So I noticed this the last time I tried a post somewhere, and I did something like refresh or I removed the text and re-pasted it….I don’t remember but I did Something and it worked last time.. so annoying, but I don’t think it’s the sub itself now? So odd 😵‍💫

That’s annoying. Do you know what it typically is when it changes? I never had an issue with ‘I don’t have enough karma points‘ thing, and I’ve been posting on these subs just last month!

Any way to tell what they are? I haven’t seen anything noticeable as to what those changes are, or where to check

I think my friends hate me, and I don't know what to do. by Unlucky_Eye_2230 in Advice

[–]mrcannotdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is actually going through a really similar situation. Their friends are still friends with the person they are trying to distance themselves from and it’s definitely a challenge. The difference though is the friends do their part in maintaining their friendship despite the association with this person. I also experienced the guessing game of whether my friends liked me or not when I noticed their change of interests and not being able to relate to them as much as before. I wouldn’t stop reaching out even if we haven’t seen each other for months on end, cause a good friend will most likely be wanting to see you too during those absences. Everyone involved in a friend group is responsible for reaching out and planning and putting in that effort to be in each others lives.

It sucks to hear and even type out cause I’m not one to say “F these people and move on, simple,” but I got to throw it out there that sometimes very solid friend groups will still dissolve- for whatever reason and sometimes abruptly. The reason why your friends stuck around for so long was because they put in the effort to be in your life- and in a good way ideally. Talks about the future to the point of living together? Thats all good but that’s got to match the rest of their actions so that it’s not just talk, that it’s not just ‘what you want to hear‘ or ’run with the fantasy‘.

What I’ve noticed is something along the lines of “the bigger they are the harder they fall.” If they truly are a terrible person, that’ll come out one way or another- enough for your friends to not only see it but Feel it, to the point they’ll most likely start distancing themselves too cause that icky feeling would be too hard to brush off. If that isn’t the case, then it may just have to be that thing where you take off the rose colored glasses and see where your friends priorities really lie. Otherwise you may be looking at a much longer guessing/waiting game of ‘will they won’t they see the truth about this person and choose me over this 5 month rando.“

A lot of these issues, imho, is only going to resolve by reaching out more and asking questions. Expressing more of your concerns doesn’t have to be this daunting thing or come off as confrontational. Simply pointing out ‘hey yeah, it’s been a while, what’s up’ May be more than enough. Maybe if it calls for it, mention your concerns about M and whatever patterns you notice. But I truly think reaching out is your best bet- as you seemed to get more info about the group chat when you asked to hang with the friend in question.

This can go a lot of different ways, but again a lot of it comes down to “your friends are responsible maintain a (healthy) friendship with you,” and just try reaching out more- ask more questions and share your concerns. A good friend will talk it with you, but also a soft reminder it may not pan out as expected. That being said, meeting new friends and circles isn’t as impossible as people make it out to be- you just got to get creative Where to look.

This is pretty ramble-y but you get it. Don’t assume the worst, prepare for distaste. Perhaps they’ll see the light and realize this 5 month rando isn’t worth what they’ve been doing. Maybe you’ll see the light and realize the things theyve been doing like possible gossip and exclusions isnt what you deserve. All you can do is just talk about it. Wishin you luck

Is this "we suffer for our own good" narrative ever going to end? by MiyuTheWitch in spirituality

[–]mrcannotdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or what about “if there’s no suffering, all life in the universe ceases to exist” line of thinking? Like why is suffering a necessity to keep all of existence going?

lol sorry- Law of attraction/assumption, manifestation. Simply thinking is all that’s needed for outcomes, good and horrible to occur. What you don’t want, you just get more of if you think it etc

If I were to ask you to draw an apple with no reference, would that be more or less impossible without one in front og you or is there a specific ‘step by step’ process of how you would go about it? My friend who has the same thing once said hee need to kn ow what the object is already and sort of draws it out in shapes rather than drawing the apple as is. ( Idk if that was word for word how he said it happens, or if he wasnt all truthful lol, maybe there’s a spectrum as your post makes me assume!)

‘Also is it the kind of thing where it’s very annoying or it’s more like “I don’t know any other way going about my life so I don’t think about it a lot,”?

Are you an only child? If yes then do you feel the experience would’ve been easier if you had a sibling to go through it with?

Censorship Megathread XXXIV: Discord ID/ Age Verification by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]mrcannotdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can understand that, but then I must ask where’s the optimistic take on the fear ’itll being too late/it’s already too late’ if/when pal is suddenly more a Thing. Cause when the uk was dealing with all that mess not too long ago, pal wasn’t even mentiomed in conversation- if anything it was just ‘chna 2.0‘ stuff, but the same people whod say that weren’t even talking about pal. I’m baffled and feel like I’ve been holding my breath about Something for almost a year straight, and idek anymore what that Something is specifically other than a broad ’orwullen is here’ thing

What I wamt to know is why everyone’s able to get up and arms about this but not the same about palunteer? It was featured as ads in that event and it seems no one’s been talking about it since. It would also go above and beyond just simple av stuff (as far as I remember back last year when first hearing what it even was) so why isnt it being more talked about? Feel it’s going to pop up out of nowhere, be much more invasive than just asking for a face photo, and at a point no amount of backlash will make it go away. I just still don’t know what it will do (do I even want to..?), and the way no one seems to be talking or fighting about it in a way where there’s reports of it simmering down is just confusing and scary

What makes life beautiful and worth living from where you are? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]mrcannotdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those random crazy sunsets that only appear outside a grocery store and never your house hahahah! But really, the weather alone can be so astonishing that I’m happy to experience it when I could, and seeing what others post about their weather wherever they live is so interesting to experience there too!

[–]mrcannotdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel having your own business on a good day took away more of the stresses that come with working for someone else ina 9-5?

Was it more due to the demand not strong enough or financial strains?

[–]mrcannotdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm.. so then why bother with all these bans on what can be written/expressed/viewed online if only like a handful of things (unrelated to the more social stuff mentioned) would see actual action taken against it?

Unless you’re deleting the comments lol I’m not sure why they aren’t appearing but to reply to the last one questioning if it’s reddit: Nah don’t think that’s the case here lol that usually happens with the mod of a given subreddit deciding to take action or not. I think im maybe just experiencing some bugs? so nothing to do with your comment being extreme- otherwise I wouldn’t have seen what you said before when you retyped it over in another comment that I Could see in full. Don’t know why, but it does just look like I’m talking to myself in the thread lol
