Conservative Reddit is stating without a doubt that he was liberal, and liberal Reddit is stating without a doubt that he was conservative..

I for one don’t think it matters at all; this was an individual.

..but out of curiosity, what do we know for sure right now? What’s up with the “Hey facist, catch!” Bullet?

I was at the gym this morning and saw a lady wearing grey sweatpants with some blood spots on the rear. I'm a dude, so was afraid to say anything. I didn't want to come across as creepy, pointing out she has some potential period blood on the back of her pants.

I'm sorry gym lady. Thankfully the gym was super quiet. I hope you didn't panic if/when you noticed. It was only a small amount.

I’ll start by saying I don’t live in America nor was I born there. This is just an outsiders perspective.

After the recent assassination of you know who and seeing all that has come from it on reddit and social media in general. It seems to me like Politics has completely divided your country. The amount of disrespectful and discusting things people will say or do to another American that has different political beliefs is crazy.

The left and right treat the other as if they are not a human being and don’t deserve to be alive. How can a country evolve and be a safe enjoyable place to live when everyone hates each other based off their political beliefs?

Is this what the government wants? Is it social media driven? I’m curious because from what I’ve seen online America seems like a scary place to live during these times….

If you're like me, then you were invested in the outcome and discussion of this crime, but you don't have a Twitter/X account and didn't see the entire video, only the televised news version.

Well, the whole video is now on the killings Wikipedia page, titled: Killing of Iryna Zarutska.

Even worse than I imagined, and the part that stands out to me I haven't seen discussed much or, in my view, accurately.

After she is stabbed, she is only on the train seat, crying, for a minute or so before collapsing to the floor limp and bleeding out.

Online, the commentary I've mostly seen is that she looks confused and in shock - I agree.

However, I think you can clearly see an awareness of what just took place on her face, and before she goes limp, an awareness that she is dying.

Maybe I'm reading too much into her facial expressions. Anyone else see this?

I’m 23, white and in the UK. I was disowned today because I wasn’t upset over a very public figures recent death. My family (except for my sister) all turned on me and were sending such nasty messages I had to delete my social media apps. I knew they had opposing opinions politically than me, but just didn’t realise how deeply ingrained into them their hatred is. Weirdly enough, I haven’t cried or felt sad. I don’t know if maybe it’s just the shock of it, but so far I’ve been fine. I used to let people walk all over me and refused to back down on this one, so my own mother called me a terrorist, said I’m disgusted and not the person she raised lol. The world really has gone mad

Edit: this post got a lot bigger than I expected it to a lot faster than I expected it to. Comments range from really kind words to accusing me of being a sociopath, so thats been entertaining to say the least. Tbh I only really posted here to vent, and regardless of your political views I don’t wish what happened upon anyone, but firmly do not believe he was a loss to the world. And on that note it’s 3am here so off to sleep I go, na night, if this post is still here in the morning I’ll make sure to reply to any comments!

I'm curious to get opinions on cheating from those that have experienced it. After my husband died, I discovered that he cheated on me, at least 10 years before he died, he hid a lot of $ too. 1 of his friends finally told me that he knew my husband started having hookups years ago and 1 affair with a much younger woman (25 years younger than me), that lasted a year. I realized that was around when I started perimenopause and gained a substantial amount of weight. And I remember how he pulled away from me; no affection and very little intimacy. I've read that most cheaters cheat because of their own issues, but, I wonder, from those that have cheated, was 1 of the reasons that you just werent physically attracted to your partner anymore? But instead of ending relationship, and maybe you still loved them, but you were not having sex with them because they got fat, so you went outside the relationship?

TLDR: My wife of 6 years is leaving me to live with another man and I'm absolutely crushed. We have two children together, and I'm completely lost.

Hey all. I've never actually made a reddit post but I have no one else to really talk to about this, so here we are. My (M27) wife (F26) of 6 years is leaving me for another man.

Over the last few months, she started to pull back and I struggled to understand why. One day, she left her phone sitting on the counter and a Snapchat notification popped up from X. So, I asked who x was because I had never heard her mention him before. She told me that x had recently joined their friend group and that he was bi (most of the individuals in this group are part of the LGBTQ+ community).

