Title explains itself. Was fishing on a pier for a few hours with no issues until a whole family come and posts up right next to me and proceeds to atart casting in my casting lane. The whole pier was basically empty. Dont be a dick.

As per title I am absolutely fed up of dead beat criminals committing crimes that results in the death of them, and usually innocent bystanders. One example is those idiots doing the motorway/highway trend of driving on the wrong side of road, I am equally fed up of these deadbeat friends and peers then going on to say oh my Son etc was such a good lad he made a mistake. Mistakes don't cause injury or death to other people! They're dead beat criminals plain and simple!

These idiots tend to driving stolen vehicles or uninsured and high on drink or drugs (most time all of the above),and it's innocent people who suffer and have to pick up the costs whether with their lives, or financial losts!

That’s why I don’t eat at everybody’s home. Potato salad is not meant to have raisins in it 😡

Usually I’m off the controversial side of social media. I geniunely can not stand people giving the most horrendous takes for clout, then others jumping on them like starving dogs to a bone, just to fill the OP’s vallet with their thumbs in the end while absolutely nothing is achieved.

But there’s another reason. Majority of the people from my country are geniunely ignorant and hateful. I hate to sound like a self-hating person by talking this way about my nation but it’s the truth. These people know nothing. It doesn’t help that they’re mostly living in harsh conditions, making education an after thought. Very simple example: I’m gay. In any civilized country, avoid the extremists and you should be fine. But here, a well educated artist can and will say the most homophobic shit you’ve heard in your life in the middle of a otherwise tasteful conversation about human rights. Yes we have homophobic leftists. So I simply refuse to interact with the general public unless it’s necessary.

Coming back to the topic of internet… I learned English by myself, out of desperation. I needed to be able to find like minded people, and what better way to do that by learning a language that’s considered common? And for the most part, I got what I wanted. This language has opened the doors of information wide for me. I have finally found a sense of community, with people who got my jokes, who got my pain, who got my worldview, my references… I’m not talking about agreeing. I’m not talking about thinking the exact same thing. I’m talking about simply getting one another. Do you have any idea what kind of privilege that is?

Speaking of references. Let’s see who get’s the reference when I say “Victor’s cult from Arcane” now.

In order to “get” someone, you need to be able to think. I’ve chatted with a lot of people, read a lot of threads, listened to a lot of thinkpieces. Taking a piece of information, and forming your own thoughts and opinions around it. People used to do exactly that. But nowadays. Nobody really thinks. Because somewhere along the way, fueled by the fear of downvotes and dislikes and ratios, and the toxic euphoria of being on the side that’s trampling the other… We have stopped looking for ways to connect, help, understand and broaden our horizons and started to chase the feeling of being right.

“My opinion? Well obviously it’s whatever the latest online consensus on the topic is, which, by the way, you might’ve missed it if you haven’t been online for a few days. And that means you’re scum.”

It’s maddening because you will ask a question online and the answers will be 50 shades of the same thing they all heard from a tiktok, or they will all be fixated on a detail that has recently been deemed bad by the frigging hivemind. “Wdym your parents have a 10 year age gap ur dad’s a predator” (+2000 upvotes 10 awards) -on a post you’re asking about what to get them for holidays.

I’m obviously not talking about the broader topics that we still have to fight to erase off earth. The 17 year old edgelord isn’t a greater thinker for saying H”tler was based. And I’m not talking about embracing all the differences, obviously you don’t just go around agreeing with people who have opposite/ clashing beliefs and ideologies. I’m just saying, whatever happened to building community, actually trying to be helpful with our answers and most importantly thinking for ourselves instead of repeating what we think is going to bring us most online points? To become a community does not mean agreeing on everything and only forming the one true thought in the communal speech bubble. It means agreeing on the things that unite you.

I think the worst in everything that’s going good for me. I almost lost a relationship right now because I thought my partner was being unfaithful. However it was a lack of communication and that got solved which I am really surprised with. But even after all of that I still have some thoughts of being deceived. She told me I think the absolute worse which is true and I really wish I could understand why I think this way to begin with. I think I have hella trust issues hit at the same time I think it goes deeper than just trust issues. I wish I could fix this about myself I don’t know why I always think this way.

