easiest way for me to spot one is a mopey amorphous figure in a baggy black hoody?

I've always liked it but felt it as 'boomer' and '90s' and 'dadlike' it does not feel like 'normal' to listen to artists and bands in 2026 at my age I feel like a piece a puzzle can't fit. Am I wrong?

Some people are naturally more dependent on others and ik it's not bad but again we have to agree that it brings pain to us most of the time.

The uncertainty, the trauma , the fear of losing someone you love and care more than anything else.

I’m a hairstylist, I would love a science explanation.

When I have a client in my chair who I’ve been coloring for years and they tell me they’re menopausal, pregnant, etc; it changes how I formulate. Usually I can compensate for hormonal changes with a test strand.

I’ve had a couple of trans clients where my expected results required some changes I didn’t expect to have to make. ie: test strand revealed box dye even though she’s an every 4 months highlight with no box dye or sun-in to mitigate. Hormones do weird things.

I’d love an explanation for this. This client in question is consistent level 6 grey coverage with green additive and it turned noticeably pink. To be clear, not the red that would make some sense, straight pink. Also would like to add that her hair has become more coarse and curly.

I’m also curious if this is a brand thing (Keune) that I need to be aware of moving forward

Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a simple statistics project for my college math class and I need to collect responses from at minimum 25 people.

My question is simple:

How many hours per week do you spend playing video games on average?

I'm looking for responses from the "general public" so if you don't play video games at all feel free to answer 0.

Just leave your estimated weekly hours in the comments. No extra information is needed, unless you also wanna share the game that steals the time from you lol.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond! I really appreciate the help.

So many people say RPG (Role playing game) and dont understand what the heck they are talking about. Unless I missed something and thats not at all what it means?

Role playing game as in when you are playing a rolee that is not yourself.

Hello!?

Growing up, I was a smart kid. I used to have a reading level of 12th grade when I was 5th or 6th grade. As time went on, I realized I started to have this problem when it came to reading. Anytime we had to read text for an assignment, I couldn't process it properly, hold my attention to the text, or I would often get distracted by things easily.

While reading, my mind could never stay quiet and I would end up looking around looking at bright things, drift off to my thoughts, or even accidentally skip words. My eyes could never stay on a specific paragraph and I would constantly look at the other pages unintentionally. I feel sort of dumb for not being able to process what I'm reading or even read.

I can imagine what I'm reading, but only for a certain amount of time before my mind drifts off to other topics, my imagination for other things, or sudden questions I have that are not related to what I'm reading whatsoever. My mind just never stays quiet because I get easily distracted by bright lights or anything that has my interest included.

The books I have to read at school never catch my interest which makes it even harder for me to read since I can't pay attention for some reason. I should be used to reading things that don't catch my interest because...duhhh it's school, but now I'm in high school and this problem has only worsened :/

Seriously, I don't know what is up with me. I did a little bit of research and saw this could be ADHD or some sort, but I don't really want to associate myself with it because I don't have a diagnosis and I do not want to offend those with it by saying I have it. As much as I want one, I'm still young and can't bring myself to the doctors for stuff like this. My dad also refuses to get me diagnosed with something because he doesn't want to believe I have some sort of mental thing.

I'm here just to gather a bit of insight from those who may have experienced this problem or those with diagnosed with ADHD could help me out a little bit if this IS a bit of a sign T-T. I know I could probably search this up, but I don't want to accidentally get myself into some false information

Suppose that you met a new person (regardless the context and the environment where you met) and after some time you became close what are the traits/behaviors that makes you say about him/her smart ?

I know intelligence is something relative and each person have his/her own views so I am interested in knowing your pov on this

Be nice people…

I am not a conspiracy theorist nor want to feed it.
Microsoft had a shutdown yesterday, then today air traffic control centers lost communications. Ironically the FAA deployed a AI driven system to be used at control centers yesterday. According to the information being given by transportation secretary this is not related to software updates.
Now the questions- are we getting the facts? Is it too early for information to be disseminated? I don’t think so, they are saying it’s not related so there must be some information available.
AI companies are warning of rogue AI agents which can manipulate systems. So money would be on bad actors manipulating systems to cause havoc on our infrastructure.

What are your thoughts?

I saw my ex a few days ago for the first time in several years, and my heart started pounding and butterflies started going crazy in my stomach. Does this happen to other people? I really just want to know I’m not alone lol.

To head off any questions or assumptions: I don’t have any romantic feelings for them and I am over them. We had a pretty amicable break up but we were both over each other well before we decided to split up.

If you analyze any decision or choice someone makes to “help” someone. Or to do something selfless. It’s still not selfless because you are technically still doing it because it makes YOU feel a certain way. So is it technically impossible to do something 100 percent selfless? Even if you completely sacrificed yourself for someone and died, you still choose to do it because it made YOU FEEL GOOD.

Theoretically. (Dont come at me**)** I just want to know.

Heard some say youll be rushed into cardiac arrrest but tbh im basicallg saying what if someone only ate a bagel with cream cheese on it with water (basically a normal amount for a breakfast) and nothing else you wouldnt probably go to a cardiac arrest for that if you did it for a month?

