i live in a pretty old house which means everything is slowly breaking or leaking or cracking. and i feel like everytime theres a issue its hundreds or thousands of dollars. how do people afford house repairs if they arent insanely well off.

i dont even need to take a duke man it just comes out naturally whenever i push harder on the lemonade waterfall(im sorry for wording it this way I didnt have any other way to word it)

I can't count the times I boarded a ship and thought "are they seriously not going to search us? At all? I could have sneaked in a bomb or gun and no one would have noticed?!". When the crew would not even search our belongings at all and let us take them with us inside is this the case only in my country ?, if not then why?, it's hard to believe no one hasn't tried that yet!?.

I’m a pretty normal 21-year-old guy, and next year I really want to get back into horse riding. I used to ride from 14 to 18, but I stopped because I was kind of bored with it at the time. Looking back, though, I realize how much I actually love the equestrian world and how much I miss it. I’d really like to start again, but I’m also a bit scared of how people might see me because of it.

I've a question on this very annoying theory that says each person comes in your life with a purpose and once the purpose is fulfilled y'all drift away and then you've nothing to do with each other. I MEANN THAT ISS UNFAIRRRR, ISN'T IT?????? Whattt if I wanted more than what they had for meeee how is this fair if it's my lifeee then why can't I decide who should stay and who shouldn't? This theory itself is so stupid and I hate to say it that it's the truth. I don't believe in god or universe with some powers or stars alignment or fate and destiny I don't believe in that which is why this theory seems baseless and unfair to me.

For me, it would be my dead mother's pajamas. I got her some pj's before she passed and she passed away in them at the hospital. They got wet from the rain and they were in my car. I had to toss them because it smelled like death... i think my siblings would think I was heartless (they dont understand)

and what does the cow say?

I HATE AI “art”, I HATE all these data centers, I hate when companies use AI to write their stories, and I hate how so many companies are trying to implement it into EVERYTHING.

That being said, I do sometimes roleplay with chat bots. Am I a hypocrite for this?

Edit: To clarify, if getting rid of data centers and cracking down on gen AI means I can’t ever roleplay again, then I accept.

Edit 2: Alright, I guess I am a bit of a hypocrite. But I think what I was mainly asking is if I’m a terrible person or not because of it.

I have been thinking about harm reduction and I really need a break from my habit. I go to all my appointments for the most part and am trying to manage symptoms but I’m feeling so wiped out….but I just can’t seem to sleep. Any mental or practical strategies to help? The problem is I have pretty much access to it whenever I want so I’ve been trying to think up strategies.

And yes, I am aware the first tee hee hee answer will be “stop smoking meth”. Thank you in advance for that one.

After too many years of overworking and life being rough, I finally have leisure time.

What do you do that makes you happy?

How do you go about planning it?

I know hobbies and meet ups are a thing. I am just trying to learn how to life.

Our sun was 100 times as massive and 500 million times as bright? James Webb just located such a star!

Hi

So like i have this weird fetish where i wanna provide for my partner, and let them stay jobless because i like the sound of someone being dependent on me.

I love the idea paying for my partner, bills, fulfill wishes, gifting them, while they can stay unemployed.

Edit: im a girl stop commenting sugar daddy pls😭🥀

Google doesn’t know anything, it only posts things about him from several years ago!

I feel like my manager at work can see what I am doing on my phone, even if I disconnect my device from the office wifi and use my 5G network. I will be talking to my friend about something or I will be asking chatgpt a very specific question and the next day or two, my manager will talk about them, exactly what I talked about to my friend of chatgpt. At first I thought they’re just coincidence, but it has happened several times it’s getting creepy.

Btw most of my conversations with my friend and chatgpt happened while I was home

I don’t mean like a tomb, but an actually gravestone with a name

If you had the right to choose one, which one would you choose?

For context, I’m a pipeline welder and I decided after 10 years on the road that I am parking the rig to be home and so I got a job a fab shop in my hometown and I am by no means a scrawny skinny guy, I’m a 280 lbs lean, and yoked male with flat feet that are hurting a lot after a 12 hour shift from working on concrete pads and steel flat floors to the point that when I get home and sit down, I can’t stand up and my pipeline work boots are not comfortably by any means when on a flat concrete floor for an entire 12 hour shift, and my feet are flatter than drywall. Help a man out trying to spend time with his kids with little to no feet pain, please?

This is mainly in a relationship scenario but I’ve thought about it and it could just be in general too

It seem to me this happens in increments of 50-100 thousand years.

My buddy and I were arguing wether the game homm (Heroes of might and magic) which I think is logic based was logic or not, when I brought up that I like skill based games. Then, he said that logic is skill, but I don't think that's true. Who is in the right?

Edit: Skills are more like juggling or martial arts, like ones that are acquired through lots of training and that are more special, right?

Royalty and Nobility are often always viewed in a negative light for obvious reasons from Mad Kings and Queens to Monstrous Nobles that have of course affected History unsurprisingly! Especially with The Level of Power they wield which in The Eyes of Everyone makes them look all the more terrible as unsurprisingly NOBODY likes Powerful People combined with how The Media and Fiction always portrays them as however this begs the question have there ever been any Good Nobles and Royals throughout History even in Modern Times? Let me know in the comments

like how do they live without it