Hey look, pickmeisha rhymes with your name.

I told D to never text me when he was with you because you sounded like a piece of shit person and a bad mother.

First thing I heard about you was your name, your son's name (another D), your ex's name. And I gathered all your phone numbers, email addresses, and your home address. And I was going to send you the video evidence I had of D throwing me, grabbing and pushing me, screaming at me, and throwing my stuff out of the apartment, the one he's moving out of next week.

Second thing I heard about you was an "emergency" happening the same weekend as my getaway with my boyfriend. Emergency that was happening 3 weeks in the future.

We only shared the bird because it was D's way of controlling me. He FINALLY gave up that whole "custody battle" because you were his new toy to play with.

Third thing I heard about you was you love bombing him with wrestling tickets when you had only been dating less than a year. And he gave you a puzzle. Because you're basically strangers.

The FORTH thing I heard about was how you lied to him about who you were fucking besides him, and he found out about it at a party in front of strangers. To humiliate him. Nice.

Trust me, he deserves way worse. But then... I heard the fifth and final thing about you:

You were going to New York with your other married fuck toy, and so D had to do the custody exchange for D your son.

Like he was a piece of luggage.

That was the last thing I heard about you because I said you sounded like a fucking piece of shit and an abuser and I didn't want to hear anything else.

Except for SOME reason, in October 2024, I get a call and I hear you and D were going to wear couples costumes (barf). D is asking me about this and that where to find and shop. And I straight up said, why the fuck are you calling me about YOUR COUPLES COSTUME, GO CALL YOUR GROSS ASS GIRLFRIEND.

I had to remind him to treat you like a girlfriend. Probably easy to forget since you are everyone's girlfriend. That married boyfriend also sounds like a fucking piece of shit as well.

Anyway, tonight, D told me you're engaged and moving in. I asked him if he told you how he's an abuser and he said yup she's fine with it. Obviously, he didn't say like that. But that's the gist of it.

So pickmeisha, fuck you, I hope your ex gets full custody. Enjoy getting tossed around (I know that you do like getting beat in bed) and the lying about money, and the rotting teeth, and the [redacted] loving in-laws.

Pickmeishas like you are why evil sick fucks like D get to walk free when they deserve to die alone in a gutter.

I knew he was doing on purpose one random day, after I'd been in several months of therapy.

He said something triggering, something he knows is insulting towards me. And instead of reacting, I just stared at him and asked, "What are you doing?" And his expression of fear confirmed that he knew what he had been doing all those years.

The only reason he stopped physically assaulting me is because I called the police. He had grabbed me, thrown me, then grabbed all of my clothes and tried to throw them down the stairs, and I stopped him by blocking the front door (the same apartment you go to to get his hands put all over you in violence, he learned that by slamming me against that door). The cops came and called it a verbal argument, okay!

I just read through the text messages after that incident and all he cared about was possibly not getting the job he's at now. You know, the job that made you think he's a safe person to be around your son.

I know now it was never an accident or "anxiety" that caused him to chase me, throw me, bite me, spit on me, slam doors into me, slam me into walls. He's an abuser and her clearly takes no accountability for purposely triggering me so he could play victim or say "both of us are in the wrong!"

I know you don't care about ANY of this because you are also an abusive piece of shit who also deserves to die in a ditch.

Good luck on the move to La Habra.

Y'all ever be on TikTok scrolling mindlessly then see a video saying "I'm sorry baby, people can't press 4 buttons so we can't pay for your treatment" It makes me feel like a pos if I don't. Like why are these people forcing our kindness.its manipulative and just disgusting.

ugh. don't want to hear about it. just want to crawl under the blankets and pretend nothing matters.

...money which I will probably never have access to. I envy those who do.

...makes Carrot Top look like George Carlin.

He isn't funny. He doesn't tell jokes. He sucks.

The only thing dumber than Michael Blaustein are his audiences. He is one comedic degree of separation from "Ow My Balls!" in Idiocracy.

I don’t even know where to start, but I am filled with so much pure, unadulterated rage and hatred for this man that I feel like my brain is going to short-circuit. I am venting here because I refuse to keep dumping this entire mental load onto my partner, who already has to live in this psychological torture chamber every single day.
 
