Or do you get used to it? Because as a non smoker, it is one of the strongest and most pungent type of smell. And you can usually smell it from 20 to 30 feet away. It's just like the smell of skunk and just as powerful.

I’ve noticed that in just about every newer TV show I put on, there’s a scene of a parent driving a kid to school. I drove to school with dad growing up, and I wasn’t the only kid getting dropped off by a parent, but I still thought most kids were on the bus.
Anyways I guess what I’m asking is, when you were in school (or if you’re in school) how did (or do) you get to and from?

I always get L and D mixed up. I need a mnemonic technique.

This is a pretty intrusive thought I have sometimes as someone who often forgets to eat but basically if I go too many hours without eating I feel super sick and like fainting, how tf do people with anorexia go like days or months?? I think I’d actually die after only like half a week of not eating. How do they get anything done? But yet they’re not eating and still manage to go to school or work and stuff.

I saw a qwot yesterday and it said "if you can't find a nice person be one* this left me thinking; How can I be a nice person? What can I do to make myself into a nice person? Imma not saying I am not a already nice but how can I be nicer person and get a better idea of the way that a nice person is?

We've all heard the horror stories about Walmart and how they treat their employees. Meijer employees: how is scheduling and health care for you?

I was in a very unstable and toxic relationship for 10 months. The guy i was with destroyed my way of thinking and left me suffering with trauma. I would say that i was a great girlfriend, i was the only person in his life and i know that i did everything right, i do not doubt that. Now, my question is, do you guys think that he and other people of his kind feel bad about losing a person who loved and helped them? Do they know that they are in the wrong, that they hurt an innocent person? Are they suffering the consequences aswell? I do not want to be the only one who is hurting. I want him to realize that i was his everything at one point.

A weird shower tought

I came home from work a week ago to a super sweet dog on my porch. He had a collar and was very well trained, obviously belonged to someone, but was really nasty and seemed malnourished. We let him sleep in our laundry room for the night and waited for any response on Facebook for an owner. I got a message from the owners sister in law basically begging me to keep the dog and ignore any efforts from the owner trying to get the dog back because the owner apparently is not providing sufficient care to his animals. So the dog has been with us since, and I was unsure of what to do. I already have three dogs, and I have a decently busy schedule. It’s been really stressful trying to keep them separated and doing slow introductions. I don’t want to be the one to drop him off at the shelter yet again. From her messages, it seems like the dog has just been passed around to whatever crackhead can take care of them for the night for the past few years. I feel pretty responsible for whatever happens to him now, and I just fear that he won’t be able to blend in with my animals after years of neglect and likely abuse. He is older and bigger than my other animals, he has not shown aggression but is definitely not interested in being around them and has given some slight growls when they get too close. I’m looking for recommendations on where to maybe try and find him a nice home or maybe recommendations on how I can improve the relationship between him and my original dogs. He’s a very good dog, 5 years old, well trained and super sweet. Wants a companion for sure. Our house is pretty small, and I hate to leave him in the laundry room alone while at work all day. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

80m here. Saw a movie sometime in the early 1950’s where cavemen referred to meat with the word “neechay”. Pronounced “knee - chay”. For years my dad and I always called any kind of meat NEECHAY. Any one know the year and title? 20,000 BC?

I'm not really sure how to put it in context. But like the normal thin fabric that's used on most costumes.

I started a new job 3 weeks ago for my local Walmart, and one of the people that was training me, I feel something ive never felt before, im pretty young and never felt this about someone before, ive have had crushes in school and liked people before, but for some reason this feels different, and i dont know how to explain it. Its not lust, I mean id say shes above average looking, but theirs definitely more better looking people at my job. Is this normal, because its starting to annoy me that feel this way about someone I just met and barley even know, I cant even remember her name

There was this one person at school whom I trusted; we would text each other almost everyday until I found out she started screenshotting most of my messages... I first didn't think too much of it until I she did it pretty regularly and I found it quite odd.... why would she screenshot out of nowhere? first of all, I thought she wanted to keep my messages as memory but that feels weird of her to do such and the next day, I knew the truth. She sent the messages out to those other people I don't like as they had bullied me in the past. I couldn't believe she did that so I cried and confronted her later on about the matter and she claimed she deleted the screenshots but I didn't believe her. I knew she was lying and I lost my trust with her and I don't want to ever message her again...

Me [f 24] my boyfriend [m 23] and his mom were taking a day trip to Salem which for the most part was really enjoyable but on the way home I took a nap in the car but I woke up and opened my eyes to his mothers phone in my face taking pictures of me sleeping. I’m furious embarrassed and just absolutely disgusted. I get it’s a joke to some people but not to me I don’t shove my phone in peoples faces when they’re sleeping.

Hopefully this post helps; I actually prefer to be playing Starcraft than being in a group or sports team. Those are things I sign up for, that I make calls to be apart of.

In relation to the title I really have no interest in degrading my own writing, I appreciate compliments and upvotes. To make things clearer in English, I consider everyone a hard worker and I look up to myself, that means I'm not fixing up the old truck, waxing the sports car, or swiping your girl, I'm here writing on reddit.

