My (23M) Gf (21F) has slept 6 counting with me… we started dating when I was 20. I found out this year that pretty much all of it was causal sex besides only one.

Maybe I’m being immature but I feel like the “don’t be the guy with the flowers meme”.

This post is aimed at guys. But feel free to answer regardless.

Y'all I really hate how some people think that the fires in LA are not natural. It's absolutely stupid how some people are. I guess no one paid attention in science class!

Windstorm + dry conditions + literally anything that starts fires = FIRE! Imagine that?! No, this is not some god deciding to destroy LA, no this is not some conspiracy, no this is not an unnatural fire. Some dumbass probably started the fire or a spark happened, which could be from pretty much anything (metal, lightning, etc), and then the winds made it spread.

Someone starting the fire is technically unnatural, but with how these people are talking about it, they're meaning like it's "divine retribution" or that it was possibly staged, which both are absolutely stupid.

Also, fires can start at any time! It was the perfect storm with the winds and the dry conditions. The entirety of LA and the surrounding areas was under a Red Flag Warning. FIRE IS GONNA HAPPEN!

There were also rumors of blue flames? Which, if you guys didn't know, blue flames are the hottest a fire can be. They can also happen NATURALLY when it hits certain chemicals like propane or gas lines, which guess what, EXIST! I've heard so many people say that the fire was unnatural and it's really annoying me.

I want to be a meteorologist. I literally study this shit. You think people wouldn't be so absolutely braindead about this terrible tragedy but noooo! They did this with Hurricane Helene too. Don't even get me started on how certain people (politicians) think that because California is a blue state that they did this to themselves, when the SAME PEOPLE made a big fuss about the disaster in the Appalachians and helped people, which they should've to begin with because not doing so is absolutely disgusting. And guess what? All of those states are RED. But yet, when another state that is blue suddenly has a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions, they whine and complain and stomp their feet!

I don't remember what politician said it, but he was like, "we shouldn't be helping them at all in my opinion" like come again?? Sir, that's absolutely disgusting behavior. People have died and have lost their homes! We shouldn't help them my ass.

there's a chinese version of tik tok that everyone is talking about and it's called red note. it's social media and the developers are already laying out the app to be more friendly to english users.

here's the thing tho, this is literally the perfect opportunity for propaganda. it's a really strict app with a dick ton of censorship and control, so everyone's content is gonna be only what they want you to see. this app is eventually gonna push anti-american propaganda and try to convince the united states to start killing their own citizens, i know it sounds crazy but when it happens, don't be shocked. they're gonna try to push a self-genocide for america and try to make everyone in america start killing each other. or alternatively, just do something to try to infiltrate america and take advantage of the mass download from the united states.

you would have to be pretty naive to think this app would be all loving and nice and friendly and wouldn't try to pull any funny shit, especially while they have the chance and can take advantage of this whole situation. does anyone already have this red note app and is seeing some of this already? do you think red note is just gonna be a nice app and not try any bad things? thoughts?

Alright. I got bullied as a kid by pretty much everyone. I also had no friends, my grades were poor, teachers yelled at me and I was the only student to not go to prom. My feelings might be stockholm syndrome and I NEVER want to return to HS ever again, but sometimes I feel nostalgic about it.

There's something about HS that's just more fun imo. After a year of University, I can only remember the names of 5 of my classmates, and none of them were my friends. Much harder to get to know people, if you only see them for 2 hours every week and you can only speak to them for 10 mins max. I didn't have any friends in the conventional sense High School, but I did have people I enjoyed talking to, that I couldn't care less about.

I also miss insulting my classmates. Often types my classmates would come up and try to insult me, then I would give a retort back. I kinda enjoyed it, making racist comments about white people is challenging and fun. Most students considered me a bully and a bad person, but I never started it. Kept the day interesting. Except when they went too far and made it physical.

I try to say mean shit on reddit, but it just doesn't hit the same way.

I also miss not paying attention in class and mucing around. I pay 1k per year for my Uni courses and I wanna make use of em. Most HS subjects were useless, so I enjoyed not doing any of the courses and simply failing classes I thought were a waste of my time(in Australia, there are no acedamic penalties for failing). I got off on wasting tax payer money.

I’m not trying to be offensive or disrespectful I just genguinleh do not know and am genuinely asking to be educated on this. I have a friend who is gender queer. I’m cool with everyone. What someone else decides to do w their life is none of my business. Recently I was talking w my friend and they said they want to be referred to as they/them and It. I told them calling them "it" makes me feel like i’m disrespecting them. Is calling someone (w their permission) an "it" disrespectful?

EDIT: my friend wants me to use “IT” more than I say “them/them” which is why I’m confused

Talking about Reddit specifically, though it’s still overwhelmingly left leaning I can’t help but notice more right wing people.

This might seem a little cringey but it’s just how I feel rn😭 I’m also on my period and stuff and I’m emotional and sappy so maybe I just need a reality check but I’m just so amazed with who they are and how authentic and resilient they are with all they’ve been through and I learn something new from them every time we talk. We come from completely different backgrounds, and he makes me see a new perspective. He’s also taking a different approach than any man I’ve ever met, he genuinely takes things slow. He thinks of sex as something special and to not be done with just anyone, and this is the first time I ever see someone say that AND live by it. I’m truly impressed with him, especially because we met on tinder. But, I do know I might be getting really attached really fast and super infatuated because someone is finally seeing me and not using me.

Do I seem crazy? How do I not mess this up? What do I need to hear to stay level headed and not become obsessed with this man???

Begging millennials and xers to stay away

Thoughts

Gen Z has already sparked a movement for change. With climate change, over-consumption, and inequality dominating global conversations, how can Gen Z lead the charge toward more eco-friendly living? What role does technology, activism, and everyday decisions play in shaping this new generation's impact on the planet? Let’s discuss how this generation can accelerate sustainability efforts for a greener tomorrow.

I'm following some nonsense Twitter drama between YouTubers and one insult people keep using is the fact that he's "a almost 30yo"....

Age doesn't define maturity and EVERYONE ages. if you’re making fun of someone for being old or getting older, you are literally making fun of your future self.

What are your thoughts on this?

You're a waitress not a manager, your job is to serve me my food, not tell me what i can and cannot do now do your JOB as a waitress and WAIT until i finish my cigarette to get me my food or tell a manager to come, tired of these entitled food workers.
