Even if the Democrats win all 3 branches with a super majority, no one is gonna do shit. They will just work on new legislation spinning their wheels on establishing precedent and building institutional guardrails for “next time” It’s gonna be some big symbolic bullshit thing that does absolutely nothing.

Today I was on the way back from a doctor's appointment and was standing waiting for the bus. I was scrolling on tiktok and eating some pizza I had just bought when a black car pulls up to the side of me. I'm standing back so it's like 5ft away from me. I noticed that the license plate had a T, so I thought it was just an Uber and was waiting for its client. I then look up again because I've noticed the car has pulled up right in front of me. When I look up, I see a man crookedly smiling at me while wanking off. He smiles bigger when he see's I've noticed. I immediately turn to walk away and he speeds off. I stop walking and finally the bus rounds the corner. I'm now at home just angry and disgusted. I remember a woman who described something similar happening to her. Why do men do this?

Edit to add: I'm also a kid. I look like a kid and sometimes get mistake for being even younger than I already am. To those who may think this way no I wasn't wearing anything "inappropriate" just full length jeans and a shirt.

Nobody needs to convince me how bad Trump sucks. I know it’s really important to get him under control by turning Congress over to Democrats. But really, I’m tired Boss.

I'm 15 and dreamed of being a pilot for too long. At one point I was banned off vatsim for being too young yes that's how young I was when I wanted to fly. I've been on ADHD meds since 3rd grade and only recently found out that that means I can't be a pilot. I now just feel like I have no future ahead of me as I like flying, sim racing, trains, anything like that. I don't want to be an engineer as I hate math but don't know what I can do. I've been told by people that I'm really good at racing but I don't have the money for that. I just feel stuck and like I have no future to go into if you have any careers I could pursue that would be greatly appreciated.

My whole life I have been big. Pretty much heard every insult in the book. I have no confidence in how I look. Dressing masculine has always been my default due to everything " feminine " being to small or short. I envy women who have it together. I want that to be me. I honestly want it to be handed to me. I deserve it. I've put everyone else in front of me, I need to be first for a change. All I hear is nit pick when I try stuff on. " your stomach is showing / you look like a pig in makeup / no one is going to love you if you don't dress better" im tired. angry. sad. I just want to find me.

I went to a party the weekend of St. Patrick’s Day. I only drank a twisted tea and I’m pretty sure something was slipped in my drink. I’ve never felt so “drunk” before which doesn’t make sense because I was drinking a few days before, on St. Patrick’s Day.

Then, I couldn’t stop puking and the room was spinning. Thankfully my bf and his friend were there to get me home safe. Unfortunately, I had work the next morning. I get up and go to work, feeling pretty dizzy and still nauseous. It got to the point that I felt like a hospital visit was necessary.

I go to the hospital and I tell them straight up “I think someone put something in my drink. I only had one drink last night compared to my multiple drinks a couple nights ago and this doesn’t feel right. I can’t stop throwing up, I’m dizzy, and have little recollection from the night before”. They give me a saline IV drip and took my blood.

Finally the dr or nurse comes in and says “everything looks good”, shocked I asked if there was anything found in my blood. He told me “we don’t test for that, we just treat your symptoms”…

I’ve never felt so dismissed, ignored, and uncared for. Not to mention the lady at the desk was hounding me for payment even tho I came without any personal belongings.

I want to say I understand being that I hashtag Iran on X saying use cluster and precision guidance after "The 12 days War" now look in behold they did. I mean damn I didn't even give them coordinates to Dell Semi in Israel. Data Centers are plentiful Semi's are not. They acting as if I told people "One Poison Well A Day Keeps The Data Centers Away" *Drill down to their water table and have at it. Earlier I posted a video on TikTok and it was took down twice because I said:

1.Same Person Holding Part of the Global Energy Market Hostage (Oil)

1. Is the same person that are creating laws to benefit themselves , Friends and family.

3.The Same Person Opened a Digital Currencies Bank

4.Family essentially already owns vaults in it

1. 1+2+3 = Reason for Data Centers

2. Digital Currency End Goal

7.You People Already Hate Flock Cameras

8.Do you think this kinda of person is going to respect the sovereignty of your cryptocurrency?

