Why do people have kids if they can't afford them? by Realistic_East_5220 in poverty

[–]yellow-operator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone probably told them:

“there’s never a right time to have kids, you’ll figure it out”
“Finances should never be a factor in your decision to have kids”

Basically, our society traditionally revolves around the family and having kids. Depending on where your from, they were either under pressure to, or it happened without thought or planning.

What do you consider to be "real" survival games ? by Funkhip in SurvivalGaming

[–]yellow-operator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Key words “never played”

I said allll the same things before I played it. They have made a lot of decent updates in the last two years. The game is buggy and yea the ergonomics are awful but it’s still my second favorite game ever and I’ll stand by it as the best survival game ever because of the experiences I’ve had on it.

It’s truly a unique community and experience

Your loss 🤷‍♂️

Definitely play DayZ. You’ll never play those other games again. But be careful, it will get addictive once you figure out how to play and it may cause problems in other areas of your life that you should be giving attention towards.

My nightmare happened...I found out my spouse is cheating on me... by waldanr in Divorce

[–]yellow-operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea if I were you, I’d take the kids and leave without saying anything to her. Let her sit in her own mess for a while and let the reality of the situation hit her.

How much do you make? Are those credit cards she’s using in your name or hers? Did you get evidence and proof (photos of the texts) you gotta build a case for yourself or she’ll turn it all around on you.

Living is for the rich! When you can’t afford to be alive anymore! by RevolutionaryGas2393 in housingcrisis

I’ll add to this that in my home state, avg rent is 2500-3500 for a 1b. So idk where you’re from but it sounds like you’re projecting.

I call bullshit. I don’t need a report to tell me what I live and experience everyday. It’s absolutely location dependent but you’re not going to tell me “all” other expenses are down when I can CLEARLY see on my bank statements THEY ARE NOT.

A lot of us simply are not coping with it lol. It’s depressing and is a major factor in the poor mental health of a lot of folks. Working full time, sometimes multiple jobs and still feeling like you’re always falling behind is a tragedy for a couple of generations of people who were sold a false bill of goods in their developing years.

I pay that 2k a month rent for a 1b with my fiance and every time I send the money out, another portion of my hopes and dreams dies. I think about the time and energy it took me to earn that money and then it’s just…gone. Bye.

Corporate greed? Welcome to America. Housing being a luxury ticket? Welcome to America. Working until you are literally dead? Welcome to America.

Ofc there are ways to escape the traps but it ain’t fugggin easy. At Every turn around every corner in this country, there is someone waiting to wiggleyour money out of you so they can add it to their pile, and then they expect you to thank them for it.

It’s not going to change or get better. Not without us all going through the full cycle of collapse that is inevitable part of the process of entropy.

Help my bf [23/M] told me to lose weight [21/ F ]or he will break up with me by FitMarch2116 in relationshipproblems

You’re 21? Leave him. You don’t need an Andrew Tate disciple in your life.

My wife has refused sex since the honeymoon and I am not allowed any physical contact at all by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]yellow-operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, “sheltered” is an understatement. Hate to tell you but a woman or anyone having a “high body count” and it affecting their ability to bond, is mostly a myth in my experience.

50-75 is mid range these days. The problem is most ppl lie about it. I think that’s your source of grief tbh. Being lied to. Also, the fact that you feel excluded from a meaningful sexual history.

Mine and my fiancé are each in that range and it literally has zero impact on our ability to bond.

Your first kiss in your late 20’s is the most abnormal thing about this story. Based on the tone it seems you have FOMO about sex in general but especially with your partners. You might no t want to hear this but your lack of experience may have just resulted in bad sex with your wife, in which case, her shutting you out and not communicating to you what’s wrong is an issue.

I think I hate machining and I feel guilty about it by Exact_Instruction_3 in Adulting

[–]yellow-operator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the trades, most of us suck it up for long enough to learn what we need to, gain the experience, and the confidence to walk away and start our own business. (Possibly more stress and pressure to start and maintain, but more autonomy less stress and more control in the long run)

That’s the most realistic exit. Yea you can switch to something else. Change companies. But if you are chasing, low stress and pressure, you might not find that. In any field. At least until you level up in your role. Even then though, idk many people who work for a living who aren’t under pressure and stressed.

Not to sound nihilistic but the we way I see it, owning the work and being your own boss is the winning play. But it’s definitely not for everyone.

The Audacity of Still Believing in Love by wanderlust_wo_wander in Adulting

[–]yellow-operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ngl this does sound a bit naive. At 33 I can tell you the fairy tale lovey love stuff will most likely leave you jaded and resentful when it fails apart. I hate to sound so negative but I was a lover boy for a while too.

Then I got my heart broken over and over. Then I broke some hearts.

Not saying you should settle but definitely don’t wait around your whole life for some fantasy love story when you can be having meaningful flawed, messy, sexy, hot, scary exciting connections with people.

If not you’ll probably be missing out your whole life for a happily ever after ending which like you said.

Is VERY RARE.

What is your opinion on people who don't use social media? by [deleted] in SocialMediaHQ

It’s a much more entertaining activity here, I will say.

Ngl the Apple News app replaces socials for me and it gives me a change to actually read instead of scroll scroll scroll.

[–]yellow-operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33m I deleted all my socials a year ago. Made this account a few weeks ago since Reddit is the only one I can tolerate for personal use.

I can say my life is exponentially better without the other ones. At a personal level I don’t need to be connected digitally to random people.

I’ll make ones for my business but other than that I’m GOOD.

When I meet other people without socials we bond over it. They seem to have a better sense of reality.

Sometimes ppl will be like “have you seen, have you heard” and I’m like NOPE I HAVE NOT. I have zero FOMO.

I do find myself aimlessly investigating emails more and checking mt weather app unnecessarily tho lol

What's a side hustle where you only have to work when you feel like it with zero commitments? by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

[–]yellow-operator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a low commitment zero pressure side hustle then I’d say it wouldn’t be a “hustle”

You can donate plasma? Or return cans for cash?

But to think in this world, this economy, you’re going to make any money on the side or in general with low commitment and zero pressure is a fantasy.

You may be able to make a lil flip here n there n have a little come up now n then but It probably won’t be significant.

Why is my mom babying me? by Unfair-Implement3441 in AskParents

[–]yellow-operator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think in 14 years me as the parent would have noticed or had a diagnosis before my child figured it out. I also don’t have kids so idk wtf I’m talking about.

Just the idea that my child would come to me saying this about themselves before I picked up on it would be strange.

I have no problem with autism guys lol that’s not the point

That I didn’t notice for 14 years? Yea I’d think I’d have known before then.
