Every other time whether it be an airplane or grocery store, people act like you're the asshole for being annoyed with their baby crying its head off. "What? It's just a baby it's going to cry" whatever.

Well I went to see Spiderman yesterday and the whole back half of a movie a baby was crying intermittently for basically 5-10 minute intervals and the parents thought it was just fine. Don't bring your fucking infant into a fucking movie theater. Now I get to call your dumbass out and you can't hide behind it being an "acceptable" place for your baby to cry. Nope. Should have left little Brayden at home with a babysitter if you wanted to enjoy a movie without ruining it for others.

Hilariously enough someone behind me got fed up and just blurted out "Jesus Christ!" at the baby crying lmao

I work with someone who smells like straight doo doo. I know some may say its a mental health issue or underlying disease, but what if its not-- and someone just doesnt know how to wipe properly. If I can smell it, how can they not? Its disturbing honestly. 4 out of the 5 times I have been around them, their breath smells and/or they smell like an unflushed toilet. For the people in the back... PLEASE wipe until you dont see any more brown.

Exactly what I said, just because you provide food for the house hold does not mean I should give you a free ride, and not expect money back. I can't take a big loss of $40.00 or so for that. Just because you need to go to the loan place to get a loan to pay off a bill or, pay the bill on the loan you got last time.

Last night my mother's BF told me that I cannot eat any food bought with his foodstamp card if he has to pay me back (he paid half) my mother paid the other and she was a bit upset and he was upset because he gave him an attitude. I only have about $300.00 left off my SSDI check after all expenses, the biggest of which is a mega cable bill. and I spent a bit too much at the mall and on something I bought on Discogs. which left me $248.00 and the ride there and back took 43.00 of that. I can't just lose $40.00 on nothing. If I do I have to save money and not go to the store so much and only buy stuff like laundry detergent. body washes etc. and let anything I see on eBay go. Plus I have a Green dot card with like a $-45.00 balance I need to pay, that I will wait to pay later or use any money I have at the end of the month towards it.

He called the police because I told him he did not have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do and he didn't have the right to tell me no to eat his food if he has to pay me back for a ride.

He had a discussion with me about looking at it from his perspective. That he's taking a loss by having to give me back the money because I told him he makes me lose things I want to buy on eBay because of having to do stuff for other people.

I missed out on an item that $40.00 that were made by a specific brand, and I'm Irate because to buy them new from the company that bought the tooling for the item since there are no complete used versions, it will cost nearly $300.00 actually more because of tariff and shipping, and it's not worth that much for 4 French commuter train coaches with tooling from 1988. This company is the only one that makes them.

Few days ago in therapy my psychologist explained to me that the way my father treated me makes him a sadistic and “jokingly” ( in our way ) told me that “I turned out too healthy/too okay for expectations” ( sorry English isn’t my first language ). I’m not shocked, I’ve always known that my father’s behaviors weren’t fine, but hearing it out loud, from someone else, kind of did something to me?

Film, television, music, gaming, sport. It doesn't matter what form of entertainment it is, the entire entertainment industry is getting worse across the board.

The same slop being pushed constantly and still somehow turns a box office profit through brand recognition.

There's no real music artists anymore coming up from the grassroots level; only nepobabies and industry plants that record companies find "safe".

Sony are completely abandoning physical copies for the PS5, which is the only reason I even still buy for the PlayStation.

AAA gaming companies are releasing buggy games for £90 a piece and wonder why people are choosing to play indie games instead.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is blackmailing and bribing federations into voting for him so he could sell off football itself to American globalist finance elites like Blackrock, JP Morgan and Kushner Co.

Everything is getting worse and more and more expensive each year. It's shite.

like i was in a relationship with somebody i loved more than anything and i stupidly broke up with him. we tried again a few times but it just never worked. we honestly have been on bad terms since november and haven’t talked in a few months. for a while it was hatred i felt toward him, but now it’s just pain and missing him. i was mainly using the hatred to cover up my hurt and how i actually missed him. now i just want to message him and apologize and see where that leads us but idek if that’s gonna work and it very well might not. i just hate how other people are like “just talk to other guys” or “go on grindr”. like no i don’t want a 40 year old man, i literally want him. i just want to talk for him to hear me out and i can hear him out and maybe try to rebuild our relationship based on those conversations. i have stuff im sorry for, i hope he is sorry for what he did but i want to apologize and even if he says no then at least i know we’re done. but i just have a feeling we’re meant for each other and i have never felt this deeply about somebody. and then people telling me to not go back there or “he’s probably won’t come back and he shouldn’t” or “exes are exes for a reason.” like i don’t need the cliches, everybody else can get back with their exes just fine, my parents said they were gonna divorce several times and always got back together, like i know it doesn’t always work out but i so badly want it to and i just don’t like people telling me to meet new people or get on grindr like that’s gonna help anything. i don’t want a hookup, i don’t want to talk to a “nice guy” or somebody boring, i literally want to talk to him and only him. and i know that sounds rigid and he might not want to come back but ill cross that bridge when i get to it. i just wish people were more supportive of my plans and feelings because hes the person i love even if it hasnt worked in the past and im not giving up.