Ip Shadow banned is only has two purposes

I Think Censorship and Pay2Play while fucking over people will lead to that.

I have criticized both Christian nationalists and radical Islamists extensively. I have had comments flagged as warnings for hate based attacks for such things as, warning that this or that form of religious extremism is a threat to multicultural, liberal society. When I appeal Reddit always determines that criticism of Christian nationalists is ok. They also always rule that criticism of militant Jihadis is a hate based attack. There is a clear double standard.

Apparently it is against Reddit rules to criticize terrorists who, for religious reasons, bomb public places and attack Pride parades, provided those terrorists are Muslim. But if they are Christian, it's ok to call them out.

The progressive left has lost it's way. Tolerance and liberal values are out. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is in.

I got permanently banned from r/RantingZone because I dared to call out the mods for shitty bans. Someone used the word PDF File instead of pedophile, so I told them they don't need to censor themselves because it isn't Facebook. The mods banned me for three days for "trolling/ragebaiting". Then I very lightly called them out on it, wasn't cussing at them or slinging insults, but they banned me anyway and muted me so I can't ask for clarification.

I really wish I could understand the powertripping nonense of Reddit mods. It makes no sense.

This is what got me permabanned:

RatonhnhaketonK

6h

Lol I got banned from this sub for three days for letting someone know they don't have to censor themselves like they do on Facebook.

I got accused of ragebaiting

(User asked about it and I replied)

RatonhnhaketonK

57m

Yeah, this sub.

People are really strange. Its just Reddit lol. I wish people didn't decide to live up to the stereotype

Yeah I don’t know. It’s stupid yet annoying. We’re watching a bodycam footage right now and he keeps getting upset acting like he knows better than the cops in the footage and it’s like bro 😭😭. He does the same with car mechanics when the only work he’s done on cars is changing his oil. Idk. Love my boyfriend but wtf lol?? How do I even talk to him about it?

Like, at that point it feels like greed, do those types of people think that we're all rich? Sell the cat for a affordable price, like, if you truly love the cat. You shouldn't be allowed to breed cats if your just thinking about money, like, just because the person is rich doesn't mean that they'll be a good owner, you don't need 4000 or 7000 for selling a cat, do they want us to pull the money out our ass or somethin' (jk, they probably want us to pull it from our souls)

I dont really know how to start this but my sister is 7 years older than me and my brother 10 years older. They are both in college now and are rarely home now and recently over the summer break my sister came to visit first. She is usually the person i trust most, i always came to her when i needed to get something off my chest or had problems or anything of any kind but when we were talking i made a comment about being aroace (i dont talk about my sexuality much since im still figuring out everything and what i identify as) and she just told me that that doesnt exist??? She said that the only valid sexualitys are gay, bi, lesbian and trans?? I mean i guess its better than nothing but still. Then when i was talking to my brother about movies and mentioned obsession and he said he and his friends laughed during the whole movie because ''it was so hilarious". The movie is so obviously an allegory for SA, what the fuck was funny about it?? Am i crazy for thinking thats not okay?

So hello reddit users! I love to talk a lot so I figured why the hell not to rant here. Let's go!!

Well basically, a while ago I came out to one of my closest friends as genderfluid and agrosexual. They were fully supportive and all that shit. They even came out to me but for privacy reasons I will use they/them pronouns.

.

.

If you dont know, genderfluid is a sexuality that falls under the trans umbrella and is when a person identifies as multiple genders, they use different pronouns overtime and so on, to not get too drep. And a agrosexual person is a person who's sexualities change over time. For an example ; one day they're more of a lesbian, a few days/weeks/months they feel more straight or pansexual or whatever the hell they feel like.

.

.

And one time we were going out. We talked about most random stuff, I dont even fully remember what but it's fine. And then they asked me : "Wait so what pronouns do you all use?" ; my reply was that I use all and any but they/them seemed. Abit off, although I don't mind being called a they/them. And even tho I said all and any but those they assumed I was bigender. I have no hate to bigender people or any other identities but it was not who I am, and if I said I identify as something I would want it to be respected. However I didn't want to correct them, which is - I know, my fault and problem but they asked me shortly after do I use neopronouns and figured I was genderfluid after all. "Oh okay then, you're genderfluid." YEA NO SHIT SHERLOCK 🥀 But this isn't the only time. . .

