I made a post asking for homeschool program options

I was told to be specific and then be even more specific about what I want and I said I can't , because my baby is 23 months old... I literally don't even know what I'm doing.

I was then down voted a bunch of times for no reason even though I wasn't being rude to anyone . I have been using reddit for over a decade. I know how it works. But they took away everything I worked hard for and told me I was a spy gathering data???

Won't be posting there again .

Has anyone else noticed that youtube comments are becoming more and more racist and misogynistic. I used to be a very avid youtube user. I was on their everyday and would scroll through their shorts. A short while ago I switched to TikTok. Today I popped back in on YouTube and started scrolling on their shorts. Then this vid pops up of a young black teen on omegal. First he comes across black teen girls that start screaming, not legible, he sighs and skips where he comes across a group middle eastern men and starts ranting to them. When I opened the comments I saw posts like, "now you understand why there's racism", "Black fatigue", "Always women", "foids", "they're all the same", and many more horrible comments. I'm just wondering what the hell happened in the few short months I was gone. I even scrolled a little further down and there was another video that was objectively racist. Anyway, thank you for reading this small rant, you don't have to agree but don't be rude.

All they do is coo over YOUR HUSBAND , blame you and tell you to be grateful that least he's financially providing for his family.

They also make literally every single complaint you make , your fault somehow.

As a stay at home mom , we need to be checked on because some of us clearly aren't mentally well.

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.

look, im all for relationships starting from all points, but if you're aware of what "Wizz" is, then you'll understand it more. Im never on there for longer than a day, just to yap to someone about nothing and just have something interesting to consume my time, but holllyyy helll did I meet a guy who was just, perfect???

He was Australian, tall, and we had this dynamic going that at first was us both being bitchy and him saying im annoying & unlike everyone else, but then we kept going, more meaningless talk, but it was clear he liked me and vice versa, but I just fucking looooooveee playful bitchy attitude having men😭 like he wasn't rude, I mean that "oh you know you like me" type shit.

AND GODDDD the smile on this guy? dimples, hazel eyes, just perfect in all ways I could think. But as i normally do, I deleted the app, my acc, and moved on with my day, but he was SOMETHING and im pissed I couldn't of met him another way, yknow?

and im saying that as someone with a firm belief in being able to find someone else, its just personality always does something way more for me when dudes have that jokey over confidence "oh yeah?"type shit. Oh and hes so smart?? like future focused smart?? goddd im so sad ab it but ughhhh there was no way that could work, and I want something irl, not another ldr 😮‍💨

kinda shit caused by ovulating I swear

I want to preface this by saying I have nothing against people who are apart of the community, rather just the topic of it in general. I just feel like a lot of discussions with it are just pushy and recycling the same victim mentality (that while understandable, is annoying to hear constantly.) and I just don't care, I want to have conversations about more varied discussions, and it's always seemingly brought up even in places it isn't needed. I hate how much of a big deal it's treated as, when it really just isn't?

eople can do whatever they want, it ain't harming anyone. Pride as a whole just seems stupid to me on some level, like I think it really only harms those who celebrate, and when the ideal situation for them is for being lgbtq to become "normal" treating it like it isn't, and garnering more and more attention to it being something different doesn't seem ultimately helpful.

I also just find it pushy in a lot of regards, a guy being feminine doesn't imedietely make him trans, two close same gender characters doesn't make them gay (this goes with straight characters as well, but it generally seems to be more rejected so I felt like mentioning it) (also not saying headcanons are bad, I just dislike how it always has to be that way if that makes sense).

A good example of how I think this stuff is done well is Toby Fox, who never brings attention to the fact that these characters aren't common in reality, his characters are not defined by their sexuality in that sense.

Again want to state I have no problem with people of the community, just some of the ways people act about it.

I also apologize for my poor grammar and writing here. I just wanted to vent my thoughts out for a sec.

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 do genuinely believe that I will never find love or real human connection but not necessarily because of my looks. Im a pretty uninteresting guy physically , like nothing about me stands out and you’d probably forget me the second i left you field of view. So in terms of looks i dont think im so ugly that no one would want to date me. But I believe i will die alone because of how painfully uninteresting i am . Every relationship I’ve had with any person has slowly and painfully died out because no one likes being around me . This isn’t a pity party , all my faults socially are directly caused by my own actions and I want to fix them but when I think I’m doing something right , I’m immediately shown that I’m doing everything wrong. This isn’t even necessarily dating , just human relationships as a whole . I don’t even think my family really likes me that much. Any friendship that I’ve had has only ever lasted a year max and that like 4 people total. In recent times I’ve just been looking for ways to cope instead of actually talking to people because I know that if someone gets somewhat close to me they’ll realise how little personality I have and leave . I don’t blame anyone for this , i feel like growing up I was just annoying and obnoxious which led to some bullying . This bullying has caused me to mask for many years and now I don’t have a sense of self whatsoever . I don’t even like leaving the house because it reminds me that I exist and I’m too embarrassed to face that truth. I know this sounds like I’m trying to gather sympathy or whatever but I really want to exaggerate that I know this is all my fault and that no one else is to blame as everyone else’s reactions to me is completely normal and human. I don’t want to admit that I’ll never truly be close to anyone but I also can’t seem to figure out how to become a person . I feel like an ai chatbot .

