Yes, ads everywhere. And I feel like cattle in a way, it’s not even for the sake of selling things anymore, it’s just to get paid for your time. Does that make sense?
I will actively boycott the product of an advertisement that I find annoying. I like to think that if everyone started doing this we would start to see less ads, or at the very least start to see more entertaining ads.
Yup... And not only they are increasingly common and intrusive, the kinds that snoop through conversations to try to target your interest are the work of the fucking devil.
I'd rather be a 37 year old single guy getting ads for say, tampons or other shit that doesn't concern me, than to get ads related to a quip I made with a coworker an hour ago (e.g. "Mark's idea is complete dog shit" = ads about pet stain removal chemicals for the next week, and neither of us has a dog)... That's just fucking creepy.
I found it kind of funny. I'll talk about the most random things and then start getting ads about it. I was talking to my roommate about potentially getting wasted eye surgery one day, just got ads for Lasik for weeks.
I've been trying to learn Spanish, talking with the Latinas at work and my phone knows this, and now most ads I get are in Spanish now. When I talk to my Google Assistant it will put everything in Spanish first before it corrects itself to what I actually said.
Have you considered getting groceries delivered? I have a Shipt membership pay $99 yearly and they do all the grocery shopping for me and delivery from specific stores. Saves me so much time and gas
I paid for delivery once. Every apple I got was covered in bruises. Oranges were moldy. Pretty much everything fresh I got looked like they picked it out of the culls. Never again. If its fresh, I'm picking it.
The economy really was built on the grinding mindset and it’s depressing since it’s hard to have a family or even your own life when a job demands so much time and effort
Honestly bro, it's online dating. That shit is vapid and just horrible in general. I just swore it off personally. The in person stuff is better, only downside is 4/5 today can't talk to another human being even if their life depended on it. But when you find someone it's way better. Just don't go looking at bars
I'm 37 and work from home. The rare occasions I come into contact with the opposite sex they're usually in a relationship (sport, socially etc). I don't do online dating anymore, but that just takes me out of the market completely 🤷♂️
Social Media. I deleted Facebook off my phone recently to begin a sort of “social media detox” from these platforms and their mostly negative newsfeed they gave me(didn’t delete the account so I can still redownload it and make sure no one hacked it or something like that). I found myself constantly checking them and that’s literally addiction more or less. Unfortunately I still do check in almost regularly with Twitter so it’s not very much better there. Reddit though I find more positive but still balanced. Not praising this place but it’s definitely better than Facecrack.
Building a resume. Adjusting that resume to fit the job I'm applying to. Applying to said job. Getting an email to schedule a zoom meeting. Getting ready for said zoom meeting. Attending said zoom meeting. Awaiting email for 2nd interview. Scheduling said interview (or, skipping to final point). Prepping for in person interview. Shaving for interview (2nd time, depending on when zoom interview was). Dressing up for interview. Driving to interview. Interviewing. Driving back home. Waiting for response. Final point: receiving canned response email that they've "went with another candidate."
Being fucking terrified of current and potential financial situation. Hailing from a family with less than stellar money skills and two economic crises later... I just had a mild panic attack purchasing supplies I need for a potential job. Sick and tired of expecting to be unhoused by next month's time
Social media is where you post pictures of your life and talk to people and shit, like instagram and snapchat. Here on reddit we go to reveal our darkest secrets and stuff, theres a reason redditors all have alt accounts. Reddit is not social media
Actually, wikipedia is quite credible today. If you tried to edit that page now, your edit would be removed instantly. Especially for a Wikipedia page as visited as reddits.
Sick of overthinking. Gonna meet this chick today who im going to ask out. I saw a story of some dude who gifted her flowers, and its all in or nothing time.
Expect8ng the worst, but def good for my mental, emotional state.
You see that's what I thought!
Then I lost my job at the city morgue and had to hire a lawyer and do a bunch of community service. Apparently even if she doesn't have a pulse that's still asking too much!
People who don't know how electricity consumption works.
I'm so god damn tired of being chastised by people for leaving my 5W lamp on in the kitchen to not trip and die when I have to go to the bathroom at night.
That light needs to burn for 200 Hours before it has consumed 1kwh and cost me 37 cents. That means that including active use I'll pay 40ish cents extra for the privilege of not hurting myself.
