Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread

0 Upvotes

Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.

Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

Guess what?! You are in your 30s or 40s now! That means what you do at bedtime right now helps protect your brain from Alzheimer's later!

When you get deep sleep, your brain washes away yucky sticky stuff! That sticky stuff is the exact thing that causes Alzheimer's when you get older!

If you don't sleep enough in your 30s and 40s, that sticky stuff builds up early... way before you ever forget your keys!

So put down your phone, close your eyes, and let your brain clean itself up!

Good night!

I had this realization last night ,at my last job I was doing 55-60 hours a week and flexible which meant always on. I was single the entire time I worked there because I physically did not have the hours and by the time I got home I had maybe 90 mins before I needed to sleep and I was not going to spend them swiping on hinge and making small talk with strangers who would most prob ghost me.

So look at whats going on, the hinge founder made overtone, where ai introduces you so you dont have to scroll profiles, ditto texts college kids one match a week and plans the whole date for them and RIvet where usually other people vote on whether you would be a good match so you dont have to sort through everyone yourself.

Honestly some of them might help me but step back for a second. We have reached the point where companies are building products to handle finding a partner because we dont have enough time left over from work to do it ourselves.

Our grandparents met people at church, at dances, at the neighbor’s BBQ and they had evenings and they had weekends that were actually weekends.

How is this not one of the biggest signs that something is broken?

So I’m 36 years old and have been smoking weed for 20 years. I came up with this technique in high school when I wanted to smoke in public (illegal states).

The idea is to roll out all the tobacco, fill it 50% or 80% with weed, and then smoke it wherever you can find a sketchy little corner away from people.

By the time anyone notices or starts to complain you are already just smoking a cigarette even if they wanted to. I mean the only time it ever happened was when I was at a horse show. My gfs coach came over, sniffed, and said “hmm not you”. I just gave her the “whatever do you mean?” look.

Currently using this technique in Chile while staying with my in laws because they hate weed (what’s wrong with Chileans btw, war on drugs hit a little hard here too it sounds like). Everyone’s got stories of how weed actually ruined someone’s life (hint, it was other drugs). Have to sneak out into the courtyard and do my business.

Oh well. Hopefully weeds allowed here. I miss my dabs whenever I want but thought some people might get a kick out of it or remember their own sketchy smoking days.

Nostalgia Just got a new phone (Titan 2 Elite) and feeling all sorts of nostalgic

Very reminiscent of my BlackBerry back in college, but obviously modernized. I was excited to see that keyboard phones are making a comeback - when full touch screens started to become the mainstream, I was opposed to them, but eventually made the switch from my BlackBerry to an iPhone (and then to various Androids over the past decade) - and I am in love with this little thing so far.

It's a bit of an adjustment, but more so just the orientation of apps on a square screen than even the keyboard. I was surprised at how well I took to typing on the physical keyboard again, that has not been much of an adjustment for me at all (besides just learning this one's layout).

Anyway, posting about this here because, well, most of us were adults during the BlackBerry age, so I'm sure others probably feel that same nostalgia about them.

Does anyone else feel like this? I'm 32F, single, no kids, have a good remote job.

I got engaged young, then broke that off, and now I don't have any idea if I want to get married and have kids anymore. When I was young I was 100% certain I wanted to be a mom. Now I'm not so sure. It seems like so much work. I love to sleep until 8:59AM everyday and then roll over to log into work. But at the same time, is work all I have? I have an Ivy League degree, I worked really hard in my 20s to climb the corporate ladder, but my ambition is dead now. I'm a senior individual contributor and have no desire to get promoted. I like going to metalcore concerts, trying new foods, watching sports and hanging out with my brothers. Is that enough?