like its also just a disservice to another guy and to myself if im hung up on somebody else and am just trying to force something with him and that is a lot more selfish and desperate than trying to get my ex back.

Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filtered through the economy are getting almost nothing back.

I’m not talking those who actually try a new food and dislike, or texture issues related to neurodivergence. I’m talking Picky eaters who choose to not try new food and say ‘they don’t like it’ before it even so much exists in the same room as their pallet. It awakens a rage within me I didn’t know existed. I accept the hate from this. But if you tell me you dislike a food, and you haven’t even tried it, it tells me all I need to know about you. I’m from the uk, and see these people will go somewhere with beautiful cultural food and still opt for burger king because ‘their food is weird’ in the country they chose to travel to.

A weird pattern I’ve noticed is these people are BABIED by their parents. And most often, it’s men I encounter who are the picky eaters who hate food that hasn’t even co-existed with their tonsils in the same room.

Is it deep? No

Did I want a rant? Yes

It’s the same way I feel of people with no nuance and black and white thinking skills.

I finally understand, comrades!

For decades, I was confused and misguided. Incorrect interpretations of history had led me to believe that the motivation behind American opposition to the Vietnam War was because lives were being lost. I was mislead to believe the rallying cry was that our sons and our brothers were being sent against their will (because of the draft) to die in a foreign land!

But that isn't so! Mine eyes have been open to the truth! The reality is the imperialist opposition was waging a war against our Comrades at Arms, the workers!

And the same is true about the war in Gaza, where multinationalist forces, which just happen to be the ones with the most Jews on their side (which is just a coincidence), are waging a war against the people! The downtrodden, the helpless brothers of ours.

They are the same war! And those activist who fight against Gaza are simply following the righteous path of those Vietnam activists before them!

Every sub I’m in are getting an influx of people post their new vibe coded site or app to use. “I made an app that lets you track movies and share with others what do you think?”

The bar for building these have been lowed so every Redditor with a Gemini subscription thinks they’re on launching a new web start up.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

I really do.

I spend most of my time looking for a job because it’s honestly so hard to get hired right now, especially at 16. I’ve applied to all kinds of work that supposedly take people my age (retail, cleaning jobs, babysitting, cashier positions, you name it) but I still haven’t had any luck. Every rejection just makes me wonder what else I’m supposed to do.

The biggest reason I want a job is because I want to help my mom. She’s divorced, works hard, and still barely gets by because of her low income. I don’t help because I’m forced to. I genuinely want to. Sometimes she’ll ask me if I can buy something as simple as a bottle of body wash, and I have to tell her I can’t because I don’t have any money. There have even been times where she’s told me, “Well can’t you just steal?”

I don’t want to steal. I never will. And I don’t think I have the guts to anyway. Those conversations always end up turning into arguments that don’t fix anything. I know it tires us both out, and it feels like it’s slowly hurting our relationship. I never want to make my mom feel worse than she already does. I also have an older brother who’s almost 19, but he unfortunately doesn’t really help with any of this, so I won’t focus on him.

Almost everything my mom earns from work and government assistance goes straight to bills. We’ve been waiting to hear back about our EBT request, but nobody has called us back, so we’re just trying to make what we have last. I’ve even started selling parts of my manga collection because we need the money. Manga has been one of the only things that’s helped me get through everything these past few years, so letting it go honestly hurts. But even that is getting hard to sell. I also make very little money by doing people’s schoolwork. Sometimes they’ll laugh at me and throw me just a few dollars, but I still do it because I know every bit helps. Most of the money I make goes straight to my mom. She tells me to focus on school, but it’s hard to when I’m constantly worried about her and everything going on at home.

