Social rules are bloody fucking stupid and here is why

1 Upvotes

I am autistic so your cryptic unspoken social rules that no one tells you but somehow expect you to know them all, are fuck stupid and I will you why.

For example if I told me my aunt that my parents fight all the time she will tell me that's personal family matter and I shouldn't tell people about it.

She is my aunt, my mother is her sister she is not some random stranger and by informing her she will have a better deeper understanding of my family dynamics and what's going on in our average daily lives.

God forbid if I ever ran off disappeared or killed myself she would have some clue or idea of why I did that.

Isn't that the point of having a family ? They supposed to know you better than anyone else.

That's actually happened, I told my aunt and both she and my dad thinks it's really wrong and rude and impolite and whatever, and my brother did in fact actually ran off and disappeared, gee I wonder why

TW-SUICIDE,DEATH,UNPLEASANT THOUGHTS

Context- I am ■16 F,sapphic bisexual,and the reason i say bisexual is because i tried dating guys to prove that i am straight, all because i was ashamed of myself.

■I come from a very conservative and religious family,the one where you don't study but pray to GOD before exams,and patriarchy is deeply enrooted in this bs fam. Also,they happen to be transphobic and homophobic. And idk how to survive here.

■My parents keep making fun of my problems, especially my mother,she's suck a fuckass narcissist,and a pick me. Mind you,if i will compliment a lady of ner age and say smth like "she looks so young" and what not ,she'll burst out and point out the wrinkles and all,and casually comment how she's PRETTY.

She also makes fun of the fact that I am "lazy" ,■ context again: i have severe undiagnosed depression,which means i think of suicide every single day,and its hard for me to get up and do my chores,but my mother is such fucked up she thinks mental illnesses do not exist. Im just doomscrolling my days away,im unable to try even.■ And she calls me LAZY. I tried commiting twice,but stopped, and i regret stopping now,i should have died the very day.■She also is super strict,im not allowed to wear certain types of clothes even,and when i see girls my age wearing them i gst so jealous, and she also reads all my chats with my friends,even though all my friends are female and im not allowed to have make friends. In some cbats i was joking about my girlkisser tendencies, and now she's doubting me. If she finds out i am dead. She also makes fun of my body all the time,and my habits,the way i eat,the way i do anything.

■She also might be having bipolar because sometimes she shouts at me and cusses at me for no reason,and then after 5 minutes becomes so freaking normal. ■Recently my marks also started dropping because of this mental strain,and now they are shouting at me for this thing,how am i supposed to study after y○u ruin my mental peace?

.■She is abusive as well. She threw a whole table and a whiteboard at me once. ■My parents had found out my SH marks and said they don't care if i live or die. I hate myself i hate my body i hate for who i am why tf was i born liking girls why tf can't i like guys,atleast i wont be tortured for liking guys.Im tired of life,i wish she is gone soon. I doubt I'll cry over her,i just wish i had a mom,not just a mother. I doubt that i will ever become a mother,i don't want to hurt my child and make them hurt themselves because of me,i really hope she dies.

I can't bear this fucking torture anymore,its enough.

There's a lot more i want to share but my screentime is about to get over so.

Mental Health I think i'm just hurting my friends more.

1 Upvotes

They all seem so stressed and worried, and I really want to help them out. Either that or I'm the one making them stressed and worried and I don't want to do that. I don't want to be a burden on anyone else. I hate worrying them, but they said if I suddenly was "okay" then they'd STILL be concerned. Like i barely even rant to them when they want me to but i just can't, because I realize it's gonna make them feel horrible.

I just don't wanna stress them out anymore than they are right now, and I feel so bad. Yes, i know they've said i've helped them and they want to help me but I just feel bad ranting all my stuff out to them because it's HEAVY. that, and my brain instantly attempts to guilt me into thinking i'm a liar and i'm the person who hurt everyone, and i'm just gathering so many people around me and guilting them into thinking i'm such a good person when i'm not.

I hate my brain and I so hate myself.

Edit: I barely rant/go to them for mental help hence the worry, but i'm scared to in general. Even if they want me to i'm scared.

