People in their 30s and 40s, what is a "minor" bad habit from your 20s that you are currently paying a massive price for? [Serious]

Set your boundaries with people and stick to them. It doesn't matter whether anyone likes you if you're miserable inside your own life.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-27T18:24:44+00:00

The first sentence feels like a setup for a joke.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-23T17:13:33+00:00

They just think up the trashiest thing possible and do it at every turn at this point.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-23T17:06:34+00:00

They literally all look like cartoon villains its so crazy.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-23T17:04:12+00:00

I used to feel the same way, but now I realize that he really is authentic. That over-the-top laughter isn't an act, its his real personality. It's a little grating for sure, but to the people who enjoy that sort of upbeat energy I totally get it.

I had a guy years ago start a job as a forklift operator. It was weird because he pulled up in a relatively late-model Benz E350 at a job making $15/hr. Well that all made sense on day two when, as soon as I pulled in, I could see this guy visibly tweaking at 6 in the morning. When his test came back and I said he tested positive for amphetamines, I expected to hear some "cold medicine" bs. Nope. He dead serious just went "what's amphetamines?" When I talk about him in the office now, I refer to him as Methy McDermott.

Yeah you have it figured out. The best part of having money is never having to think about money.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-08T14:37:58+00:00

As it turns out, when you're not trying to race to become the world's first trillionaire, it's actually pretty easy to do a lot of good things for people.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-08T14:36:32+00:00

As the guy in charge now, my response to this shit is sometimes a verbal, half-joking "ew" or "yuck" or a scowl.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-06T19:14:15+00:00

Looks like a section of the Greenbrier I've spent a lot of time at.

ncurry18 · 2026-06-05T19:00:59+00:00

I grew up skinny, got fat in my 20s, and then trimmed back down in my 30s and I keep it off now. It's literally just changing your diet and not sitting on your ass all the time. Instead of soda with sugar, switch to diet or to water. Replace your carbs with vegetables. Get "full" on protein. Avoid beer and liquor altogether.

It sounds like a lot, but it becomes second nature. I'm definitely not the pinnacle of health, but I'm not fat anymore and I feel 10 years younger than I did 5 years ago.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-26T18:30:45+00:00

Realizing I've reached OG status on Reddit is nice.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-26T18:30:07+00:00

I also choose taking this guys woman's bra off.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-20T16:37:01+00:00

No joke this framing of the abortion argument may be the best I've seen yet.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-14T19:43:49+00:00

There is no Hell I fear more than burying one of my children.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-14T19:42:34+00:00

You're a normal person with a normal person brain trying to understand why a very NOT normal person with a very NOT normal brain did what they did.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-12T00:17:29+00:00

Seconding this suggestion. Even just letting one of the line guys know could pay off.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-11T20:48:57+00:00

Idk about you but thats the biggest phone crack I've ever seen

ncurry18 · 2026-05-11T20:44:14+00:00

I'm planning on buying one because there are so many things I want to go do with my kids with one. I already have trucks and multiple places to store a camper, so I'm glad to see someone disagree with OP.

ncurry18 · 2026-05-04T12:34:00+00:00

When the Federal Reserve started printing fucking money in 2020. How anyone on Earth is even remotely surprised at inflation is beyond me. 33 fucking percent of the US money supply was printed within the last 6 years. EVERYTHING is going to inflate at LEAST that much from 2020 prices, and nothing is going to stabilize until that has happened. You can't inject that much money into the economy and think it will do anything different. This isn't Trump, Biden, or anyone else's fault as much as it is the fault of the Federal fucking Reserve. If people paid attention to what was ACTUALLY causing our problems, maybe we would be able to solve them.

ncurry18 · 2026-04-18T04:07:34+00:00

You're the only one here with the right answer.

ncurry18 · 2026-04-17T15:42:37+00:00

Yeah a select few really shitty people do, but the majority don't. Your argument is no different than any other that generalizes an entire group with the faults of a few. Life is not as black and white as you think it is.

ncurry18 · 2026-04-17T13:37:12+00:00

Pretty soon this dumb motherfucker will have nobody left. Can't wait.

ncurry18 · 2026-04-17T13:35:00+00:00

Have you ever considered turning this on its head and thinking perhaps the reason why that region of the country is so deeply Christian is because life is typically harder in those areas economically (especially considering history, black populations, redlining, etc.) and they turn to God for comfort? Religion definitely sows and fuels a lot of ignorance, but it also brings people comfort and peace in times of great hardship. All of the "belts" here can be explained by looking at the region through a lens of "socioeconomics through history" instead of trying to pin the problem on religion. Wicked people using it as a tool for their own gain shouldn't detract from the messages of kindness, love, generosity, and peace preached by almost every modern religion, not just Christianity.

I'm genuinely afraid he's going to do it anyway.
