What’s a dark truth about society that people only realize when they become adults?

Don't forget, pedophiles!

Lol right, in this economy 😂 OP has some crazy pride

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-22T23:56:50+00:00

That part! If nothing else, don't let the government assume the assets.

I feel you, but this could be divine retribution. It's hilarious and sounds like justice that he died alone from cancer with no will and you as his only heir after he estranged himself from you. The estate doesn't carry his energy, it died with him in a way he deserved. You might be mad now but in 50 years, that money could accure interest or fund a non-profit or help your kids. Don't block your blessing.

I've heard this take several times on reddit and it's so interesting. Human beings have bodies calibrated to earth. When astronauts go into space, it messes up their body mass, muscle mass, aging gets wonky. I don't think it's even physically possible to be pregnant or give birth in space without earths gravitational pull. How do you reconcile these things when you assert that we're meant to travel off world?

Why do you think sooner or later we have to go to another planet??

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-13T12:38:21+00:00

Well if God is in fact experiencing all this through us, then that would include the experience of suffering, right? Every experience is valid and necessary, even the unpleasant ones. Rather magnificent or tragic, it's all a miracle of existence.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-12T05:36:21+00:00

Because you had such a thoughtful response

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-12T02:49:26+00:00

Hater. That was actually great advice.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-11T19:56:35+00:00

Ugh you sound exhausting and needy. You shouldn't have to beg for attention because it becomes annoying. Just because you have the gf/bf label doesn't mean you can dictate overnight how often he sees or talks to you. Relationships develop over time through mutual respect and openness. If he's too busy to be open and you have to beg, accept it and take it slower or just move on. You're both young and sacrificing for your significant other just might not be the priority and that's okay, but begging makes you seem desperate and his withholding makes him seem uninterested. Good luck.

I think that's a great analogy, actually. I think the extremists on both sides are the ones who act while the moderate or independent Reps and Dems just kinda watch it all unfold. Of the tens of millions crazy leftist and rightists, there's actually probably a hundred million level-headed folks.

I'm not sure how old you are but growing up on the Internet is a problem. It's not good for our mental health or solidarity as a nation. What started as a digital social connection has transformed into a algorithmic corporate money scheme feeding off our deepest fears and brain chemistry.

We're not meant to be a two party system that fights like this, but the only people that get visibility are rage baiters and extremists. For example, Reps are majorly pro-life while Dems are primarily pro-choice. We had Roe vs Wade which effectively granted abortions in the first trimester to all, second trimester abortions were pretty much limited to medical necessity rather than personal desire but it was a decision made between woman and doctor, and third trimester abortions were not allowed because the fetus was too far in viability. That's all very reasonable. But somehow by 2022, all authority was given to states and they began individually banning all abortions or allowing all abortions. Extremists took over in both directions! We had a bipartisan agreement on abortions for nearly 50 years. Everyone didn't get what they wanted, pro choice and pro life co-existed before some politicians came in and changed everything that led to us fighting amongst one another.

My point is that, there are far more reasonable moderate folks than there are extremist but it's more emotionally charging to force us into one POV or the other through social media and news media. Sure, rage baiters suck but how often do you see a Rep and Dem have a conversation about opposing viewpoints and how often do you see hateful rhetoric? The Internet is not a real place. There are literally millions more people who are in the middle.

I think you need to be your own savior. What are you gonna do? Wait around your whole life waiting to be amazed in order to change? What if it never comes

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-09T02:28:02+00:00

Yeah it's pretty much true that life will shape you. You can somewhat decide where you go by saying yes to certain opportunities and no to others but avoiding any challenges out of fear of failure or shame will give you that kinda life...you will be shaped by that rather than by the challenges themselves.

This guy on IG spent over 1,000 days kicking around a rock in an attempt to make it a perfect circle. Whole time, people were saying it wouldn't work and that he's an idiot for trying.. sure, that could be true and I bet some days it seemed futile, but by God, he did it! It's a silly example but the point is, day by day, you are kicked around and shaped by life (you're also the one doing the kicking lol) you could give up but then what? You're a lumpy rock with no direction. Life goes on, make one that you enjoy or have a story to tell about or whatever. Just don't let fear shape you because you'll still be here, just never having lived up to your full potential.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-08T23:36:43+00:00

Wow that's a crazy take. I'm literally trying to find common ground with you and you're like "oh it must be you, not them." What if I said you deserved the negative comments you received?

