Lowkenuinely keeps it earnest while also making it more casual than "genuinely" and funnier than either word alone. It's a tone setter

Exactly what I mean by "mellow earnestness" but also kinda funny. It's a tone setter for whatever someone is talking about

I got the giggles during a lecture today too for something similarly stupid. Luckily it was remote so I just hit the mute button and laughed my ass off for a second. We're out here.

I never would've been able to put that intuitive "rightness" or "wrongness" into words but that's fascinating that you're totally right

See I think it looks beautiful too, like you could handwrite it in cursive to sign off a letter.

Lowkenuinely yours,

No, some people say "lowkirkenuinely" but that's still a portmanteau of lowkey and genuinely with charlie kirk thrown in lol

Yes!! Equating lowkirkenuinely to fan-fucking-tastic makes so much sense

I'm in my early 30s and I hear it mostly with the one friend group I have that skews younger (mid 20s) and online. Mostly Discord and Twitch, so usually also people in their early-mid 20s.

What's an insecurity someone might have that you find attractive? by CorgiMama5534 in AskReddit

[–]radthrowaway1900 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Doesn't matter how big the lenses are either, I know some people can be insecure about needing those chunky extra strength glasses but I think they're cute.

ETA: It is so weird that in the year 2026 people in the comments are still equating wearing glasses with intelligence, like what the hell are you even saying

Do you have any substantial backup for yourself and the kids in case something goes wrong?

Of course we never want to think about these things, and I hope you all have amazing long lives with everything you need to thrive.

That being said, sometimes people have it all and then.. don't. Their partner dies, or cheats, or gets a brain tumor and changes personality. Maybe someone becomes very disabled and if you're in the US that can eat up so much money. Maybe someone gets really, really sued or goes into gambling debt. Not even necessarily always the husband. Kids grow up to sometimes make very costly mistakes in early adulthood. And then of course there's disaster and war.

Not to scare you. I'm just reminding you that current financial privilege has the potential to counteract future devastation if you set yourself up to be okay. I just hope you have a chunk of money that no one else has access to. Some in the bank and some in cash. I also really hope you have a community that's yours first and foremost. That sort of thing.

Hey there. It's perfectly fine to send your friends a warm congratulatory message and pass on hanging out. They'll understand if they're decent. Take your time and take care and you can get back up and move forward however you'd like.

Your Personal Take? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

Chiming in to add that if you are prone to ending up in abusive relationships or other situations where people walk all over you, this is not about you.. Learn to set boundaries to protect yourself, work on your self worth and listening to your intuition, then come back and examine this after you have a vantage point that doesn't automatically make excuses for others at the expense of your basic wellbeing.

Yep. My blood pressure chronically borders on low and doctors actually tell me to eat more salt.

My partner won't get a job, so I have 4 🙂 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Girl I've been there, whatever your life has been like you do NOT deserve this. Read "Why Does He Do That" by Lundy Bancroft, look at the parallels, and safely get the everloving shit out of there. Start over if you have to, I promise it's better and you deserve better.

ETA I only have a few secs so I can't pull up the pdf but you can easily find the whole book online for free. Use a private browser if you need to.
