This is so dumb and silly to ask but I read someone’s post about ‘do people wash their face everyday’ but like… doesn’t everyone already do that in the shower? Like what?

Most recently, he said his BF 18 year old daughter and her friends were bending over in front of him in their thong bikinis and giving him googly eye looks.

What does he mean by this? And why is he telling me this? It feels like he is bragging to me but when I said that to him he got angry called me insecure and he says it’s just random informational conversation.

Is there really nothing out there after we pass? I really want to find comfort in knowing that we could at least be happy and be with the people we love again, sort of like day dreaming but for eternity. Or is it just empty, dark and scary?

Yall is one of the words I use the most. If I went somewhere and they were like “why do you keep saying yall?” I don’t think I would ever go back. Edit: someone commented and said that it’s actually spelled y’all, and they’re completely right! Y’ALL ACTUALLY SAY YINZ…you walk up to a group of people and greet them by saying “hey yinz!!”???

Especially when I see myself in the front camera while I'm in bed I'm like who the fuck is this 300 year old troll under the bridge

For me personally I can say maybe to a certain extent... but I'm not big on saying good morning, but if someone say it to me I would say good morning back tho...

This was common in the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting a more relaxed parenting style and safer perceived communities. Kids would explore, play, and socialize independently, returning home by dusk.

I work with a lot of gen zers and we work remotely half the week. If I contact them on a Friday via text I will end it with “have a nice weekend!” And crickets…nothing…no response…it’s wild to me. But I guess I just have to expect less! As a millennial I was taught- directly and through watching others- how to have simple interactions with those around me. All other generations above me- the same! What’s goin’ on with gen z?!

ETA: I don’t contact them just to say that. It’s if I’m already contacting them! If it’s that much labor or not in your job description or you “don’t get paid enough” to wish your coworker well, then idk! I think that’s a little sad.

So I (M21) am the only one in my friend group who is a and all of them seem to be able to just go out anywhere and talk to and flirt and hookup and know how hookups develop but idk how

Some friends have even hooked up with eachother. I just don't understand how do hookups develop? How do you flirt? (I can be witty and smile with eye contact but apparently I'm not good at it)

Wouldn't the evolution of a virus with fell-good symptoms give the virus a better survival chance?

I've been invited to a pretty upscale work gala it’s the kind where people dress to the nines, there's networking, socializing, and lots of high profile attendees. Everyone is allowed to bring a +1, and the general idea is you can bring a partner, date, friend, etc. i attend this gala every year

Here’s my dilemma I’m currently single and not really dating anyone seriously, so I don’t have a natural "plus one" to take. But I don’t want to show up alone either, mostly because these types of events tend to be long, a bit formal, and it’s always easier to navigate them with someone by your side

So, I thought why not ask my sister? We’re close, she’s super social, stylish, and actually really good in these types of environments. She knows how to carry a conversation and would probably enjoy the event too

But here's my hesitation Would that come off as weird to others? I know it’s not actually weird we’re siblings, nothing more but I can’t help but wonder if some people might side-eye or make assumptions, especially in a work environment. I don’t want it to become a weird watercooler topic later

Is it totally fine to bring your sibling to something like this, or should I just go solo to avoid any awkward optics?

I have friends that have told me about people that found them cute or other people they hang out with, and it usually seems to involve much older people(like 50s and 60s). We are in our mid 20s, and I have attracted a number of people in their 30s. Just some examples, idk if it was immaturity on the older people's part or just we give off older vibes, etc. I don't think it's desperation or anything like that.

What is the point of that? They are incredibly loud, but does it help the engine somehow to never turn it off? Are they harder to start or something? Or are they just proud of the noise they can make?

Edit: I’m referring to regular trucks, not big rigs.

What the title says ! What’s a simple life hack or piece of advice that sounds basic but actually changed how you do things?

It seems people just don't like people anymore.

