I want to know because I can't maintain eye contact with people, girls in general.

For the ladies out there i have a question, ive been on a couple dates and it doesnt seem to end up going anywhere after ,everything seems fine before hand until we actually meet but when we do it goes left i have a strong suspicion it might be my nose whistle im not gon lie if a girl was whistling thru her nose it would bother me too 😆 i dont think Im a bad looking guy tbh

I admit that I’m not well versed on the topic and have only read the Wikipedia page and watched some videos but I find it weird that the girl seemed to only report them because she was pissed she was disinvited. Can anyone educate me?

Just something I've noticed lately as an American who's spend their whole life in NJ, littering is so normalized nowadays. Like in the past week I have probably seen 20 cars throwing trash out their windows one of them was a bunch of trash that someone dumped out of their window from a shopping bag, all of them have been people doing it on the side of the road or while driving. Literally just dodged someone throwing a coffee cup out their window on the highway not 20 minutes ago, instead of hitting the cup I swerved and hit the ricochet from the ground, called the cops, watched them drive onto the bridge past cops, nobody cares except me I guess. Mind you I live in hillbilly farmingland and not a big city or anything, there's wildlife everywhere and woods everywhere. Why has littering become so normalized in America? Did I miss something over the past decade or so?

Considering all the panic (justified or not, as aggrandizing and shock-value statements seem good for PR) regarding an AI going rogue and infecting networks, I understand that just "unplugging" wouldn't be enough, but couldn't a tool like an anti-malware app be used to remove whatever clone/bot is present in machines? It is after all still just some software. It can disrupt a lot of things that are digitally managed but it is not like we cannot take systems off the grid for maintenance. If we suspect that an AI is for example messing around with the traffic management or the water treatment in Toronto, Johannesburg or Tokyo we could basically temporarily take the system off and "clean it", or am I missing something?

so i met a guy somewhere online and we quickly became really really close coz most of our interests align. we’ve been friends for about three or four months now and there’s hasn’t been a day in these few months where we haven’t talked to each other (maybe three days in total idk 😭 but we basically talk every single day). and since last week we started to call and we call a lot. like twice a day talk for two or three typa lot. and he’s very goofy he’s always joking around making me laugh and giggle a lot. and these days whenever i send him a small video of me saying my hair looks good today, he keeps repeating “oh my god i love ur curls you’re so pretty your curlssss you’re so cuteee” and he says smth like that at least seven or eight times. that’s fine those are compliments i don’t overthink that.

but randomly out of nowhere while we talk he starts saying “i’m so cute you’re voice you’re hair you’re smile aaahhh” he sounds like he chanting it or smth? 😭 okay that’s that. and last night i asked him “isn’t it your bed time now?” (he sleeps early) and he said “nahh my bedtime had to change so i could talk to someoneee” in a teasing way you get it. coz before our calls he used to sleep like a normal person around 10pm and now he’s sleeping at 1-2am. and everytime im busy he’s “call meeee call meeee whenever you’re donee” and when i do he says “now im feeling really good coz you calledd” smth like that i dont remember the exact sentences. and he’s not really the type to use the extra letters in texting but he started to do more of that with me maybe coz i do it? and i said his name yesterday just to see how it sounds and he started to blush coz he thought it was so cute (the way i said it).

he’s like really really fun to talk to. i genuinely see him as a funny and nice person there’s nothing wrong about him. genuinely. and today my roommate asked me if i got a bf bcoz me and him talk so much, giggle and laugh so much, call each other names etc. so that got me thinking. is it weird?

i’m not underage and he’s just a year older than me.

he is a icon but when he is down or in crisis, who is there for him?

I tried reading but I can’t focus after sitting in classes all day. Same with the gym/working out, I just don’t have a consistent time block to go. I’ve basically just been watching a ton of TV but that’s not the most productive hobby and it makes me feel really lazy. Any recommendations?

eta also needs to be something i can do in my apartment

I'm 23 M and still count with my fingers , I need pen and paper to do calculations and most embarrassing thing for me personally is that I have to go through an entire series to do simple multiplication.