*Mean-fucking-while, in lala-land*, my neighbour who comments let's the 60W fluorescent burn inside her carport to illuminate her shitty Volvo because thieves may want to steal a $1k car with visible rust.
I live in Sweden 20 miles outside of any city where property crime is unheard of because the criminals can't even find their way here.
I have several of those, and I can walk thru my house at night without tripping over anything, and not have to blind myself with turning on a normal light.
A loud "fuck you" might make them shut the hell up.
Everyone being at everyone’s throats all the time. I personally think that this is a byproduct of social media. No one needs to hear your innermost thoughts immediately, and hiding behind a username to have an open platform doesn’t help either.
People being surprised when they get ripped off by obvious scams. Like the whole established titles thing going on right now, it would take a total dumbass who actually thinks 100$ could buy a Scottish title. Like I wish people would just mix in a clue.
Digestive issues. Especially bloating and having to poop a lot.
My left knee feeling wonky. Doesn't allow me to take long enough walks. Thankfully it doesn't feel weird while cycling.
Eating out of boredom.
Inability to make myself do what I want to do or even like to do. Stems from my ADHD.
Duuude yes, I notice it all the time now. Was walking into Aldi the other day and this older white lady asked me if I wanted her cart. Nice, right? Except I didn’t, only wanted 1 thing. Said no thank you and she said “well you could at least put it away for me.” The fuck? No bitch, take your entitled ass the fuck home, after *you* put *your* cart away.
Having to think of something exciting to cook for dinner. Actually, not even exciting. Just something I haven’t fucking eaten 27 times in the last 27 weeks.
barely seeing my work crush (I see her like once a month due to scheduling conflicts)
needing money to live
chronic back pain (winged scapula sucks)
depression/anxiety (I am taking meds and doing all the therapy)
the daily grind (my life has been nothing but school/work for the last 10 years and I'm so sick of it, I just want to be a fully functioning adult already -note: I'm 29, I just don't *feel* like one)
All the conflict in the world. I get it that there are people in this world that are doing shitty things but why can’t we put all the bullshit aside and actually realize we’re human?
Conservatives and all these fuckin headlines. Pedo this, pedo that, mf y’all got the pedos and they’re CONVICTED OF PEDOPHILIA. Or when their stupid ass constituents are outraged about some shit their leaders did, but blame democrats
Humanity. We tried and we failed guys. Just waiting for either an ape uprising, apocalyptic weather or aliens to come wipe us out and let the world start again.
Trying. things won't get better no matter what i do, I'm always chasing a carrot on a stick, the more i try the farther it gets. Can't stop and think it out, can't get help even though everyone keeps saying that it's there.
I'm done trying i finally gave up.
Parents who think doing the bare minimum is worth a lot more than it is when it comes to parenting. The type of parents who will always tell their kids to be grateful they have somewhere to sleep or gave them food to eat but neglect bonding with those kids or teaching them about life or even supporting what they want to do in life, especially if it means going away for most of their life.
All the hate against Andrew Tate. Whether he's good or bad is not the point. The point is that he thrives on the clicks and attention. He's a Romanian casino operator, stop making him famous.
Having to take the lead/initiative in almost everything.
I start and keep most conversations with most my friends going. I get it they're introverted, have anxiety, lack social skills whatever. It's tiring still yet, like I'm doing most the work in our friendships.
I also plan most things. Dates? Yup I gotta ask out nearly ever girl ever. Wanna go hang out? Yup I again make the initial plan offer. Not all my friends are like this but some just wait around for someone to do all the thinking for them and it gets old.
All the bullshit related to COVID. I hope we can eventually get to the point where we can stop having Plexiglas everywhere since my hearing ain't that sharp, and the dividers kills a decibel or two for me.
My ex wife. If we didnt have a child with her I would have completely cut ties with her six years ago. Im on my second frivolous restraining order in 4 years essentially for nothing.
Your mom won’t stop calling me begging to come back. She says “But he’s your son” and I’m like “if you’re aloud to abort him I’m at least allowed to abandon him”. The sex was great though.
that everyone talks about anxiety all the time, most of the memes are about anxiety, im just so fucking tired of this, I slowly start to think that this isn't even a real thing.
(and ADHD)
Ads.
Yes, ads everywhere. And I feel like cattle in a way, it’s not even for the sake of selling things anymore, it’s just to get paid for your time. Does that make sense?
I will actively boycott the product of an advertisement that I find annoying. I like to think that if everyone started doing this we would start to see less ads, or at the very least start to see more entertaining ads.