My partner works on a tiny three-person team: his boss, my partner, and one other coworker. This boss is the biggest, most hateful, miserable asshole I have EVER met.
 
The guy sits on his ass all day texting people, messing around, BSing, and running off to do random personal errands—meanwhile, he yells, berates, and verbally abuses his team, calling them names the second a small mistake is made. He is a massive misogynist, racist, bigoted POS who literally owns Nazi gear (absolute shocker, right? I mean, I know he is a history buff, but like read about it, don’t BE about it). He also doesn’t believe in mental health or mental illness, which is peak irony because he has the most severe, unchecked psychological issues on the planet. He ignores his own kid's clear signs of needing help, too.
 
On top of all that, I know for a fact he steals from the company, but hides it well enough to not get caught because he didn’t at their place prior. Also because he acts like such an aggressive bully, everyone just walks on eggshells around him and don’t want to go through the unnecessary effort of going to battle with him (GOD I wish I could be the one to rip him a new one … a person can dream)
 
Naturally, he hates my guts. Because of that, my partner practically has to hide our relationship at work. He couldn't even tell his boss that we went on our most recent vacation together, because if he did, the boss would have made getting time off an absolute nightmare. My partner can't even share basic updates about our life or talk about me without feeling like he's walking into a trap. It hurts so much knowing my partner has to hide parts of us just to get through his work week.
 
The petty control is UNREAL. Last year, we went to their company Christmas party. My partner was dealing with a knee issue and my heels were slowly killing me, so we left a little early (we are also people who go to bed at like 9:30PM soooo staying out late is totally not our late-twenty something thing hahaha). We walked around, checked things out, and danced a couple of times (this was the highlight of *our* night because we got other people to come dance too and it really lifted the atmosphere since no one was dancing lol). The boss and his wife, and a couple other coworkers just stuck to themselves as wallflowers the whole night anyway (I assume judging us from afar), and my partner didn't care about hanging out with them – I checked with him three times before we left for the night on if he wanted to say goodbye to them, but his knee was bothering him so much that we just dipped. But fast forward to this year? The boss actually asks my partner, "Are you going to the Christmas party, and if you do, can you come ALONE?" My partner dodged it and told him he had better things to do, but it's so obvious the boss thinks I'm the problem (he is fully convinced himself that I am some evil mastermind ruining everything).
 
I want this man's absolute demise. I hate feeling this powerless. I hate how his existence bleeds into our relationship and stresses us out.
 
How do you deal with this level of consuming hatred for someone who holds so much sick control over your partner's daily life? Has anyone dealt with a boss this completely deranged, and how did your partner finally escape/how did you help them manage? (p.s., his boss has been in the industry/in this area for a while and has threatened he would blackball him from this industry which is why he has a fear of leaving after becoming such a strong & capable person in his role)

When I purchase a product online, unless it's Prime, I never know who the carrier may be. This aspect of buying online just sucks.

Prime, USPS, and UPS all do a fine job. Hats off to you folks. However, there is this other carrier (name omitted 'cause you know) that will turn a wet dream into an eight legged nightmare.

Sellers should let us know who the carrier will be before we hit the "buy" button. I mean delivery is part of the transaction and if they're using anyone except the carriers I named, we should know beforehand so we can opt out of the deal then and not be disappointed later.

I'm keeping a list of online vendors who use this sorry excuse of a carrier. You won't sell to me again.

Long story short, I work at a facility on my college campus and I've been there for about 2 years now. I finally got the courage to apply for a manager position (who only makes like $1.50 above min wage anyways) and felt confident about my application. I didn't get selected and felt fine about it until I had my debrief with my pro staff today. They went over all parts of my application and complimented me for the most part, with the only feedback being grammatical/ formatting corrections. At the end, we started going over my short response questions that I put a lot of effort into. My supervisor pointed at 2 phrases she had underlined and told me they "just didn't sound like me" and "sounded generated." I was genuinely confused because I truly didn't use ai to write it, so I sat there in silence for a second. She repeated herself and another staff asked something about grammarly to try and give me an out, I said I had it (even though it wasn't even turned on) just to get out of the conversation. It honestly feels like an insult to my character and I'm not sure why they'd think I'd risk my reputation there after so long by doing that. The sentences she underlined didn't even make sense and I have no clue why she thought why she did

it is INSANE how common this is among native english speakers! honorable mentions: they’re vs their vs there and breath vs breathe. this is first grade shit 😫 why and when did being dumb become so acceptable?