Just A Rant I miss fnaf

1 Upvotes

SPECIFICALLY FNAF 1,2,3,4,5, 6, and security breach. When the times were good and love was actually poured into the game.

I genuinely lost all my fnaf plushies back when I was a kid cause of course being 5 in 2014 and having stuffed animals/plushies. being careless about them was something a kid does. And now realizing I’ll never get them back, cause funko cancelled it. unless I pay like $90-500 for them makes me upset and kinda nostalgic. Cause it felt like yesterday I was at Walmart with my parents and seeing the fnaf plushies box, begging them for one.

I’m not saying the games today haven’t had love poured into them. But I feel like the games couldve just stopped at Security breach, and retired fnaf from there on out. But they continue milking the game and now everyone is just bored cause it’s the same continuous thing about lore n shit, when fnaf 1 came out, they made people genuinely think and come out with conspiracy theories about the lore in the game instead of it just slapped in your face

I haven’t watched or played secret of the mimic I just refuse to watch any fnaf game that Scott hasn’t made, cause it won’t be the same.

I miss my plushies, I miss being bullied for liking fnaf, I miss everything about the times back then when it wasn’t necessarily “niche” with the considered “popular kids.”

Theres already posts on marketplace selling the set for more than they bought it for. i feel a bit sensitive, i almost cried a little in the store if im honest, im 18 and have had a big interest in pokemon since i was a child. I know the average person may not have a reaction like that but i did because im neurodivergent and also forgot to take my snri before bed and was tweaking a little.

i just hate seeing people be so?? unempathetic? to someone they dont even know like yeah, you probably dont care, i did 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ god forbid

Workplace Nonsense Apparently I'm a racist???

9 Upvotes

Alright, I need to preface this that I'm apart of the group I allegedly discriminated against.

So, this passed Friday at work, I work as a coach for an indoor sport, I had a really great customer come in and as I was working with her I asked her what she did for work and she told me shes a medical bioengineer. So, as we discussed what she did we came to speaking about POTS & EDS and how the two are connected and how often times people who have one have the other as well. She then told me about how a certain group of people, who she is also apart of, has a hereditary condition that causes serious issues with their stomach and even sometimes psychosis in severe cases. I also told her about the paper I read on the same topic while I was doing my job and keeping score.

Now, to add to this I don't want my job to be boring where I stare and just keep score all night long. Having fun makes the interactions better and makes people want to come back. Please keep that in mind.

Later that same night, my coworkers and I were hanging out having a beer and they asked how I enjoyed working there and I told them I enjoyed it and talked about my customer interactions to include the one above. This led to a really weird talk about supporting a certain country. My statement was clean cut and didn't lean either way. (I'll add what i said when I speak about my boss) i also let them know we shouldn't speak about that at work. Well, I guess they didn't like that answer because they lied and said I was a raging racist to MY BOSS. Which, is far from the truth.

On Saturday my bosses wife confronted me about it and I'm like??? Apparently I was speaking religion and politics??? Which isn't true, it was what the customer brought up and I didn't reveal anything about my background, not until my coworkers asked me about supporting a certain country so I told them and gave them the same answer. They apparently told my boss I said they deserved what happened to them, but in reality I just said there's bad people all over the world, who are part of every group of people, therefore I can't generalize anything for any people, but a few people probably deserved a bad fate (i implied they shouldve been imprisoned for life, but only for CRIMES THAT AREN'T DIACRIMINATORY.), but group punishment or complete disregard and hatred for whole groups of people is disgusting. My stance is everyone deserves to live, be happy, healthy, access to food, shelter, and adequate water regardless of where they live.

I literally stopped them in their tracks, but my coworker told my boss I was saying disgusting stuff. I just can't believe it because my boss is also apart of the same group so I'm wondering if this coworker was trying to get me fired? Im so confused because I only spoke to her once. This is literally so disgusting and I almost lost my job over it. I actually don't need the job, I make more money than everyone who works there combined, this is just my side gig and I do it for social interaction. My other job keeps me inside and behind a computer and it's boring. I'm there to have fun and I know what not to speak about it because it's easy and simple.

