I always like to walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic. In USA, where vehicles drive on the right side of the road, I like to walk on the left side. It feels like it is much safer in the sense that the vehicles that pass close by are actually in my field of vision and I am not as scared of vehicles hitting me from behind. What do others think?

I always see things about like how Joe Biden is too old to be president because he's in his 80s, and I definitely agree with that, but why is it always Joe Biden and not Donald Trump this is about? Trump is only 4 years younger, when both of them are 77 and 81 that's not a huge difference to me

My wife and I are having our first any day now and we've been taking a birth and parenting class. The teacher has done a great job of scaring the crap out of me. The last class was about the first couple of months and the gist of it is we'll be so busy and so exhausted that we'll literally have no time/energy for anything else. Is it really that bad or is the teacher just trying to prepare us for the worst case scenario?

Look, any headache is enough to weaken me, and I can barely settle. I am wondering how busy women manage to go through life normally with most people not knowing when they have painful cramps. Do you use painkillers or you got used to it? Just how?

Both my parents are dead. My mom passed away in June. My bf of 10 years loves to disc golf. When my mom was in the hospital the week prior to her death, up until her funeral, my bf didn't miss a beat hanging out with his friends to disc.

The morning after my moms funeral I get a message from my boyfriends best friends wife asking how I'm doing. She told me that my bf was texting her husband that I was "freaking out about shit constantly" (word for word). She also said she wanted to check on me because she noticed my bf had asked her husband to hang out daily, even while my mom was dying.

I was still in bed when I got these texts from her. I approached my bf and calmly said "I don't like the text you sent Justin". He starts freaking out that he didn't text Justin, he texted Patrick. I said, "okay then you are telling multiple people this".

I tried explaining to him that I have no parents left to feel proud of me. I explained I thought I handled everything very well. I arranged the funeral, I picked out my moms clothes. Took our kids funeral clothes shopping by myself while my bf golfed. I had to knock on my moms friends doors and tell them what happened. I have bad anxiety, and I was brave. I have social anxiety, and I wrote and spoke the eulogy. I did all of this while keeping up with household chores. I knew if my house got messy it'd add to my stress. I wasn't in bed crying, I wasn't picking fights - there's no reason to say I'm "freaking out about shit constantly".

"It's just how guys talk!" "You're just looking for something to be mad at me for".

I asked him why he couldn't just apologize.

"Sorry you're freaking out about nothing."

Then he starts to say shit like "you know what I don't like!? You wanted to abort our son! I didn't like that very much either! You're hurt!? Well that hurt me!"

Saying this right in front of our son..

I can't get over this, because I just needed a hug and some empathy. If I can't be over sensitive the day after my moms funeral, then is there ever a time? Also, if I was freaking out constantly - okay. Why did he leave me alone with the kids so often? I don't see how both can be true.

I can't let this go because there has never been an apology or any resolution. I can't get over it because if we are going to be together forever, this isn't my last tragedy. I wasn't supported during this one, why am I going to wait around for the next one? Id rather be by myself.

I can't have my bf constantly asking for sex and intimacy with this on my mind. He only cares about me for my body. I would just like to talk and have him tell me how hed react differently if he had the chance. You can't change the past, I don't expect him to. But he just keeps saying "you can't let those texts go!" - am I crazy? I'm mad about his reaction to the texts. There wouldn't be an ongoing issue if he would've just apologized. At any point. Even a week ago. Just apologize

I used to get interesting posts, news, etc. Now the popular page is just random stupid memes and ads. The content on my feed is literally trash and I hate the giant tiles. Reddit now feels like Facebook, which I refuse to use. So guess I'm gonna uninstall Reddit too. Old Reddit will be missed, new Reddit and the official 'Reddit' app suck. Dumpster fire.

I mean, it’s cute, but I feel like they have larger eyes than older kids or adults do.

Hi I just found out(photo evidence) that a coworker (father of 3) is cheating on his wife with a girl at the office, the wife is such a nice girl she left her job and everything for this guy and cares a lot about her kids and I just find it unfair.

The girl at the office has slept with most of the guys at the office but plays as if she is a saint, I find this ridiculous but it is none of my business, don't want to put any tags on her.

As a side note, we are in Japan so if the wife decided to divorce him she could ask for some money from the girl.

Should I tell the wife, and possibly ruin her and the kids' lives, or just keep it to myself knowing that her husband is an asshole?

My whole life, it's been like this and I've always been mildly annoyed about it. Now I'm 30+, and this still hasn't changed the slightest. I'm no longer living with them, but spend a good amount of time with them. In this post, I say "them" but it's mostly my dad.

