Weddings, wedding culture, normalizing stress and extreme debt over an optional party, the expectation that every woman wants a day that's all about her (tf??), the strangely strict, arbitrary and often outdated rules that you're just expected to know, the shaming... wedding culture is awful and I don't understand the appeal of any of it at all. Why is this the norm? Good marketing?

What gets me is the assumptions that because you're a woman you obviously want xyz. I have no idea what the hell they're talking about. It's like hearing about an aliens social rules and then they assume you feel the same way. I have genuinely never wanted any if that and I think its weird. Like straight up I'l

I'm deeply addicted to my phone to the point where it causes problems in my day to day life. Frankly, I've been this way for years so the habits are pretty ingrained. Im lifelong ADHD as well so that plays a part. I'm chronically, deeply overstimulated. I'm at the point where trying not to play and scroll on my phone for 30+ minutes, not listening to something, not scrolling reddit or youtube or SOMETHING, causes a genuine, real sense of panic in my brain.

It's not like I'm not occasionally lost in my own thoughts in the quiet, but intentionally denying the urge feels like fighting against a tsunami. The walls start closing in and I feel dread at getting through the day without some sort o

I've seen this idea casually thrown around on reddit.

People imply that you can't empathize with your parents or are inherently more selfish because you've yet to have children.

Honestly, I wrote a whole post explaining myself, a whole backstory, but fuck it. This is common sense. If you really think someone has to have children to empathize with their parents as people and mature, you're projecting hard. It's not my fault you had to have kids to grow the fuck up, don't put that on me.

I'm sick of people acting like having children is THE stepping stone to maturity because they couldn't figure their shit out on their own before making babies.

More specifically, do you believe you'll live to see a time where Pitbull breeds are successfully eradicated from your country or state entirely? Why or why not?

Exactly what is says on the tin.

A couple of years ago I had to live in absolutely degradingly disgusting conditions due to my lazy roommate's huge, untrained dogs. That could be a whole post of its own. Very long story short, it was awful, but I got out of that situation eventually.

Ever since that time in my life though, I've noticed I've been a little obsessed with having a clean house. I'm not a neat freak by any means, but it's now a priority for me to have relatively clean and neat living conditions.

Things I'm so happy I don't have to worry about ever again, hopefully:

• Dog shit
• Dog piss
• Dog fur (I'm SO GLAD I do not have to see dog fur everywhere or sweep it up constantly

A lot of people in developed countries seem to be outright ignorant of the fact that dogs are simply animals and will behave as such in the right environment.

In many developing countries (and in more poverty stricken or rural parts of developed countries) wild, feral dogs are a life-or-death issue. Dog attacks are commonplace and death is always a possibility, whether from injuries or illness. In many countries there are so many homeless dogs that these dogs become aggressive, desperate, and dangerous pests. They will form in groups and attack animals and people in the way any hungry, carnivorous pack animal will.

I have seen a bit of this myself. I watched as a pack of wild dogs viscou

I'm sure this has been talked about on this sub before quite a bit, but it's been bothering me lately. On an anecdotal level I've noticed that the people who feel great empathy for dogs are the same people who do not feel empathy for other human beings. In fact this is often normalized through various phrases: "Dogs >>> people", all the jokes and memes about letting someone suffer if it benefitted a dog, etc.

I've also noticed that people who adore dogs really just want something completely obedient and needy and mistake this for "unconditional love." Hence the love for dogs but dislike of people and cats.

It's fucking weird and once you notice it you see it a lot.

I genuinely

People are always talking shit about landlords who either don't allow pets/dogs, or charge a fee.

I completely sympathize with the landlords on this issue, let me tell you why.

I myself, have lived with big dogs in a rented house. They were not mine, they were my roommates. Not only were they two large, male, hyper dogs in a small two bedroom cabin, but after my roommates moved out I ended up taking care of them for a while. They could not go outside because the fence was very janky and even after we fixed the fence, my roommate didn't feel comfortable leaving them outside unattended, so, they just never went outside. It wasn't until after my roommates moved out that they actually got to b

Sorry that title is incredibly vague. I'm trying to find the name of a novel I read years ago, possibly as a child. I'm 22, so it's not that long ago relatively. My memories of it are vague and not well pieced together. Doesn't help I likely never finished it.

Again, my memories of what happened are vague, but three men find these old letters that were either written by a slave master, or a slave, detailing a slave boy's sexual abuse from the slave master. That's all I remember of the letters. It's very sad and somber. Somehow this leads to them going down the Mississippi river by boat, where tensions begin to rise between them. I think. I don't know how it ends.

My best guess is that this

I'm brand spanking new to this sub, and I'm not entirely within the realm of this subs target demographic, although I also agree with what a lot of you have to say. I figure people here might sympathize a little bit, and I have no one else to vent about this to.

My roommates left their three large dogs at my house after moving out. One of whom is my best friend, the other is her douchey ex who I regret letting move in at all. One of the dogs is his and he refuses to take it, the other two my BF is procrastinating coming to get for reasons I won't get into.

For the past... almost a year, let's say, I've been living with these three dogs being in this house constantly. And when I say consta

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm a new poster here. Also I'm on mobile, etc.

Just to be clear I haven't been asked this, not really. I don't really get "bingoed" yet, except by one person, and even then eh, not really.

But my god, what a loaded question. I can seriously think of tens of answers to it! And I think of new ones all the time.

And I couldn't pick an all-time favorite. A lot of them are important to me. But my main answer would likely be, "... Because I don't want to." Which I'm sure isn't very satisfying, and doesn't even come CLOSE to conveying the hours of actual thought I've put into this topic, which is actually kind of frustrating in a way. But it's about as go

Whenever I use Clorox disinfecting wipes, they make my hands feel odd after using them with bare hands for quite a bit. Warm is the best way I can describe it. Is this normal? It's not a huge deal, not really bothersome or like an allergic reaction, just makes me wonder why and what ingredient(s) cause that.

The ones we use are bleach-free by the way, not sure what difference that makes but I've heard this can be caused by bleach but I don't think that applies here.

Should these wipes not be used with bare hands?