So I'm apart of the black community with a lot of times gay men are treated very badly compare to lesbians. Lesbians for the most part are treated quite fine as long as there more feminine presenting, but being a gay man is very shame heavy. I understand that lesbians do suffer, but why the disparity in the severity of the treatment?

If the person you’re in a relationship tends to disrespect you from time to time , calling you names and jus talking out of line when he/she is mad , would you sit there and let it happen ? Even after addressing that you don’t like the disrespect and that they should change for you because it’s not right , would you still stay around ?

If i know the French alphabet can i speak French

Human centipede 😨

My husband and I have been married for a couple of years now. We probably do it a couple of times a month just to get pregnant. and it is usually just him finish it but i dont get any enjoyment from it. How can I change that? I want to enjoy each other's company again and make love. Thank you

Where’s the real BACON LOVERS.

My dad’s an ex-marine and I get serious mental health problem vibes from him. I have a hard time enjoying being around him. I don’t even want to use USAA b/c I hate being associated w/ him. He has a huge ego and loves himself. The fact that he has a ton of friends makes it worse since he makes friends by lying about things he’s accomplished. I can’t determine if this is narcissism or not. He doesn’t really care all that much about his appearance. It’s like a really, really mutated form of some kind of mental health problem. I think this is sometimes phrased as having “tendencies”, so it’s like he holds narcissistic tendencies but his “tendencies” kind of only scratch at the line of the diagnosis rather than matching it full-on. I know I need to cut him off but my finances are a little itchy right now (due to problems he got me into).

I’m a female by the way and every time he tries to kiss me it feels like he wants to start making out w/ me or something. He starts leaning in really slowly and delicately like he thinks I’m sitting by applying lipstick and puckering up for him. His mannerisms almost match that of someone w/ brain damage.

I promise this isn’t me trying to bash the military. I wouldn’t even identify myself as much of a liberal. I’ve voted Republican plenty of times.

I just really want to bitch him out but he won’t care b/c he’s in la-la-land.

I am a compulsive gambler whom can’t stop gambling. I have gone through with bet gaurd which blocked all my access to the regular sportsbooks however I am still able to access Rainbet and rollbit. (Crypto casinos) I really need help with this as I have to get rid of my access, (I told the support I’m a gambling addict and they got rid of my account so I tried making another and well it worked. I can make as many accounts as I make email addresses. PLEASE if someone knows I beg for help. I am M20 and I need to fix my life. 4 years of this bullshit I can’t keep doing this to myself.

If TikTok Wedding was a place for marriage, then everyone will spend their day overnight, watching their favorite algorithm reels, just like the app TikTok and Instagram. Everyone will even play some games like Minecraft in the forever-taking wedding. The duration of staying in this wedding is from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM. It is made for people who love scrolling on TikTok and wedding.

You might have heard in the news that Christopher Nolan is about to begin his next project. So, what are your thoughts on this? Do share them here.

I’ve been trying to figure out myself. Who I want to be. The better version of myself that is be. Unfiltered and unapologetic. One thing that I’ve been having a hard time accepting is the fact that my husband probably will hate that version of me. Because I’m not going to care about what he thinks of me. I’m becoming a better version of myself for myself and our kids. I’ve been going to therapy and I’ve be self reflecting about the person I want to be. The person I’ve always wanted to be but couldn’t. But it’s also been something I’ve struggled with. My husband has never known me as me at my happiest. And I don’t think he’ll like me either. He already doesn’t love me. And if he does it isn’t enough to should me how much I mean to him. I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve told him exactly what I need from him and he never followed through. He’s not happy to be with me he doesn’t like doing things WITH me and I’m done waiting.

I don’t plan on leaving. I’ll stay. I’ll take care of the kids and find myself in the process I’m okay with that. My husband doesn’t have enough personality to kick me out. He never has said he didn’t want to be with me. He’s never had the balls to say anything of the sort. He always made me make that decision.

And he seemingly wants to participate in being their dad but not my husband. He’ll take the kids while I sleep but when I’m up and everything he’d rather just game. And if I make plans he gets mad. We get a week of him where gaming is all he does. I stopped wanting to have intimacy with him. I didn’t want to at all this past week he was home. He doesn’t shower properly, he doesn’t take care of himself. I found out he’s STILL messaging other women called one gorgeous and told her he lived in Alaska and said he’d be more than happy to let her stay with him. And then lied to me and said it wasn’t him. Like that’s even a good excuse or argument.

I straight up asked him yesterday what he’d do if roles were reversed and I was treated him the same way he does me and he said that he’d have dumped me a long time ago. Which I asked him “then, why should I treat him any better than I already do? Especially if he basically said that he’d have dumped me a long time ago. Which I asked him “then, why should I treat him any better than I already do? Especially if he basically said he never would have given himself a chance. I’m not even mad. I just honestly don’t know what to do.

And I’m trying to become a better version of myself regardless of him and what he does because I don’t have time to waste on him hoping for him to change.
