  • Then there are the people who make their partners jealous and suspicious, even if they never were before. Have an ex like that, I remember her talking about her ex early on in our relationship and how he’d constantly think she was cheating, even to the point where he went and looked for her at the bars she’d normally be at when she’s out with friends. I thought that was fucking nuts, but just a few months later I understood him. I never did what he did, but it didn’t take long for me to feel no trust for her. Many times it almost felt like she consciously made it seem like she was cheating and then freaked out whenever I even hinted at how it looked to me and others. And even when we were out together she always found some guy who fell for her right there and then did all the things people do when they flirt, but denying that she does flirt and saying it’s all subconscious. As far as I’m aware she has never been caught cheating, but I’m absolutely certain she does. It’s been 5 years since we broke up and I still feel like my normal trust and view of people is damaged because of her. And they guy she got together with after me, less than a week, had the same experience as me. She broke him in the same way. I had never before fully regretted a relationship of any kind, no matter how short or long, but with her I do. She’s gorgeous and generally has a good personality and is easy to fall in love with, then she breaks you and moves on within a week after.





  • You seem to be unaware that they have nicotine in them. There are kinds without it, and they generally look the same as those tobacco-free nicotine pouches. But Zyn and most other common brands have nicotine, which is a stimulant, the same one you get from tobacco Snus.

    I personally dislike those tobacco-free ones though as they make me feel I’ll, and I’ve tried many kinds (and it’s not the nicotine amount, as I’ve used strong tobacco snus daily for half my life and have no issues with even stronger than that with tobacco snus).


  • I’m trying to steer my younger (13) half-brother into thinking like this, that you’re doing stuff for fun. There doesn’t need to be instant (or not instant) rewards, especially the kinds that are so common now with many games that are made for kids and teens like a “billion zoomble bucks”, ultra rare legendary gold skin (that is not actually rare in any way), digital stickers you can’t even use for anything and whatever else. The reward should always be to have fun.

    The number of times I’ve had to explain to adults that the sun is a star is way more than it should be. It never stops being so disappointing too that even the most basic shit, not this exclusively, is just something so many people don’t know, think about, have any interest in and don’t ever read more than the sparse title about that thing in the news (those titles and articles often being partly of fully false).






  • Not with a good ad and annoyances blocker. I reformatted my hard drive recently and the few pages I had to visit before installing that really opened my eyes to how bad it is, and how most people just live with it being. Hadn’t experienced much of any of these the past several years, and it has gotten a lot worse since I did. I’ve noticed that most people I know who are not that tech-savvy have stopped going to websites or even trying anything online other than a very small selection of apps, and now that makes total sense.

    It’s been awesome to see how it went from something you had to go to vegan only stores or order online to now when it’s the norm, now it’s just checking every kind you buy because a few still have animal products in them but as you said, it’s mostly vegan. It’s just non-dark chocolate that’s normally not vegan now, and I don’t expect that to change.





  • Yeah, the only two antivaxxers I know (more did know) have fried their brains to mush with drugs so them believing that shit isn’t surprising. I did lots of drugs in my 20s and knew a lot of people who did even more than me, and the two people who were always the “worst” with their use are the only ones I am aware of who are antivaxxers (In Sweden, it’s not common here at all). They’d lick a literally turd if they saw someone sprinkle some unknown powder on it just for the chance of it making them high in any way, but they would fight to their death if anyone tried to vaccinate them specifically only with a covid vaccine.