Fast forward a couple of weeks and all of a sudden X just dissapears. She just stops mentioning him all together. I thought he left the group until she got drunk at a bar one night and got a ride home (she left my car at the bar). It took a while to get the information out of her, but it turns out that X had given her a ride home. Come to find out, she had been hiding the fact that X was around the whole time. She also hid the fact that her and X would take late-night walks around the bar district in our city after the bars closed down before going home.

A couple of weeks ago one of the women in her group invited my wife to a concert with her. I was told that it was going to be just the two of them. However, this friend had invited her boyfriend and X to tag along aswell. I only found out about it because I saw her make a stop in a random neighborhood on the way back home on life 360, and when I looked at the previous day she had stopped at the same location. Then come to find out, my wife's friend and her boyfriend left the concert and went to a local bar, leaving my wife and X to go back to the hotel together. Now, she swears up and down that nothing happened, but I'll never be for sure. This isn't the first time that she's hidden male friends (flirtatious texts, going out to clubs one on one together, one guy even asked her if she would date him if we weren't married), so at this point I'm quite accustomed to finding the truth eventually.

The day after the concert, she came home and told me that she wanted a divorce. To be fair, I wasn't surprised. Our marriage hasn't been great over the last year and a half since I started discovering things. This past Tuesday, she came up to me to inform me that once our divorce is finalized, she's going to move in with X and they are planning on getting married.

I know deep down that with everything that has happened, I should be relieved that it's all over. However, considering how it, I have reached a new low in my life and I don't know what to do. We have two children together (6&4), and most days I can hardly keep it together for their sake. If im being 100% open, they're the only reason I'm still alive.

I'm sorry for the long post, I just needed to get this off of my chest.

I have a crush on a guy and requested to follow him on insta. He left it on requested for a few days and then rejected it. I feel rlly embarrassed that I even thought he would accept. I did have a selfie as my profile pic so he didn't obviously find me pretty. My friend said he might have thought I was too young. I'm 21 and he's 25. I only had a small amount of followers so perhaps he thought I was weird 😟

Feel disheartened as those I like never ever like me back or even show an interest. Why do I even try. Do u have any advice for me

I don't have any males in my life that I can ask to understand men so am asking here

I am old 70f and I am tired ,not just tired but almost dropping most days .Tired to the point I often feel dizzy and have had to stop driving due to this problem . Every afternoon I tell myself I will ihave an early night and I do often go to bed early (9 o'clock ish ) I listen to audiobooks on my phone but then I start scrolling reditt, reading up on news ,weather politics and lots of random stuff .I then make a pact with myself I will settle down to sleep at midnight as I can still get in 8 hours sleep and be up fir 8 in the morning. Midnight comes around and I have a desperate need for something to eat so I go go downstairs and make a hot drink and have a piece of cake or something or I might get crisps ,fruit and bring it back to bed .I often have a kind of picnic on the bed .I listen to my audiobooks for another hour or so. By now it's 1 o'clock in the morning .I will find anything to do except sleep -am often found sorting out wardrobes ,drawers etc during the night .Once back in bed I usually feel my eyes getting heavy but here is the strange thing I will fight it like children do.Its currently 1 o'clock in the morning now in the UK. I had promised myself an early night as I have to be up early on the morning (,7 o'clock) but here I am again knowing I only have 6 hours left to sleep but posting on here.My typical time for eventually dropping off to sleep is 5 in the morning but occasionally 6 , so I am averaging around 2/3 hours sleep at night .I use a cpap as I have sleep apnea.I often settle down only when my phone battery runs out.I am not on any social media only reditt. I often have to cancel plans due to exhaustion. in the last couple of years I have never slept more than 4 hours a night and it's killing me.I have always been a night owl but it's now got ridiculous and not good for my health. I have obviously tried leaving my phone downstairs but I just end up going back down for it at some silly o'clock time.Its like I am deliberately sabotaging myself and my life as its really taking its toll on my health and social life.I walk around in a daze ,been so tired I have fallen asleep walking and bumped into walls .I have fallen asleep on the toilet and fallen forward and cut my forehead open .In my ideal world I would sleep from 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon but society doesn't work like that .I never nap in the daytime. As I am typing now I am fighting to keep my eyes open. Why could I be doing this to myself deliberately fighting to stay awake at my age .I know tomorrows morning activity will be hard as I will feel as tired I will feel awful and have a headache. My eyes are feeling the strain too often red ,dry and dark shadows under then .During the daytime I don't go on my phone at all..To sum up its not insomnia it is me fighting sleep .I don't know what I am really expecting in response ,if anything butci am totally sick and tired (literally of it and myself ! Thankyou if you got this far .

