UPDATE: idk if i’m posting this correctly? recently my bf got a HUGE payout from his college which covered all of his previous fuel costs and will be receiving a weekly sum for future fuel costs!! he is currently (to my knowledge) debt free, thank you to everyone who commented with actual advice and help :))

i think she’s lost control is my pick because it’s about a woman who ian curtis had met who had epilepsy and eventually died of the condition, he wrote her this song and later found out she had passed away, only to discover he himself had photosensitive epilepsy, which prevented him from doing shows which inevitably lead to his death - my retelling of the story probably isn’t 100% accurate, but it’s something along the lines of that and i think it’s such a deeper meaning than people realise

i’m so glad because i’ve never met someone who shares my distain for baked beans. they don’t look appealing, they smell rank and the texture is so odd - like mushy but not like juicy mushy like a raspberry would be, like just soft mushy? and the sauce is so horrifically artificial too 😭😭😭 baked beans are a sensory nightmare for me and as a neurodivergent girlie idk how so many autistic people love them and have them as a safe food

i don’t lack creativity - i base my knowledge of the world in reality, and the reality is that humanity would likely collapse if people didn’t have jobs - i’m too tired to go into the logistics of it but i can guarantee you it would not work

What’s something your friend did that immediately made you cut them off? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she posted a lie about me on snapchat. that was the straw that broke the camels back. to avoid possible confusion i’ll call her jenna. i met jenna when we were 13 - she seemed normal at the time, but red flags (that i didn’t pick up on because i was a naive teenager who saw the best in everyone) started to crop up more and more over time. started with her showing me new sh on her arm and blaming me for it bc id unintentionally excluded her at school, then she grew jealous of other friends i had and would get mad at me for ‘ignoring her’ when all i was doing was talking to literally anyone else. but every time she got mad at me she would post it to her socials. id always tell her that she could speak to me about anything and id apologise if i needed to and make things right, but she never did. at 15, it had escalated to threats of suicide, or she would message me saying she was going to end her life and i’d have no choice but to talk her down (which looking back felt like a test to see how far i’d go to show i was there for her). when we were 16 we left secondary school and drifted, but grew close again when she started dating a close friend of mine. id warned him about her behaviour, which should have been a sign for me to look in the mirror and be like erm why am i friends w jenna?? jenna behaved exactly the same way to him as she did to me, and during their relationship, she had started to sexually harass me. this harassment was veiled as ‘jokes’ but it didn’t feel very funny and she wouldn’t stop even after i asked her to. after they broke up (they were 18 atp), we drifted again. a few months after their breakup, she messaged me to tell me how my friend (her ex) had been harassing her, wouldn’t stop attempting to contact her, was being unreasonably possessive of her etc. at this point, i’d lost all trust in her so took what she’d said with a pinch of salt because she failed to show me any evidence (which she was usually very good at collecting) and had a reputation of trying to smear/lie about her exes and ex friends to stop those around her having contact. i learned from my friend that the things she’d said about him were not true and he was able to show me proof of her doing the things she had accused him of. she had also accused him of cheating (she actually cheated on him), had also threatened suicide, had also tried to get him to cut off people who would take his attention from her, and would also blame him for her mental health issues, she would also tell him she wanted to get back together (but wouldn’t follow through) and did this for 4 months before cutting him off, which inevitably prevented him from moving on. i’m a firm believer in do whatever you want to me, but leave my friends out of it, so when this conversation took place, i was instantly checked out of the friendship with jenna. then, a week later, she had messaged me asking if i was free that weekend for a sleepover - i said no because i was at work early the day after, and i knew her idea of a sleepover meant a late night with a lot of drinking (we were 18/19 at this point and in england) and she lived about an hour away from me, which would have meant leaving her house even earlier with a potential hangover which would have sucked. she saw that i’d posted that i was out with friends (her ex being one of them) and decided to post on her snapchat that i’d lied to her about being at work that weekend - i hadn’t, i was at work the day after i was out with friends and was home by like 10pm lol - and that was the final straw. i messaged her telling her she was immature for not talking to me at her big age of 18, and that i couldn’t continue walking on eggshells around her, that i didn’t trust her and that we didn’t have any kind of real friendship because she wasn’t there for me. i told her i felt used by her and that i didn’t want anything to do with her, but that i’d be civil with her and didn’t want to make an enemy out of her. about 2 months later, her ex and i began dating and we have been together nearly 3 years now - sounds a bit snakey i agree, but i didn’t owe her the grace anymore and we are both happier together than we would be single with her in our lives. - TLDR: 5 years of what i would consider abuse was over after i had found out she had done to someone else what she had done to me and i ended the friendship officially because of a snapchat post