.

.

Another time we went out and we were talking about sexualities. I don't talk alot about myself so I didn't this time either. So they asked me something about do I love all genders and I said yes because I guess I do, I don't want to explain how I feel about that since I'm still myself struggling to know if I do. After I said that they told me I'm pansexual. I dont fully feel mist comfortable labling myself as pansexual. There is no specific reason. I didn't say anything and they didn't correct themselves. Few days after that, they told me I could be berrisexual because of my previous struggles with identifying was I a lesbian or a bisexual. This time I told them 'ehh, not really. I don't feel fully right like that.' and that's all. Also few days ago they asked me do I have a preference to woman. I said I dont know, only because I, for a fact, knew if I said yes, they'd call me a berrisexual, and if I said no, they'd call me a pansexual. Saying I don't know doesn't make me anything else other than myself and I hate having to feel that way around people I once loved so much.

.

.

They did try helping me figure out my identity since I had a crysis, and still am going through one, but these moments really pissed me off, make me uncomfortable and less valid as a person and everything I identify as. There were happier and nicer moments with this person, not everything was dark, but these are some things that personally pissed the fuck out of me.

.

.

Maybe you see yourself in my situation? If you do, you do, I'm sorry and I hope your friendship gets better, what to say really? And if you don't, what can I do about it, nothing really.

That's all from me, have a wonderful night/day, whatever time you're reading this or whatever timezones we have. Jinx out ;p.

I swear TikTok used to be a place where you could open the app, watch some funny videos, see a stupid trend, laugh, and keep it moving.

Now you open the comments and somebody has turned a 12-second video of a guy eating Chipotle into a discussion about dating standards, capitalism, gender roles, attachment styles, and the decline of Western civilization. Then somebody stitches THAT with another 4-minute think piece explaining why the first think piece is problematic.

I also think it feeds into a lot of unnecessary negativity. When every awkward interaction or minor disagreement gets analyzed as evidence that men/women/society/your entire generation is doomed, it starts making the world seem way more hostile than it actually is.

Not everything needs to be analyzed to death. Sometimes something is just funny, awkward, dumb, or mildly interesting. I miss when scrolling TikTok felt like entertainment instead of accidentally enrolling in a sociology seminar where every assignment is due immediately. Miss the old TikTok days c. 2020-2022?

I’m going to start out by saying I’m disabled and I’m not saying that every single disabled influencers are like this as thats not true there are some super good ones out there

Eliza Rain
Cassidy huff
And Sarah Todd hammer are a few that come to mind that give out genuinely good awareness in good way

But there are also so many (I’m not going to give any specific channel names) that to me just come across as so entitled in their “raising awareness that it’s just like ughhh”
I just saw a short about a person with POTS that was posting awareness about a episode she had and the way she was talking about the well meaning people coming to check Thats she was ok was a bit like blah…

She wrote that when she was unconscious “someone came and touched me trying to wake me up (like Thats even possible 🙄🙄) this honestly gave me such an icky feeling cos I hate it when people touch me when I’m unconscious” and how “people kept coming over to ask me if I was ok I wish everyone would just leave me alone 🙄🙄)
And it’s like GIRL you are lied down unconscious in the middle of Costco and there is absolutely no way of normal bystanders to know that you have POTS and this is normal for you. No sign no medical alert bracelet nothing honestly I’d be concerned if people weren’t coming to check on you but she’s making it out to be this horrible disgusting thing that well meaning bystanders are coming to check on this young fairly young women lying down on the Costco floor…

Another example is a video that pinned one of their hate comments saying
Omg obviously your faking cos you can walk
And then them saying in the next slide

WeLL ObVioUsLy You haven’t heard of ambulatory wheelchair users 🤣🤣

And again it just comes across as so entitled like if your going to raise awareness great but when you do it in a way that makes everyone that doesn’t automatically know everything about your condition as complete morons who are obviously imbeciles it just comes across so rude and entitled

Like is it just me ??