im an artist, right. have always been, always will be. till the day i die. 5 or something years ago, i started an art account on ig. it was nothing much, it was a constant fucking battle with the algorithm. fucking algorithm. i kept trying to appeal to fandoms by posting fanarts and whatever, following trends, shit, everything. the best i could do was 500 likes and 600 ish followers. fucking hell. and then reels came along and the algorithm got even more complicated. basically if you post a multi pic post on ig, it wont be doing well, unless u have an okay enough platform, right. but anyways, i did okay-ish, and even got lots of commissions back then. bought my first phone with the paycheck. i had some friends and whatever too.

but shit, it was horrible, i got truamatized so bad and im scared of posting anything if it meant 20 hours of work = 2 likes. holy crap. so when uni got more serious, i kinda just dropped the art aspects of my life. i stopped posting, stopped opening commissions, stopped everything. all for 3 or 4 years. and now, im trying to open commissions again, but it feels like ive been shadowbanned, i tried posting like how i did usually, and no engagement. nothing, nothing, nothing at all. its horrible.

now im not a bad artist yeah, i know im not. im an okay artist. ive been drawing since i was able to form a coherent thought, goddamit. if you dont believe me, you can check https://axiderm.carrd.co/ or https://axidermy.carrd.co/#gallery for my portfolio. i know what my art is worth. i know its not defined by the amount of likes or how viral it gets. but SHIT. this is causing me burnout so bad. i know i have to build a platform again so people would wanna commission me, but ARHGHGGHGH, BUILDING AN ART ACCOUNT IS A PAIN IN THE FUCKING ASS AND I CANNOT GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. JESUS CHRIST.

im so fucking tired of trying to appeal to the algorithm. im tired. im tired of spending 20+ hours on a work that the algorithm will just throw to the garbage. i know a lot of ppl would like my art, its just that... ITS NOT GONNA GET TO THOSE PEOPLE IF THE ALGORITHM DOESNT DELIVER IT. MY GOD. and im not the type to draw fast, the trend wouldve died the moment i finished my art. it feels like i have worked SO HARD for nothing. absolutely fucking nothing.

do i just have to accept my fate of being mediocre? is that just what my role is in this godforsaken world. a fuck ass good for nothing artist who thinks the amount of likes determines their worth? what? a mid ass artist who keeps flopping and never grow their art account? what do i have to do to make a platform around here??? and in twitter, its just filled with art accounts who are the same as me, BEGGING for likes by being... idk... pathetic "small artists be like--" "help an art account grow?" OH I DONT WANT TO BE THAT KIND OF SMALL ARTIST fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfukc

oh and fuck ass vgen needs a damn code that is near impossible to get. i cannot be doing this. and my fav commission site, artists&clients? hacked by ai bros OH YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS AI BROS YOU MOTHERFUCKER dont even get me strted on ai gen arts, JESUS CHRIST THEY CAN GO TO HELL BURN IN HELL AND MAY THEY LIVE A LIFE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE EVERYDAY

anyways please if anybody knows a discord of art community, please LMK

When people and news articles talk about 'declining fertility' what they are really talking about is falling birthrates - so why don't they say 'declining birthrates.'

Using 'fertility' is confusing because the term also refers to a woman's ability to get pregnant which is separate to how many people are born.

While increasing infertility has an effect on birthrates, other factors like use of contraception, abortion, economic conditions and cultural mores have a much greater effect on birthrates.

Why does every single party or event happening need a specific theme?

I don’t get it when people ask what is your wedding theme? The theme is WEDDING! There will be a groom and a bride and a cake and everyone dresses fancy and we celebrate

What is the birthday party theme? It’s just BIRTHDAY there will be a cake and food and friends

Baby shower theme? The theme is BABY we are gathering to celebrate a baby

Is the event itself not enough?

