I have family in their 30s and 40s who do that 😭 I wonder if people subconsciously trust TikTokers more than other social media users since they usually show their faces.
Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination

Ugh, the second one… I used to lurk on relationship subreddits instead of just watching soap operas like a normal person, and it’s wild how quickly people jump to divorce. And if the OP makes an update where they talked it out, a lot of the commenters get mad.
I don’t know that they’re kids, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I’ll have to keep an eye out for more! I actually found it on /r/OCDMemes and was pleasantly surprised because the rest of the subreddit was as depressing as you’d expect 🥲
I automatically read that sentence in AoStH Robotnik’s voice. I don’t know if he ever even said that, he’s just the ultimate example of the Card-Carrying Villain in my mind.
I think the absurdity is part of the joke, but you sound like me in that you enjoy your fiction in an incredibly literal way. I remember being into cartoons as a kid and needing grounded explanations for everything even though the characters’ lives essentially reset every 30 minutes.
I’m so sorry 💔 Your actions sound completely responsible given what you knew. I don’t think anyone here would have predicted the outcome.
Oh that sounds rad! And congratulations!
I’m glad you’re doing better!
Oh yeah also should have fucked that lil fry cook
My mom let all her kids go to school while living at home and paying very little towards bills. I really wanted to, but my older siblings convinced me not to. They couldn’t drive, so they’d have to drop out, and it’s not fair for the younger one to go to school first. But if I wait my turn, they’ll be able to help me.
Yeahhhh, my turn never came. I got disillusioned and moved out. I could never afford to go to school now. I don’t think any of them ever used their degrees anyway.
Every day I wish I’d told them to shove it, and done what I wanted to do.
Even our “relatable” characters never deal with housing insecurity, and their cars may have rust and dents but they’re reliable.
OK, there are a few things the internet wouldn’t let me forget.
How did I know she was from The Super Mario Super Show before reading the text? I have almost no memory of that show.
Not a retiree but I approve this meme
Hope it’s a good one! 🥳
Hi! Hope you enjoy it :)
Thank you ❤️ it makes me sad though, because I know my friends act the way they do because they have trouble controlling their anxiety. Now that I’ve thought about it, I don’t hold it against them because that’s exactly what my disorder is.
It just sucks because I don’t want to let this shit control my relationships, and I doubt they do either. They’re all really funny, creative, passionate people, and they deserve safe friendships as much as I do.
Not the best. Have some kind of recurring fungal infection that I’ve just been slapping with OTC cream, but it keeps popping back up in random places. Had two yeast infections this month. I don’t think I’m particularly unhygienic so I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve racked up enough medical bills and my savings are gone due to moving expenses.
Speaking of moving… no progress. My friend who owns a van forgot they were going to help me on my day off 🙁 I think I’m getting depressed being stuck in my current place surrounded by boxes.
I’m also lonely. I lied and told my long-distance friends that I’m taking a screen break to focus on moving, but actually I needed time away from them. I have moral scrupulosity OCD and they know it but keep doing things that aggravate it, like reading these really intense moral stances into things I say and self-flagellating for not conforming to what they think my opinion is. One of them told me outright that he bases his morals on me. (I’m a mean, paranoid dropout with no background in ethics, social sciences, or philosophy, so this is a baffling choice.)
I know my mental health is my responsibility and it’s not their fault I have OCD, but my mind tortures me when I’m around them. I feel like a cult leader. Like I’m going to break them, or lead them into trouble. On top of that, they can’t stand the rituals I developed before talking to them. So in this case I think taking responsibility for my mental health actually means fucking off. I’m focusing on befriending my coworkers and keeping it extremely casual. I never want anyone to be that invested in me again.
I hope next week I can post about how I’m happy in a new place and my coworkers liked getting sushi.
I feel ya. I very rarely replace my devices and the internet speeds suck where I live anyway, so 720p is my go-to.
In my brain 720 is standard and 1080 is fancy, until I watch something at a friend’s house and sometimes it looks so good it’s unsettling
Short of a birth year in their username, I’m not sure there is one. Almost everything in this thread is something millennials inflict on me daily.