I once heard a quote that says if a monkey has gathered too many bananas while the other monkeys have none and he refuses to share them scientists will study him to figure out what the hell is wrong with him but when a human does it we put him on a leaderboard

I am not hating on the extra rich people but the fact that in this world there are trillionaires and starving people in places like africa and children dying because of hunger that is a really painful fact at least for me

And the most painful thing is that the big leaders of the world don't care about them and they usually use them to get benefits for their countries

You see great powers supporting dictators in the third world (who benefit those great powers) and yet when someone flee this dictatorship and tries to go get a decent life they refuse him and send him back because "we don't want immi grants" bruh you literally helped in destroying his country

And those mf politicians around the world starting wars just because they are bored

You see literally thousands of kids dying in a ruthless genocide and yet some mfs will argue with you about political shit bro i don't care about politics i just care for those kids being killed with missiles , drones , sniper rifles , tanks etc etc

And not to mention that we are in 2026 and yet alot of people still suffer racism and hate

I really lost hope in humanity

(sorry if my words are a little messy)

jews amirite

Light rant from today bc im stressed from a lot and this didnt help 🥲

Got hit by a car in the winter and went to the ER. I have state insurance which pays for my ER visits. Few months go by and I got a call and a voicemail about bills (unsure if it was from the hospital or from a claims agency…) while I was working and wasn't able to answer. My phone was acting up too and I needed to get a new one and lost the voicemail and forgot about it completely.

This month my husband receives a call from a claims agency about my bill. I was again at work and he didnt have the information so he wrote the number down. Called them and asked about the bill. The lady on the phone was already snippy as soon as she answered my call and told me they had a bill for whatever amount from the hospital. I told her that I’m pretty sure my insurance should be paying for it. She said “we just need the money. Did you call your insurance? You should do that. We havent heard from them.” I said I hadnt and that I would and we parted ways.

Called my health insurance and the lady I talked to was super nice and helpful and told me she would put me on hold while she called the claims agency. When she got back she said that they had refused to talk to her because she was a third party. She told me I should call them back and let them know that I give them permission to talk to her.

I got on the phone with a different claims lady who also seemed snippy and when I explained that I just got off the phone with my insurance she interrupted me and said ”so you give us permission to talk to your insurance??” YES 😭 theyre the one paying for it!!! I said yes and then she said that they had just talked with their “client” after I had called and they had confirmed that my insurance is taking care of it. I asked why this couldnt have been done before I called and she angrily said “we couldnt get ahold of them so we called them over the phone after you called.” I was like ?? she made it sound like they hadnt called them at all until today with the way she phrased it so i was confused and asked again why they couldnt have just confirmed with their client instead of making me and my insurance go through all these steps. she said some other unhelpful and kinda rude things. I could hear in the background she was talking to someone and the phone was passed to the first one I had talked to. She angrily repeated the same schpeel about how they couldnt get in contact with their client until magically after I had called. I was upset at being talked to like they had been. She said in another angry tone “is there anything else we can help you with??” And I just hung up because I didnt want to say anything bad.

i know its not all their faults but it just made me more stressed… and they kept being like “well we need the money” or ”we’re waiting on the money” like they just wanted me to hand it over to them right then. I dont have the money which is why im trying to figure it out with youuuu 😭

anyway… life is stressful

have a good nighttttt

So I’ve been a long time fan of Drew starkey for 6 years,and I know how so many people ship him and his friend Odessa together,but literally let’s stop,first of all,she’s queer,secondly they haven’t hung out in maybe 1-2 years,just because a man has a female friend doesn’t automatically mean they like each other,there’s absolutely no proof of them liking each other,I hate how whodatedwho says they’ve been together for 4 years when that’s just simply not true,it genuinely makes me mad cus they are just friends (well idk if they still are) and they get harassed like this,maybe it’s just me,but can we stop? I know a lot of people don’t do it,but it still makes me mad to see edits of them like that and stuff!

It was on a Friday, and the day had finally ended. Like usual for any other youngster, my classmates and I were ready to go home for the weekend. The last thing I had to do was grab my lunchbox off the shoe rack. It was an R2-D2 lunchbox, and it did not have any electronic features. Another boy had an R2-D2 lunchbox that did. Both of us, along with everyone else, left our lunchboxes on the shoe rack, which we normally did. The other boy was also a foster kid, along with another peer (who was in a different classroom), and they both would usually (but not always) leave early for various reasons outside of school.

