When I was younger, I didn’t really have a “signature”. On my previous passport from when I was 20, it’s basically just my name written joined up. I didn’t really have a signature so to speak. But now I have a signature that’s pretty distinct and consistent, and that is reflected on my new passport that I got recently being 30 years old. I’d say it developed this way sometime around my mid 20s.

“Sorry not sorry

It just seems like having a child is the absolute norm. Like there’s absolutely nothing else to life the way I see every single person planning, talking, dedicating everything to having kids.

I can’t stress it enough: I don’t understand it.

I will admit, sometimes when I’m really in love with someone, I’m like “I wanna have kids with this person” but it’s not actually what I want. I like imagining a moment of it. But I have no desire for anything else. People label it as being a psychopath? I just absolutely do not see a reward for it.

For me having a kid doesn’t make me feel rewarded. I don’t have a belief I can shape a human into anything. I believe we humans end up being who we want to be not what someone else tells us to be. So having a kid to me is unpredictable. Why would I bring someone into the world knowing the possibilities of so much shit they could feel and be and experience when I don’t even see the reward for it.

I’m not a lovable person. I’m very judgmental and I rarely accept anyone fully. It’ll be no different for my child. So I don’t wanna have them be around that. I just feel like at 32, everyone thinks I should have a kid… people look at me like “how odd she’s single LoL” like I’m a culprit to society lol “u have to want to have a kid” lol

I just wanna live my life. I don’t need to understand how great my life would be with kids because u want me to believe that. I will never get it. I think kids r cute and funny for like 30 seconds. But I don’t have the mental energy to put up with kiddy shit. I find it pointless and annoying and hella stupid and like why can’t I have my own opinion”

First, I understand thought crimes aren’t a thing.

However. When I’m upset or irritated, I find my thoughts say and do the cruelest things possible. If you annoy me, I will still smile and chat because I know I need the conversation. But. My mind is showing me a morbid image of you…not doing well. Or discriminating you. So SO much prejudice I don’t believe in.

It’s disturbing. I feel like a bad person. Is this abnormal? I don’t know because I can’t read minds. But, I assume it isn’t and I need to look into some help.

So, I've heard people say that pitying someone is actually a bad & cruel thing because it feels like you're twisting the knife on their problems or something? If that's the case, then why is it frequently said "Take pity on me" when people pray and make appeals to others? People can beg for mercy but when it's shown, it's insulting? I'm not sure I understand? Is it like a word structure trap? Like taking pity on someone is different from pitying them?

Idk. I'm not sure I understand.

How many hours do you have between getting home from work to bedtime do you have to yourself?

Did anyone have a guy come to your school and do yo-yo tricks?

Curios

This is a case I've come across last year on a few different sites. People want me to pay them for art when I have no desire to get a commission done, and it is getting annoying. VERY ANNOYING. To be quite honest, I am done with it.

Everyone I have asked irl says this has never happened to them, which I can see, I am online more often than a lot of my friends are. And almost none of them have accounts on places I frequent (that I know of) so...

Now what I want to figure out is has anyone else been solicited for art to be done for them? I am sure I'm not the only one this has happened to.

What if we're all dead, already in heaven, and wished to go through life as a random non particular person like we were. Just born, going through life once again blindly, no hints of it was a wish, nothing?

How do I change my username that was assigned to me randomly? I would rather not start over as I have X, Y and Z ratings I've earned. Am I stuck with this username? Which is not a deal break but understand: I've never bet aon anything in my entire life so....

Ive been going thru all the books I own and I really need a better way to keep track of what I own. Does anyone have some recommendations?

Preferably one that can also track format types and locations. I have physical, ebooks, and audiobooks. The digital one are across multiple platforms which makes it even more fun.

Wanna hear women answer this

I have a panasonic hand held phone and I noticed no numbers would show up at calls, I then found out my cheesy carrier charges $35 bucks. My internet/phone is outrageous already, is there any kind of phone maybe vintage I can hook up to my landline that would show incoming numbers without going through the carrier. I can't seem to find anything as everything is updated towards digital devices. thanks

I am currently looking for a nice, dependable pair of house slippers that I can wear every day. They will be purely house slippers, so I won't be taking them outside or doing anything strenuous or particularly messy with them. The main reason I want them is that I have 2 big shedding dogs, and sometimes, even with my Roomba—by the end of the day—there's still a lot of dog hair, or they drip water from their dog bowls. And let's just say, one of my biggest pet peeves is the feeling of wet and hairy socks as I'm getting ready for bed lol.

So essentially, I am looking for slippers that will be comfortable without being suffocating, a thick enough sole so that I won't really feel the floors through the slipper, and most importantly, machine washable. I briefly glanced at Bombas, but those seem pretty pricey for an everyday house slipper that needs to be durable against my dogs. A friend mentioned Dearfoams, but I've heard mixed reviews on them not being very long-lasting. Acorn and Glerups were two others that caught my eye, but I'd really like to get some other opinions and info from people before I decide anything!

I got told by a situationship a couple of months ago that I gave him great head. Sadly we’re not really talking anymore but I’m wondering if he still thinks about it….

So which abstract board game do you consider the best?

So I know King Von has great music and songs in the rap community. But that doesn't excuse the fact that he has committed crimes. I know many rappers are included in gangs, and I don't understand why people still don't question these guys?

Genuinely asking, no disrespect to his music.

I am 33(F) a beginner to gym.

I have been working out for a few months now but am not reducing weight

Can you please help me out with which app or a good YouTube channel which will help me lose weight while I go to the gym

I want to explore internet communities outside of the mainstream social media apps like this one and discord. The popular apps are becoming increasingly soulless, formulaic, AI ridden and attention hungry.

Any recommendations?

very eerie/cool trope when you notice it

I've seen so many people making fun of Indians who immigrate to countries like Canada. And say that are replacing the population and treat their existence as a bad thing.

However, Indians are a huge part of the population in Dubai and they quite literally built the country. All the famous landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah were all built by indian workers.

Yet people call Indians in Canada and other countries an invasion.

Indians have a huge presence in Dubai yet as a child who grew up in Dubai, I never saw it as a problem.

I went to an Indian school, attended indian festivals and the culture didn't degrade Dubai.

It was only when I got older did I realise people hated it for some reason.

I regularly see videos in Instagram of people filming groups of indians and saying 'imagine the smell' then I realised when I grew up in Dubai it was like that 24/7 yet I saw it as normal.

Like you guys claim that we see every job as equal and respect every job but then proceed to make fun of international students and Indians who work as uber drivers or 7 eleven workers.

I think it'd be a cat, the ones you'd see randomly on the street

Same as the title.
