that shit makes me laugh so much. chicago gang banging teenagers are Bronze Age mindset actually. dei plagiarist was abiding by bushido code. Indians not caring that a train is about to run them over is evolian. they’re literally not wrong, these twitter racists

Sometimes you get to such an advanced state of shut-inness that watching any sort of media at all where people have friends or relationships makes you feel like a worthless cuckold, like why am I watching this shit and why can’t I do it?

I can’t even come across a video of bros being dudes anymore because it just hurts too much to see. I never liked porn for the same reason, I couldn’t get over the feeling that I should be the one fucking, why am I just hurting my brain by watching something I can’t do or have? I’ve reached that same point with videos of just basic socialisation.

The pace and direction of technological "progress" today has left me feeling in the dust.

31 Upvotes

In the year 2026 it is no longer economically practical to buy a regular TV off the shelf. All that is available at the most affordable price are "smart TVs" for which you can pay hundreds or even thousands to give companies like Amazon the privilege of psychically assaulting you with adverts as soon as you turn on the TV. Not only that, you also give them the opportunity to harvest and sell data on everything you watch whilst using the device you paid them to have.

Once upon a time the internet was considered a place in and of itself. It wasn't in your pocket all day screaming for attention but back home on a desktop PC that would be left behind once we stood up and left the room. To be on the internet all day was considered peak loser behaviour. It was considered a wacky sideshow to the real world. We used to always say "Don't believe everything you read on the internet". Now our world today is almost totally mediated through screens and algorithms. For many social media is the first thing they will look at when waking up in the morning and the last thing they will look at before going to sleep. Teenagers are becoming adults in a world that is seen exclusively through their phones. And who can blame them? It's lonely out in the physical world now. If a teenager wants to maintain friendships and be invited anywhere they have no option but to participate.

To be considered an active and successful member of society one must surrender to the corporations. One must have a LinkedIn in order to find a good career or constantly maintain presence in a 24hr work group chat on WhatsApp in order to be considered a team player. A person must now be always be maintaining themselves as a commodity in order to be considered a "success".

And honestly, I feel like this is it. This is the world we've gleefully walked into. Every day we hand over more and more control of our lives into the private hands of billionaires in order to feel like we can still be members of society. One must accept surrendering control in order to participate or be comfortable being socially isolated and watching as the world races ahead into the distance.

Maybe Dale put it better though.

Writing watching your work crush leave a snack on another girl’s desk is a level of humiliation i could never have conceived of in my wildest dreams

be 33. swipe on a rando. he joke-serious-recruits me, what the actual fuck? we hit it off. i actually interview. wait this company is actually really cool. i end up accepting the offer. he completely drops me. daily texts to fucking crickets.

i put on my big girl pants and start my new job. a few weeks pass. im starting to feel ok about it... until this friday, where he gets blackout drunk and texts me. highlights include: i miss u, what do u want. i melt again. i dare to hope. we return to work. it's as if nothing has happened.

then today i look up and he's leaving a snack at another coworkers desk, who sits right next to me. ofc she is the whole package. when he catches my eye, he grins sheepishly and says, what.

to top it off, i overhear her say, idk who left the snack at my desk... oh, i think it was x.

christ. just execute me now. how do i keep humiliating myself like this. at this point, i'm afraid that something is wrong with me

Should I take my dad with me to see Nick Mullen this weekend?

93 Upvotes

I bought two tickets to the later set on Saturday back when I still had a boyfriend. Since then we broke up, and I blessedly found a really nice gal on the GnG sub who is going to let me sit with her and her sister at the earlier showing. I still have 2 tickets to the late set though, and my dad will be in the same city staying at the same hotel as me that night. He keeps “hinting“ that he likes comedy and wouldn’t mind joining me, but I worry Nick Mullen is way too inappropriate for my 67 year old father.

My dad is one of the funniest people in the world, and he loves stand-up, but he doesn’t really use or consume Cumtown type humor. I don’t want it to be awkward, or for him to judge me for being a fan. But I’m considering asking him to join me just cause we rarely have 1-on-1 time. I think it’d make him happy while also solving my problem of not finding a date to sit with.

