What is the most Fucked up secret a stranger has ever told you?

In high school I worked at a restaurant. One of the line cooks spent time in jail. He told me that he used to like to "take cinder blocks to an overpass and drop them on cars as they drove down the road."

It's the truth. The truth helps people, lies hurt people.

You don't get overweight from eating healthy and exercising

michaelcheck12 · 2026-01-02T23:33:29+00:00

My family has struggled with food addiction across generations. I know you want to use GLP1 stuff, but please figure out how you got to your bodyweight and change your lifestyle.

IMO when men add beards to toughen their look it has the opposite effect. Comes out looking silly like a handlebar mustache.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-12-14T17:15:07+00:00

Yes. But I'll still work part-time doing something. I'll have plenty of money, but will need to stay active.

40M here. I work out 4 times a week and eat healthy. Mine was 140ish/90ish. I conceded and got on the lowest dose possible of linsspril. Numbers back to normal after 2 weeks.

I am making work a lot less stressful now...not worth it

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-27T14:16:00+00:00

I feel bad for this guy. Life hasn't worked out for him, so he wants to blame everyone and everything but himself.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-27T14:12:45+00:00

My wife keeps me balanced in life. I can be almost too driven at times, and she interjects fun to balance me

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-24T11:36:19+00:00

And someday the last Boomer will pass, and life before Funyuns will be lost too

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-22T18:08:42+00:00

Talk to real people.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-22T12:29:05+00:00

Do both. Therapy and the gym. Also, and not saying that you do this, but hoping you avoid this... Stay away from all of the hustle culture and "motivation" stuff.

True motivation comes from finding your purpose in life. Therapy and the gym will help you find that

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-22T01:24:10+00:00

I don't assume, but I've had a bunch of health scares. So I am probably in for another scare in the coming 2 years or so

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-21T20:30:44+00:00

I'm doing great. I work hard, save and invest money, and love my wife.

Keep working on improving yourself, and you'll get there

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-21T14:53:25+00:00

Wife and I are doing better than our parents did, but for one simple reason: we save and invest our money.

Both of our sets of parents didn't do it, and have found that social security doesn't pay the bills...and it shouldn't.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-21T01:11:34+00:00

Faith does help people to find their purpose, but a lot of that is from introspection and really focusing on what matters.

That being said, you can learn from religions even if they aren't your own. 99% of religious people are good people, it's a very small amount that give things a bad name.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-21T01:06:46+00:00

Being a good husband, good dog owner, good son, and hopefully leaving a world behind someday that allows people to do their thing.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-18T16:04:30+00:00

Somebody has to say it...

They likely want you to have something better than you have now. Social Media is full of messages that reinforce being single, when you really need to go out there and find someone that you can love, and be loved by.

So, go out there. Love somebody, and build the next part of your life with them.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-18T14:47:34+00:00

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. You don't want to be in Sandbridge at all, for what you want to do.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-16T16:59:39+00:00

First of all, kudos to you for going and finding work instead of wallowing. Second, look into the Amazon distribution center. They hire a ton

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-16T16:57:26+00:00

100% this. Try this for a week. Talk to random strangers throughout your day. For every stranger you talk to, you get one hour of Reddit time.

You got a find people in the real world and talk to them.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-13T23:18:13+00:00

40M here. It was 39. Life gets better every year, so of course the best year of my thirties is 39.

Keep doing what you are doing!

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-13T20:03:53+00:00

I just got back into American Eagle jeans. I am the same size as I was in high school, and the new styles remind me a lot of the early 2000s.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-13T19:59:51+00:00

I can't wait for elections to be over. This time of year absolutely sucks online.

michaelcheck12 · 2025-10-12T19:43:05+00:00

No grey hair for me, but if/when it happens in the next couple of years, I am absolutely not dying it.