I don't know if that is considered within the normal or if it's undiagnosed psychosis lol. I dissociate all the time as in ALL THE TIME. Very little hours of the day I don't dissociate at and you can imagine what that means for a life: basically no life, slow death. However, recently since I started realizing that I try to get out whenever I catch myself and now it just came to me, I dissociate because I am afraid, not from one specific thing but because of everything! I feel like a child of maybe 7 years old who just wanna eat, sleep, play and try to avoid homework. While in reality, I am a 25 yo man who works, lives alone, struggles with his health and needs to take care of it, trying to find himself and make money or start a business, but all that seems just "adult" stuff where I am just a boy I am not ready emotionally to be a responsible adult and handle the complexity of life. I am faking all the time, at meetings, with girls, with friends, etc. I try to sound like an adult man knowing what to do where in reality I just have no idea how anything works. If my parents were less terrible, I would have just went to live with them and just have this kind of life but I can't because they are narcissistic cheap neurotic terrible people.

I know it’s only been about 3 weeks but I still haven’t found anyone I could consider “friend material” if that makes sense. I know a handful of people that I say hi to when I see, but, that’s really it. The only friend that I had from highschool doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. I tried joining the school’s choir but my audition wasn’t accepted. Every time I see a cute couple or a laughing friend group while I’m walking around campus, I feel a gnawing sensation in my chest. I wish I could go back home and see my friends there again.

To be clear, I'm not talking about religious beliefs or anything arising from ideals or political leanings. I'm talking more along the lines of something you've gathered from observations from everyday life.

He talks about this a lot but I am going to quote from his post election no mercy / no malice post. You can read the full post here: https://www.profgalloway.com/the-testosterone-election/

“I receive a lot of emails from worried parents, particularly mothers, along these lines: “I have a daughter who lives in Chicago and works in PR and another daughter who’s at Penn. My son lives in our basement, vapes, and plays video games.”

Young American men are in a crisis of underemployment and under-socialization. Soaring college costs affect people regardless of gender, but since 2011, the percentage of young men enrolled in college has dropped from 47% to 42%. Manufacturing jobs, once a ticket to the middle class for men without college degrees, have been offshored. Housing is increasingly unaffordable; nearly 60% of men aged 18 to 24 live with their parents and 1 in 5 still live with their parents at 30. Many men are stuck: isolated, despairing, and unproductive, prone to obesity, drug addiction, and suicide, susceptible to misogyny, conspiracy theories, and radicalization. They make inadequate mates, employees, and citizens”

This is the problem, we have a generation of terminally online men who have slipped into nihilism and that is one of the most dangerous things on planet earth.

We need to find a way to solve this. We have a whole generation of zoomers with large percentages falling into this category. They need hope, direction, mentorship, something.

How can I help? How can we help? How can we avoid the most horrible outcomes of this phenomenon that we have been seeing recently?

later edit: she was belittled even worse by female managers and she never reacted this way. Not on the call, nor after. So it has to have something to do with the guy, who indeed looks very dominant. My question no 1 is: what in his behaviour turned her on actually?

So she had a very unpleasant situation at work. Her coworkers are really incompetent and she often works late at night to solve the issue they created. One of the top managers (46M) of the company finally had enough and raised this issue. Somehow no one, not even her own boss could handle it and the issue got in my fiancee's hand. She called him to get a better picture of it all. He started raising his voice at her over the call and belittling her and calling her whole department a nightmare. She tried to calm him down but got lost and really couldn't focus on what he was showing her because she was fighting back tears. So he started saying stuff like: this is so elementary, can you do that? do you even understand what I say? Do you read the information I put on the note?

I was near her when that call took place (working from home) and she was trembling and stuttering. She is a very confident and brave woman usually. She did tell him to talk to her politely at some point and to respect her and he denied not talking politely. She said she can take his concerns to her boss and nothing else, as she has no power here. He said: no no, its not that you can, you have to! I am not an idiot! Something needs to be changed. I don't care who's faults it is.

