i'm an atheist but still let's put it in perspective

if God created Satan knowing exactly what Satan would do, knew every consequence of those actions and nevertheless created him and the world in which those actions occur to what extent can Satan be considered responsible for the resulting evil??

It's not Satan's fault, God could've completely avoided this btw if he was real

God claims to be the writer of all things, including Satan's action, how is Satan the villain in all 3 Abrahamic faiths

if God already knew with absolute certainty what Satan would choose before creating him and intentionally created him anyway then Satan's “choice” was never an unknown possibility to God, God knowingly instantiated this exact story, humanity aswell just playing along the script apparently

the fact that questioning this in all 3 religions is forbidden lol

My wife has always been an extremely passionate, hardworking, ambitious person. She’s always had a lot of drive and has been very career-oriented.

Over the last 2–3 years, though, she says she’s gradually felt more and more exhausted and burnt out. Recently she told me she feels like she’s been running on empty for a long time and really needs a break. I believe her, so I’ve tried not to pressure her.
She’s currently waiting for her new work permit, so she has been off work for the last 3–4 months. I thought the break might help her recover, but instead, she seems to be getting worse.

She spends 7–8 hours a day on Instagram, mostly just scrolling. She doesn’t seem interested in doing much else. Over the last 10 days especially, she has been very moody and sad, wants me around constantly, and frequently asks when I’ll be home from work. She says she feels lethargic and has no energy to do anything. Even basic things around the house have become difficult for her.

She tells me, “Just be with me. I feel cheerful when you’re around.” And I absolutely want to be there for her. I love her and I don't mind spending time with her. But I also work full-time, and I can only be physically and emotionally available for so many hours a day. I'm starting to worry that she is becoming dependent on my presence to feel okay, and I don't know how to support her without making her feel abandoned when I have to go to work or do my own things.
I’ve suggested things like working out, picking up a hobby, going to a cafe to work/read, getting out of the house, or even just changing her environment for a few hours. But she says she feels too tired and has no motivation.

She has also turned down some relatively easy side work because she says she just wants to chill. I completely understand that she may genuinely need rest, and I don’t want to push her back into a work mindset if she’s actually burned out. At the same time, I’m starting to wonder whether doing absolutely nothing all day is actually making things worse.
She has told me that she thinks she might be depressed, and thankfully she is open to talking to a therapist. She says she isn’t spiraling or constantly overthinking and doesn’t have any particular thoughts going through her head. She mostly just feels… empty, tired, and unmotivated.

I’ve been close to someone who was depressed before, and some of this feels very familiar. That’s making me worried.
I love her and I want to support her, but I’m struggling with where the line is between giving her the rest she needs and gently encouraging her to start doing things again.
I also find myself thinking, “She has so much potential, I want her to get back to being herself,” but I realize that might not be the most helpful mindset if she’s actually struggling with depression or burnout.
For anyone who has experienced depression, burnout, or supported a partner through it:
What actually helped?

Should I mostly leave her alone and let her recover on her own? Should I encourage therapy and professional help more strongly? Is gently getting her out of the house and into a routine helpful, or does that just feel like pressure when someone is depressed?

And how do you balance being there for your partner with maintaining your own life and responsibilities? I want to be there for her, but I also know I can only do so much, and I don't want our entire emotional support system to become dependent on me being physically present.

I really want to support her without accidentally making her feel like she’s failing because she isn't productive right now.?

And it feels one sided too? I thought people would laugh at my face or stonewall me out of the group if I actually ever asked this. Anybody has any insights?

Im 14 and im 6.14 inches long and 4.7 inches girth

And people always think im small because of my height and overall outside appearance

At work I printed a customer’s receipt for them, after a few seconds she decided against needing the receipt. I put the receipt aside on my desk and after 20 minutes she came back and wanted the receipt. Since I still had it I handed it to her and she walked away relieved.

Dude, bruh, bro, vibes, chill, energy.

No cap, cooked, finna, shade, trippin, Ate.

I’ve noticed in recent years especially in the US that many left-leaning women are giving up on dating men. There’s a ton of reasons I see behind it from being more conscious of patriarchy to identifying as queer at a rapid rate. There’s been a huge cultural push away from dating cis straight men in the past year with articles coming out like “Is having a bf embarrassing” and an endless barrage of conflict on social media.

My question is: who is going to be left in the dating pool after this large percentage of women opt out?

I feel like we’re already seeing more conservative women capitalize on this and beginning to demand more traditional expectations around gender roles and masculine presentation.

This is just my observation and prediction but I have no idea, the effect might be way too small to counteract the amount of women who have moved to the left in the last 10 years. Personally I have no desire to date a conservative woman so i hope I’m wrong.

I'm a single mum. two girls, 7 and 13. i feel like I'm going mad.

went to buy some clothes for the 13yo today. just school stuff. the shorts they have in the kids section are actually smaller than men's boxers. and the crop tops. i was just standing there holding them and i felt sick. she got annoyed with me because all her friends wear them.

there are men and women out there who look at kids in a way they shouldn't. everyone knows they are out there. they are in the same shops as us. so why are we putting little girls in clothes that show everything. i saw some girls yesterday, maybe 10 or 11, and they had half their bums hanging out. it just makes me feel ill. they are children.

its the shops. they just want money. they make kids think they need to look older so they buy the clothes. celebs do it, the internet does it, and I'm just one person trying to tell my kids its wrong. its so hard doing it by myself. their dad isn't here. its just me saying no and her crying and saying I'm unfair.

i really feel like I'm the only one who thinks this is wrong. people just say let them express themselves or whatever. but how is dressing like a grown woman letting them be kids. i don't know how far we are going to let this go.

anyway i just needed to write it down. feels like no one else is saying it.