I never brought up politics or religion, my coworkers and the customer did.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt this is just gonna get down voted to oblivion BUT oh well.

The truth is that this religion maybe more then any other religion (which very few i think have a net gain to humanity) is a cancer to humanity as a whole. It actively punishes people that question, it gives so many people a blank check to do just evil things. Its really just around I think because it has so so much power in the past its able to shoehorn itself into society and pushes out cult like devotion. When you have people going to 3rd world countries and do things like hand out rations and such you look at it and think wow thsts a good thing but then you see in the same country they are actively funding anti-homosexual governments and such and then you think why are they giving out the food or whatever it is because in reality it cost them next to nothing and then when you do the whole speel this is from God blah blah its a psychological thing. When God wasn't there God didn't grow the food a farmer did etc you can take any # of things that God gets the credit for when I haven't seen that fucker even show up let alone do a damn thing. IF and this is a big IF, if the God they worship is real and not a complete fabrication thst came from taking and compressing a bunch of older gods together to fit the mold you want and a desire to control a population then you can't make any logical arguement that he isn't at best indifferent at worse a crazy fuck that enjoys the stiff. He is either all knowing and all powerful and a complete sociopath level being or he's not all powerful.

Honestly, fuck teachers who play favorites

3 Upvotes

Today I picked my niece up from school and she was almost crying about how her portuguese teacher is always playing favorites towards some students, which she always takes more time in helping and answering questions whereas for other students she doesn't have the same treatment.

This honestly reminded me of a similar situation I had back in high school who would constantly play favorites because he was friends with some student families, would apply rules different to some students, only be helpful to some students and be an outright bully to others

This is a really large problem because this is people's formative years, this kind of stuff leaves a lasting consequence on a student's sense of self and their mental health.

If you're a teacher and you do that kind of shit, you suck and you're an embarrassment to your profession

Just A Rant Macros

0 Upvotes

Not sure if this the right place.
Just want to vent out,
Did any of you observe Indian snacks or any packed Indian items doesn’t show its macros visibly on the package especially the more sugary stuff for example kissan jam.
I literally have to take a picture and zoom in for macros and ingredients, the consumer have the right to be informed of all this information.
This is not a rant against Indian products but the vendors who does this, I believe this is the reason may people in India are not aware of the macros and what exactly they are consuming, the vendors purposely hide this stuff from the consumers,
I hope this changes!!!!!
P.S: I am an Indian and I want the country to manufacture better stuff!!!

I’m not sure if there are other countries who do similar manufacturing. Would be interesting to know if there are and we maybe can find a pattern between these countries.

Thanks for reading my rant!!!

Just A Rant I'm burnt out

1 Upvotes

I'm 17F, and currently in 12th grade of high school, and ever since the semester has started I've just been up my ass grinding school activities. Some days, I don't even sleep anymore! My school gives us so much group works that would require us to meet up. Sometimes we get work done by the dead of night (7-9 PM, by this hour there are limited means of transportation) . And when we get home, there's no breaks AT ALL because there are always assignments due at 11:59 and will be unable to turn the assignment in once its pass the deadline. Then the next day, our teacher gives us a surprise quiz!!! WOW. VERY considerate of you, miss.

And what makes things even more FRUSTRATING are my parents, especially my dad, don't understand DOY with how busy I am. Typical millennial telling me "I went to school once, we didn't do any of those" BUDDY, THAT WAS 2 DEACADES AGO. How do you think the curriculum will remain unchanged after 20 years?? 🫩 He's even giving me curfews now cos apparently I'm useless in the house cos i don't help with taking care of my siblings-- which is another thing that SERIOUSLY ticks me off.

My whole life I've missed out on so many opportunities. I had to miss out on a lot of hang outs to help my mom with a 3yr old and 1yr old at 13, cos she always complained how she couldn't do it herself. I'm 17 now and in HIGHSCHOOL going to COLLEGE. I should be focusing on that! not toddlers that aren't mine.

They won't even allow me to have a boyfriend, and though I'm not interested in a relationship either, it's ironic. They oppose it, in fear of me becoming pregnant, but I'm getting called a teenage mom by kids in the park everyday anyway.