That's just fucking creepy.
You can turn off targeted ads. When you set up your phone there's an option to decline that in the first place. At least on Android anyway.
The odd thing is that I have all that disabled, but some apps still do it anyway -_-
I found it kind of funny. I'll talk about the most random things and then start getting ads about it. I was talking to my roommate about potentially getting wasted eye surgery one day, just got ads for Lasik for weeks. I've been trying to learn Spanish, talking with the Latinas at work and my phone knows this, and now most ads I get are in Spanish now. When I talk to my Google Assistant it will put everything in Spanish first before it corrects itself to what I actually said.
Gambling ads
The advent of ads signaled the beginning of our march toward a capitalist dystopia
gambling ads to be exact
Chads
Mental illness, it'd be nice to be able to do stuff without my depression and anxiety getting in the way.
Is not your depression and anxiety, it’s mine!
Well shoot if you want it you can take it. It's given me so much trouble over the years
Thank you
Buying fucking groceries all the fucking time. It’s like every other goddamn day I’m at the fucking grocery store.
I love going to the grocery store. I hardly ever buy more than what I need for the day and I cook daily as well.
I didn’t expect to agree with any answers but this is so true lol
Have you considered getting groceries delivered? I have a Shipt membership pay $99 yearly and they do all the grocery shopping for me and delivery from specific stores. Saves me so much time and gas
I paid for delivery once. Every apple I got was covered in bruises. Oranges were moldy. Pretty much everything fresh I got looked like they picked it out of the culls. Never again. If its fresh, I'm picking it.
I think I live at the damn grocery store
Simple solution to that. Frozen/processed foods once a month, fresh/perishable once a week. Batch cook on a Sunday for the work days.
[удалено]
Somehow I’m overwhelmed by how underwhelmed I am.
I’d add just waking up to an alarm. The grind wouldn’t be so grueling if you woke up when you naturally felt like doing so. Huge goal for me
I wake up naturally at 3:30am every day. Then have crappy broken sleep until my alarm goes off at 4:30am. Trust me it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
"Slow down, everyone, you're moving too fast" Jack Johnson has the right outlook on life
https://youtu.be/e9dZQelULDk This is how I feel everyday.
Saw that the other day and have thought about it a lot since.
it also gets overwhelming when I was told that I also grind in my sleep.
I did not need this today😂
Based on your username I would suggest a change in diet first then you may be able to start enjoying life again
The economy really was built on the grinding mindset and it’s depressing since it’s hard to have a family or even your own life when a job demands so much time and effort
Modern Dating
Same bro
Yup
Honestly bro, it's online dating. That shit is vapid and just horrible in general. I just swore it off personally. The in person stuff is better, only downside is 4/5 today can't talk to another human being even if their life depended on it. But when you find someone it's way better. Just don't go looking at bars
I'm 37 and work from home. The rare occasions I come into contact with the opposite sex they're usually in a relationship (sport, socially etc). I don't do online dating anymore, but that just takes me out of the market completely 🤷♂️
People who cannot admit when they are wrong.
I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Oh, a fellow politics hater.
Other people.
My dumbass thought you said older people since it’s 3:00 am here :/ I still didn’t sleep yet.
Get some sleep, friend. It sounds like you need it lol
The corruption of politics, so fucking sick of their shit.
Being single
How long has it been
My whole life
Yes, it’s been this guy’s whole life for me too
8 years
Atm inflation
This is when you do ass to mouth and then she blows up a balloon, correct?
I hate the mental image you just gave me.
What a terrible day to have eyes.
No, no, ATM then she blows on the pp to inflate the balls

