  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • Seems kind of silly...but the downtown started this tradition years back in coating the entire facade of the buildings in Christmas lights...not in a gaudy, cheesy way, but one single color per building. One shop would be blue and the shop next door would be red, etc. It started to become "known" in the area that this town would have the most lights ever in the downtown. They basically made a festival every year about it and more and more visitors seemed to come from out of town. And as time went on, more and more business neighboring the downtown started taking part. It looks amazing at night...every single building entirely lit up in a different color. I haven't seen it in years...I guess it'll be almost 10 at this point.

  • How can you protect yourself from an abusive and violent sibling when you are financially dependent on your enabling parents?

  • Agreed, @[email protected]. Get a job. Any job. Ideally one that could pay a bit more than minimum wage and/or one tangentially related to the field you want to go into. But you can't afford to be too picky. That's step one.

    Step two, move out. I know you said you don't have friends. You don't need them. But you need to find a roommate because you're unlikely to be able to afford to live on your own.

    This reddit link has some ideas/websites to try for step two. It's not an exhaustive list on how to find a roommate, but it's a start.

  • Check out the mental health community that MonsterTrick posted. It's fairly active!

  • Have you ever pretended to be interested in someone, especially someone who was interested in you? How did it go?

    Jump

  • Wow are you me??? Do you identify as asexual? How have you navigated things this way? It's for me...humans are social animals, right? So I have a very deep need for connection and intimacy...just not of the sexual or romantic kind. So it's a struggle to be in such a fringe group of seemingly contrasting needs that aren't compatible with 99% of the world.

  • Never buying milk from Walmart again

  • Damn both of y'all getting really hardcore in the comments over some milk.

  • On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant

    Jump

  • On Samsung phones, you can turn off your phone via the notification bar drop down.

    That being said, I still prefer to have my power button bound to...well...power options lol.

  • On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant

    Jump

  • Well luckily you can change this on Samsung phones. I'm assuming phones with the default bound to Google Assistant will be similar. Annoying and stupid, for sure, but at least you're not locked in. I'm sure a lot of the general population won't have the basic know-how to change it though, unfortunately.

    I once heard someone say, 'Jobs are like high school but with adults.' Would you say that's accurate?

    Jump

  • Wow. You are very lucky. My current job would be the best ever except my supervisor makes my life a living hell. :(

    I have been here so long that it is hard to leave my friend.

  • What was the largest hair root you plucked?

    Jump

  • So I have a tendency to get multiple hair roots that coalesce into a single bulb. Probably around 3-4 follicles combined into one I think.

  • Do gender roles have a stranglehold on heterosexual relationships, or does social media just make it feel that way?

    Jump

  • Just by realizing this and making this comment honestly says a lot about you. A lot of good, that is. I'm rooting for you, OP, and I hope you eventually find a healthy relationship. :)

    Are you tired of movie remakes and reboots?

    Jump

  • Idk...they were still doing this shit plenty pre-pandemic. Disney is notorious for it and it has bothered me to no end. I refuse to watch any of their continual releases of abominations of older great films.

  • Is there a "healthy" amount of dandruff?

    Jump

  • That doesn't sound normal if you are looking for comparisons tbh

  • Do all American stores have greeters?

    Jump

  • Lmao so I worked at a Dollar Tree for a few months before. Shit was wild. You were expected to check out customers, stock shelves, and put away "go backs" (items that customers didn't want) on the shelves all concurrently. Because there was never anyone working in the store bahaha

  • Do all American stores have greeters?

    Jump

  • I honestly did not realize Walmart ever had greeters. They've always had someone at the entrance/exit. But they just check my receipt to make sure I didn't shoplift. I didn't realize anyone acted as greeters there. Is it the same people checking your receipt for shoplifting or no?

    Also, in case OP wants to know...most stores do NOT have receipt-checkers at the exit, either. It's just that Walmart does because it's a store that is prone to shoplifting.

  • Thoughts on becoming self-employed and making a living off my passions?

    Jump

  • It's unwise to jump headfirst into a body of water unless you know what lies below. Start slow.

    You talk about influencer stuff. I get that being an influencer doesn't seem to be your sole desire, but I'll use it as an example anyway. All of the YouTubers I follow didn't start big. They did YouTube as a part time thing while still holding their main job. It was only to the point where they started really succeeding at YouTube that they dropped their original career.

    I say go for it, but start small. Don't quit your job for this until you start doing really well in it.

  • Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025?

    Jump

  • Lmaooo maybe that was an intentional look then

  • So I get that socially in most places it is not acceptable for women to go totally topless. We can argue about double standards, but I'll let other people do that.

    What I actually have noticed is that nowadays in a lot of Western cultures, women can get away with just wearing just a bra with no shirt in public. No, it's still not being totally topless, but it is a lot better heat-wise than wearing both a bra and then a shirt on top. Just it can't be like lingerie, but more like a sports bra or something. I've done it when heading into a shop after going for a run and not gotten any complains. I see others just occasionally walking around in something a sports bra when it's hot out, not even relating to intense exercise. Try it.

  • what are some signs of being led on??

    Jump

  • Not really related, but this is one of the many reasons why I've never been able to be in a relationship. I don't feel that way about others, so faking it feels wrong to me. I went out with a guy a couple of times and felt gross doing that. So that's about it.

    Sometimes it's frustrating that I can't have an intimate relationship with someone that way, but what can you do? Have to go through life with the cards you're dealt, I guess.