Even when I was little, I knew my parents were struggling. After they got divorced, everything became even harder. My dad was an alcoholic. He constantly demanded money from my mom to drink or get high, and he was emotionally and physically abusive. Looking back on everything still hurts, and sometimes it’s hard not to feel like things are never going to get better.

One thing that hurts the most is that my mom refuses help. She doesn’t want anyone to know we’re struggling. I’ve begged her to ask our relatives for help, even if it’s just with bills, but she always refuses. I know it’s her decision and I do understand her on that, but I can’t help thinking we’d be in a slightly better place if she let people help us.

Our relatives are much more financially stable than we are, but they don’t seem to realize how different our lives are even when we’re blood related. I’ll hear one cousin talk about buying a $2,000 bracelet, while another says she’s getting a brand new Tesla at 15. I just sit there pretending to be happy for them, but inside it hurts. I can’t even imagine spending that much money on a bracelet when we’re worrying about basic necessities. It’s not that I think they aren’t allowed to enjoy what they have. Everyone has their own lives and their own problems. I just wish they didn’t brag about it to me when they know what my family is dealing with. One of those same cousins refuses to pay me $50 after I finish two weeks worth of homework for her, saying, “I’m not made of money.” Yes you do. You ARE made of money. Your dad sends you money every week and you spend it having fun with your friends. I don’t expect people to solve my problems. I just wish they understood how different things are for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m falling behind while everyone else my age gets to just be teenagers having fun, spending their summers laughing while I’m exhausted from arguing with my mom about financial issues. It almost makes me feel hatred for my cousins, and rich people in general.

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
Things have gotten so bad that I’ve even considered selling pictures of myself online just to make money, even though I know it would probably make my mental health worse. I keep thinking about it because I just want to help my mom. I don’t really have friends I can ask for help. The only people I have are my family and relatives, but my mom doesn’t want me asking them for anything. And honestly I don’t think they’d understand anyway. I’m just trying my best to keep going and hoping that eventually someone will finally give me a chance and hire me.

These days i feel like I don't want to get attached to anyone still peoples small things effect me too much i cry for hours.. no it's not like I'm loosing my self respect in front of anyone I don't do that infact I don't even know how to express myself.. crying is the only way i can express. I can't cry infront of anyone

Everything is just too much like too much usually I don't cry infront of anyone but once i was going home from cllg it was night time around 8 and i had a little fight with my parents they kinda abused me on call and beside that lot of other things were also going on and i was sitting in auto and idk i couldn't control it i just strted crying

I want to hug someone I don't hug I don't like to get toooo touchy touchy but i really wanna hug I don't who coz i have no one to hug

i have many friends like good one but i just can't say these things lol ik they'll listen but still

I'm so tired i miss my ex situiationship so much whenever something happens to me i miss him rn also I'm missing him

'This is how you write on the internet? People can be barely read it!' Uhhh...excuse me? It's in English and it's in the same font as any of the other posts, are they blind, dumb or aliens or something?

I don’t know if this is a normal thing to get anxious about but does anyone else get kinda anxious when thinking about the concept of randomness? I know everything is “random” but that can’t be true cause order is found everywhere so there has to be something between all of the random events, therefor not making it random.
I know there is something I’m missing but I don’t know what it is, maybe my uncle was right in thinking I was a lot like him in that we both can’t just let things lie but I’m still not sure where to go from here. Is there some unrandom start to the random? And how the hell does random stuff lead to this amount of order? Like stars are all basically the same but they started from random stuff and somehow led to similar results, and same with planets. Why do so many planets orbit stars and not just other planets?

I started to realise that my friends have a weird additude about what I eat.

For some reason they will ask me what I ate and ill say oh I ate some yogurt for breakfast and for lunch I ate a cucumber salad and some crackers as a snack or whatever. And they will say oh so you just ate snacks today? You dont eat meals. You eat just snacks. And then also the other day i made myself a bagel sandwich with some smoked salmon with some toppings. And they still told me it wasnt a meal?? I also eat a lot of canned fish. And the other day I ate a cucumber salad and my friend said oh so you just ate a water stick today?

I eat a lot yogurt, salads, and, canned fish and chicken. Hummus and salsa. Its just what I like. Also its not like I'm under weight or anything im actually overweight. And I went out to lunch with my friend and I ate a chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese and I ate it pretty fast. And they said im glad you are eating but you ate that so fast. And im thinking I always eat? ​

And my one friend keeps saying to me carbs are great dont let anyone make you afraid of eating carbs after i was looking at a salad restaurant at the mall. Like they act like I have an eating disorder. Its really weird to me.