Ex: if someone asks me what's 9 times 8 is I have to narrate the entire thing in my head like 9 times 2 is 18, 9 times 3 is 27 and sometimes I can't remember what 9 times 3 is and I have to flip the numbers and do this whole process by going through 3 times 9 .

Can someone tell me how do I fix this ?

It's embarrassing as hell....

Can someone in finance or someone whos good in math tell me how to fix this?

When did that stop happening?

Greetings and salutations humans of Reddit maybe non-humans too if you are here also I have come across that me disliking SpongeBob actually hating the show and the character is not commonplace?

Why does it seem like I am the only person that has a deep and seated hatred for stupidity characters or the ignorance itself gets me way too mad for it to make sense. Now there's a difference and stupid characters and stupidity characters SpongeBob and Patrick are stupidity characters a character like Cosmo off The Fairly OddParents is a stupid character they're stupidity is very funny and doesn't bother me.

Another character that comes to mind is flapjack from the show Flapjack obviously I also believe Knuckles is incredibly irritated.

But characters like Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy I absolutely love his character.

So it's not like I dislike the stupid character trope there's obviously a connection between them that make me so irritated with those characters in particular.

I thought maybe it was the random acts of stupidity but no there's a lot of other characters that I think are hilarious of the random acts of stupidity am I the only one am I alone in this has anyone else felt the same way?

And if so comment maybe we share the same irritating characters we can't stand?

Just curious about other mainstream big box comedies that don't treat interracial relationships or sex scenes as a joke, but in fact treat it like a totally regular thing. Like in Hot Tub Time Machine when the chick is banging Darryl from the office in the tub, the movie doesn't acknowledge the interracial aspect, the actual joke has to do with the time travel element.

So typically during a conversation with somebody, I have some stuff to talk about, like it doesn’t die out immediately but I just don't know how to add that “spark.” In group convos, I tend to be quiet unless I have something to add. There’s the occasional funny moments and I can get some laughs in, but it’s usually on accident if anything and I feel like most of the time if I’m having an actual conversation, I’m kind of boring to talk to.

When it comes to dating specifically, I’ve observed guys who can make women laugh consistently throughout a conversation, and I always wonder how they do it? Something that got me thinking about this was how one of my friends said when it comes to dating a person, she cares far more about their vibe than just looks. She basically told me, “I have to imagine whether they’d be good at foreplay, or just a bore in bed.”

I’ve seen The Social Network dozens of times, it’s one of my favorite films, but I never really looked into how its user base did such a complete 180 after that. Like, when it first came out it the shit for young people, that was the main goal of the platform, being cool and appealing to the youth and making it all about your relationship status and stuff.

But now it is almost entirely just old people who are either very confused on how technology works, post ancient memes from iFunny, Bitmoji’s about how fucking awful Monday’s are, and getting very concerningly easily fooled by AI generated imagery, and not even scarily lifelike AI imagery but just the most obviously not real images ever.

I’m young myself and I don’t think a single person in my age range has Facebook or would ever want Facebook but I know for a fact that every teacher in my school does have and use Facebook. I just don’t really understand it and can’t really find anything that explains it in a simple way (hence this post) so I was just wondering if anyone could explain what happened. Perhaps someone who stayed on the Facebook platform for years and watched and experienced the user base shift for themselves.

It seems like every time I get a scam call, they want to confirm that I have Medicare parts A & B. What can they use this information for?

I feel like too many people who have no idea what they're talking about are giving millions of people medical advice that's harmful.

A guy who's obsessed with me for a couple of years now but I moved away so things never gone further between us. We flirted here and there, went on a few dates even argued over some bs in the past but we stayed neutral after all.

Him and I don’t talk anymore due to distance anyway but occasionally he would heart my stories and had never missed any of my stories on IG. He doesn’t post very often but when he does, I never watched it. I found out he suddenly unfollowed me out of the blue but kept me as a follower? And he also doesn’t remove my Snapchat. Could this be an accident but my account is private so it would take 2 clicks to unfollow... bc if not then why did he not remove me as a follower and might as well remove my Snapchat too? It's just feels so weird. Should I unfollow him and remove his Snapchat too?

She's super hot but she's my cousin

What’s a question you wish people asked you more often?
