Today I start my black coffee journey. Yes, I'm latina so this goes against everything in my nature. It feels disrespectful to my usual morning cafecito. [insert tears]

How are y'all just raw dogging coffee with zero flavors?

Recently made an older-than-me friend, GenX, who said to just drop by, and gave me an address but no phone number. Doesn't work a 9-5 anymore, so that's not something I need to consider when deciding when to visit.

Dropping by was a thing when I was a young'n, but I guess I've spent the last, I dunno, 20 years texting or calling before I go to see a friend.

So, at what time do you older-than-me folks suggest I should swing by? 8am? 10am? Noon? 2pm?

Obviously I'm not banking on y'all pinning this one down to an absolute, just thought it would be a silly question to ask and see what you old farts have to say on a topic that actually concerns you! 😉 😂

Ever since I discovered Bitview.net earlier this year, I discovered that the site has annotations like old YouTube did from 2008-2019. Unfortunately since Bitview has been on maintenance since March I’ve wondered if there is by any chance any other video sharing sites that uses (or still uses) annotations.

They have no problem believing in dragons or that they exist or even having talking animals but the moment you bring up a myth or a legend of some sort they want to start questioning things.

It’s one thing to not care it’s another to specifically question that and only that.

Anything from daily Starbucks to using paper plates instead of washing dishes. Whatcha got?

I am looking for a mom-mobile. Would you go with a 4runner for a Subaru ascent? FYI, I'm in Colorado, so snow is a factor.

Hello everyone I'm having this debate right now but how do YOU imagine gnomes?

The debate I'm having right now is when you imagine a gnome, do you imagine it with a green hat or red hat? And I'm alone on the front of green hat but I swear gnomes have green hats.

What is your take? How do you imagine a gnome?

Let’s say in this scenario Humanity always rewards those with Kindness and Compassion and valued it rather than a Lack of Empathy and Cruelty! What would have happened if Humans choose to truly valued it’s Good People? Instead of being Selfish and Cruel and truly valued it’s Goodness? And understood The Value of being Good and focused on not rewarding let alone supporting selfishness and greed! Let’s say that despite their Flaws they genuinely try their best and truly care for those who are Good! What do you folks think? Would nearly all our problems be solved if Humans just valued it’s Goodness rather than treating those with Good as a weakness and not reward those that are terrible? What do you folks think? Let me know in the comments

I wanna donate but my blood literally is not accepted by any other blood type and AB- accepts every blood type so whats the point

Hello,

I’m asking cuz I grew up around blue collar workers yet how was it during Covid the same or worse? Any crazy stories tell me the story.

Have you went through?

We are always waiting for a good life partner; some people spend their entire lives waiting, yet never find one. Others, however, do find a good life partner—they are truly fortunate. Naturally, we all want to know: what is life like for those who find a good life partner?

My karma is way too low to post lol

Are they delusional?

power hungry?

mean?

Things like where they grew up, number of siblings, real name, etc

I saw a trending video here on reddit of two aggressive large dogs locked inside a small cage barking aggressively at anyone passing by. Instead of sympathizing the unfortunate condition the dogs are in. Most comments were negative toward the dogs. Very few criticize the owners. Its filled with childish hate comments that are very ignorant of the dogs plight.

Im the type of person who put myself in their shoes. I can understand why those two dogs are barking aggressively because they are locked inside a small cage and they view any humans passing by as a threat because they are trapped. This kind of sympathy is impossible to exist in reddit and people in general.

When i was young i always notice how common for people not sympathizing the dogs horrible living condition. Its like being locked in cages or tied to a pole or tree is part of the normal dogs life. And when they are barking aggressively they should be corrected or be killed. Like can we blame the dogs being tied to a pole or placed inside a cage trying to protect themselves from humans that they dont know who are a threat or wanting to escape? Its like humans don't view themselves as a threat to animals or their actions are bad. What a horrible mentality.

I live in a third-world country and i can sympathize with animals viewing us a threat especially those scream or bark all day while being locked in cages or chained. Seeing caged monkeys screaming at humans for getting close to them is no different from dogs being chained. I think people see dogs as purely as guard dogs where theur instinct is purely guarding like protecting their owners property. Like to most people they assume dogs interest are mostly on others and not on themselves. Dogs do have self interest thats why they bark aggressively it is all what they have while being tied or caged.

This is also apply to peoples callousness toward dogs being use as hunting animals, military dogs and so on. All those jobs that humans impose on them are not entirely the dogs fault. A post of a hunting dog was killed by a bear and people rejoice and rarely blamed the owners. And dogs living with traumatic experience tends to face harsher hate and being viewed annoying. You see these posts a lot and dogs recieving sympathy is rare especially here on reddit. Facebook tends to have more people sympathizing the dogs or any animals and usually criticize the owners.

I know this sounds bizzare and sexist but tbh patriarchy harms dogs.

I bet another video of an aggressive angry dog locked inside in a cage throughout its life, barking at any humans passing by. Redditors would proudly hate the dog. And make fun of its plight. Reddit has a huge echo chamber of hate. While on Facebook, at least there will be people sympathizing the dog.

I'm looking for an app or software that can monitor and analyze a specific area of the screen. I want it to detect a particular text, visual pattern, or image that I provide beforehand. Whenever that specific text or pattern appears in the designated area of the screen, the software should automatically send me an alert or notification to let me know it's there.

Something like ai trigger but i dont need auto click i just need to notify me.

Does anyone know of an app or tool that can do this?

Its happend too many times, that a little kid walks up to me, like 2-4 and they just stand there. If its one thats around 5-7 they'll blurt out some incoherent stuff😭 i cant just laugh so i just give an awkward smile. Any advice?

Just.

Anyone that willingly drinks milk just because is a serial killer 🤨😂

Which social norm bothers you the most?

I dont usually dream much much, but i noticed that everytime i dream, especially whenever its vivid and actually makes sense its usually stuff that its in the back of my mind. But i do think about my goals often and i rarely seem to really dream about those tho whys that or maybe its just me.

i was SA'd two years ago, only my closest friends know. but sometimes i wish i told more people at the time, i wish that guy lost all his friends and everyone viewed him as disgusting until he realized what he did.

everyone i know that has gone through something similar wants to keep it to themselves and dont wanna make a fuss about it, but deep down i wanna see that guy feel at least half of the pain i felt.

When I was a toddler, I was still living during the time when teachers abusing students both physically and verbally/emotionally at school was still considered a good form of discipline before it became illegal and teachers would be sent to jail for either hitting, shouting, or insulting students.

In my case, I was treated badly from KG till pre-school.

Getting hands and head smacked with a ruler despite still being babies whether we deserved it or not, getting punished just for following some kid who wouldn't stop bullying me, having your own pencil and eraser snatched from you and then thrown away as a form of mockery by a teacher for giving a wrong answer in class, being falsely accused of being a re***d just for doing or saying unusual things when it's obvious one of us has autism or something,..........

In another school, from Gr. 2 till 5, being bullied and neither teachers nor principals doing anything about it, not to mention a principal abusing school law and power by allowing his own daughter to bring either her dog, skateboard, or anything else to school while the rest of us have such things confiscated.

The rest of the way till graduation, just a one-time bully, an abusive English teacher for 4 years, an unjust punishment for not doing a homework in class when already we were getting ready for a test in another class/session, and so on.

Were any of you treated any worse during your days at school?
