  • Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

    Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

    Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.



  • Dude you hit the nail on the head right there. I’ve been thinking of installing Reddit back because some of the content I enjoyed there is just not here.

    Ive tried to recreate the subs I had on Reddit to here, but it’s empty. So I just browse All and block anything that has to do with politics, but it’s impossible because everything is just lefty politics in some way. Like I’m a liberal person, but I feel like I’m considered right leaning from some of the shit people say on here.

    And if I don’t have NSFW off it’s just trans everywhere.

    Like do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be, but I don’t wanna see THAT lol


  • I’m 38 and I just achieved that goal.

    Don’t stress about this shit (too much).

    Go to concerts, take trips, eat your avocado toast. Indulge.

    You’re only young once, and everyone is poor in their 20’s. Unless you’re lucky or it’s given to you.

    It sounds trite, but success will come. However you measure it.

    6 years old all the way. Ok yeah sure, investments, Bitcoin, be rich. However, I’d love to relive parts of my past that I would want repaired that money couldn’t exactly fix.

    I’d be a better older brother to my younger brother. Hang out with him, take him to his football games, take him to movies, play video games with him. Instead of being the douchebag party guy that ignored him. We have a good relationship now, but I wish I could’ve given him better memories when he was a kid of his older brother and guided him more/better.

    I’d help my Mom with her addiction that took ahold of her because she couldn’t cope with what happened in her childhood. Maybe she’d still be around today, instead of me being so self absorbed in my own stupid shit.

    Avoid the bad relationships I was in, and have the knowledge to recognize when a relationship will go badly. Including the parts of myself that help make the relationship bad.

    Maybe the money would help with some of these things, but I really think my attention and presence would be more impactful.

    Yes, yes they are. Which is why you pay for their services.

    If a you pay a mechanic to fix your car, and it breaks down on the way home, you take that shit back and tell them to fix it.

    If you pick up your car and the mechanic complains of an overdraft fee from the bank, because everything hinged on you picking up your car at noon instead of 3pm, that isn’t your problem.










  • I’ll help ya out since I felt the same way and spent too much time on something I don’t really care about, though I do care for the person who was impacted.

    They are a tech YouTube channel that tests components for computers and the like.

    Basically, a former female employee (can’t remember her name) who was the social media manager, made a post of her tenure there, and it was horrible. Sexual harassment, belittled, ridiculous standards for work. At one point she felt she needed to gash herself and go to the ER, just so she can take a day off because she was ridiculed for taking a sick day previously. There is whole shit ton more. I’d link the post but sorry I’m a little lazy rn.

    The guy who is “de-friending” this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing.

    This was a hyper TL;DR, and I’m missing other things, but that’s pretty much the jist of it.


  • I know this is an unpopular opinion, but that’s because a good amount of the time it’s true…

    Relationships are a lot of work, but shouldn’t be hard. If your relationship is getting so difficult that you feel the need to post your issues on the Internet to get advice from strangers, your relationship is more or less done and haven’t really noticed it yet.

    If it’s a one off issue that you need some outside help to see another perspective, than breaking up is probably not the solution; however, if it’s habitual then yeah breaking up is probably for the best.

    We tend to have loss aversion and get trapped in the sunken cost fallacy with relationships and can’t see that it needs to end.

    That said, giving advice for a bad relationship is like seeing a person who has an addiction problem. That person needs to realize what it is, and no amount of advice can help.