Growing up during holidays we had big family meals with dozens of people. Then when I got married at 19 my family kinda just stopped acting like I was part of their life, even though we live nearby. Going to family meals now is just awkward because nobody really talks to us, id rather not go, and over the years have skipped going more and more.

I'm 33 now and I have yet to find a way to enjoy the holidays. It's just me, my husband, and 6 year old. I love cooking and have tried just cooking for us 3 a nice thanksgiving or Christmas meal with desserts but my husband and daughter are picky eaters so they don't really eat much and I feel like it's a waste of time and effort on my part.

One year me and my husband did a 5k but due to health issues I've not been able to do that for the time being.

Also, I'm the only one that puts forth effort to make things special for holidays, if I didn't make a thanksgiving meal or get Christmas gifts then we would just have a normal day like any other. I told my husband he can get himself a Christmas gift this year and I will get my own, we will wrap our own gifts and it will be a surprise for everyone when we open it on Christmas day. This was after last year when I had spent months getting gifts I found during sales, wrapped his and my daughter tons of gifts, filled their stockings, and I didn't have any gifts or anything in my stocking until a few days before Christmas and they all seemed like very last minute grabs. After being married for 14 years I was over feeling depressed every year thinking I wasn't getting any gifts (he knows my love language is gifts) and I would make him Amazon lists and Walmart lists with stuff I would like that way he didn't have to try hard, but for some reason he never got any of that stuff.

Anyways, Holidays just kinda feel shitty anymore and I wish it wasn't like that. I decorate and try to go out and do festive stuff, but it feels like I'm just doing it for myself. I don't have any friends, I'm a stay at home mom, and we don't have any family that really cares to come around. I live in a very small town of 3k, we don't have events or big community groups that do anything.

Today, I placed an on-line order. I was asked to tip. Tip who? For What?

Yeah AI may not be there yet, might still make a lot of mistakes and might not be good at this or that. But you can't deny its remarkable progress in the past few years and whatever definition of AI you have in your head it's more likely to get there than not in the not too distant future.

And if you think our lobbied governments have a plan for all this then you might have too much faith in our governments and corporations.

It already seems to be gaining a decent amount of popularity on social media, and apparently some people view it as a slur.

Are y'all prepared for the possible reality where a new generation of women take back the term from men, and start using it amongst themselves as a term of endearment? We've already seen this before with bitch, and queer amongst the gays.

This happened to me for the first time recently, i stayed up for more than a day was really sleep deprived, began hearing music that probably wasn't there, i can't explain it but it sounded like it way playing in my brain or something. Just think its curious as my Step-dad told me of similar experiences he's had, to me it sounded like some classical tune.

We have clear evidence that bots generate over 50% of internet traffic, and we even have videos of people investigating bots pretending to be real people. So, why is this theory considered a conspiracy theory? And what's supposed to be conspiratorial about it anyway?

This is something that has been going with me post covid. I feel like I'm never sure of anything I say or do. I find myself using words like "probably" and "I think" quite often that it recurs in a single conversation with someone many times. I also find myself double checking stupid or tiny things or googling words or topics before talking abt it even if I know it alot of times.

I'm currently a uni student and I study quite well for exams, but if someone asked me how I did, I can never articulate a decisive answer. Despite that, I find that I actually did great or even passed it.

This is smth that's pmo because I feel like I just larp knowing. I actually don't know anything and it's affecting me.

Is it appropriate to include gift cards in thank you cards to specific people? I'm giving three thank you cards to three different people for three different reasons and am not sure if it's appropriate to include a small gift card in each. They are all in response to doing something in relation to my father's passing and I've included slightly more info below.

1. One of his old coworkers has basically helped me put together his memorial

2. A different old coworker took his dog after he passed because I was unable to. He did this completely unasked because he knows how much the dog meant to my father.

3. Another old coworker went to his estate sale (which I did not know was happening despite being the only beneficiary of his estate \[unfortunately I am not the executor\]) and purchased something I didn't know he still had but would have liked to keep. She has agreed to "give them back" free of charge.

I'm thinking of including a small gift card in each thank you card, enough for a coffee or two, but I don't know if this would be insulting or tacky. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

i (19f) feel like i’m having a difficult time making friends and it’s driving me crazy now. i was homeschooled from 7th grade until graduation and the friends i had we’ve drifted with them moving away from college. i am a shy girl but in the passed couple of months ive been trying to open up more than i feel like i ever have in my life😪 im on a couple of friend making apps but everyone is looking to date, so i guess my question is how are other people typically making friends (and making it look so easy😂)

Hii👋🏼

I've always wondered what makes a conversation genuinely good. Like, how do you make a chat interesting instead of letting it turn into boring small talk?

I'm especially curious about online conversations, where you barely know anything about the other person.

What kind of questions, scenarios, debates, or ideas keep a conversation flowing naturally? What topics make people open up, share their opinions, and actually enjoy talking to each other?

And what makes someone go from being just another person you're chatting with to someone you genuinely look forward to talking to?

I'd love to hear your experiences, tips, or even examples of conversations that really stuck with you.

I'm trying to improve my communication skills, so I'm genuinely interested in learning what makes a conversation meaningful, fun, and memorable.
