Sorry you’re getting downvoted. The internet doesn’t understand how to solve problems and would instead like for individual people who have no power in this to be shafted. In an ideal world, what people are saying to you would work. This isn’t an ideal world.

Where do you live that eggs are $17 a dozen???

Well…this doesn’t really fit this sub, but it’s a bit terrifying. GBS is thought to be an autoimmune overreaction to certain types of pathogens and it is supposed to be relatively rare. To see it happening as an “outbreak” is rather concerning.

Supposed you were going to buy batteries elsewhere anyway. So you saved money by doing it in one go there.

If you tend to schedule as one of the earliest appointments in the day, you’ll often be seen on time ime. It’s the later appointments that get shafted.

Due to my work schedule, I always have to pick the earliest available appointments in the mornings, and I’ve not generally had a problem with it at various places I’ve been.

I’m out of the loop…what’s going on between Japan and South Korea?

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything to add, but I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic post. Generational fighting has always greatly bothered me. The young people complain about the old people and the old people complain about the young people. Each generation feels superior to one another for bullshit reasons. Even some of my fellow millennial coworkers look down on gen z and whatever the one after it is (alpha?). I’m quite frankly sick of it.

There are many reasons why people experience this. It’s most definitely not only tied to ADHD. I don’t have ADHD and I have the issue in the OP as well. It’s not because I’ll get distracted and miss it, it’s because I have anxiety that I will or simply about the thing itself. I can’t fully relax until all tasks for the day have been completed even if I am not immediately anxious about it. I think that’s a pretty common human experience and it doesn’t really make sense to pathologize it.

I mean, he’s not exactly a slim guy. Can’t it also just be because he’s a bit overweight?

Are you the guy who posted about growing wings?

Do you think it’s a modern phone thing? I used to always be able to feel my phone vibrating. But when I got a new phone several years back, I was frustrated to find that I couldn’t feel the damn thing vibrating in my pocket and I’d miss calls and texts.

Yeah I don’t get what the issue is with notification sounds.

I’m not sure what it is, but ever since I got a more modern phone, the vibration motor has just gotten so weak compared to older phones I’ve used. I legitimately do not feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.

So when I’m at work, if I’m expecting a message, I actually have to turn the sound on and listen for it as opposed to feel it vibrating. I hardly get any notifications tho.

I’m in the US and I recently paid for a car with a cashier’s check as well. I was tipped off by the salesman. Evidently at that dealer they charge you a service fee for paying with a card or similar method. Paying by cash or check incurred zero fees.

How have you never seen a check at 30? I’m also 30 and I receive checks now and then, and I used to occasionally have to write them. At least here in the US, most jobs give you a paper check for your first check when you just started for some reason instead of that one going to your direct deposit. I also on occasion get a refund check of some sort in the mail. I’ve had to occasionally write a paper check to things like an apartment complex or utility service. It’s become significantly less common tho in 2025, but I still keep paper checks with my other important documents just in case.

Several years back when I was living in the northeast US, our local utility company was stuck in the dark ages. It didn’t have an online payment portal!

Fax machines have been built into copiers/printers for years now. That is…many printers have faxing capabilities. In the medical field, people send faxes all the time. But I’ve never seen a dedicated fax machine, myself.

I’m not Olympian by any means, but this makes me feel a bit better about my running. I’ve never really run before but I have been trying to do it semi consistently since March. For whatever reason, while I’ve been able to run longer and longer distances, I never seem to be able to run much faster. I tried a couple of times the other week and I almost threw up after one of them lol. I think I’m just going to have to accept that I’m a slow runner! I like running at my own comfortable pace better. Idk.

In some places, people also give out phones to the needy because of how cheap they are. Somehow my mom’s boyfriend got one despite him not being poor…I think it’s because he’s old and retired.

Never used it until recently. Now I use it to vent because I’m a crazy person.

There are certain degree paths where it will net you a specific career path. The healthcare field is very particular about the specific degree/certification/licensure you have. In that regard, schooling makes sense for those.

This is only tangentially related, but I just wanted to share a random anecdote.

I ordered a mobile pickup order at my local Taco Bell with their app. Since it’s nearby, I walked there and I had selected in store pickup. I walked inside and waited for a few moments. The manager comes out and this interaction happens.

Manager: “Inside was supposed to be closed. Idk who unlocked the door but you have to go through the drive through”

Me: “Oh uhh I already paid for an in store pickup through the app.”

Manager: “You have to go through the drive through.”

Me: “Uhhh…can I walk through the drive through? I walked here.”

The manager looks at me in total disbelief that someone would do that. “You don’t have a car???”

Me: “I mean I just walked here.”

Manager: “Ok hold on I’ll get your order.”

Lol. She looked at me like she had never heard of anyone walking some place to get some food lol. Granted I live literally a 5 minute walk from there which is probably not really the norm.

I’m confused at how you think that living with another human being or raising children are sexual acts? Yes, you need to have sex in order to become pregnant, but the act of raising children is a totally nonsexual activity.

I don’t have “options” because I can’t become attracted to available people around me. That’s the problem. I’m not “unhappy with the options”. They don’t exist.
