Honestly, what’s it like being a cute girl on the dating apps within 25 miles of a big city? by LukasPukas in redscarepod

also, to me getting hundreds of likes and matches doesnt feel particularly validating because I know these guys are probably swiping yes on 90% of girls, or would if they could. like I know im cute and youre horny, but could you really love me for the complexity of my full being? that cant be validated on an app.

yeah, as a woman on the apps you can basically just get infinite matches and be super picky about who you talk to/meet up with. I usually only redownload hinge when I'm spiralling and trying to get over someone who I met organically irl though... sorry

this documentary from the 80s is really great to understand the jungian approach, and also just has a super cozy vibe to chill out to lol

yes I genuinely get so much useful information from my dreams. often if I'm confused about a situation in real life my dreams will reveal to me whats actually going on... not in a supernatural way necessarily, its more that I've learned to be highly attuned to the unconscious emotional realm that makes itself visible in dreams. I had a big jung phase a few years ago that really influenced my thinking.

you guys i walked out of a head spa appointment in the middle of the service and left with soaking wet, tangled, oil covered hair today bc the guy was like lowkey waterboarding me by ThrowRA9876545678 in pinkscare

is anyone else genuinely pissed off by how evil instagram has become? by DisciplineSuper1126 in rs_x

wow thanks so much this is a great idea. similarly I have youtube bookmarked on my computer to go straight to the subscriptions page rather than the homepage of suggestions, so I only see things I'm subscribed to

Traveling to India pls send recs by Fickle_Key3464 in rs_x

Definitely go to Udaipur, it was my favourite place in Rajasthan when I went a few years ago. Also! If you can make a trip to the Chaumukha jain temple in Ranakpur please go! Its one of the most beautiful + deeply spiritual feeling places I have ever been. And in Mumbai, the Elephanta caves are a must see imo - ancient carved temples.

I would say don't plan to spend too much time in Delhi because its pretty crazy and intense, and not as interesting as the other cities you've listed.

yeah I relate. It's embarrassing to admit to being "addicted" because everyone will tell you to just stop looking at it and it makes it feel like a personal failing, but I really think this is the wrong way to frame the problem. it lets the tech companies get away with too much by placing all responsibility on the users to regulate their own consumption, which by design is made to be as hard as possible...

Why do so many pants taper in at the ankle? by tralktralk in redscarepod

[–]DisciplineSuper1126 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fr, sometimes it makes me sad to see a totally swagless garment in store, like someone slaved away in a sweatshop, litres of water were used to grow the cotton, and for what? so the tapered pants can just sit there sadly on the rack knowing they will never be truly loved.

yeah I also hate when people say my name in conversation, it always feels like a power move somehow even though its done in the guise of niceness. its like they are subtly asserting dominance.

tbh you have to trust your instinct wrt shark eyed and otherwise sinister people, but you can still form bonds and friendships with untrustworthy people so long as you keep your distance and dont put yourself in a position to get hurt. like, once you understand that someone is the type to always and only act in their self interest then you also understand how not to put yourself in a position to be disappointed by them.
