For an example: when I was pregnant I’d wear a necklace daily. My partner’s mother did the same thing when he was a kid and one night she woke up with it twisted around her neck while pregnant, she had a feeling she had miscarried due to the entangled necklace because it had never happened before. Unfortunately, she did miscarry.
I made a point of taking off my necklace each night before going to sleep after hearing that story because I didn’t want that to intensify his fear of a potential miscarriage. He never noticed me do it throughout most of the pregnancy then randomly asked me to take it off before bed one night (which I was going to but hadn’t quite went to bed). That’s when I told him I did it every night.
I personally didn’t care about wearing a necklace to bed, I understood it was probably safer not to but I mainly took off my necklace for him

So what’s a kind gesture you did for your partner because they cared and not because you or both of you cared about?

Thanks for all the good you bring to the world. I'd love to sit down with you and talk. That goes for anyone. We need more humanity in this human dominated world ❤️

I never shave because I dont care.

Men ask me a lot how I look or to send picture, and when I finally decide to its like they get scared or confused.

Going from interested in getting to know you to either blocking and no longer interested.

Women I meet, same thing. People are very picky when looking for “friends” they have to find you attractive. Up to their beauty standards.

I think im way too nice. And I may look androgynous so that probably plays a part. Could also be hyperpigmentation.

I just can't withstand how AI generated food images have ruined the eating experience for me. Most of the time it's some ridiculously plasticy food like image with a weird yellow saturated tint.

I miss the old days when the restaurant used to show the actual food they make.

Was just talking about silly would you rather situations for fun.
I asked my gf if she’d rather have no arms or no legs, and she said no arms.
For some reason it bothered me lol and I’m not sure why
I was like are u sure
Like why would one rather have no arms so they could walk around better? But we do everything with our arms
Look at professor X he couldn’t use his legs but he’s doing pretty good

This is gonna sound really fucking stupid for most people but I've never really bothered with times table memorization, I know it but only up to a certain magnitude, well below what I'd consider the average.

Everytime I wanna add, subtract, multiply, divide, whatever, I just... count really fucking fast in my head.

Sometimes I'd do this thing where I visualize dots, and then start counting them like fuckin apples on a kindergarten textbook.

I also feel like it needs to be said that I graduated in a STEM field.

Time perception after 2020 has been completely broken.

You hear a song or think of an event from 8–10 years ago and your brain automatically files it under "recent history" until you actually do the math. Anyone else feel like the last few years moved at 3x speed?

I'm usually affable and friendly, and I cherish close friends as much as I can. But there have been times I had to cut someone off or reduce effort towards the friendship, and I feel terrible after. Care to share your experiences?

I am having such a hard time figuring out what is real and was is AI content around this Nicki Minaj running for office stunt. Can anyone shed some light on this or even give me some background to kick start my online deep dive. I feel so silly asking this, but literally every other comment around this has some kind of AI content tag.

Also this is so dystopian.

Most skyscrapers were built during the office boom of 1920s-1960s.

Back then hand to hand was extremely important and they actually had so much need for file space. Whole rooms filled with files, suits to go to work everyday.

Now people have zoom meetings in their underwear and a dress shirt.

The days of needing all those buildings are long gone but we are stuck with whole cities unable to tear them down 😂

I save a lot of Instagram reels, browser links, posts etc. but I never go back to them. Many of times this saved information was very important but I still never went back to it.

Do you guys have the same problem? do you ever go back to your saved links, posts? Just want to know if people do revisit their 'once upon a time interesting' stuff and do something with it....just wondering how people go back to this saved interesting stuff, is there a reminder you use for eg?

I noticed last week I was giving my little fern a pep talk before leaving the house, like it would somehow hear me and stay hydrated while I was gone. It felt completely normal until I said it out loud to a friend and they looked at me like I had lost it. Now I cannot stop wondering whether everyone does little things like that when nobody is watching. Maybe it is just an odd habit, or maybe most of us do it and never mention it because it sounds silly. Either way, I would love to know if anyone else catches themselves doing something surprisingly personal with an object or a pet and only realizes later how odd it might seem to others.

I once spent a whole month practicing how to tie different kinds of decorative knots, like the ones sailors used to use on old ropes. I got pretty good at it too, could do them in my sleep. Since then the skill has sat completely unused. I do not sail, I do not camp with rope, and none of my friends have ever asked me to decorate a gift with fancy string. Still, every now and then I catch myself wanting to show someone just because the muscle memory is still there.