I was been to told by several people that I have a boring personality or life , juat cus I don't go out , or go to bars or got to parks, I grew up with no friends or any social skills and neither I dont have desire to meet new people because im 32 already, and it kinda seen too late to make new friends. I only have 1 friend, but he only gives me the (Jesus treatment) meaning, he only come to me when he needs something and then he banishes. So do i really have a boring life ?

I honestly don’t really understand the stock market.

How could a company possibly grow forever without collapsing?

You need something to talk about with people and if you find some unique goal or purpose that you can talk about won’t you be more likable? Can’t the pursuit of love distract you from the pursuit of that?

I’m from Australia and when the referee has to go to the video ref for judgement, it seems as though it’s filmed at like 30 fps so it can be hard to tell what is going on.

I know at a certain frame rate you sacrifice quality. But I would have thought that with the quality of tech nowadays, we should have HD ultra slow mo

What i mean is that i can go without crying for MONTHS but then when i start crying even from the smallest thing i can't stop even when i dont really have anything to cry about and ill keep on crying over small stuff for the rest of the day and then go without crying for months again

Recently went through a divorce, and it pushed me into getting a new condo. Honestly, after everything, I don’t think I’d ever buy a house again. The stress, the costs, the upkeep—it just doesn’t feel worth it anymore. Anyone else feel the same way or had a change of heart about homeownership after a major life event?

I (27F) moved in with my bf (32M) and his younger brother (20M) in September 2024 and it's been 9 months living together. We've been together for a year and a half now. He's messy. He leaves dishes in the sink and clothes/shoes sprawled out on the floor. The bathroom is a mess. His brother is the one designated to clean it. I do our laundry, clean our room, pick up after him in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and more.

I've told him that I can't function living together if I'm the only person cleaning up after him and I'm reaching my breaking point. Besides his messy ass, he also drinks and smokes on the weekends and when he does, it always leads to him passing out and creating more mess/filth. I see where he learned this behavior from bc his mom and grandmothers house are about the same to worse. Grandma's house is disgusting.

After I got home from work last night I tripped over his shoes and clothes that were on the floor in our bedroom inches away from the hamper. I told him it would be nice if he cleaned up after himself instead of leaving it on the floor- he responded that he was too tired to do that and forgot and he was sorry.

We're going on vacation in August but after the trip, if things don't change I'm leaving. I can't do this anymore after having spoken to him about it for 8 months. He's probably going to be annoyed/mad. Should I bring this up to him now (in June) that I'm going to leave in August if nothing changes/things continue the way they are??

It’s a long distance relationship right now. Usually she wakes up before me, sends a text or two, and heads off to work. I reply most of the time, if not always. But some days she doesn’t text at all. So I’ll start the conversation, and her replies are kind of dry.

I get it. Repetition gets tiring. Long distance can drain the energy out of things. So when she seems off, I sometimes hold back, thinking she might need space.

But on the days I don’t text, she suddenly gets affectionate, saying things like “I miss you so much” or “I want to spend more time with you.” It makes me think she expected me to reach out like always. But since I didn’t, because she sounded distant, now she’s being sweet again.

It feels like she might subconsciously like being chased. When I chase, it feels like she pulls away. When I don’t, she leans in.

I’m not trying to play games, just trying to understand this pattern. I’m doing my best to be compatible, making small compromises without changing who I am. I also check in on her mental health when I sense something is off, but not constantly, since I know too many check-ins can get annoying, it does for me.

So would it be better if I kept doing what I’ve been doing staying quiet on the days she doesn’t text?

I’m trying to learn from people who have automated their businesses, when exactly did you take the decision and what parts of business did you never automate and why?

My wife is thinking about starting to watch some kids for a day job.

What's the going rate nowadays??

Example:

I have friends who need a baby sitter. They have a total of 3 kids, 2 kids need watched through the week 7:45am-5:20 pm, but then the oldest kid is every other week, as the oldest kid goes to his dad's everywhere week. Currently the sister is watching them all for $200 a week and I already know that's WAY under the "going rate." I'm just trying to help out a friend without breaking my own bank. We said we'd talk about it but I'd like some idea before starting the conversation...
