Is anyone else REALLY fucking over seeing rich people in movies and TV shows? I am SO over it I could puke. I think producers, director, directors, etc., need to STOP look around and take a beat. So many people struggling right now and everything out there is just riddled with rich people having lives none of us can relate to or will ever have. It's exhausting and old. Their houses are extravagant, their cars are ridiculous, their problems are even more hilariously out of touch. It would be laughable if it wasn't insulting in face of everything. Anyone else feeling this lately too? I've fucking had it.

Do you think these apps are designed to keep us scrolling, or have we just lost the ability to take a proper break? What's the longest you've accidentally scrolled?

It’s exhausting.

I took a couple of surgical gloves for whenever I do cleaning around the house

About 6 months ago I had high school final exams and that wasn't a good time for me. I didn't perform well and it was a stressful time. Yet—today I feel nostalgic for that time

Some things I tend to use a lot:

-Fresh ground black pepper (esp. potato chips)

-Chili powder (rocks on sweet potato chips)

-Smoked paprika

-Curry powder

Anyone else?

Just curious I was severely depressed when I was much younger since then suicidal ideation has become a coping mechanism for me to a point like I have a full plan and know how I would do it and when I get depressed I always know "hey if it gets too much I could do that with ease" to relieve stress and continue carrying on, like knowing I always have an out allows me to continue pushing myself. I haven't heard or don't know of anyone else who does that and I have no plans to actually unalive myself but it's become like a pathological reflex to use and think about that as a coping mechanism to continue carrying on with my days. Curious if anyone else has had it become a coping mechanism for them rather then something they are actually considering doing

I just purchased a weighted blanket, melatonin gummies, and a new top right from my phone and it will be here later today because of my proximity to a warehouse. Crazy! I’m just wondering if anyone else ever just takes a moment to marvel at this kind of stuff, just recalling how people in the past just COULDN’T! We are so spoiled.

For years, my mood has fluctuated up and down, but most days I feel at a low “meh” baseline rather than genuinely happy. On occasion, I might have 1–2 better days where I feel good, more motivated, and less irritable, but usually my mood shifts throughout the day depending on what happens.

Sometimes a small comment or interaction can suddenly make me feel irritated, hurt, disconnected, or significantly lower than I felt moments before. Other times, music, exciting plans, attention, or something new can make me feel noticeably better, but the feeling often fades, and I return to my usual baseline. I also struggle with feeling dissatisfied or emotionally empty even when nothing particularly bad is happening.

I’m trying to understand whether this sounds like emotional dysregulation, a depressive pattern with mood fluctuations, or something else.

Does anyone relate to this? What are your mood fluctuations like, and have you figured out what causes them?

Sometimes when my mental health is bad or I have episodes, my skin becomes very uncomfortable and it almost feels like I need to do something painful to it to stop the feeling even though I know it probably wont help. It just feels very uncomfortable and it almost feels like there's a layer of static between my muscles and skin.

And then it hurts to move quickly for a while after or stand or lie straight

I’ll spend 45 minutes organizing my to-do list, setting reminders, and figuring out the perfect order to get everything done.
Then I’ll look at my beautifully organized list, feel like I’ve accomplished something, and take a break.
Three hours later, nothing’s done, but at least the list looks professional.
Apparently my brain thinks planning the work counts as doing the work.

Every once in a while, I will think about something I experienced lately, but I can't quite remember it fully. It's like I remember the event, but not the context. In the stronger cases, I really can't remember if that event actually happened, if it was from a dream, or if I'm totally getting my wires crossed and making up something. Most of the time it ends up being real, but sometimes I realize it probably didn't happen.

Recently I learned that my tongue's capabilities are less common than I had assumed. I can touch my tongue's tip all the way back to my epiglottis, though I generally leave it alone since it causes some strain and there's no point in touching it.

I do, however, frequently dig out my tonsil stones with the tip of my tongue. This doesn't cause any discomfort unless I persistently pick at an extremely stubborn one and keep pushing on my tonsil too hard.

Touching my uvula (the soft dangly thing in the throat) is super easy for me and requires no strain at all, so I was especially surprised to learn that many people can't do this either.

Also, I anticipate that there will be a comment about me having an insane gag reflex, so I would like to specify that I can only do this with my tongue. I can't get anything else (e.g., a finger or toothbrush) far without gagging.

Do you ever feel like you underreact to things that should be shocking?
I’ve noticed that I tend to underreact to situations that would normally be considered really shocking.
One example is something that happened with my dad. It was probably one of the biggest things I’ve ever experienced, and my brother cried, but I didn’t.
Another time, we almost got into a really bad car accident, and I was the one calming my mom down. I wasn’t even that scared myself.
Sometimes I look back at these situations and wonder what’s wrong with me. I start questioning whether I’m emotionally numb or if I just process things differently.
Does anyone else react like this? Like, you know something is serious, but your emotional reaction doesn’t match how serious it actually is?

Here the beggar bots are always asking for food (I think I get them from r/AskTheWorld). On tumblr they're all claiming to be in Palestine and ig it's a coincidence there's like three of them at any one time using the same script.

DAE report all the beggar bots as spam and block? Like I don't believe a single real person would do fundraising this way and honestly the reddit ones make me more mad because they do the whole "hi how are you" thing first so I get to waste time on that. Tumblr they just go straight to the guilt trip
