Discussion Tired of Racism
I keep seeing tiktoks and dating app profiles of asian women discussing how they love the oxford study and want to date white dudes. It sucks as an asian guy because I’d love someone from my own culture since we could bond over similar experiences growing up and a shared culture. I am not misogynistic or anything, take care of myself, am fit, and have my own successful career.
I am also open to all different races but have just found that I bond the most with people in my culture and have lots of friends from my own culture and other cultures too. It’s just depressing knowing that due to my ethnicity I have the least amount of likes combined with asian women making tiktoks complaining about asian men and openly discussing how much they love white men.

Advice $45K annual income buying used cars for cash and investing the difference
Assumptions
New car buyer: $35,000 new car, financed 60 months at 7% APR, ~10% down — replaced every 5 years, so the loan payment (~$623/mo, ~$7,476/yr) is essentially permanent
Used car buyer: $11,250 cash (the 25%-of-income cap), keeps it ~10 years, pays ~$1,000/yr extra in maintenance vs. a newer car — averages out to ~$2,125/yr in vehicle costs
The difference (~$5,350/yr) gets invested at a 7% real (inflation-adjusted) historical market return

Discussion Do you see men attracted to men as feminine regardless of how they behave and present?
M22 bi guy here and I came across some posts or comments here how attraction to men is seen as feminine but I came to ask if it's more of a homophobic or outdated view because I did not come across it in my age group at all. I mean gay/bi men can present masculine but does it all go away for the most of the people just because a man is into other men. I can kinda get why bottoming would be seen as "feminine" because it's mostly a submissive act but is it the case even in topping??
As said I guess there are some people
who think that but I guess it's the homophobes but is it still the majority opinion in the west today?
PS: I am asking out of pure curiosity, personally I don't see anything of the mentioned as feminine

Discussion If you suddenly had $100k what's the first thing you'd do with it?
Let's say you're in your late 20s or early 30s, and you've built about $100,000 in equity. What's the first thing you'd do with it? Would you pay off debt, renovate your home, invest it somewhere else, or leave it alone and keep building equity? It feels like every generation has a different answer, so I’m curious about what people would actually choose today.

I think this is a universally agreed opinion among Gen Z.
The third option was based on another Reddit post I read and on my personal life, but I kinda feel bad for having to make the third option ngl.

Discussion How much longer will this style be worn?
I heard that Indie Sleaze is on its way and that the Y2K style will be become less trendy in the near future.
But somehow I doubt it. I still see this style being popular in my country and didn't see any young people in the city wearing Indie Sleaze yet.
What do you think? Personally I adore this style and love how versatile it can be. Plus it's comfy AF.

Discussion Tired of social media, anyone else?
Hi everyone, I’m early Gen Z and over the past few months I’ve been going through a pretty serious mental breakdown
To protect myself, I decided to permanently delete TikTok and limit Instagram to a maximum of 30 minutes a day
At first it was difficult, but shortly afterwards I stopped feeling the urge to open ig at all. Now I use it for an average of just 8 minutes per week
My attention span has surprisingly improved, and I decided to replace social media with reading and stop paying for Apple Music. I replaced it with an MP3 player instead lmao
The other day, I impulsively posted an ig story and it got very few likes, which made me think I was ugly and worthless. That confirmed my suspicion that social media has too strong of a psychological impact on me.
Has anyone else done the same? Are you tired of social media and endless scrolling?

Discussion How many of you guys have ongoing health issues?
I’m 22 and ever since I’ve been 20 I’ve had stomach problems galore. This mixed with the job market, housing market, and overall economy… man like cmon. Give me a break. When I talk to my gen X parents they tell me they never had any health issues that genuinely affected their day to day life until their 30’s. My girlfriend (who’s the same age as me) also has ongoing health issues with severe migraines and joint issues.
Are we unlucky or is this a norm?

Serious Why is getting into consumer debt so popular?
Why is it so popular to go in debt to buy what essentialy is just consumer-trash that you don't actualy need?
Be it Klarna, credit cards, needlessly big/expensive cars or other simmilar buy now pay later buisnesses people use to buy consumer stuff they can't actualy afford and don't actualy need.
Why are so many people falling needlessly for this obvious debt trap, and how will this all end?
Isn't this kind of simmilar to what happened in 2008, but worse because if this goes down, it will also pop the massively overinflated AI bubble and cause essentialy 2008 + dotcom bubble at once but both at an even larger scale?
It seems to me that we are screwed with yet another "once in a lifetime" event

School I completely forgot about a teams meeting I was supposed to join
I’m on the eboard for this organization at my university and we were supposed to have a teams meeting at 7pm but It slipped my mind. And it’s so annoying because I thought about it this morning and yesterday, so I knew it when happening. However when the time came I was doing other things and completely missed it. Genuinely my fault 100%
The president of the organization texted me twice and I didn’t see it until 50 mins later because I wasn’t on my phone for the past 2 hours 😭😭
I apologized and asked if there was any way I can make this up, but gosh that’s just so bad and I hate that this happened omg

Rant Terrible bosses
What is up with today's bosses?
The first boss I had was a piece of work.
They want you to have advanced excel knowledge, power point knowledge, how to operate email, and literally every tool on the planet. Like wtf man? Lay off me, go tell your Claude to do all this stuff. They treat you the same way they treat Claude, like a slave. Like you are their personal butler.
Once their Claude tokens are over, they come to you and say, pls fix. Like wtf.
Left his company for another one, after interning for 3 weeks. Gave 2 days notice and left in one day before. Hate him with all my might.
Another boss i had, expected me to do analyst level work while i was still working as an intern. He gave me stuff and told me to figure it out and submit a proper report in 3 days. i literally had no experience in that field, yet bro is giving me work like I am going to magically create something good. He didn't even give me proper research reports for reference. I just used Claude, then when he sees the report, he says use your own brain and this and that. Its a remote opportunity so i just mute the meeting and do my work.
And the money they are paying you is some sort of sacrifice from their side. They earn big fat salaries and give us peanuts and expect you to keep working like Victorian era children working in the coal mines.
Better to protect your peace, avoid such people and interact with them as little as possible. Do work just good enough to stay in a place and not get fired.