I'm currently in my 5th year in my undergrad, and I went to my cousins house tonight to bug them for a bit. My aunt knows that I'm in school for music, but I guess didn't know what the degree title was specifically. While having dinner she asked what my degree was, so I told her Bachelor of Arts Honours. She then following up with 'then what's your thesis?'. I don't have to write a thesis, it's considered an honours degree since I'm specializing in music and its not considered a 'general degree'. She then said it 'isn't an honours degree, then', and that it was a liberal arts degree. I'm in performing arts, so it can be categorized as a liberal arts discipline, but it's still an honours degree. Also, I've been in school for my degree for 5 years now and switched to my BAH 4 years ago, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm taking and it's classification. She just didn't want to be wrong and it got on my nerves 😭

1. I moved to a new city with no family or friends, no one to hang out with unless someone comes over from my city.
   
2. I have a horrible toothache because I ate too much candy from being upset about everything (I’m an adult I still like my candy)
   
3. I was double charged today after buying food.
   
4. My insurance premium went up about 2000 a year due to someone else’s incompetence and it looks like there is nothing I can do.
   
5. I work in tech sales and our app crashed and I literally can’t sell because the sign up link doesn’t work. A big chunk of my earning is commission based.
   
6. Some racist guy came up to me and said do you even have a work visa? I have been here for 11 years and I’m a citizen with no accent, I just loom different.
   
7. My car is about have no insurance soon and I can’t drive.
   
8. My winter tires are 10 years old and I gotta change them even if I do get insurance.
   
9. I have lost 33 KG weight and as a result I’m just constantly miserable. Food was truly a big source of happiness.
   
10. I don’t have health care currently. Like literally if I go to the hospital this week it’s gonna be 10s of thousands of dollars.
    
11. I have issues getting sleep, every morning I feel pissed.

I’m 20 years old and completely lost in life right now. I feel like my entire life got flipped upside down within the span of 2 months. I got into uni while on Accutane which made me feel numb about it and not care. A day before I started classes my ex of 3 years and 4 months broke up. A guy started talking to me and I basically got attached way too quickly cause I was trying to replace my ex. I opened up to him way too quick and told him personal stuff. 2 month later after my midterms we talk and say we should take a break because we messed up the beginning. Now during the break I’m realizing that he said things at the beginning of the relationship that I am disgusted by but put on the side cause I was going through it. Now I’m also scared to end it because I feel like he’s going to tell my stories to other people (we have a common friend group). I know I am in a sunk cost fallacy. I need to end it and I don’t even know how. I don’t even know how I feel about my breakup. I failed a midterm badly and now I’m trying to figure out what to do. I keep waking up with the worst heart palpitations as if I’m having a heart attack. My accutane is making my joints hurt. I’m trying to enjoy life at the same time and go out but I also barely have time to workout. Im so tired.

I have to create a spoken book report that is due tomorrow. I am only 100 pages into the book while my teachers think I have completed it. I am unsure if I should accept defeat or try to read the book as fast as I can. I am genuinely unsure of what to do at this point.

Maybe it's just an odd fluke but it feels a bit like I'm being singled out

It's disheartening and disturbing that there is a SUCH a lack of empathy in current day society. What happened to kindness and helping others out? I don't know if it's due to the social isolation that GenZ experienced during their developmental years (because of COVID), or whether it's because times have changed but I feel as though there is such a lack of human decency from GenZ, as a member myself. I strongly believe that COVID and the such high exposure to the internet and anonymity that it provides has made so many individuals bystanders to either situations online or in person. If somethings wrong SAY SOMETHING. Who cares if you're going against what the crowd is doing??? DO THE RIGHT THING and PUSH & ADVOCATE for it. I'm sick and tired of hearing children getting hurt either by others or themselves because nobody did anything to prevent it. Bullying has been out of control. I truly wish there was less of a desire from both my generation and people in general to be liked from the public. If we didn't as much, there would be more people stepping up and calling either for help or for attention when issues arise. Please, I urge you all, if you haven't already, to start thinking independently and critically. Think about what is right or wrong, argue ethics. Stop waiting for someone else to do something when YOU can.

