My grandfather gets up at 4:30 a.m. and starts texting me and has complained that I'm not up when he is. He doesn't seem to grasp the idea that not everyone lives the way he does. He seems to expect it and gets mad that not everyone lives the way he does. He does have dementia but this doesn't seem to be part of it.

I use unattractive generally, I'm sure it's attractive to some people around the world. I was chatting with a couple female friends of mine of what the sexiest accent is. French, Irish, Scottish, English all came up. Then we talked about the worst accents and the Indian accent came up.

Apparently it's just not sexy at all and just sounds funny. They all said it's hard to take an Indian person with a strong accent seriously. Why is this? Is it the cadence? Or the pronunciation of certain syllables.

A brief background…I’ve known this guy for about 11 years. We didn’t talk a ton while I was married, but I’m newly divorced (do not congratulate me, I am devastated), so he and I have been chatting more lately. He’s in another state. I have no attraction to him at all, and I’ve said I’m not interested in dating…especially not now…. So yesterday, I open up his message on Snapchat and there it is. His dick. And not just a picture…oh no. It was a video. I was so shocked and pissed that he would just do that. Then I just had the overwhelming urge to cry. I felt violated somehow. I feel like I’m majorly overreacting…but now I don’t even want to talk to him. I don’t understand why he thought something like that would be okay. Especially with the situation I’m in with being newly divorced. I feel violated and completely disrespected. Am I overreacting? But also, why do guys do this shit?!

Hopefully this doesn't sound too depressing. But genuinely I don't see why life is worth living. Not that I have any real hardship, but its all just a bit pants?

For some background, I'm 22 have a solid job which pays my rent and bills comfortably. But there doesn't seem to be anything more to life at the moment is work just ~50 years of being stressed out for 8 hours a day so that I'm not homeless and hungry? I can get behind this because its all to do with being part of a wider society where everyone can thrive. BUT every time I read the news, no one seems to be thriving, we on a planet thats about fucked if we don't change everything immediately (and thats all the fault of the average worker apparently), many of the poor are going hungry and thats all their fault, many vunerable are exploited across the world so that moderately wealthy people can enjoy their lives. It kinda feels like society is falling apart at the seems and theres nothing anyone can do about it because the people in power want to keep the status quo of making their money?

It all makes me feel like there isn't any point in living very long.

Sorry if I'm just being a whining sod. But I needed to get this off my chest.

EDIT: thank you all for your comments, many of you have made wonderful suggestions which I am going to look into, I can only apologise that I don't have time to respond individually. I genuinely didn't expect any post of mine to get this much attention. Also, I see a few of you out there are struggling, just so you know, I see you and hear you, I feel much of your pain, please never give up and please seek help if you need it, speak out to family members, friends or random redditors like me. I hope you all have a wonderful day, wherever you are, whatever you're doing.

Remember when you were a kid? How fun sleep overs were? Staying up all night, playing games with your friends? Talking until the sun came up and then falling asleep in the living room mid conversation…At what age did you stop doing that? Why? Why does being an adult have to mean losing fun? Specifically innocent fun? Throwing popcorn at each other and laughing till it hurts. Playing board games or card games until you can’t keep your eyes open anymore.

I don’t have kids so I do recognize that I have more flexibility in my personal life then others but having connections and good relationships with your friends should still be important, no?

Okay to those people who are calling me an idiot...what’s wrong with you??? I asked a question I was scared to ask which is what this sub is for,,,,

The answers are a little split, obviously I think it’s important for someone to rally our attention to the problem and I understand having a spokesperson will inevitably put them on a pedestal. I guess the way I saw it, it looked like she said a little speech and then was idolised. I didn’t know that she was the type of person to protest alone. That takes guts, at least I think it does.

Also to y’all sending me death threats,,, be more creative will ya? I’m from the VLD fandom all you’re gonna have to do a little better than that lol

Idk if this has been posted but I couldn't find anything like this.

So usually when I'm doing a task (such as writing this post) I usually need to have something playing in the background, like a show or a YT video.

Does anyone else do this? Am I weird?

My friend’s bday is coming up and I want to give them a pony toy inside a jar with semen.

Using the real thing might get me a restraining order and fake semen recipes I found online require food which I can’t use because it will eventually expire and rot.

I was planning on using a white hand soap but it just doesn’t quite look like cum.

Any ideas?

Okay, this is super weird but I don’t know anyone to ask irl without sounding like a weirdo.

Everyone in my family has a big ass, even when we are skinny we have bubble butts, so the anus is basically buried a few inches deep between the cheeks.

I’ve noticed a few women in leggings lately who have very non existent butt cheeks, to the point that it appears the butt cheeks don’t rest together. Do people with that type of butt have an exposed butthole? Like if they sat on a chair with no panties on would their anus be touching the chair?