Examples off the top of my head:

• A few years back, they'd randomly walk into my bedroom while I'm there and:
  • open/close the window because it's too hot/cold
  • open/close the blinds because it's too dark/bright
• Now I no longer live with them, but we work in the same space.
  • Randomly walk into the office while I'm working and switch on the AC (we share an office space)
  • When at my place, they might randomly start cleaning things (my place really isn't messy BTW).
  • Pressuring me into accepting furniture/plates/help from them while moving in (even lying about wanting to throw it away to start with, so that I'd accept it)
  • Specific example: we went to a restaurant and I politely told the waiter about something that wasn't right with the order. I'd asked my dad to let me do the talking because I know he'll lead it otherwise. I insisted multiple times on this before the waiter arrived. When the waiter arrived my dad stepped over me and did the talking. I had decided to keep the wrong order, but he insisted I return the order and get the right one. I gave in under the pressure.

This makes my blood boil. Even typing this makes my blood boil.

I know it comes from a good place, but the point is them making a decision for me while not even considering what I might want.

Is it normal that this makes me so tense?

I've never been asked for proof of education (beyond a high school diploma for my first job at Starbucks) and from what I'm seeing, even people with degrees aren't getting hired, so it doesn't seem like it matters anyway.

Obviously this is not regarding anything where the education is "actually" necessary like practicing medicine or law or whatever. Just wondering if for example an entry-level receptionist job wants me to have a bachelor's to answer phones, can I just tell them I have one?

About a month ago I was working at a fast food place and I woke up throwing up I called in and told them I couldn't move without feeling nauseous but they said you still need to come in at 4 I argued and then they said ok come in at 8 so I took a lot of flu and cold meds and headed to work I made it around 7:15 around 7:30 the manager came up to me bitching about them being short staffed and she didn't care if I wasn't feeling good and I should have came in so I told her I'm not willing to risk the food violations we can get if a health inspector comes so she said if I can't do my job she can easily replace me so I got angry and said ok replace me and walked out. And to let you know I have huge anger issues and warned them about it when I did my interview so was I wrong

I am currently going to therapy for my anger via probation for running from the cops and letting my anger get the best of me

My boyfriend made a fake account on Instagram and messaged me, trying to get me to send nudes to the fake account. I immediately knew it was him, just because of the profile and the way he talked, but I played along. Even if I didn’t know it was him, I wouldn’t have cheated. I’ve been cheated on and I know how much it hurts. But this whole thing kinda makes me feel like he doesn’t trust me. Was his test valid or should I be worried that he’s thinking like this?

My daughter is turning 12. She is very moody and with attitude at literally everything I say to her. Rolling eyes, stomping feet, sassy talking. Sarcastic responses to my questions or when I ask her to do a chore. It’s never ending. She is only nice when she wants me to do something for her or buy something. Anyways I was planning a birthday party this weekend and I gave her a warning that if she keeps it up I’m gonna cancel it. Well she kept going later in the evening with the attitude and I told her it’s cancelled and that I’m not spending a dime on a party for her.

Do you think birthdays apply to consequences? This is my first time dealing with a child in this age group and it’s getting difficult as the days goes on. I don’t want to ruin her birthday but I also don’t think it’s appropriate to spend time and money on a party if the child doesn’t show respect or is polite.

What do you think? I really need the advice.

Title says all. I'm considering not eating processed foods (or cutting back to say once a week) because I've been struggling with weight loss and have read that processed foods sabotage weight loss like a cop at a worker's union.

My question is, what exactly is considered "processed". Besides the obvious fast food, I'm not stupid enough to think I could eat a whole pizza in one sitting because it's not processed, but I'm not exactly sure what I should stop eating in order to say I don't eat processed food.

My cooking skills aren't the best, I love meat way too much to consider letting it go, and processed food is everywhere.

I have been married for over 15 years and I have always been faithful. I am married and I have a few kids. I married for love and thought I was marrying a woman who truly loved me and wanted to work with me as a partner to build a better future. My wife yells and screams all the time and does not respect me. She expects me to pay 100% of the household bills such as mortgage, taxes, insurance, car payments, utilities, etc. My expenses exceed my income, and she tells me she doesn't care. She says I am a man, and it is my responsibility to pay all the bills. Her income is more than mine, however, she does not help very much, and I am drowning. She told me she would divorce me if I made her pay half the bills. When I ask her if she loves me, she says she does, however, her actions do not show it. What are your thoughts?

It's really stupid when they say it just happened. Can it actually be unintentional sometimes?
