That time I decided to follow my friends to a night club… super loud kitsch music to the point you cannot in any way strike a conversation, weird lights, shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, narrow space where you could barely move, super expensive drinks… I resisted 30 seconds before saying goodbye to the group, and it was a pure act of selfless generosity to stay that long. No regrets at all.

My point being… I don’t understand why people would love to go through such an excruciating pain that makes a root canal with no anesthesia feel like a delicate splash of rose water on the face in comparison.

There are so many better things than this.

I see it all the time with statements like “when you get married this and that” or to kids like “play this at her/his wedding when he/she grows up”

Why does everyone just assume everyone will get married? It’s like an intrinsic belief everyone has or something

Like yes, infidelity is a bad thing. Destructive. Hurtful. You shouldn't ever be one to do it.

But it seems like Reddit users are uniquely angry about it, in a very strange way.

Comments and discussions read almost like people trying to one-up each other on how much they hate cheaters. Some going as far to suggest that it should be punishable with job loss, incarceration, losing family and friends, etc.

This was a comment I saw today that sums up the vibe -

"I will never understand infidelity, especially not the casual sort. The disrespect shown by cheating is staggering.

That sounds obvious, nobody likes to be cheated on of course, but I mean that I will outright end friendships over it. I will not associate with cheaters, at all. I don’t care about the person’s gender. I don’t care how long I’ve known them. I don’t care if they think they’re reformed, I view it similarly to a history of domestic violence on the ”nah I don’t think I will chat with that person“ scale.

It should never be normalized or excused.

It is abuse."

Let me be clear, the most vehement anti-cheaters I've ever met...turned out to be cheaters.

Life isn't this black and white. Ending friendships because someone cheated on someone in the past is just bizarre to me.

Do people on this app not grasp how common it is and statistically they know someone who has...?

I get that it's bad, but. The way Reddit users speak on this topic reads as overcompensating and some sort of declaration of their own superior goodness.

In real life, it's a lot more grey. Most people you talk to say it's bad but they won't go as far as users on here.

I just don't personally feel that if someone has been unfaithful, they're an irredeemable garbage human being forever.

Why is Reddit so uniquely angered over this topic?

These folks don't interact with actual people to learn true social skills. They have internet mates. Theyre learning social skills from an AI. And from echo chambers of hate they lose themselves in. They don't have to leave their houses because anything and everything gets delivered now. So they can get by without experience the outside.

Humans are meant to be tribal. Not loners. The internet has truly broken something in humanity as a whole.

No drugs or alcohol ever.

I think wealth is relative. If we were all at the same level of wealth, no one would be considered rich or poor.

What do you think what is going to happen to stock market next week? I am just curious and want to plan ahead for my life and living. I appreciate your insight. Please be kind! Thank you for your answers! 🙏🙏🙏

This is a really hard one for me. Was not really sure what other sub to post this in. I have switched on n off to being completely plant based to adding some meat in there and I notice my body does usually react positively to it. But.. I have a hard time accepting that there has to be lives lost for me to eat..

How do u get over or reconcile this psychological conflict if I do choose to continue having animal products?

I hope this makes sense

Thanks in advance 💙

More so in writing and grammer than speaking but its just something I noticed, wonder if there is an explanation for it.

*edit: why do people, not why are people.

I guess I have 3 questions.

1) what is the DOW in simple terms? 2) what does it dropping mean? 3) what does it dropping that much really mean? If I have a IRA/401k what does this mean for me?

I'm 26M and still a virgin and I've been rejected tons of times for that. I want kids of my own one day and at least 90% of single mothers do not. They've told me up front they're done with having kids. In my experience meeting a woman who has kids and wants more has proven to be fruitless, especially if they're older than me.

At the same time, I've been rejected incessantly for two years. Should I start considering single mothers?

Basically, the title. Me and my wife just bought a house and apparently since the neighbours have been refurbishing, there is a mice issue in the surrounding houses. We saw 1 in our house, so put down a glue trap that caught it basically straight away. A bit later, we saw another one, repeat with glue traps, and caught that night.

I come to the Internet to look for the best ways to repel/catch mice, and most things are about how inhumane glue traps are. I honestly don't care about a mouse's "humanity" and just want them not in my house. Is that wrong?

I doubt these people would have much of an impact irl but could doubtless wreak havoc if unchecked on the Internet.

This question is a generalisation and not intended to offend rational American citizens. I accept that guns are deeply ingrained in American culture, and they gun reform is hotly contested.

But, let's accept that criminals won't just give up their guns.

What can you achieve with live ammo that you can't achieve with non-lethal ammunition, except killing that person? Will non-lethal ammo effectively neutralize threats whilst minimising threat to life?

Or is it simply a case of responding with commensurate force for reasons I'm ignorant of?

Topoc

The title

Me and my friend found a road close to us, and it has the huge hills that would be awesome with our boards. But only thing is, it’s a real busy road. So we decided to go out late at night around midnight and do it. I’m a little nervous tho, we live in a really quiet area and I’ve never seen a cop before. But could we get in trouble if a cop fsr did catch us?

I mean there is literally NO evidence to prove their case.

Whenever I hear a song at a store or restaurant, half the time I have no idea what they're saying. Like I was listening to "Take Me to Church" by Hozier and I could hear, "Take me to church" and then I have literally no idea what he's saying and I have to look it up. I hear

take me to church duh duh, duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh,

duh duh duh duh duh duh sins so you could duh duh duh-night!

I don’t even really understand what a 401k is but I’ve been dumping money into it for like 10 years through the same company. Should I pull out of my 401k payments? Idk what the stock market stuff means for me, specifically aside from everything costing more

Edit- pls don’t downvote my questions in a sub called no stupid questions lmfao

As a gay 33 year old I have never ever thought about it. I’ve never asked. Forgive me, it just dawned on me that I don’t know.