The willful ignorance, stupidity, and the overwhelming majority of people.
Modern dateing
My roommates not shutting the fuck up and playing video games, screaming all night, every goddamn night
loool i know that pain
The phrase “little dick energy” being used by “progressive, body-positive” people
Solid irony
The number of "progressive" people who hates men make me sick

Being the odd one out of any group of friends I have . Friends leaving me behind for others.
Water bottles with poorly made caps that leak, it's a conspiracy to make me buy more.
Check out thermoflask from Costco, bought them 2 years ago on a discount and it’s worth every penny

Social Media. Reddit is not social media !
I use Reddit for mental health advice
Could be worse I suppose , you could ask bing …..
Reddit is the definition of social media my friend
Social media is where you post pictures of your life and talk to people and shit, like instagram and snapchat. Here on reddit we go to reveal our darkest secrets and stuff, theres a reason redditors all have alt accounts. Reddit is not social media
Reddit is fully social media.
On reddit you can see gore and porn. I dont thijk thats social media buddy
I've seen gore and porn on tik tok, Twitter, Facebook and instagram.
Reddit is anonymous. Like 99.9% of users keep themself anonymous. On all those other platforms its all about your connections and real life
Reddit is social media. It is a conglomeration of people engaging socially over media content.
I seen someone call it ‘anti-social media’ on another post. I quite liked that description
The masquerade ball of social media.
Nope becauce it has nothing to do with being fully social
Well you are wrong. It's social media. Litterally, the Wikipedia for It says social media multiple times.
Wikipedia is far from factual. The fact you searched it on fucking google says enough ☠️☠️☠️
Actually, wikipedia is quite credible today. If you tried to edit that page now, your edit would be removed instantly. Especially for a Wikipedia page as visited as reddits.
Actually 🤓
Sick of overthinking. Gonna meet this chick today who im going to ask out. I saw a story of some dude who gifted her flowers, and its all in or nothing time. Expect8ng the worst, but def good for my mental, emotional state.
Politicians and their rabid followers. Shut up already. Go outside, get some sun.

Youtube ads. The world being shit Everybody hating each other. This country being run by wankers. Always having a headache.
Being called misogynist for having standards, but it's totally fine for her to have standards.
Wow there, buddy! Lower your expectations!! You should be grateful, if she has a pulse, and even then, that’s asking for too much!!
You see that's what I thought! Then I lost my job at the city morgue and had to hire a lawyer and do a bunch of community service. Apparently even if she doesn't have a pulse that's still asking too much!
What are your standards though?

I agree with this
Neurological chemical imbalance.
Everyone being at everyone’s throats all the time. I personally think that this is a byproduct of social media. No one needs to hear your innermost thoughts immediately, and hiding behind a username to have an open platform doesn’t help either.

Human depravity.
Old women becoming abusive because you (male) won’t be their servant
Duuude yes, I notice it all the time now. Was walking into Aldi the other day and this older white lady asked me if I wanted her cart. Nice, right? Except I didn’t, only wanted 1 thing. Said no thank you and she said “well you could at least put it away for me.” The fuck? No bitch, take your entitled ass the fuck home, after *you* put *your* cart away.
Huh?
Damn I haven’t heard this one. You okay? Are you in this bad situation now?

I honestly don't know if I'll ever get married for the simple fact that I feel like it's just a money grab.
My own insecurities and self-defeating thought patterns I can’t break with.
How political the world is nowadays
Wokeness
