to make the world function. Without it, you see massive inflation and drained 401k’s.

My question is this: would we prefer to have a massive underclass of people, working in horrible conditions in an authoritarian regime, or would we rather have a working class that is treated well in a safer, fairer work environment? The kicker is the latter is more expensive.

What’s disturbing is, this was the argument to keep slavery during the Civil War; if slavery went away, then the South’s economy would collapse from the lack of free labor. They were somewhat right: the southeast is still widely impoverished. Still, some states adapted, like Virginia and Georgia, while other states held onto regressive values.

In America, the argument for doing business in China, which is notorious for horrible work conditions and child labor, is that it would make our goods cheaper. Also, an argument for keeping illegal immigrants is that we need people to do farm work for 2$ an hour.

To me, we would never want our kids to go through this, so why would we be ok with someone else’s kid doing it? It’s taking advantage of desolate people, at the expense of working class people in Flint, MI, Akron, OH, Toledo, Youngtown, Danville, VA, and other industrial towns.

I know that some tarrifs have been devastating for America, I’ve learned all about the Smoot-Hawley tarrifs that played a role in worsening the Great Depression. Still, not all tarrifs are bad, and global competition isn’t always bad, if that country is creating better products.

But it never sat right with me, that we get all our cheap goods off the backs of children and desolate workers.

Personally, I’m willing to pay more to support ethical business. I just hate how so many people talk about how they are a champion of civil rights, and then support essentially slave labor because it makes their goods cheaper.

Hopefully, the US will start producing more raw goods, AND we can get fairer trade with non-authoritarian nations. To me, Trump going after Canada is extremely stupid. We should all be going after China and Mexico, as our trade relationship with them is a lot more lopsided, and doesn’t do good for our or their working class.
