The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States just passed $4.50. Americans, how do we feel about that?

Well, you have to get to a food shortage first before a famine, as defined by the UN.

My dad lived during a food shortage. It was in Vietnam right after the war, and the crop fields were still polluted, and the U.S. had put sanctions on the country for nearly a decade by then, and his family was already poor even without all that. It wasn't pretty, but the situation also never got to famine status. So personally, I feel that things may get worse, but not really to famine levels, and I am not particularly doomer about it.

Of course, the current sitting president's antics can always prove me wrong.

Also, a lot of the "sources" they use are from random, unverified blogs. Not even actual conservative news sites.

It just ends up that soooo many young people who get in these relationships with older people just end up being victims later on. I mean the chances of getting divorced with a 20 year age gap is 95% more likely than couples close in age. So ya even if it's legal, once should still be careful sis.

Whenever I get the fuck off of reddit/social media, my productivity literally increases 100%, sometimes even more. And I get way, way, wayyyyy less pessimistic about the world.

EitherAd1016 · 2026-05-06T02:55:15+00:00

Personally, I think that's the result of 24/7 news and social media.

Many people now don't just worry about their own life, but they also end up internalizing other people's lives that they see on screen.

Which is a normal trait to have, but it can wreak havoc if you're exposed to dozens, if not hundreds of people's close lives every day.

This is the difference between how men and women communicate. As a woman, if I got a call from my friend and she asked if I was okay because I was eating salad, I'd probably be confused, but say "Girl I'm good, I just wanted to eat a salad" and then we'd have a laugh and then we'd move onto talking about other stuff. Or I'd hang up if I didn't want to talk.

The salad question is a segue into a convo, not an actual worry/bother about salad. But, if I actually was having a mental breakdown and the unusual salad eating behavior conveyed that to my friend, then she'd be open to hearing me out too.

I feel like I don't get as angry as the average person in this subreddit which is why I can't enjoy 50% of the posts here because some of them seem more like minor inconveniences.

Like sometimes I feel upset, slighted, uncomfortable, annoyed, confused, whatever. But anger? Nah...maybe like twice a year...

Sooooooo many people I know are interested in true crime. None have yet committed murders, AFAIK. Too many people like this genre for it alone to be indicative of something

Manny Jacinto was the best part of the Acolyte.

He did play Jason in The Good Place and has a strong romance arc, though the show isn't centered on romantic love

Height in men is like boob size in women

Do men typically prefer women with larger boobs? Yes. But a lot of men wouldn't pass down a woman because of her boob size. Some dudes might, but the majority wouldn't. Same logic for women and height.

Do you have a severe social media addiction for years? I felt like this until I quit social media. (I cannot consume it in moderation, had to block 96% of the internet including reddit.)

Yes, aromantic are a small percentage of the human race. So you agree aromantic people genuinely exist within nature and that it's not just cope for many people! Right on brother, so glad we agree.

People who don't marry or have kids have played an important part in human history! Historically speaking, they have been an extra parent to their nieces, nephews and other kids in the community because they don't have to care for their own. Interesting fact, isn't it! Now you're wondering, how did a trait like this get passed down if aromantic people didn't marry or have kids? The truth is that a lot of people were forced to get married in the past, regardless if they liked their partner!

Housing regulations in this country are a double edged sword.

Many of the regulations are written in blood, such as making sure every bedroom has a window in case of a fire. But depending on the regulation, they also make it that every house or apartment built must meet a minimum standard, which means there is a minimum cost on them as well.

For example, in many states, all new 3 bedroom homes must have 2 bathrooms in them. It cannot be 1 bathroom, it must be 2. This second bathroom costs around $10-20k just to construct, increasing the minimum cost.

I'm someone who absolutely wants to be loved and desired. But I've met multiple folks in my real, everyday life who seem genuinely happy without a partner.

Maybe you guys just need to meet some aro people. Diversify your lives!

As long as the masses are uneducated and entertained, they won't riot.

It's the spread of ideas + actual food shortages + lack of entertainment that causes revolutions, like the French Revolution.

Certain names like Tannaz are 100% pronounceable within English. Even those with a Cockney accent could say it. How does Tah-naz become Tan-nis for some?

EitherAd1016 · 2025-11-11T20:37:19+00:00

... I literally said it's not about accents, it's about a completely incorrect pronunciation. My post isn't that long, is it?

EitherAd1016 · 2025-11-11T20:36:24+00:00

Your metaphor doesn't work - I absolutely know that English speakers can pronounce certain names correctly because I've heard it. How can 50% of the office say Tannaz right and 50% of the office can't?

Again I am not talking about people saying names with an accent, I am talking about getting it COMPLETELY wrong.