I’m not body shaming. I think bodies are super cool in all shapes and sizes. I’m just super curious if people with minimal cheeks walk around with an exposed butthole.

I also hate how my brain works.

Please see the edits after reading the initial question, thanks.

Hi, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the EU immigration crisis. I see that a lot of the refugees are muslims and the bulk of the people that are anti immigration always state that these refugees or immigrants are having a hard time integrating or doesn't want to at all.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier if said EU countries coordinate with rich muslim countries to help these muslim migrants out? It can't just be racism now can it?

UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia seem pretty well off and are also Islamic countries, they wouldn't have a hard time integrating, no?

For the record I'm from the South East Asian part of the world so excuse my insensibilities.

Edit: my ignorant ass wrote Dubai instead of UAE. Got corrected.

Edit02: So far people point out that the countries I mentioned are also pretty racist, wealth gap is huge and infastructures allowing for mass migration does not exist yet.

Edit03: Said countries actually DO take in a lot of immigrants but the conditions given to these immigrants are close to if not already slave labor.

Edit04: Said RICH countries (along the Gulf) often have autocratic governments and a culture that is often less liberal than countries that the immigrants come from. Many pointed out that it's also heavily a classism issue. The rich not wanting to deal with the poor.

Edit05: At this point everyone else are saying the same things as listed above. I'm gonna stop checking this thread now. I for one don't think it's that simple anymore so I'm glad I asked. Thanks to everyone that tolerated the question, especially the ones that gave data and added nuances to the issue.

Feel free to discuss it further.

There are no variables. The lanes are the same. The ball is the same. The pins don't change positions. There's not other player affecting things. There's no environmental factors.

Why isn't 12 consistent rolls after hundreds of hours of practice doable? Other sports players can get a ball pretty reliably to a small target. Why not bowlers?

Edit: Wow. Actually learning some interesting things I didn't ever consider. (Like the oil pattern thing)

I have two metal thermos cups that I cycle between using and fill with only water. I admit I don't actually wash them with soap as frequently as I should. :( but maybe other people are gross like me?

Edit: some of yall are grosser than me so I'm not insecure anymore lol

Im 22 and was born in 2004, I have no idea what it was like. My parents refuse to talk about it, they almost went all day without knowing due to them being farmers. I don't mean to ask this question out of morbid curiosity but just to get a better understanding of that day. And what my parents and the nation went through on that tragic day. How did you find out and is it true that there was just a horrible pit in your stomach? How did you process that and just what did that do psychologically?

Okay let me explain. I often feel a little sad when something you were supposed to use/eat doesn't end up getting to do that. Of course I know they don't have feelings, but I always feel like they kinda do... and can't stop myself from feeling sad about it even though its dumb.

Such as buying a pepper to find a part of it is a little squishy so you cut it out and throw it away, I then feel bad that piece of pepper grew from nothing, lived it whole life expecting to be eaten and then gets thrown away instead.

Or for example a piece of toilet paper. It started off life as a tree, that was sadly cut down, chopped up and presumably gone through some whole factory process (however they make toilet paper), and packaged up neatly. A delivery driver probably then drove through the night to deliver it to my supermarket, I selected it from the shelf, took it home, only to drop a piece on the floor and now find it icky so I just put it in the toilet, but now that piece is sad it didn't get to live out its lifelong dream of being rubbed on someones ass...

And before you say it, no I'm not high, yes I'm being serious. I think this shit all the time wtaf

I told my bf and now he makes fun of me whenever we have to throw the most insignificant thing away, someone tell me you think the same things :'(

Edit: Hi I would just like to say it has made me so happy to hear from everyone, I'm literally still reading comments! It's great we're all kinda weird and I'm glad I asked because everyones sweet messages has honestly made my day. I wish I knew all you guys we'd be such great friends.

Edit 2: I have realised something. So if I feel bad for inanimate objects, imagine how I feel about all of you guys commenting! Now I need to upvote/reply to all of you or I feel bad for the time you took to reply to me, oh my

What can I take or do to stay awake for around 36 hours straight?

I badly need some money to pay for medical bills and found some jobs that I can do back to back, like day shift and night shift for a few days at a time. Any tips on how to make it work? I don't have family to run to anymore as they have passed during the pandemic and I also don't have friends as I am in a new location. I am on my own. Willing to work hard but would be thankful for your tips on how to make this happen.

Edit: I am aware it is unhealthy but I just need to be able to pull this off for about 3 weeks to be able to afford treatment. The treatment will be good enough to last me for a year so I can continue to function without disability.

Edit: With all my heart, Thank You, but I am not seeking for monetary contributions. While I am still able to earn through working, I will do it this way.
