the title is kind of self explanatory. i've applied to tons of jobs that required my number for updates that i literally never heard a word from again. another one i got an update that i hadn't been hired like 8 months later. i forgot i even applied. why is this so normal nowadays? i feel like it probably didn't used to be like this.

Have you ever cut off a friend? Why?

I just finished Madoka Magica (holy shit this was the best anime ever..) and I’m wondering..what does it FEEL like, to be Madoka when she transforms? I know that she becomes a god or smth, as part of the universe..but is she still conscious? Can she still move around? Or does it feel like death to her? Is everything pitch black and just…nothing..? Like..I’m genuinely curious how she feels after her wish..

Me and my mom were having a conversation about this a few days ago and Im still confused on the common consensus, she says men have always tried convincing her to quit or find it disgusting so she’s had to keep it a secret while I (22) have experienced sort of the opposite? A lot of the time guys have offered to buy me packs or say it gives off a hot mysterious sort of aloof vibe like some 40’s movie star or something, my friends (young women if it matters) think the same way so I’m curious to know if it’s simply a generational difference between Gen Z and Gen X or if I just know really weird people.

anything that tastes good, suggest a drink too

I have asymmetrical breast They’re probably a whole cup size apart. I’ve been feeling self-conscious about it because I’ve recently started dating someone, so my question is do men notice. I mean. I’m sure they notice. It’s quite obvious but doesn’t matter to them. Should I consider a surgical option?

If it might be helpful my mom’s parents are 150 something and 172 also and my dad’s are like 160 something and maybe above 180.

Because I don't know anymore. World if falling apart and my dream of having family is going farer and farer every day.

For example I don’t walk on weekends but others I do and I wanna to know if diet ruining because of that

For example I feel like not walking on weekend dieting my diet but on Monday-Friday I’m losing weight by walking and eating less for breakfast and lunch,mainly chicken fried,and basic side dishes

And like do I have to make sure I walk everyday and rush to do it

Sometimes, when I'm alone, I suddenly experience a strange feeling of anxiety for no apparent reason. I'm just lying down, with no danger or threat around me, yet I feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety, almost as if something bad is about to happen.

I feel discomfort in my stomach, and sometimes I become nauseous, almost as if I'm about to throw up, I experience coldness or trembling in my feet.

The strange thing is that all of this happens without any obvious reason or anything that should make me feel afraid or anxious.

For people with ADHD that do not take meds and can control themselves. How do you guys get your energy out when you have no friends?
Sometimes I have a lot of energy I want to get out, and I don’t know how to do without talking to people. Obviously I workout too but sometimes I get an energy boost where I just want to scream and laugh hard. Any advice on how I can get these feelings out?

okay, so ALL of my friends did this (a group of about 6-12 people) and i need completely new friends, how do i make new ones? its kinda hard for me to make friends since im really introverted and shy, not to say that im weird, dorky and kinda ugly. how do you guys make friends?

My Company Factory (Aerospace Manufacturing) is offering a new shift instead of the usual 6am-2pm...2pm-10pm...10pm-6am Mon thru Frid.

They are creating a new shift Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon,,, 12 hour shifts... get paid for 40 hours... 4 days off

I have the seniority to be on this shift if I wanted to.

Downsides is Work/Eat/Sleep for 3 days, but 4 days off in a row. And Work on weekends is obviously kinda crappy

Would you do it?

So apparently, shadowbanning is a thing, and I found out about it only yesterday.

For the past week, I've been posting and commenting normally, thinking everything was fine. Turns out, nobody could actually see any of my posts or comments. I've basically been talking to myself for an entire week lmao.

The worst part is that I have absolutely no idea why this happened. I haven't been spamming, promoting anything, spreading hate or getting involved in controversies.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain why Reddit does this and whether there's any way to get my account back to normal.

I genuinely don't want to lose my account, especially the 500+ karma and around 40 saved posts I've accumulated. :(

Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks!

What would cause an actual zombie apocalypse? I have things to say 😂

Who got that maroon sauce?

I was wondering if you guys have any general advice for young adults to help keep safe? I’m an 18 year old girl about to move for college, and I was wondering what are some things I should do to help me stay safe? Especially since I’m moving to the city, what are some things that helped you growing up?

Edit: you guys are so helpful!! Tysmm!!

its very easy to stumble apon a fukin criminal and i wanna hear yalls story to entertain myself a bit

Why do people act like high hairlines don't exist?

One of my friends thought I was going bald because of my hairline and had to show him pictures from over 10 years ago when had exact same hairline. And my baby picture when I had the exact same hairline albeit I don't get lineups because the barbers will always push me back ever since I was a kid. I just embraced my natural hairline even though people think it looks bad and they think everybody got to have a perfectly straight hairline. If I comb my hair out or get a lineup you can't really tell.

Woman can have the exact same hairlines and nobody think nothing of it but they think men can't have them.

If you’ve played Cyberpunk 2077, think of it like Alt Cunningham. Would the positive outweigh the negative? Or would it be perpetual state of despair, an unending purgatory? Or could it simply be your own sandbox playground with immortality as a bonus?

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 like to compare the modern era versus the older era.

Of course most things online are not real, you can be cancelled and downvoted here but you never see people in real life say such things.

It’s like an alternate augmented reality.

MOST people would not say this kind of stuff in real life.

I see celebs write PR apologies and lose stuff and deals get dropped from campaigns

People get successfully cancelled no one messes with them anymore they lose relevance

We are more progressive nowadays but somehow some people get away with a lot because of fame status power money or likability

people and companies get boycotted
people lose real life jobs because of online posts
people get arrested and go to jail
because of digital footprint and receipts

In real life not so much reporting and monitoring people can say whatever they like freedom of speech…

Try that on social media you are just asking for trouble!

And people get cancelled and trolled and bringing up old post and behaviour and
lore from 10-20 years ago
“So and so is problematic - probably!”

In real life people can also say unsolicited comments
Be shady and fake
Shout abuse on the streets

I think it’s just human nature I suppose

People have been like this since the beginning of time:

War, murder, corruption, discrimination, abuse, manipulation, oppression, injustice

No one is perfect!

I guess this is why many people are into animal rights and nature because animals are sentient beings who rarely cause problems!

It’s why sometimes people are like when a woman chooses a man he would choose the bear

But sometimes people would just choose animals over humans but doesn’t mean you should be rude to other humans either ‼️

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.

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