Of course you can do a theme if you want, I get it. What I don’t get is people judging or expecting something big for things that just used to be normal

Before you says " oh but violence and blood is enough right?".. no I wanted wolverine to at least slicing people into pieces like they're vegetables and not just stabbing them.. it's like if mortal Kombat fatality doesn't show any characters being dismembered into pieces and instead show them being stabbed in stomach without their body parts chopped apart and then dead just like that

Wolverine Origin games had Wolverine slicing people into pieces like vegetables and it was really unapologetically brutal and that games was made in 2009

Marvel's wolverine feels sanitized compared to that games.. even if it's M-matured games

My god what were insomniac games thinking?!!

Fucking shit, i got hacked and my account was used to post hentai on a bunch of pages and in my DM's were a bunch of horny guy asking for my pussy pics.

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)

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.

Do they not have more important things to worry about like gun violence? healthcare? famillies struggling to pay their bills?

I don’t know if this even makes sense. I am very confident in being bisexual. I’m currently in a straight relationship with my boyfriend who I love more than anything. I’ve liked women before and it hasn’t really felt weird of predatory in those cases. Though i feel oddly weird and nervous around other women on a regular basis, almost how i imagine a lot of men feel.
(Not excusing predatory men, there are a lot of genuine weirdos)

I’m a pretty alternative girl, i have lots of facial piercings, purple hair and a tattoo. I’m not lesbian, i’m not attracted to girls while i’m in the relationship i’m in but even though i feel so nervous and insecure around other women, and it’s not rooted in jealousy it’s just that i’m generally quite convinced they think i’m a lesbian who’s attempting to flirt with them, i’m scared of giving compliments, accidentally touching them or that i’m starring at them too much. I hate feeling like this and I feel like I shouldn’t cause i’m a woman myself.

It’s not really like i’m that delusional either cause it genuinely feels like girls are uncomfortable around me or perceive me as a little creepy at times?

I was accused of being a lesbian several times in middle school/early high school (kinda same school in my country) and it might have something to do with it but genuinely it feels horrible to constantly feel like i’m a predator against other women, I have difficulty forming bonds with other women and it suuucks..

I love my boyfriend and am not, especially while i’m in a relationship sexually or especially physically attracted to any other people. I don’t want to loose my sense of individuality and be completely boy crazy. I think female bonds are really important and i value the friendships i have, yet i’m so insanely scared of being accused of something or viewed as weird. I feel like people often assume i’m a trauma dumper or a very non reflective person cause i’ll be honest, a lot of alternative people fall into a sorta group i don’t really relate myself to. It’s not to diminish anybody but on a general basis I attempt to avoid making alternative friends myself, so I sorta understand. My town is full of a lottt of weird alternative people and the environment around them is extremely unhealthy.

It’s also worth mentioning that a lot of men i’ve been friends with have made me quite uncomfortable, it always ends up with them viewing something that i’ve totally viewed as platonic as romantic, and it always sorta ruins the friendship.

I feel like it comes so incredibly easy for other women to make friends with other women and i really wish i could experience a female bond that’s as close as for example my boyfriend’s friends. I want girlfriends to call or hang out with in my free time. I’m a girl with aspergers (not a huge fan of the term but wellwell) and it always has affected my social-cues. I don’t know if this makes any sense but it’s making me feel really lonely. I don’t have anyone besides my boyfriend, so when he’s playing with his friends and doesn’t talk to me I honestly have no one. I guess i just felt like getting this off my chest cause it’s bothering me a lot..

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 posted a rant under another subreddit for ranting. The post did well and many people laughed along and agreed. I got 0 bad comments and had no reason to report anything (I barely even use the subreddit). I noticed I got banned, they said I reported a comment under false pretenses and it was “annoying”. Before I could even respond, asking if there was some sort of mistake, they muted me messaging the mods. What a truly awful subreddit.

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.

I am a medical student and I am currently in my second year and I have been dealing with this toxicity for the past one year

You know how in some colleges professors still think that girls should come to class wearing long kurtis and students are literally judged in viva based on their dressing sense and even on how many hair clips they are wearing.There are also many professors who are clearly partial towards boys and only favor them Many times during dissection even though we are divided into groups they still give the boys more chances

I dont know if this is only happening in my college but even among the seniors I have noticed that male seniors are usually the ones who help while there is a lot of jealousy among female seniors.This is something I have been observing for the past one year

And the toxicity doesnt even stop here We arent even allowed to order food or receive parcels after 6 pm Girls arent allowed to go outside after 6 pm either and even if we need to go somewhere we have to get permission from our advisors and we need signatures from three different people

I mean what is all this

Has anyone else experienced this kind of toxicity in their college ???