I booked a flight drunk and now I’m regretting it. I can’t refund it and I don’t know what to do. If I go I would be spending an additional $2000-3000 on the trip(this includes accommodation and transport, food, clothes etc.) you recon I go all in and spend the money or just take the $1000 L and save the extra $2-3000 I would be spending on the actual trip. I won’t be broke if I come back but Ive been really wanting to save money. Do I just go because it’s booked or do I take the $1000 lost and take it as a lesson to never do anything impulsive when drunk

I feel like I have problem as I am not good with confronting people. I tend to ignore things or just let them slide until one day i have a fight or argument with a person and then bring out everything what they did in the past. I don't know what to do. I was talking to a guy and then after 2 months we had this full argument over a week about how he doesn't have for time for me in they way I wanted. I also brought up things from the past to which he got triggered at and then we eventually stopped talking. Any opinions or thoughts on this are welcome.

I don't believe a canned/tinned food item, or medicine, for example, expires the exact date stamped. And "best by" dates are also up to my discerning. I know someone who obsessively marks canned and dry goods with a fat Sharpie so they can find it easier to then trash it. I 😅 have been getting the items thru his new wife who he has forced to comply with his way of thinking.

She also has to toss out of date frozen items regardless of the fact it is frozen (steaks/chicken)

I have been eating very well and saving tons of money due to this.

I have owned the same Cold medicine for 2 plus yrs! I have been taking a 2024 Dayquil that has still provided me the cold relief I need. Yesterday I had a dose of the Nyquil of the same batch. It did exactly what the medicine does. No different than when it was brand new.

Still alive.

What's the best depiction of Hell in your opinion? This could be movies, television, books, art, or anything else that comes to mind. Are there any reasons why?

I feel like I'm missing out a lot by not being into anime and manga. I'm not sure why but I just don't enjoy them. Older animes I like, like Eva, Gundam, or Cowboy Bebop, but new ones just don't work for me.

For one, it sucks because when I read the premise or plot they actually intrigue me a lot. But then I go watch them and I just don't find them fun.

But the main reason for feeling like I'm missing out is because I'm actually missing out on a lot of very accessible merchandise and communities. There are anime or cosplay events everywhere, anime plushies and keychains on people's bags, various pop up stores, and all my friends are into them. So it's not the media per se, but the real life part of it. Especially in Asia.

It's not as easy to find goods of things I like, but if you like anime you can just go to Animate or something and you can find relatively cheap merchs. Whenever I go into these kind of stores I feel kinda sad because it must be so fun for people who like anime to go there.

okay so i have this thing i do where if i am walking home alone late enough that the streets are empty i will deliberately pick the long way around a random block instead of cutting straight across. it adds ten minutes and there is literally nothing there but i do it every time. i think part of it is pretending the whole city is mine for a few blocks or maybe just liking how the echo of my steps sounds on the empty pavement. i never mention it to anyone because it feels a bit silly once i say it out loud. sometimes i even slow down on purpose so the walk lasts longer. it is nothing dramatic and i am sure plenty of people have their own weird rituals but this one is mine. i wonder if anyone else does something pointless like that just because the night feels like it is waiting for them.

Here's the specifics: When me and my partner were minors, we met on VRChat and have been together ever since. We've met up multiple times irl over the years. I wanna know how people feel about this.

I remember being like 5 years old sneaking on dresses lol. Over 20 years later still a very enjoyable hobby for me. Of course now i do makeuo and everything which i didnt do back then, but it just always been a part of me. I used to just dress and hang out by myself, then started posting on reddit acually lol, then started going out in public sometimes. Im not trans, i enjoy being a man, but i also enjoy the clothing,art,makeup creativity,style, and the feeling that comes with wearing womens clothes.

I made a couple of cute videos of me, and when i look at them I simply think how sad it is she’s (me) never okay and suffer so much. What a pity it is that her life is as painful as it is for her, but she still manages to look pretty and happy.

And i get this suicid** ideation kinda feeling when you imagine how my life will be looked at by my peers when i’m already gone, and they’ll feel sorry for me.

I don’t plan on kms btw. but i do feel like i will die young and this will have been a sad example of what life could look like