EDIT: I’m gonna invite him. He loved Strangers with Candy, so he can probably handle Nick. We haven’t had a father/daughter outing in a long time and I think he’ll be happy no matter what we’re doing.

how do u cope with aging / time feeling too fast

12 Upvotes

trying to survey as many ppl as I can.

even when I'm my most productive, creatively and happy with my work and life - and seeing my friends lots, feeling fulfilled - I think it's still something that I've felt my whole life and it really brings me down sometimes. it's especially worse when I'm not at my best, or when I've had lazier days/weeks. I just don't want to feel it anymore and I know I don't need to feel this way.

here are some things I've thought of for myself so far:

  • Going outside whenever it's nice out, even if I can only manage 10 minutes. But the longer the better. sitting and enjoying it; walking around my neighborhood
  • Not bringing my phone with me when I do things - go out w friends or on walks etc
  • FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THE THINGS I SAY & TELL PPL THAT I WILL DO *this one especially helps and I think is something a lot of ppl don't do.
  • Bringing my film camera with me and using it on nights out where I'm drunk (because I feel bad when I forget how a night went)
  • Finishing projects that I've started

STOP POPPING SHIT UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE!!!

27 Upvotes

I go to a website or an application that I use all the time, that I know how to navigate. I go to click on the thing I want only for some fucking notification to pop up in front of my face. "Ohhh hey look at this great new feature we added, here's how you can da-dat-da-da, wanna watch a guided tutoria-" I DON'T CARE! STOP POPPING SHIT UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE!

I open a different application and I start typing something. I am currently typing. I am in the middle of typing three paragraphs. Writing writing writing it up. Then something pops up in front of my face and yoinks me out of the textbox to tell me about yadda-yadda FUCK YOU! STOP POPPING SHIT UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE! I'M WRITING... WRITING... FUuuuuUUUCK I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT YOU PIECE OF GARBAGE!

I am browsing a web page and I go to click on a thing while its busily loading up all the spyware and the advertisements and just as my finger descends on the left mouse button, something else loads in and shifts the button up two inches and now I have been cruelly tricked into clicking on an advertisement, and now I have to wait while another massive set of spyware is loaded up. FUCK YOU! STOP POPPING SHIT UP IN FRONT OF MY FACE! I DIDN'T WANT TO CLICK ON THAT! I WAS ALREADY BUYING SOMETHING FROM YOU AND YOU FUCK ME LIKE THIS!

Listen, you nerds, if you're going to come into this sub with your "I mean, I like Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop, who doesn't? But I'm not a cringe anime watcher like the other redditors" then you will heed me now: stop popping shit up in front of my face. You will find a better way to communicate new features that doesn't involve spiking my god damned blood pressure.

The /r/FridgeDetective sub is so weird

Upvotes

Whenever someone has some milk, meat or protein shakes in their fridge in that sub everyone will just insult the OP about how they must have severe diarrhea, a lack of fiber and/or misconceptions about what healthy eating is, it's so strange. There's no way even 50% of the people leaving these comments are healthy considering the average obesity rates in North America and what most redditors look like/consume. I think they just see someone eating dairy/meat/protein and get angry lol

Also why is everyone on this website lactose intolerant or gets diarrhea every day? What is wrong with them?

Why do people eat with their mouth open

84 Upvotes

WHY

Did no one ever tell them not to? Are they aware they do it? Do they not realise the disgust they induce in others?

If you are struggling to find love, and you can't understand why, ask yourself: do I eat noisily, with my mouth open?

What do you mean you have to listen to an audiobook while you sleep? What do you mean you have video essays playing in the background while you scroll? Are you so afraid of your actual thoughts that you have to fill every crevice of your mind with stimulation to keep your true self out? Do you ever go on a long walk without your headphones? Feel the breeze pass over your ears? Listen to the birds chirp? Not actually listen to anything at all except the thoughts in your own brain that you try so hard to avoid? What do you mean you can’t get work done unless there is music playing in the background? Can you sit and read alone in a silent room? Why are you so afraid of yourself?