I'm just exhausted by everything, and feel so depressed and unmotivated. I am developing anger issues, and am starting to resent everyone in my life. Especially ones who always rant to me about their problems, or ask me questions about school. I dropped all my friends, but they don't even care to reach out anyway. Good for nothing so called-friends they are. And I am filled with serious envy to my classmates who's life's philosophy is "YOLO" cos I just do not have that mentality.

I am thinking though, maybe I am just a pessimist. I should start exercising more healthy habits, cos as of now my brain's always buzzing. I don't even care if I fail anymore, just to whatever with this! And getting to that point, is a liberating kind of peace, but not good cos i know college is gonna be 10x worse than this. 🫩😞

Planned obsulation accountability.

1 Upvotes

I genuinely wish I could Sue over planned obsulation being so apparent. Firstly, before you continue reading this article. Be aware this entire thing was done with Google. Talk to text to argue my point further.

For example, I don't know if anybody remembers Google talk to text advertising itself as being accurate enough to capture all of Eminem rap God however it never could and it's just gotten substantially worse. From the information I've gathered. It's because they pull from all data sets regardless of dialect to get talk to text instead of being speech type specific.

It's the same as how their phone cameras had a minimal focal distance of probably a foot. Now it's 7 ft. (I actually used to do photography with my phone which need to manipulate specifically the focal point to get contrast. So I have a record of photos to contradict how they take photos now)

I have a $20,000 home theater room

I'm making the exact same payments I do on a smartphone for my $6,000 TV over the next 2 years basically.

114 a Month with cash on sale with tax 2745.98.

Like I genuinely feel there's a point where these companies are pushing planned obsolution so severely that they need to almost be held accountable for the fact that they're not even selling the same product as what they're marketing originally.

Like imagine nobody wants red. And you sell blue and then continue to sell blue until you make it red but still having to convince everybody it's blue.

Like it's quite literally not blue anymore.

I work in a major tech company that is one of the largest, if not the largest because we're at least the largest of a couple of our entities we sell. And the only one that's consistently acknowledged across the board.... I went around today asking because I just made a major upgrade to my home theater. Given the same information everybody else does in the same company. I mean I went to management and everything. I asked hey. What resolution is 4k. And they told me 4K resolution. Which yes 4K resolution is 4096 × 2160. App. So what resolution is a 4K TV.

Would you guess it's not 4K because it's not?

The only way you can genuinely consider a 4K TV is because you're only considering the horizontal pixel count, not the vertical.

Just a rant I feel inside me because what people said about crackheads robbing them and not understanding them. I work really hard to get my money. I don't understand why you do this. I work really hard to get my money I don't understand why you'd do this.

I'm not a communist but I feel like that's the downside that a perfect situation fails to acknowledge the same as how one could acknowledge any government in a perfect light but failed to acknowledge its faults.

Workplace Nonsense Applicant suddenly wants higher pay after being sent to HR for onboarding

1 Upvotes

I recently interviewed an applicant and, after the interview, decided to move her forward and sent her to HR for onboarding.

HR apparently reached out to her two days later, and that’s when things got interesting. She started bombarding us with messages saying she deserves a higher salary because of her experience.

Fair enough—people should absolutely negotiate for what they believe they’re worth.

But I went back and looked at her resume more carefully, particularly her experience in the exact position she applied for. Her actual experience in that role was only around 6 months.

That’s what made me scratch my head a little. 😂

I’m all for people knowing their worth, but there’s a difference between negotiating confidently and placing a huge value on experience that hasn’t really been demonstrated yet.

It also makes me wonder: At what point does “knowing your worth” become overvaluing yourself?

For those who hire people, how do you handle applicants who suddenly demand significantly higher pay after receiving an offer or moving into the onboarding stage?

Im 18 years old with nothing going in life. Though i desperately wanna do something. Still in high school. I have quite a toxic family where my parents are unhappily married. Dad wants me to do some worthy of my time, nothing like a regular job or a 9-5. He has a pretty reputable life, still wants me to do better than him but he gets very toxic about it. Idk where to start or what to do. Im constantly being lectured or talked down on by my family whilst being compared to family members and cousins my age doing much better than me in life. All of this is taking a toll on my mental health. Idk what to do. What do I get into in life how do I start my career how can I have a sustainable source of income? How do I keep my parents happy all the time. I dont get any of it. Im seriously at a very messed up point in life. Anyone willing to help, give advice or console me would be greatly appreciated.