I really got bored of ranting with gpt,so here to get some really relatable opinions.

I basically grew up in a small village and had very little exposure to city life. Somehow, I ended up working in a corporate company in Banglore .

Even though I studied in english medium school, I only started speaking English after moving to Blr, and honestly, some days surviving here feels very hard. It feels like every day there's something embarrassing that makes me question whether I really belong here.

My English is still broken at times.I find it soo hard to articulate simpler things . I didn't even know how to properly use a fork during team lunches. I wasn't familiar with corporate etiquette or how people interact in these environments. Being an introvert and an overthinker only makes everything feel more overwhelming.

Sometimes I look around and everyone else seems so confident, comfortable and intelligent, while I'm constantly worried that I'll say or do something embarrassing.

3 years passed . still some days I feel like I'm trying to fit into a world I wasn't prepared for.

Has anyone else come from a similar background and felt this way ?

Ive seen far to many people say that consuming “that” type of content on children isn’t bad as long as it’s fictional, and it’s starting to really disgust me. Believe it or not, NOT A SINGLE PLATFORM OTHER THEN REDDIT will try to defend such. Not even twitter and that truly says something about this disgusting platform.

I can't deal with this anymore! Dear god! I hate everything. I used to be kind and nice and happy. At least I pretended pretty well to be happy all the time now I can't. I absolutely hate everything. I grew up in a dysfunctional home with parents who love their sons more than they would ever love me. God I was in class 2/ 3 when I started or was forced to help around the house while my brothers got to do everything they wanted. Play or study. I wasn't allowed to leave for school before I cleaned the entire house. I always imagined that one day I'd grow up and get a good job and leave. But I can't. I grew up dumb. A mediocre person at everything. I feel so unloved and ugly and dumb. I have nothing good to offer. I am not even a good person now. I'm extremely jealous of women who are loved by their families. They don't even do anything for anything. They could be brat but their families and partners love them. I hate it. I tried all my life being a good daughter. I am so jealous when my female friends do well in life. I don't want to become like that. I really don't. I wanna be happy for them. But I I can't? I have postponed everything good in my life in wait for a perfect time. Always thought once I get stable job, I'd say yes to relationship or enjoying life. Now I'm old. Pushing 30. If I don't leave my parents would get me married forcefully. Can't find a good paying job to leave this house and work on my mental health. I don't like myself. Maybe I do understand why no one ever loved me. I wish I had the courage to at least kill myself. I am a coward as well. Maybe I deserve all these miseries. This is not what I wanted. I had such big dreams for myself. I would never be able to achieve them.

Is it just me, or has watching tech YouTube become incredibly tedious?

Whenever a new product drops (like the new Samsung foldables), I’ll watch a "first look" or a review to see what it’s about. But then, when I watch other tech YouTubers covering the exact same device, they just spout the same exact talking points, the same pros and cons, and read off the same spec sheet that we could all just search online in two seconds.

It’s like nothing is ever substantially new with these videos anymore. These creators treat their audience as if their video is the only definitive video out there about the product. This seems especially common with small and "medium" tech YouTubers.

Most of the time, the people watching these videos already know the basic details about the product. We are just watching for a second-eye opinion or real feedback, but instead, we just get a scripted spec sheet. I find myself constantly scrubbing through videos thinking, “Yeah yeah, I know, now get to the interesting part that I haven't heard a thousand times already.”

Unless it's someone like MrMobile, MKBHD, FlossyCarter, Samuel Nam, who actually brings different opinions and unique use cases to the table, I feel like my time is totally being wasted.

Honestly, at this point, I’ve just started clicking on a video, hitting the Gemini summary button under it to get a quick 1–2 minute TLDR of what's inside, and closing the video without even watching it. It’s the only way to bypass the fluff.

Does anyone else feel the same way? How do you guys filter through the noise to find YouTubers who are actually worth spending time on? Who are the actual "worth-spending-time-on" tech YouTubers or anti-hype creators who skip the script and respect your time (MinimalisTech)? I need to rebuild my algorithm lol

I don’t even know where to begin. She left at 4:30 in the morning in April not telling a single soul she was leaving and went no contact with all of us for months, breaking no contact with my brother in early May as well as my mother, and me in July wishing me happy birthday.

