I always thought they didn't actually work, but I'm hearing more and more that they actually can have some level of an impact. Which brings me to the other extreme: why would I go even a day without taking any vitamin or supplement I could have taken that day? Are we all just too lazy to be tremendously healthier by taking like 20 pills each morning?

Why do people brag so much about how early they wake up? Who cares if you get up at 4AM to go to the gym? These people are in bed by 8PM. I'm honestly curious why we as a society (at least in America) see this as so much better than keeping later/more reasonable hours.

In 2019 my wife and I bought our first "beginner home" for 150k at a 3% interest rate. It is now worth 270k. We couldn't afford to live here now if we didn't already own it. So what the f is happening? I know they raised interest rates to like 8% which should bring down home prices but the home prices haven't gone down almost at all. Why? What happens if they bring interest rates down again? Will home prices go up even higher? I try talking to my mom or someone about this and they always say "well back in the 90s interest rates were high and always have been etc etc" and I'm like well yeah but housing has gone up like 300 percent in the last ten years so it doesn't make it better or make sense. Also throw into the mix that property taxes are going up as well, amd this is just a shit situation for pretty much everyone. So what gives? Will it get better?

My wife is a huge fan of taylor swift and we just saw her in concert not too long ago.. she bawled her eyes out the whole entire time meanwhile she didn't even shed a tear on our wedding day. I love her, but this all of this fan girl bs has left me feeling a bit bitter. I like some of taylor's music, but when my wife asked if I liked her recent album "midnights" I was honest and told her that I didn't. She was angry with me and just kept trying to get me to relisten.. her obsession with taylor has gotten worse and I'm tired of feeling second to a gosh damn celebrity..

I’m sure there’s an algorithm, but how do I get my home page to show more posts from the other communities I follow?

We're going on a mini vacation with our best friend couple.

It's my good friend's (F30) birthday, she's extremely thoughtful and I want to make her feel special on her day as she did for me on mine.

We also went on a mini vacay for my (F28) birthday. She brought fun birthday necklaces and a bday sash, just a little something to make me feel special as well as a decently priced gift.

She makes quite a bit more $ than I do but I got her a moderately priced gift that I'm sure she will like and for a little something extra I wanted to also do a box with tissue paper and some cute things inside that aren't exactly "gifts" but things I know she will enjoy. Im feeling a little insecure about it as it's not a big fancy gift and afraid it might come off as cheap or like "hey I made this instead of buying you something" (even though I am also giving her the other gift, which is designer shoes around $60)

Honest opinions please. I don't want to insult her or come off as trying to be cheap for her on her birthday when she was certainly not cheap for me on mine.

I’m straight. I’ve only ever had girlfriends, I dress fairly normally (I guess you could say that my style is grunge/skater) I’m not flamboyant or extroverted. I’ve been told that I’m pretty, but that’s just genetics. I don’t have or do any of the stereotypical characteristics that would lead someone to say ‘they’re gay’

What about me is leading to so many people thinking that I’m gay? Coworkers, friends, strangers on nights out, they all think it.

Why are mens clothing departments always an 8th the size of women’s clothing departments? Mens fashion is so boring. All we get to choose from are plaid, solid color shirts or some stupid graphic tees with dragon ball z or someother cartoon on it.

Posting this for my friend who doesn't use Reddit.

I (30F) am currently pregnant with my third child. I have two beautiful daughters, and had the appointment to discover the sex of the third two days ago. Turns out it's gonna be a girl as well! Both me and my husband are over the moon. We didn't have any particular preference, so we're looking forward to welcome our third daughter into the world.

We've announced the news to our family and friends, and a lot have congratulated us and are sharing our joy. However, this joy has been disrupted by some comments. For example, some have told us "aww, not a boy, but congratulations anyway!". Or "I was sure it was going to be a boy, but a girl is amazing too!". Basically, some backhanded comments either implying that having a boy is "better" than having a girl, or implying that we wanted a boy rather than a girl. We've never told anyone our preference on the sex of the baby, because we don't have one!

So my question would be : how do I confront these types of comments? How do I politely tell them that this is not ok?

I am 29 M and lived at home until I was 27. My family is from Europe and they were ok with me living at home while I saved up for a house. I saved 20% and am forever grateful to my parents. I have friends who were kicked out at 18 and they are still renting, or just recently bought a house with 3% down and high interest rate/ PMI. It feels like their parents stopped caring about helping when they turned 18. This is still causing a lot of them to struggle. Why were many of them kicked out at 18? I asked and they said “it’s what their parents did to them” It doesn’t really help me make sense of it.

In a thread about the difference in treatment between unattractive men and unattractive women, it was highlighted that women are judged based on their looks first and foremost whereas men are judged by their capabilities. I’ve noticed as an ugly woman myself that men are very superficial when it comes to looks and will assign a number out of 10 to a woman straight away.

What do you think?

I’ve met 3 people in my life who obsess over it. 1 of them was a teacher who was actually kind but the other 2 where people who bullied me in high school and would use their belief in constant positivity as a way to bully me as stupid as that sounds.

To give you an example, there was this one girl who was making fun of me and when I tried to come up with a come back to defend myself, she said something like ,”ugh I don’t have time for this negativity.” She then went on to repeatedly say things like “I’m glad I’m not miserable” and stuff like that just completely randomly while we where doing our school work and I hadn’t said a word to her.

Has anyone else had similar experiences or are these just strange people I was unlucky enough to have met during my life?

I was in Starbucks today studying for my store manager position at DG and I had to write notes down and only realized when I started writing it had been almost 3 years since I picked up a pen. I know it sounds like crazy situation to be in, but even my college classes are online and I do notes on my laptop, and my Apple Pencil for iPad. I don’t know if this is just me or is this something that just happens when you are out of school. I’m only 20 but have been out of grade school since may of 2021, and even at that point I was doing online since COVID.

So my girlfriend moved in with me about a week ago and she knew ahead of time that I have to sleep with a fan on me because I'm so hot natured.. well tonight she told me that it bothers her really bad and I suggested that she can sleep in the other room if she wants to because I can't go without it. This really pissed her off and then she told me "if you lost some damn weight you wouldn't need the fan" which isn't true.. I'm only 9 lbs overweight and I've been sleeping with a fan on me ever since I was a twiggy teenager. I can't help it that I get hot so easily. She fell asleep about 2 hrs ago, but complained about the fan until then. I kinda feel bad.

My friend was never religious until 2020. Now he wears a cross on his neck and since this he's started to believe some really stupid stuff.

Lost my grandma last week and can't really get over it. What about y'all?

Edit: thanks everyone for all the kind words so far, this got surprisingly big. I hope you guys can find a common loss, and chat with each other as a coping method. Something I saw on the back of a car that I loved, "dad, your wings were ready, but my heart wasn't." Ofc my grandma and not my dad, but the point is there. We can get through the pointless hell-like feeling, love you guys and stay strong. :) ❤️❤️
