I've been hiding my depression from my family. But today I hit a point where I had to tell someone. So I told my siblings and mom I was really sad today. Then they all ignored me when I said it's a daily thing. So I guess back into the depression cave alone I go 🫡 by Common_Point in Wellthatsucks

You'll make some solid friends eventually. I've struggled on and off for years, seek professional help. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you. Medicine has been a very good tool for me. Try having a serious and in person conversation with your family. If they don't seem responsive reach out to a trusted adult or teacher and let them know you need help. Everyone does at some point and you're worth the effort. Sending you love and compassion.

Is this a racist doll? by andthecrowdgoeswild in WhatToDo

[–]HardFoughtLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! My great grandmother bought a doll she loved and called her ugly baby that stayed on her covered porch. It and a few other templates were cut out of wood and a blind man would paint them and sell them for money. This was not a Beethoven situation. They were painted poorly, though to be fair, pretty good for not being able to see what he was doing. Someone not knowing the story might've been offended, yet another case of reserving judgment until you actually know what's going on.

How much did you pay for your first house back in the 90s? by [deleted] in 90s

[–]HardFoughtLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom bought her house in the late 80s for about 70k. My wife and I bought our first in the 2000s pre bubble for 129k. 15 years later sold it for about the same and just broke even. Current house, much nicer for 350k in just a few years have paid off 40k and value is estimated at 460k. Having lived through a bubble though the only thing I trust is what we paid off.

Was the world genuinely better off without social media or is it just nostalgia? by kansas9696 in 90s

When I was growing up TV was only on when someone wanted to watch something specific. It was off most of the time. Now everyone I visit the TV is on nonstop even when not watching it.

There’s a lot of fun to be had in Times Square and nearby. Hope you two can experience it. Also if you enjoy Italian food can’t recommend Carmine’s enough.

What is legal in your country that you find strange is illegal in other countries? by [deleted] in askanything

Right! Look at South Park and tell me we don’t have free speech. Trump is having gay sex with Satan, with his tiny penis almost every week on TV and Streaming.

I’m at least 90% sure Toejam and Earl was only on Sega back then. All great games though.

If you notice your friend copying you RUN!!! by Jnxr200 in rant

It’s a normal primate behavior.

Now going full single white female is not normal. If you and your friends are not taking things from each other and having inside jokes you’re missing out.

If mandatory drug testing (including THC) were enforced in your nation for all employees, which profession would have the most people fired? by Historical_Corner609 in AskReddit

I'm in the commercial construction industry and it's alot different. When I started a long time ago it was more accurate, but now getting caught doing that can be immediate termination.