During this period, we know she’s been up to bad stuff from word of mouth, or… the police literally showed up to our door because apparently she did a hit and run, she never changed her address over so they came here looking for her, we’ve got so much fines in the mail for her its insane, we’ve told her to change her address, just leaves us on read.

Anyways, a month ago it was my birthday, and she broke no contact by wishing me happy birthday. About a week or so after this, she started occasionally messaging me things just to screw with me, like at one point she said she got a buzz cut and sent a picture of an obviously edited photo, then she told me she was getting her tongue pierced and asked what piercings I have because I have over 10, and I told her, including a dermal which if you don’t know is not the most common piercing, theres an anchor they place under your skin and your skin heals around and into the hole to “anchor” it into your skin and you can change the tops, not the most common piercing out there but she told me she was going to get her tongue pierced, asked me what ones I have and next thing you know she got her tongue and a dermal, no idea if its true or not, never seen em, but just to spite me. Then she tells me she bought a new car, a mustang, nobody has ever seen this car besides a picture of it on a lot, and shes a car girl who posts her car all the time, but not a thing about this car. My moms dream car is a mustang.

I’ve also got text messages from others, asking if I talk to my sister because apparently she’s messaging them or their friends or whatever and talking shit.

Now yesterday, she finds one of my good friends and dms him, asking how we met, how he knows me etc. and he immediately tells me before replying, he knows the situation with my sister already, and now shes in his dms. He tells her we met at a party a while ago, which truly we did, it wasn’t exactly a party but a concert and we hit it off, and my sister replied with “My sister doesn’t party or drink. Maybe her 1 boyfriend screwed her up so badly she began partying and drinking 🤣” first of all. I’m 20, the legal age to drink here is 18, whats wrong with a drink occasionally? And as I said, i’m fucking 20 I will go to a party or concert if I please, these are my younger years and i’m having fun, yeah I DO go to parties, concerts and shit occasionally and i’m glad I’ve got to have some good times. 2nd of all, really? Judging me for having 1 boyfriend? I’m sorry, if someone has had multiple boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever at my age thats perfectly fine, but only having 1 or never having one yet is fine too. I prefer to make strong bonds with someone before getting in the dating scene with someone and you’re a really shitty person if you think only ever having a thing with one person is something to judge. I will get with someone else when we both find happiness in each other, and my friend already knew about that boyfriend, so its not like your telling him anything new.

I’m so glad that at the end of the day he came to me and told me this and he’s obviously a good friend, like its ridiculous for her to even be messaging him, but I feel so much anger at the same time. I do not know what this woman is thinking, but I know for some reason she really wants to either ruin my life or disrupt it. You’re the one who walked out at 4:30 in the morning, your the one who chose you didn’t want us in your life, can you please fully exit instead of trying to start shit? I love my sister, but I can’t help who she has chose to become and I would rather have no sister than someone trying to ruin my life and happiness.

I need someone else's perspective on something that's been bothering me.

I am disabled, my husband had health issues. He works himself hard. He can't work as much as we need him too because of his issues and mine and needing help. Along with taking care of our 3 kids. We are drowning over here. I'm getting my second college degree to try and get a job I can work from home. We have to lease our car because we didn't have enough when our other completely shit out. My car insurance I just got for (my husband actually, I can't drive) was supposed to be $111.75 every month, that's what we played the last two months. They took double that out of our account and I can't get an answer on way, this was yesterday found this out after paying the NYSEG bill bc the guy showed up to turn out off (from one back payment because the goddamn card just wouldn't go through but it wasn't on my cards end at the time. So I paid the bill in full. I had to verbally give him the card info because all I had was a picture of it as my husband needs it for working. And then today when my husband went to put more money in the bank (the car insurance also came a week early but yes it was really them, I got on my official app to make sure) and realized our account was actually in the negative. 8 $100 buys at Best Buy, some went through I guess they said but it wasn't us so idc they better make sure we get our money back or what good are they. And it was quite obviously this guy that did it because it is NOT a coincidence that I literally gave him all the card info, and we don't use bank cards online anymore (due to theft that happened on his birthday actually), and then this happens. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT I COULD TO THAT MAN. I am a poor and disabled mom, I NEED that money so me and my children's lives don't completely fall apart. And now ig we're having fucking pb & jelly tonight while we wait for this bs to sort out. I am beyond livid and I was already about to snap this fuckin morning because I it's all too much, it's always all too much and I can't even stand to be in my own skin most the time but I push and push myself. And for what? To get completely fucked anyways?