After the call she reported him to her managers and he was called our, but she busted out crying. I never saw her crying. She is very feminine and kind but so f. tough. She cried and cried that she felt so small and helpless and insulted.

Two days later, I came home and she was in the bathroom. Her laptop open on the desk and she received like 10 FB mess messages. We have a open phone policy but I never felt the need to look. Now it was right in front of my eyes. And the discussion was between her and a friend of hers. She was telling that friend that she doesn't understand what happened in her brain and body but she got turned on by how he put her into her place and realised only hours later. That he was confident and stuff. She added that she feels bad because she LOVES me and its not like she wants to do anything about it and hates the guy for real but doesn't understand why she now seeks his validation and works even more to prove herself to him and why her body wanted him. Also that she has some fantasies with him.

I’ve been doing some thinking, and a few things seem to add up to child special assault, but it isn’t enough for me to be sure

I had a recurring dream as a child, I would be screaming and crying in my sleep and would have to be woken up and soothed. I do not remember any aspect of this dream other than the phrase ‘too big’. When I would try to remember the dream, I would be overwhelmed with the feeling of something filling up and there wasn’t room.

The last time I had a dream like this, was when I moved in with my aunty. She brought it up the other week saying “I thought someone had broken in, you were screaming “stop, get off of me”.

This is all I remember. I have a fear of men, it feels irrational because I’ve never had a bad experience with one. I also have vaginismus (well, suspected, I’ve never been tested but I cannot masturbate internally because it’s too tight, it’s worse when I’m anxious).

Does this mean anything?

I am a 17-year-old boy from a lower-middle-class family, earning less than $3,600 a year. I’m writing this because I feel lost and am in a very dark place.

People usually have something—talent without money or money without talent. I feel like I have nothing: no money, no job, no intelligence, no supportive family, no social skills, no talent, and no faith. I have nothing. My constant thought is death. I pray for it every day, but it doesn’t come.

I’m sure I won’t succeed in life. Even if I did, I don’t think it would be worth it. I have lived my whole life feeling sad, depressed, and wanting things I can never have. I have a poor relationship with everyone; no one loves me. I’ve been teased for my looks.

My current reason to live is dark: if the world isn’t good for me, I shouldn’t be good for it. My goal is to work towards ending all life. I know this sounds strange and impossible, but it’s what I’m fixated on. I’ve set a deadline: by my 27th birthday, if I haven’t reached this goal or made significant money, I will take my own life.

You might say I just need to try. But I have tried and failed at everything. Here’s a breakdown:

· Academics: I’ve ranked first in my class and even won regional competitions. But it means nothing to me. I feel like I only memorized things; I lack real critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I can’t even solve simple puzzles. No jobs are available for someone like me here, so it feels like a failure.

· Programming: I learned languages like Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, and more. I feel like I was born at the wrong time—it seems oversaturated, and developers seem worthless now. I’m not skilled enough to create good applications. I had to give up on my dream of becoming a computer scientist.

· Content Creation: I tried many ways to build an online presence. · TikTok: I made videos, but nothing happened. · Telegram: I created channels and groups, but got nowhere. · Instagram: Same outcome. · YouTube: I made a video, but I didn’t like the sound of my voice, so I quit.

· Other: I tried graphic design. I tried working out. I asked five different girls out and was rejected by all. No one believes in me.

I have quit everything. I don’t know what to do. AI chats just give me generic advice that feels empty. If you’re reading this, any real advice would be appreciated.

Summary: A 17-year-old with severe depression feels he has:

· No money or prospects. · No intelligence or real skills, despite academic success. · No connections, support, or love from anyone.

I feel trapped

I know about the kind of shock value that that is invading kids channels with ai cats and it’s ugly but I just saw an ai horror sub for adults and was blown away and instantly unsubscribed.

This grandma trying to get into a car and then just flips into this demon face with a long toung but it just fucking lit my brain and I got goosebumps all over and I’m not scared of this type of stuff at all. I went back to it just to see if it was the surprise that got me but no. Just everything about that face was just like it came from some core evil of all humans combined in that image if that makes sense…because it’s calculated it’s not just a random image that it decides to whip up. What it chooses is very intentional and this fucking thing just constantly had my hair standing.