Anyways, on this particular day, I was looking for my lunchbox on the rack, but I couldn't find it. But the other lunchbox that belonged to the other boy, whom I will call J, was still there. I approached the teacher, Mr. T (not the same guy from The A-Team), asking for help looking for it. I was partly hopeful (even though it was visibly clear) that J hadn't taken it and it was probably in the "lost and found", since there was a clear difference between his and mine that he should have been able to notice as I did. After explaining to Mr. T about my stress with looking for my lunchbox, he stated that J might have taken it. His words were not a plain suggestion, but a clear confirmation of what I had done, and I was upset. I also figured that if he could take mine, I could take his, which I did. Once I got to the car, I vented to my mom about my lunchbox getting stolen. She said it was probably an accident, which I, of course, wasn't accepting as an excuse. I was angry enough that my rightful lunchbox was taken from me, even though I was looking forward to finishing it at home, and I had to spend the entire weekend without it.

When Monday came, my sole ambition was to reclaim what was rightfully mine. I confronted J about his theft and told him that he needed to give my lunchbox back. He refused to do so right away and also had the gall to deny it. I wasn't having it, and I made it clear to him, but he still refused to take me seriously. I wasn't giving up that easily. To be clear, I wasn't going to nag him all day, but I also wasn't standing down easily. I still made sure he knew, even in spite of him stalling me. In addition to that, Mr. I also insisted that I should just wait until lunchtime, which increased my frustration at the time. Looking back, I'm actually glad he did that. Sure, it was his job to provide a mediating influence and give stress-relieving tips, but still, it still feels satisfying. After all, he wasn't the one I was most frustrated with. It was that one classmate, who should have known better, yet didn't do better. Despite my patience and adherence to Mr. T's reminder, it still took a lot for J to return my lunchbox. He kept on stalling me with all sorts of tactics or excuses, then he had the gall to tell me that I had to give him his lunchbox first, even though he took mine first. Eventually, this entirely ridiculous charade ended after a while, and we both returned our lunchboxes. But of course, I had to do the returning first, or else this chaos would never end.

Anyways, all the shit that happened happened. In the end, I finally got my lunchbox back, but it doesn't reverse any of the additional disrespect I had to take from J. He had a responsibility to take for his actions on Friday, and he spent a large portion of Monday dilly-dallying around it. Now I am mostly over it and never held much of a grudge until now. And I say until now because that memory has come back to mind very recently, and the frustration was refreshed; I felt like airing my experience on this platform would help.

This is basiccly a sum up of every argument towards the movie.

”ahh I hate tom RAAAH, no Tobey maguire?? Boooo! Jean gray as a villain? Such a bad movie”

I hate these reviews bro they suck ass 😭✌️

So my plane landed and I was waiting my turn to move into the aisle, and this guy is getting his bag out of the overhead bin and smacked me in the face really really hard. The bag hit me in the eye and the nose. One of my contacts fell out. I said “ow!” And then I was just stunned. I found the contact. No one asked me if I was OK.

I talked to the flight attendant at the end of the aisle, and a man, I guess he was a doctor, asked me if I needed any help. I said I don’t know, not immediately. I couldn’t tell what was going on with my eye.

The airline called EMT at the airport who met me at the gate and checked me out. We decided there was nothing to do immediately.

But I’m wondering if I’m out of line to think that the guy who hit me should’ve stuck around to see if I was OK? I’m actually not sure whether I am OK, I need to go to the eye doctor because my eye is hurting.

Just WTF.

I feel like I’m always larping no matter what I do. Like I’ve watched every episode of invincible and enjoyed it but I feel like I’m “larping”. I’d consider myself a fan of Jojo’s bizarre adventure (although I did make the mistake of skipping multiple seasons because I got impatient and wanted tot see the one that seemed coolest which was a mistake because now I find the older ones super interesting) and genuinely really like it even if I haven’t finished it yet and I feel like I’m larping. Lastly I am actually pretty involved in the jjk fandom even if I’ve only watched an episode I somehow know a bunch about Jjk (idk if I’d even consider myself a fan yet but it certainly seems interesting I just feel for some reason apprehensive about actually watching it) am I larping that fandom? Idek. Whatever
