Regular source criticism tests for everyone to keep their freedom of speech and access to the internet. You failed your source criticism test and believed bullshit? No internet for u this month.   2 reply

This is why you don't have any friends IRL.   reply

You might be confusing feeling depressed or having a burnout with "feeling old". If you have the means to do so, book an appointment with a psychologist to get checked for each condition because long-term fatigue can be life-ruining. That said, things don't just improve on their own as if life is some pre-programmed experience. If you want your li......   reply

Someone mentioned eating ass and I fully agree lol (even though I love, love, love a round full ass). Also swallowing cum after a bj. Like, I know some ppl enjoy it but no thx IRL. In a well-drawn smut tho? HOT. Another thing that isn't smutty but I cringe at every time I see: morning kiss. No matter how hot you are, a mouthful of your morning bre......   reply

"does instagram translate palestinian to terrorist arabic english" A bit of context: someone told me this is happening (or was happening). I wanted to see if there's any backlash. Meta issued some faux apology about this "error". Just thinking about it makes me angry again.   1 reply

I love bounty, omg. Literally have some in the cupboard right now. I remember there used to be bounty ice cream as well, but that was discontinued (I think?). Gotta say tho I don't like danish butter cookies at all. Never liked them, even as a kid. LU Petit Écolier cookies though... THOSE reign supreme, but they're not available in the stores near......   reply

I find the part on how they respond immediately to someone else to be the worst, tbh. It shows that it's not that they can't respond or have nothing to say - it shows that if it's you sending the message, they choose to not respond. And that's terrible. I hate to ask this, but are you sure they don't have another group chat without you? And I agre......   1 reply

The way he eats. If you chew with your mouth open and make a lot of noise, "us" is just never going to happen. A conversational ick is when they reek of the desperation to impress, to the point of bragging or name-dropping or talking about how much money they spend. Or (war flashbacks from this one) talking about how he's better than his brother (......   1 reply

I prefer dark, but with either a nature ambiance (rain) or a horror story narration (there are two narrators on youtube/spotify that I enjoy listening to while trying to sleep) for sound.   1 reply

The world has barely any justice system as is, if we added omegaverse on top of all that it would be too much to bear, honestly at that point why even bother trying to be a law-abiding citizen if the law doesn't protect you? Time to hunt alphas for sport.   reply

one of the things that helped me during my phd when the days just didn't seem to have enough hours, and I was constantly burnt out, was this: 1. use an audio recorder on your phone to idea dump while taking a walk outside/on the treadmill. So e.g. I'd do all the brainstorming while in motion. Speak loudly and clearly. 2. Once I feel all my ideas ......   1 reply

It's true, I was one of the eggs.   1 reply

My final year of PhD. It was the busiest time for research + the thesis that needed to be edited and then defended. At the same time I had a part time job teaching in that university, and a full-time job teaching in another university. Plus at the time I was living quite far from either university so I'd have to leave home around 5:30 to catch the ......   reply

nope, and you need to log off lol   reply

Reading the answers here is absolutely horrifying. I'm sorry that so many have had to go through so much - the shit yall went through is something that should not have happened. I teach econ at a small private university, and while most of the faculty are fantastic, there's always that handful who treats teaching like a power fantasy fulfillment o......   reply

I don't know if this counts as a trope, but when the story starts focusing too much on the side couple. I'm there for the MC and the MC's rights (and wrongs), and inevitably messy relationships, idgaf abt the side characters falling in love with each other.   reply