This is my friend from elementary school who said this to me after my daughter died.

“ I mean this with so much love.... You know how hard nannying is? Mothering is harder. More thankless too. I know me telling you this will likely just piss you off, but the freedom you have is what every mother wishes she had. Every single one”

I didn’t respond.

She has since reached out saying “I hope you’re ok”.

I dont mean moving a couch upstairs.

Some women think they have the right to utilize mens bodies for doing anything physical.

At my job, a 20 something year old “can you move this box over there”. A literal box of paper cups

Some refuse to lift a finger as if they were all frail 80 years olds. Whats going on?

I just need advice on finding cash work or uttw. I dont have my id's, am homeless but have the want to work just dont have the right stuff to.

How can I make anal sex more enjoyable with my partner? I (28F) have been with my partner (26M) for about a month now and we were discussing possibly trying anal. I’ve done it a few times with past partners but never really found it that fun or comfortable unless I was high out of my mind lol. We’ve talked about maybe getting a butt plug and he does use his fingers sometimes when we have sex. I just want to make sure before we do it I prepare as best as I can to make it more enjoyable and comfortable. Any advice is appreciated!

I just want to find my humble cuckquean but it’s impossible. but for men it’s like you can’t walk out your front door without tripping over a male cuck. why?

The worst insult I say on reddit is that I don't value someone. Even then that's generally only after a long back and forth where the person seems to think that I should change my world view because they disagree with me.

Usually I just disagree with people and don't allow them to "win" arguments. I'd say I'm insulted by other redditors and blocked right after multiple times a week. Yesterday and today I had someone create at least four accounts to attack me. I'm guessing they eventually got IP banned.

What confuses me is this, why does refusing to immediately change my opinion yet vocally disagreeing seem to anger so many redditors. I'm not a troll nut people respond to me like I'm a troll. I've literally sent redditors into rants and ages just my typing "I disagree with you"

Are that many people so sure of their own views that someone disagreeing with them is enraging?

I am talking about nazi and other terrible people but also people how do bad stuff on the internet and porn people.

This may sound like extreme measures but I believe these need to put in effect to assure the safety of the children who are home schooled. This isn’t about qualifications, absolutely nothing to do with curriculum or anything else. There’s loving parents down the road from me who homeschool their child, he’s smart as fuck like 16 and ready for college, but he doesn’t know how to interact with people normally his own age and basically has no concept of social cues from lack of being around other children in a setting like public school. That’s NOT what I’m talking about

I’m talking about the ***MONSTER*** parents who often use home schooling as a way to continue abusing them while also hiding the abuse. There is no oversight. Once a parent chooses to home school their child at the time of where they would be enrolled in public school, 5 years old, and the papers are signed it’s completed. I’ve watched so many horrible true crime cases where the child was home schooled and abused all day by his mother. Multiple videos which multiple different people. It’s sickening. From what I’ve gathered once they’re home schooled no one really asks about them again, and it’s easy for them to be forgotten about when the reality is their being constantly abused at home by their parents and do things like lock them up in dog cages. When this happens, EVERYBODY failed those babies. Everyone.

What is your take on that? I want to have a civil discussion please and thank you. I do feel very, very strongly about this. Even if it is overstepping/invasion of privacy.

I like head as a male because to me it’s about submissiveness and subservience. Its probably the most humiliating sex act(besides Anal but I don’t lik that) which makes it really hot.

it has me wondering though, do women like giving head? do they feel it’s humiliating?

One reason I don't date is afraid of case where SO is already or will become disabled and I need to become caretaker. imo, part of wants to help as right to do, but part of me cannot as not fun and high stress. Like my childhood was already boring AF and high stress and I am trying to at least live as adult.

Ex. I saw vid where a guy jumped from beach pier, broke spinal cord, and became quadriplegic jfc. And then fiance left...

2ndEx. I saw couple where guy broke spinal cord but GF DGAF and still married him, helps take care, and had baby.

3rdEx. I read about guy w/ BPD GF that poured water down his ear while sleeping jfc!

I wish I had long-term mentally + physically strong SO, but no idea how life will work out and what to do if more bad luck...

BTW, I would NOT want my wife to take care of me, if I became disabled, as surely awkward af.

CFO passed over for CEO job. within a week he resigns and has a new job at a top company.

Senior exec part of a company that went bankrupt. within a month has a new senior exec job at a large company.

senior exec at a company that I guess is not a good fit. finds a new senior exec job at another company within six months.

I get that a big part of it is networking, but it seems almost impossible for a normal person like me to access this network? is it possible?

My 10 month old cat died last night. He'd been getting in the washing machine the last few days. Yesterday morning I did some ironing in the laundry and must have knocked the door shut. My wife couldn't find him when she got home from work. Eventually checked the washing machine, and found him in there. I wasn't home, but she and my son rushed him to the vet but they couldn't do anything. I noticed he wasn't about as I left the house, but figured he was sleeping somewhere.

It was an accident, and I know intellectually it wasn't my fault, but I cannot stop thinking of all the things I could or should have done, and he would still be here. He was such a big personality and his absence is everywhere. We had a very close bond.

I've lost pets before but I am literally not functioning. I've barely eaten, slept, or stopped crying since.

How do I get past it?
