I’m tired all the time, even if I sleep well. Meanwhile, some people wake up early, go to the gym, work full-time, and still go out after. How?

I’m in my mid-to-late 20s and still living at home because of finances. I feel kind of ashamed about it, even though I know rent is insane right now. Is this more common than it seems?

A student asked me this, honestly, i couldn’t really answer, so i just said: “There are so many great games you won’t get to experience.” What would you answer?

Basically the title,

At least where I’m at and what I’ve seen, there seems to be a lot black man-white woman couples, but only a handful of white man-black woman couples.

Why is one seemingly commonplace but the other rarer?

Whenever I hear a recording of myself talking, I cringe so hard. It doesn't sound anything like how I think I sound in my head. Is this just a common thing or something weird with how I hear myself?

People always say, "Find your passion" or "Do what you love," but I honestly don’t know what that even is for me. Is it normal to just feel kind of… blank?

I'm 42 and have no one - no partner, no children, no friends, no family - this is not for lack of trying, but as an Autistic person it just seems I'm completely socially incompetent. I don't think I've ever really experienced love or had real friends, I missed out on so many experiences in my twenties, and now it feels it will never ever happen. I can't help but feel immense sadness at that.

So often when you talk about being alone someone will say they're the same but then go on to talk about their partner, it's different when you're completely alone. Or people will tell you that you need to learn to be alone, as if we're unfamiliar with being on our own, like it's a failing that we want to be around other people or have connections.

Or there are those who are antisocial, or introverts, who are happy to be alone...good for y'all, but surely there are others out there who want to be around people but have absolutely no one. And if so, how are you guys coping with being alone?

I’m 18 and just started college. I’m doing community college for my first two years because it’s much cheaper than a university. Despite how much cheaper it is, I still find it a bit hard to pay for my monthly tuition fee, monthly car payment, and my gas even with two jobs. On top of that, I have to occasionally pay for certain things like shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, hair products, etc. After paying for everything I’m not left with much. I just don’t understand how people pay for things like a house, a car, and groceries and still have enough left over to splurge. Especially people who have kids and/or pets. How do people get enough money for it all?

Like… is it the water pressure? The mystery shampoo? Or am I just tricking myself into thinking I’m fancy? Or is it the feeling of doing something forbidden?

For reasons I don't care to divulge, I've been at home alone more often. Lately I've been experimenting with walking around the house naked and doing stuff around the house while not one is around. Before then I would just be naked in my room. I tend to get warmer than the rest of my family and wear t-shirts and shorts even into November if the weather allows.

I also hate wearing long pants or long sleeve shirts. I find them extremely uncomfortable. I also stopped wearing socks and underwear a long time ago. Probably since high-school. I feel so free when I'm naked, if I was less conscious about my body and less mentally repulsed by male nudity I would probably move into a nudist colony.

I always find this weird how lots of Muslims in Afghanistan and iran for example don't want women to work and study even tho Muhammad which is someone, Muslims look up to and try to do what he did, married scholars and businesswomen

For reference, I live with my family and I’ve never felt secure over food. For as long as I could remember, anything I wanted to save as leftovers had to be marked with post its and even then, there was a large chance that my family (mostly my dad and brother) would steal it. As my mom would say, the men gotta eat.

Flash forward to today and I have my own small shelf in the fridge to store my leftovers or any food I’ve bought. This is supposed to be the do-not-touch-under-any-circumstance but that doesn’t really stop anyone. I.e I found a donut I’ve been saving in the fruit drawer for NO REASON. I recently discovered one of my leftovers was apparently moved out of my section and thus free to eat, but I know I never move anything out of my section if I mean to eat it. Both instances had be incredibly mad, like needs-anger-management levels.

I was venting to a friend about this and she said this could be a disorder. Thing is, I don’t have any of the main eating disorders. I’m not sure if I hoard food, since I don’t have a ton in my shelf and I throw out anything that’s gone bad.

My “symptoms” are that I’m protective over my food and get ultra angry if someone relocates my food (and just things in general) or eats it. I know reddit shouldn’t be the place for a diagnosis but a ballpark idea would be nice

One of my colleagues has a really strong body odor that the whole team notices, but he doesn’t seem to realize it. Sometimes it honestly makes it hard to breathe when we’re in meetings together.

We don’t want to embarrass him, but at the same time it affects everyone. Should we say something directly, drop hints, or just ignore it and hope he figures it out himself?

I'm a 19F, straight (at least I think I am), but I swear there's nothing hotter than seeing two guys kissing. It just makes my heart race and I can't explain why. Sometimes I even catch myself wishing I was a guy with a boyfriend 😔🥀 Why do you think this turns me on so much?

I'm having these recurrent disruption to my sleep. These days my sleeping schedule has been so tiresome. Even if I'm tired, I couldn't have a normal 8 hour sleep. I'll wake everyday around 3 or 4 and couldn't sleep after that. I'll be tired and sleepy in my office. Somebody please help me out!

I see a lot of people commenting that their use of AI slurs mixed with 1950s Jim Crow imagery was evidence of her and other white people being desperate to use anti-black slurs. These comments also seem to assume Stanzipotenza is hating on Ai whilst using it as an opportunity to engage in covert racism and role-play a 1950s segregation fantasy.

If this is not a misunderstanding, is it potentially a projection to assume white people role-playing and satirising appartited racism is always making light of it instead of making a point through humour?

Stanzipotenza’s sketches seem to always poke fun at the archetypes their characters represent through absurdist humour. I’ve seen a few people arguing that racism is so baked into people that they can’t help but bring it out… but isn’t that the exact point Stanzipotenza is referencing by proposing people might be doing something like Jim Crow style segregation in the future if AI gets rights?

In my opinion to assume that Stanzipotenza is siding with the robot segregationist character would be to assume that the creator is agreeing that AI is also deserving of this instead of making fun of peoples affinity to segregate and demonise the “other” similar to how they have always done. (This point seems really lost on the people who are offended.)

As far as I’m aware Stanzipotenza has never made videos that glorifying outcasting a perceived threat and instead usually depicts the social issue by the characters they portray.

Is this willingfully misunderstanding the video as pro-segregationist or have I missed something that a lot of the backlash is saying?

IDK who this is. Is she a vtuber?

I always wonder this when I see a girl wear a thong. I see the pros of wearing them but is it just annoying all day. Also are they not a bit unhygienic for all day wear, that butt strap must get hella smelly after a long day

I have often thought about this, do people pay attention if someone wears the same few outfits repeatedly? Not dirty ones, just a small rotation of clean ones. What do you think? Do most people care, or is this something that I am just overthinking?

I F 24 he 26 M we met at the mall he and my mother worked at we didn't have much conversation I also shadowed at his company.

I was homeschoold and have no friends so I don't know what is considered inappropriate

I don't want to scare him off since he knows my mother

I know how to write professional emails, I text with family a thumbs up or say nice it's very dry, people on Reddit I'm direct and straightforward, but how do I text him?

I particulary live in Spain. Now that it's summer women usually wear shorts and tops, some of them have almost the size of a bra (which I'm not against btw). But I always wonder how the men and women from muslim countries who came here (or any other western-like society) as adults feel when they see it. Are they already used to it because of social media? Are they uncomfortable? Is it like seeing someone naked? Do they feel angry? Or is it just like an initial cultural shock and then it means nothing?