I'm also sick and tired of the tremendous amount of people who always complain and never do. Seriously, if you have enough time to sit around and complain, DO SOMETHING to support/help! There are so many ways, either active or passive, to push for what you believe should be done/is right.

I wish I didn't feel so alone in this fight for bringing back the unity that humanity once had.

I've lost 30lbs in 4 months and now on maintenance

I should be proud of myself but i have these habits that ruins my mindset.

I will put on a specific shirt to wear to work or to a event because initially, I feel confident in it and want to show off my weight loss/muscle shape. But before I leave, I start recording multiple videos of myself in that exact same shirt to check my shape and see how my physique looks. This goes on for weeks. Like lets say a event is 2 weejs ahead and im already recording my body in certain shirts i like and watch it throughout the day and the next day and the next day.

When the day actually comes it turns out I look hideous and "fat" in it even tho i spent so much money and time on that shirt/outfit.

This cycle repeats even right now for Halloween I want to wear a pumpkin shirt for work. I recorded myself wearing it and walking in the shirt to see any imperfections or if it covers my body properly but also shows my muscles I worked for. I did this for 2 weeks straight buying so many Halloween shirts and yet some fit me well but I watched it so much that i leave it in the corner.

It's such a waste of money but I can't stop. I go to the same clothing store atp I think some workers recognizes me (or its all in my head).

Dare I say Im obsessed with my measurements and asking mutiple internet searches if these measurements are what body shape. I have a specific one I want and so i want to reassure myself that im near my goal.

This is like everyday..or at best 3 times a week that I do this and I sit there for hours usually 1 or 1 and a half obsessing about it and even on pintrest just jealous of the body they have that I can't.

I want to stop.

My boss is one of the most bafflingly stupid individuals I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. I have a delivery job and this man’s perception of time literally breaks reality, and he’s at least partially serious (probably also malicious). He will tell me that a 40 min drive is actually 20-30 minutes. Mind you I have google maps, and have driven it time and time again. I will tell him my work will take me 7 hours. He will call me after 5 YELLING at me that I should have been done. His temperament contributes greatly to my burning dislike for the man. He’s short, rude, interrupts me, disrespects me and will hang up on me. He is literally the only reason this job isn’t good for me. He’s also illiterate and reads at like a 5th grade level which is kind of sad and probably points to why he seems to have deficiencies in critical thinking.

Btw this man will yell at me one minute, then call 20 minutes later and be chill. And the truly sad part is this guy is in a long list of people and bosses that I have met, who have been truly dysfunctional, and who possess child-like control over their bodies and minds. The funny part is that while I’m blue collar, I suspect the white collar world is the same, perhaps more insidious because it is better at obfuscating these things. I actually know it is, at least based on discussions with my friends. The modern workplace is about demeaning yourself, accepting whatever clown reality that the company believes in, being duplicitous, deflecting blame and above all, surviving. This isn’t exactly groundbreaking stuff here but holy fuck my boss is something else.

This is just random but it's frustrating having to constantly move my arm so the lights come back on. I'm sorry I don't dance my ass out while taking a poop in a rest room, just stay on till I leave! Even just washing my hands not enough for this light to stay on

Title says it all. I can’t stand dogs. They are awful!

Dogs smell, slobber everywhere, jump on you, scratch you, bite, tear up furniture, make houses smell, and they shit and piss wherever. Not to mention all the hair.

I visited a friend who has a dog. Immediately upon arrival the dog just barks at me OBNOXIOUSLY loud and tries to bite me.

Fast forward to later, he decides to sprint at me from the kitchen as I’m sitting on the couch, and he jumps straight onto my face.

This scratched my face and neck badly, and ripped my shirt. I began bleeding from this and the owner doesn’t even discipline the dog. They just say “oh he does that”.

BRO FUCK YOUR DOG.

IM SO SICK OF THIS.

i remember there was this one time at a family event where they had a father daughter dance, 12yo me and my 9yo sister were the only daughters who didn't get to dance that day. we watched all of our cousins dance with their dads from a far pretending to be uninterested. we could have danced that day if only my father wasn't a deadbeat.