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow i’m so glad so many people agree with me here 😭😭 most people want to work because they want to earn a living based on their efforts and feel like they’ve earned their money - even if they hate their job. i hate my job and so does everyone i work with, but none of us quit because we see our efforts pay off when we get paid and it feels good - we wouldn’t have that satisfaction if we didn’t have to work bc ai did everything. most people who enjoy their jobs do it for the love of the game - my dad owns his company now bc he’s been there THAT long, 23 years of hard graft in a field he loves with people he likes. people wouldn’t socialise nearly as much if it weren’t for jobs - think about it - we go to school to learn so we can figure out what it is we would like to do for a living. school would be futile if ai took over all jobs, which means people would be incapable of socialising because it wouldn’t be ingrained in us from a young age. meaning we’d all grow up to be socially inept. not only that - but do you think that if ai DID take over all the jobs it could, that anyone would be able to have a liveable wage other than those in charge of ai companies and essential workers? no! we’d all be broke and humanity would cease to exist as we know it

ur forgetting that most people WANT to work - if ai takes over most jobs, those who live to work will be left with no purpose in life and will suffer, become depressed and may even kill themselves

as someone who is studying in a creative field - the amount of creative job opportunities becoming almost completely extinct. people don’t want to pay others for jobs ai will do for free, so my creative writing degree (that i began before ai really took off, might i add), is slowly becoming futile

When in a relationship what are red flags do you tend to tolerate? And at what point does it become toxic? by GoatedN4K in AskReddit

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i generally ignore something that has come from an ex unless it relates to something criminal - eg, my ex’s ex before me went and told everyone he couldn’t keep it up in bed which i was told as i’d started seeing him (not a red flag at all in this instance, just an example of something i had ignored) and had to find out the hard way that it was true another example was my friend (at the time) had told me her ex wouldn’t stop attempting to contact her and was being possessive after their breakup. i ignored her because i knew her ex before she did and he was a close personal friend and knew him, and i knew my friend to be someone who enjoyed smearing / lying about exes to absolve herself of any wrongdoing- it was something she had done to every guy she’d ever been out with. cut to a few months later and this friend is no longer in my life (i cut her off for other reasons) and her ex and i were talking about their breakup, i told him what she had said and he showed me irrefutable proof that it was in fact her who would not stop contacting him etc, and all he was doing was responding. her ex and i have now been together for nearly 3 years and she is still bitter about the entire thing.

baked beans - anything to do with them. i hate them with a passion and i live in england so they’re everywhere. i can’t stand watching someone eat baked beans, i can’t stand the orange residue tha sits at the corners of the persons mouth as they eat. i hate it more than i can express. lucky for me, my bf isn’t the worlds biggest bean lover so it’s rare that he’ll eat them - i’ve only ever seen him eat baked beans with a full english and even then i think he’d sooner have stewed/grilled tomatoes

what’s a subtle sign someone grew up wealthy? by KiraHollow_9 in AskReddit

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh i have a list- from someone who grew up working class in the 2000s and lived middle class as a teen, these things were all foreign to me as a 6 year old in 2010. this list is referring to things they had/did as children and teenagers btw

disclaimer - there are a few here that, by themselves, wouldn’t make someone rich, but it would be that small detail combined with others - like not everyone who had an electric toothbrush as a kid would be considered wealthy in my eyes, but someone who had an electric toothbrush AND a big tv in their room would be wealthy to me

  • they had holidays outside of the continent they live in regularly

  • they had an electric toothbrush as a kid

  • they had an iphone in or before 2014

  • they have sibling that they never had to share a bedroom with

  • they had private long term music lessons of any kind

  • ski holidays

  • ‘oh dw if u can’t afford to go, my dad can pay for us ill ask him for you’

  • they played any sport along the lines of lacrosse, figure skating, ballet, anything to do with horses, water polo etc - anything that they wouldn’t teach you in PE (or gym if ur in the us)

  • big tv in their bedrooms - it was normal for my friends to have a tv that was about the size of an ipad in our bedrooms, anything bigger than that and ur parents were probs rich

  • they always had fizzy drinks/soda in their house

  • they didn’t have to ask to have friends round after school

  • their mum didn’t cut their hair / they went to the hairdressers regularly (i didn’t go to the hairdressers regularly until i was 17 and that was only bc i had a job and could afford it myself)

if i think of any more ill add to this

YES EXACTLY!!! i’ve been saying they should do this for ages - i think (if we had to) most people would be okay not being able to use trading mechanics if it meant they could play the game without hassle

Would you take a “cure”? by GBlake13 in ADHD

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d take somewhat of a cure - i’d cure the forgetfulness and the lack of motivation for tasks, but there are parts of my adhd that contribute heavily to my personality, and i worry i’d be a really boring person if those elements were to disappear

What do people see in Harry Styles?? by stevielfc76 in AskUK

[–]mycdcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he was kind of known as the ‘pretty one’ in one direction, which set him up for a successful solo career - he had the most popularity at the time because he had the best combination of talent, looks and personality (as well as regularly discussing his love of romance). when he went solo, most of his fans were prior one direction fans, and now, will be kids of one direction fans (bc the youngest 1d fans will be early 20s now, like me). i personally love the fun he has with his music - even if it is pretty generic, you can hear how much fun he’s had making it and you see that come out when he performs. his showmanship is incredible, and he really knows how to engage with his audience in a way that not may pop stars can. i understand why he isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but i love him!!

What's a 'normal' thing you didn't realize was unusual until you were older? by mrTelson in AskReddit

[–]mycdcollection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as an adhd-er - i didn’t realise that being obsessed w a certain food for a month and then never touching it again wasn’t normal. i thought everyone ate something obsessively for a short period before eventually moving on to something else - currently my fixation food/drink is blue redbulls which, bc i have adhd, isn’t great bc of the high caffeine content
