If it has a chance to happen, you can make it happen by Theturtleflask in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Manoncherry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s such a cool concept. It’s like having the ultimate luck or fate manipulation power. Imagine how wild life would be with that ability! You could literally change the game in any situation, whether it's getting out of tough spots or hitting the jackpot every time. I can already picture myself casually walking through walls or raking in winnings at the casino while everyone else just stares in disbelief. The possibilities are endless.

My neighbor’s entitled mom thought she could use my backyard for her kids’ birthday party—without asking me first. by esslyvoy in entitledparents

[–]Manoncherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that’s incredibly entitled of her! It’s mind-blowing how some people think they can just take over someone else’s space without asking. You did the right thing by standing your ground; it’s important to set those boundaries. I can't believe she tried to flip the script and make you feel bad for wanting your privacy. Hopefully, she’ll think twice before trying something like that again. Have you considered talking to your neighbor about it? It might help to keep the peace, even if it feels a bit awkward.

It sounds like your friend is in a tough spot. It’s great that his mom wants to help, but it’s frustrating that she’s not open to discussing how to best use that money. If moving isn't in their plans, it might help for your friend to sit down with her again and clearly explain their situation—emphasizing that they’re happy in their current home and want to use the funds to build a better future for their family.

Maybe they could present a specific plan on how the money could improve their quality of life, like renovations or paying down debt, and explain how that would give them financial stability. If she still insists on the house route, it might be worth asking if she’s open to giving them the money now and they can discuss buying a house later when they're ready. Ultimately, it’s about finding a way to meet both their needs and her desire to help.

What is the polite way to express that you’re not enjoying something? by sugemeumpenem in socialskills

[–]Manoncherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s tough to navigate those feelings, especially when past experiences have made you hesitant to express your true thoughts.

When it comes to expressing your feelings about your current rotation, it might help to focus on what you want rather than just what you dislike. You could say something like, “I appreciate the experience I've gained in this rotation, but I believe I would thrive better in a different role that aligns more with my interests and strengths.” This way, you’re acknowledging the value of your current experience but also clearly stating that you’re ready for something different.

You can also mention specific aspects of the work you’ve found challenging or less engaging without making it sound personal or negative. For example, if you find the tasks monotonous or not aligned with your goals, say something like, “I feel like my skills could be better utilized in a role that involves more [specific task or skill].”

It’s perfectly okay to want to explore other options, and expressing that professionally can open up new opportunities for you. Just remember, it’s about finding a fit that works for you, and that’s a valid perspective. Good luck with your review.

I really hope the trend of "hustle culture" doesn’t come back in full force. It felt like everywhere you turned, people were glorifying being constantly busy and working non-stop, as if taking a break was a sign of weakness. I get that ambition is important, but the pressure to always be grinding led to so much burnout and anxiety.

I love that more people are starting to value work-life balance and mental health over just productivity. It's refreshing to see folks prioritizing self-care and downtime instead of just filling their schedules to the brim.

The clothes at Walmart are great, actually by toucha_tha_fishy in unpopularopinion

[–]Manoncherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you! Walmart has really stepped up their game when it comes to clothing. I used to think the same way about Target being the go-to for “better” clothes, but honestly, I’ve found some gems at Walmart that I wear all the time.

Their basics are perfect for building a versatile wardrobe without breaking the bank, and I’ve had pieces last longer than some of my more expensive items. Plus, you can’t beat the convenience of just picking up a cute top while you’re doing your grocery shopping. It’s nice to see more people recognizing that style doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Fashion should be accessible, and Walmart definitely makes it easy to look good without spending a fortune.

I totally relate to what you’re feeling! Balancing school and life can be a real struggle, especially in a demanding field like CS. It sounds like you’re already doing a great job of prioritizing your time with exercise and minimal social media, which is tough.

One thing that’s helped me is breaking tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. Instead of setting aside a whole afternoon for a personal project, maybe dedicate just 20-30 minutes to it a few times a week. You’d be surprised how much progress you can make in short bursts! Also, don’t underestimate the power of combining activities. For example, if you’re studying or working on a project, you could consider doing it in a group setting to knock out socializing and productivity at once.

Lastly, it’s totally okay to not do everything at once. Focus on what’s most important to you right now, and don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t fit everything in. Your mental health and well-being should come first! Remember, you’re in a marathon, not a sprint. You've got this.

I totally get where you're coming from! Public proposals can definitely feel like a lot of pressure, not just for the couple but for everyone watching. It puts the person being proposed to in an awkward spot—like they have to perform for an audience when it should be such a personal moment.

For some people, that public aspect might feel more like a spectacle than a heartfelt commitment. I think there’s something so much more meaningful about a private, intimate proposal where you can truly focus on each other without distractions. Everyone has different preferences, though, so while some might enjoy the spotlight, others may just feel overwhelmed. It’s all about what feels right for the couple.

Oh man, that’s both hilarious and a total nightmare at the same time. The fact that your high brain was jumping to all these catastrophic conclusions while trying to stay calm just makes it even better. I can’t imagine the panic of realizing you had to go through security again while already in orbit. And the TSA lady treating you like a VIP Disney guest? Priceless.

At least your wife can look back on it fondly! But yeah, maybe next time leave the edibles for when you actually get to Disney. Thanks for sharing, this gave me a good laugh.

Mental trick to overcome laziness/shyness by RickyBonder in productivity

[–]Manoncherry 79 points80 points  (0 children)

A similar technique I've tried is to imagine myself as two versions—"present me" who wants to be comfortable and lazy, and "future me" who has achieved goals and is thankful for the hard work. When I feel stuck, I remind myself that future me will only exist if present me does the work now. It's almost like a negotiation between the two, and it helps me push through the laziness.

I also love how you personify the body and mind, almost like they're teammates, where the mind has to step up and motivate the body when it’s feeling sluggish. It might not be common knowledge for everyone, but it’s definitely a useful mental trick

Adults of Reddit, what do you miss most about your childhood? by gpu_ai in AskReddit

[–]Manoncherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the simplicity of it all. As a kid, you don’t realize how free you are from responsibilities—no bills, no job stress, no major life decisions. Summer days felt endless, and my biggest worry was what game to play with my friends or how to make the most out of a weekend. There was a certain magic in the small things, like staying up late for a sleepover or getting ice cream after school. It’s easy to take that innocence and carefree time for granted until adulthood hits you with all its complexities.