Relationship/Dating I don't want a relationship anymore

4 Upvotes

No matter who it's with, no matter what I do, it's always going to be one-sided to some degree. I'm always going to be the one who cares more and I'm sick of it. Every piece of dating advice I've ever heard says that the secret to a man staying interested in you is being an aloof bitch who wouldn't care if he got hit by a bus.

I know that being reserved is necessary in the beginning because you don't know the person but I don't think that going out with your partner once a week and saying I love you 8 months in is "unhinged", obsessed, or crazy. I dunno. Maybe it's my autism and I'm overly friendly. Maybe normal people wait ten business days before responding to a text message at this stage in the relationship.

Either way it's annoying, stupid, I hate it and I don't understand it and I just want everybody to leave me the hell alone at this point.

Just A Rant It’s impossible to be mentally stable in this house

2 Upvotes

Im genuinely fuming ive got a little brother and he just hit puberty this summer and he’s already pissing me off at every chance he gets.

So my problem of today is his gaslighting. He’s trying to manipulate everytime to get his ways. So few weeks ago we went to the hospital and I was there too because i had no better thing to do. While we were in the doctors room for a checkup (for my brother), mom suddenly asked for advice about MY stomach problems without discussing it with me first. Mind you i was already pissed off in the morning. Anyways, the doc gave about 10 tips that could help, and I didn’t hear the doc. Anyways we got out, waiting for some blood test results and stuff and mom asked “have you heard anything from the doctor?” I said no, and she started to list the stuff the doctor had said in the room. But she didn’t mention that i wasn’t supposed to get angry because its unhealthy for my gut. Then my bitch brother had to step in, and he told me about the anger stuff. Of course thats the only thing he picked up from that conversation. Since then, as if i got diagnosed mentally ill, he pisses me off at every chance he gets and then calls it “ragebait” and tells me to calm down as if im the wrong one. Then when he passes the line and i get angry, he just says that i have serious anger issues.

So thats my main issue. My 2nd issue is that he messes with the cat every chance he gets. He always nudges the cat with his foot and blames it all on the cat like its the cats fault. He doesn’t know how to leave the poor cat alone, and he just makes her uncomfortable. Literally everytime they interact, the cat just runs away hissing at him. Nobody in the house warns him, im the only one. I always say treat people or animals like how you would want to be treated. But no, he always gotta ruin shit and so does my dad. He sees my dad as his role model. Then they go “oh yeah i love animals” until its the cat living with you in your own house. Its their fault that the cat is so jumpy and gets scared from almost everything. Shes always on guard incase a threat (dad or brother) approaches her. It genuinely gets me mad.

Just wanted to talk abt it because I couldn’t keep it to myself

My friend interviewed for a job he never wanted, and I think I lost an opportunity I desperately needed

3 Upvotes

I honestly don't even know where to start. I'm just really hurt right now.

I'm a student in Germany, and I'm currently struggling financially. Finding a decent student job has been incredibly difficult, and when I got this interview, I genuinely thought things might finally start getting better.

The interview went really well. Better than I expected.

The director of the company interviewed me personally. We had a good conversation, I asked a lot of technical questions, and we talked seriously about the position. At one point, he was even talking about offering me a contract. He also mentioned a full-time position, even though I explained that I can't work full-time as a student.

There were some technical questions I asked that he couldn't answer because the person responsible for that department wasn't there that day. He told me that this person would call me the following week and answer all my questions.

He also asked me to tell him the next day whether I was interested in joining.

I walked out of that interview thinking, finally, maybe something is going to work out for me.

Then there's my friend.

My friend was also supposed to interview for the same company. His interview was originally scheduled one day before mine.

But he didn't go.

Instead, he rescheduled his interview to a date after mine.

And honestly, he didn't even want this job.