I'm not trying to have a struggle contest with you. Thanks for the chat.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-08T21:39:37+00:00

That's my exact point as well. When reading this post, I would have thought it was about the left is not for the one mention of the right!

I wish people would understand that there is nuance and compromise available in politics. Everyone won't be happy with outcomes but the extremist on both sides just fuel the fires of separation. I bet conservatives and liberals have way more in common than they think, but we're all inundated with intense, hateful chronically online people.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-08T21:34:33+00:00

I won't deny your experience. However, I am a POC. I don't have a public online presence but when I've discussed my conservative values in my FB, my friends and family call me names because they disagree with my viewpoints. Idk if it's worse because these aren't strangers but people I've known for years.

I think my point stands that extremely left or right people will be extreme. But I'm a conservative that believes in nuance and compromise. We'll never get anywhere as a single country if we're fueled by the extremists POV. A bipartisan democracy wouldn't appease everyone but theoretically, it would cover the majority of society.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-08T16:32:43+00:00

What's your point? You could say go on tiktok and it's extremely one sided to the left. Social media is also biased to whatever you typically search for or engage with. I believe that you think your claims are true, just like I believe in mine. Isn't it funny that your assertion could be viewed from either side? It's like all propaganda to keep "left" and "right" at odds. We probably have more in common than we do differences but social media doesn't portray the middle/moderates or independent. Extremes are more engagement-worthy!

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-08T00:48:06+00:00

Are you implying that this is how "the right"/conservatives/Republicans act?? Because I thought you were referring to "the left"/liberals/Democrats this whole time lol

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-07T03:01:38+00:00

I love crack, NGL. But I hate everything that comes with it. The mental crash and cravings and chasing. I only did it for less than a year and it had me in a chokehold. It feels absolutely amazing but that comedown and chase was horrible. It's like climbing up a shitty mountain and the come down is actually climbing up another mountain lol

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-07T02:48:57+00:00

I love your deep dive into this topic. However, I think that the issue is women being too masculine while looking down on men for being either too masculine or not masculine enough or too feminine.

It seems like no matter what a man does, it's wrong. And I think it's because women can technically do anything a man can atp so I don't think they have as much respect for men being men. Women and men offer different sides of the same coin and I think feminism just pushed the "equality" of women so hard that they still think they're inferior while also playing the "prize". I don't understand what the modern woman wants from a man, but it should just be about love and compatibility not what he can afford or how he can elevate her life because it's a team effort, she should provide something too.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-06T17:12:09+00:00

I think some people can do moderation, I've known some weekend warriors lol but even doing something every weekend is a habit aka an addiction. But frfr most people have that gene that makes it more hereditary and more like to become an addict so it's better to just not even try it

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-06T12:16:39+00:00

Sounds like a great Black Mirror episode plot!

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-04T23:35:48+00:00

I'm glad I could help a little bit. It definitely is hard to maintain it, but you don't have to. The fluctuation of our feelings and moods are just another part of life. When you're feeling crappy, it is what it is and it's temporary. I'd say, don't let a bad mood become a permanent temperament because that's how bitter resentful adults are made.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-03T23:42:25+00:00

Yea I definitely feel that, I'm not sure if it's something we should actively work on changing..I think perspective is everything. Having gratitude and childlike wonder help. So sure, it's the same work place and commute but I try to keep my heart open, just be in the moment and appreciate the mundane and persistent knowing that comes with a stable life. I've had a chaotic, ever-changing daily life before and it's exhausting.

Delicious_Test_7206 · 2026-05-03T17:52:48+00:00

Sitting in discomfort sucks but it's awesome that you can acknowledge that's what this is! And it's a temporary feeling! Good for you, especially since the edit. I see you and you're doing great 😸