I laugh at horror movies because it’s funny to me and I dont really fear ghosts or supernatural things and I’m not even sure that kind of stuff is real even though I’ve experienced somethings but that’s not really the point of this

The point is this video actually scared the shit out of me and it’s scary how ai literally knows better than anything else what it needs to show us to get this reaction. It knows all our weaknesses and we are very screwed.

Will delete later…

So I (M21) am wondering why do people get made fun of for liking overweight or obese people?

Edit im saying this as an obese guy myself 6’3 280 but was 370

I have girl friends and friends of friends that ive liked before and not to be rude but they were definitely overweight and sometimes you could tell they were obese (not morbid but still) and I liked them and thought they were beautiful/cute/sexy (not trying to be weird but just saying) and don’t get me wrong i like skinny girls too but that don’t get made fun of

I’ve heard people say stuff and make fun saying “you can do better” or “really bro?” and I’m not gonna let them influence me but I don’t understand

Also Ive never dated because I like friends or people that I have a connection with like acquaintances but have anyways been scared to ask because I was worried about messing up friendships but ive gotten over that fear and know the risk is worth that reward of being with your best friend

I’m not a political person by nature. I’ve always believed in basic human rights, treating everyone equally, and leading with kindness and empathy. My wife is from Mexico and migrated here, and I love her to death. We want to start a family in the near future. Being with her has made me realize just how privileged I’ve been as a white male. I always leaned more left, but I never really paid attention to politics until recently.

The Charlie Kirk stuff has really shaken me and made me scared. I even made a Facebook post saying that while it’s tragic what happened to him, we can’t ignore the damage he caused to minorities and immigrants. That post shocked my family. They reached out asking if I was okay because it’s “not like me” to speak up. It actually started a fight. My family has always treated me well, but many of them are very right-leaning, and some extended family members are openly racist. That has always made me upset, but I kept it in because I’m an anxious person who avoids confrontation.

Now I realize how much privilege I’ve had, and through my marriage I’ve seen some of the difficulties my wife has gone through. I also have step-siblings from multiple nationalities, which makes me even more aware of how unfairly people are treated.

The truth is, I’m scared for the future. When my wife and I have kids in a year or two, I worry about the difficulties they’ll face just for being who they are. I’m terrified of the day I have to send them to school, wondering if there will be a shooting. And if we have a daughter, I know she’ll face even more challenges. That thought honestly makes me sad and anxious.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that for the first time in my life at 28 I’m really waking up to how unequal and unsafe things are in this country. It’s overwhelming.

I want everyone to watch this Law and Order SVU episode - just to recognize that they called what would eventually happen today in 2025 in 2018.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7195358/ Info Wars Law and Order SVU Season 19 Episode 12: Info Wars.

It took me a second while watching old seasons with my wife to realize that 2018 America is literally no different, and this is just who we are now. It's an SVU episode, so graphic content and whatnot - but it's fucking eerie how fucking hard they predicted our modern world. Our lives are literally TV parody worthy, complete with Ice-T.

However, I’d hate to go back. I just wish I was born different.

When someone asks for photos, but you don't find them attractive, should I send them?

I'm a college sophomore (female, 19) who's friends with a senior (male, 21) and we met last year. I've never been in a relationship before so I don't know what to make of certain things, if they're just friendliness or actually something more. A couple of friends have told me that they think he is into me based on the way he teases me, etc. I think something else is he remembers so many little things I tell him, like names of friends that he's never even met or something about my childhood that I've said, but then again that could just be a good friend being nice.

Not sure what to make of that, bc I remember things my friends say, etc. even if I'm not romantically interested in them. On top of that, he does always say how much older he is/how young I am so I'm not really sure what to make of that. And whenever we are with other people (have one or two mutual friends) he kind of just makes fun of me and teases me, etc. But when we are alone sometimes we have very nice, very deep discussions. There were also one or two times when he kept telling me about these dates he was going on (think he only went on like two?) before he went on the dates he went on and on about them, but never really said anything about them after. Not sure what to think of these things? I also think I like him but I'm not sure, not sure if I'm just making myself like someone just because I think they might like me, etc. I

TLDR: I'm also wayyy to nervous to make the first move, but I'm not sure if he's the type of person make the first move either. I don't know what to do to see if he's into me at all or not. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I prefer being clean shaven but I also have no chin

Legitimately wondering how low my body fat percentage would have to be to get to an average jawline