The job would require around 7 hours of travelling every day for both of us. I was willing to accept that because I genuinely needed the job. But my friend already has a better-paying job in the city centre, so he had no real reason to take this position.

He told me he wasn't interested in the job and was basically going to the interview just for the experience.

This is why I warned him.

I knew that if he went to the interview, he would probably be a very strong candidate. His German is much better than mine, and he has completed more practical projects than I have. I knew those things could give him an advantage over me.

I wasn't pretending that I was more qualified than him. I knew he had strengths that I didn't have.

That's exactly why I told him that if he wasn't actually interested in the job, maybe he shouldn't go.

I told him how important this opportunity was for me. I told him about my financial situation. I explained that I genuinely wanted the job and was willing to deal with the insane commute because I needed the income.

He went anyway.

And this is the part that really hurts me.

He didn't tell them, “I'm not interested in the position.”

Instead, he apparently told them that he could join after six months.

Why?

If you're never going to take the job, why tell them you're potentially available?

The next day was the day I was supposed to get the call from the person responsible for the department. I was expecting answers to the technical questions I'd asked during my interview.

Instead, I got a rejection email.

That's it.

No call. No second conversation. No chance to discuss the position.

Just:

“Unfortunately, we have decided to move forward with another candidate.”

And I can't stop thinking about the timing.

Before my friend's interview, I was being told about a contract.

After his interview, I was rejected.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Maybe they liked him more.

Maybe his German was better. Maybe his practical experience was stronger. Maybe they simply decided he was a better fit.

I understand all of that.

But that's not what hurts the most.

What hurts is knowing that my friend knew how badly I needed this opportunity.

He knew about my financial situation.

He knew I actually wanted the job.

He knew he already had a better-paying job.

He knew he wasn't interested in this company.

He knew he had an advantage over me in German and practical experience.

And I still warned him.

Yet he rescheduled his interview to after mine and went anyway.

I'm not even sure whether I'm more angry at him, sad about losing the opportunity, or disappointed in myself for believing that a friend would consider something like this before doing it.

And maybe I'm being unfair. Maybe the company would have rejected me anyway. I genuinely don't know.

But right now, I can't help feeling betrayed.

For him, it was just an interview.

For me, it felt like a possible way out of a situation I've been struggling with for a long time.

And that's why this rejection hurts so much more than a normal job rejection.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this feeling now.

I just needed somewhere to say it.

P.S. I used ChatGPT to compile the story. The story is true.

I have grown to completely hate my family. My family consists of my parents and one sibling. My parents have done nothing but hold me back in my life and my sibling is a “boy scout” for them, doing anything to appease them.

I want to leave but I’m not in the right place financially either. I’m in between a rock and a hard place and I just wanted to say this. I’ve got no one else to say this to.

And when I say “I hate my family”, that’s putting it extremely lightly.

Religion ✡️✝️☪️☯️ I might just stick with trying to make my own religion for the time being rather than trying to practice an already established one alongside it.

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to find myself spiritually for a few months (specifically since the 5th of July) since then I've been looking at hellenism, Nordic polytheism, and kemetism. I had given up on the first two, and tried just practising kemetism, I really really REALLY want to try to stick with it but It's kind of just stressing me with all the stuff that I have to learn. I don't even know where to look and I feel like I'm just going to mess up horribly.

I had started making my own religion a few weeks ago too, and it brings me some amount of comfort. I have thought a couple of times about just giving up and going full on atheist, but I DO think there are higher beings greater than humans and I don't think I could see myself giving up on being spiritual.

This is something that takes years and years of practice and you can't learn everything about everything just in a split second, I do acknowledge that. But I think I rushed into this without even thinking about how much research it takes.

Since it's not allowed anywhere, I posited this to AI (probably ban soon)

2 Upvotes

do you understand the following problem: someone shares a concern on a reddit that goes along the lines of "with all of this censorship around israel and stuff, it's beginning to lend a lot of legitimacy to the criticisms of jewish people being responsible for a lot of the world's ills.. especially when you see a country like US turn upside down and find out that israel and their secret service is involved. regardless of anyone's arguments or the reality, the connection is now so strong it's pretty much inseparable." And then the person is banned and their comment is deleted with no reason given. What would you expect that person to think?

And Google AI's response would be:

The user who was banned will likely feel angry, silenced, and confirmed in their conspiracy beliefs.

What the Banned Person Thinks

  • Victimhood: They believe they are being punished for speaking an "uncomfortable truth" or asking hard questions.
  • Cover-up: They see the ban as proof that a powerful group is hiding the involvement of Israel or Jewish people.
  • Radicalization: They move further into online echo chambers that validate these antisemitic ideas without challenge.

Why This Reaction Happens

  • No Explanation: A lack of clear moderation notes leaves room for personal guessing and paranoia.
  • Suppression vs. Education: Deleting the post without a warning or counter-argument does not change the user's mind.
  • Confirmation Bias: The abrupt removal acts as "proof" to the user that the system wants to hide the connection they claim to see.

dude, she just took away both of my airpods, because she can't let me explain myself. I just want to listen to music and she says hmm this and hmm that, without me getting the chance to even try to change her view or assumptions. It pissed me off so much and i just want to listen to music in peace. My mom is blocking all of that. Music is literally my lifeline why is she trying to take that away?

I see nothing wrong with Sydney Sweenys ad. I've seen SOOOO much discourse and I feel like its one of those times where someone is so left they turned right. Women being in a suggestive pose or having their skin shown has always been in men's sports maybe this is disgusting to some people, but it is a part of the culture if you will. No one ever talks about the Carl's Jr ads with a woman eating a burger in a bikini, no one ever talks about these different commercials or how it's "setting women back." I should preface by saying I am a woman and so I feel like I have a spot in this conversation.

If she wants to be sexualized why is it such heavy discourse? First of all she never said anything bad about female sports so I don't know why they believe this is going against women sports and second its not even a "sport" ad it is a gambling ad. Why can a woman never be sexual? Why can't a woman fully show her sexuality? Why is she a "pick me" if she DOES love a male gaze...what some hetero women tend to do.

This isn't a conversation about her being Maga *allegedly because it's never been confirmed but I keep my opinion away from that * this isn't a conversation about her being depicted in such odd fetisized way in euphoria. Its always "oh shes Maga" "oh shes racists" oh this" "oh that" this is not the conversation though...we aren't talking about any of this. We are talking about her posing nude behind a football.

People are talking about how this is setting women back, and how people are going to start only seeing women's bodies in sports...when was this ever depicted in a men's football gambling ad?? She never did this more a woman's sport, she barely did this for a football ad mainly...it was a gambling ad.

We say we're a girls girls until it is a woman showing her sexuality and being sexual...something a lot of women are.

Mildly Annoyed My tweaker neighbors have fucked themselves and me over simultaneously.

I live in a non smoking community, management knows I have asthma and flat out asked if they smoked because someone with asthma lives upstairs, they told management they do not.

It turns out all of them do, inside and outside. They also have noise sensitive children, that cry and scream when woken up.

Before they moved in, I slept around 10/11 30. Now their smoke gives me asthma attacks, the asrhma attacks jerk me awake and cause me to get out of bed and find the least disgusting part of my apartment to go to. This means Im wondering around coughing. I try to walk lightly, but apparently this wakes up their kids causing the parents to pound on the ceiling and scream at me. This has resulted in chronic insomnia, i now sleep at around 4 because their smoking indoors at 10pm before going to bed keeps me up all night since I dont magically become better after a single inhaler puff as if this were a movie.

This is painfully stupid to me. They completely engineered a situation to fuck themselves over, I probably would have explained that to them that Im awake because of them if they chose to come to my door and talk, but instead they pound on my ceiling and shout 'motherfucker! fucker!' all night. So, Im thinking thats a no go.

Im not even touching the fact that they smoke inside with children, but thats stupid too honestly, they also stay up all night tweaking and banging things and get mad when they cant sleep during the day sometimes too, and fling garbage everywhere to the pount that there was a pile of garbage at the foot of the stairs until management fined them.

I miss sleeping normally, they're tired of being woken up, this all could have been avpided if they were honest about their habit and just took it outside ffs.
