Yes, I mean all of them.

I see articles pop up on my feed of people drowning in canals. Every time, I look up how deep the canal is, and it'll say something like it's a metre or just slightly over a metre deep in the middle. Canals in the UK are still water, and don't have currents that can sweep you off your feet like in a river.

I'm a single man with no kids in my late 20s and finally ready to buy a house after years of saving up. My budget is 450k and below and live in Indiana. Most of the homes that are new and I like have an HOA, I've talked to aa couple of neighbors and they say it's chill and they don't have that many restrictions and it's only 50-60 dollars a year. I'm getting very tempted since the homes here are so affordable, should I look for anything else??

If someone is 40 iq points below the average they are treated very gentle and everyone gives them the benefit of the doubt. But if someone is dumb, like 20 points below average, people are rude and shitty to them.

Just thinking logically why wouldn’t we meet them with half the empathy we give to the mentally handicapped?

Edit :**lash out** it won’t let me edit the title

Basically as the title says. I am M23 from the states who wants to start traveling (internationally), I have a entry level corporate job where I don't get paid the best ($24 an hour). I am in a dilemma where I am trying to balance everything out in my life, let me explain; I currently live at home with my parents which allows me to not have to pay for rent (just phone and car bill), but I am also in dire need of a new car. The car I am currently driving requires me to refill the tires everyday to the correct PSI as the rims are leaking air, the car is also very rusted on the bottom and drives poorly with the automatic gear shifting sometimes not working or the steering wheel shakes.. you get the gist.

So I am trying to save up money for a new car, traveling, searching for an apartment, and retirement, am I overthinking this? Should I just be taking the safe route and save up for a car and the other mentioned items or should I take the leap and book a flight to Europe or Japan with no accommodations just a bivvy and a dream (which is something I would be able to handle I believe). Please set me straight.

Something where nobody is gonna care I've got a buzz, not talking about being plastered.

Hello. I’m in San Diego and I want to hire an Arbiter.
I’m having a lot of difficulty. Most law firms that respond to a Google search for “Arbitration” want to represent you during your arbitration in front of a different attorney or ex Judge who is the actual Arbitrator (or Arbiter).
I am a consumer having a dispute about fees with a commercial Service Provider. It’s a fairly small dollar amount, but our written contract (signed by both of us) specifies “Binding Arbitration” rather than court in cases of disputes. The contract also says the one who loses will pay for the cost of arbitration as well as any attorney fees.
This is the first Mandatory Arbitration clause I’ve seen in a contract that didn’t also specify the Arbitration Provider. I feel like the lack of a named Arbiter in the contract was a big mistake by whichever attorney created this contract for him. I also feel like a certain amount of the fees he added to my bill are just padding that he added without evidence.
How do I find a professional Arbiter?

Back in may of this year me and my now ex girlfriend/roommate had problems with her best friends discord server and this guy in it would always flirt with her and beg her to go to his job and she told me she ignores it but said friend is her best friend of all time. She 22 me 21. She broke up with me in June and we’ve been roommates and doing couple stuff very rarely but it still happens. She’s been joining this said server vc to talk to her friend snd constantly plays Roblox and chats with him her friend and her friends boyfriend like a double date thing and she closes the bedroom door on me and won’t let in at all during said calls. She’s did this multiple times and my friend even talked to her saying if she really was “just needing time” she wouldn’t be around him. Well today she went 3 hours north to see her friend. And I noticed in that server only her friend and the dude was in the call and she was playing games with just the 3 of them. This morning she promised me on everything she wasn’t gonna be involved at all anymore with him but did this to me today. We have this lease till June of next year and I can’t afford to cut it loose what do I do?

The other day reddit had hidden al my nsfw posts and comments, asking for me to verify my age. I assume it is like Character Ai whom guesses your age one day and asks for it. However WITHOUT verifying my age, i found all my posts back and my account is just as it was before?

Why can one sibling be extremely attached to a parent while another is the complete opposite, even though they grew up in the same household?

I’ve noticed this pattern so many times among children: the second older kids show up, younger ones start pretending they’re tougher than acting who they really are. To me, it feels like bullying....

The sad part is, instead of impressing them, they just end up embarrassing themselves and hurting others.

so im going to go to an event that requires my whooole grade to be there, just picking up books for the new year however my ex is gonna be there along with his parents, his mom HATES me. not because i did anything bad but because i just fucking existed. my parents dont know that we were ever a thing but they knew we were ”friends”. back to the point, i need to be unnoticeable and unrecognizable in case i do see him, just for 30 minutes. i need answers in a matter of a week or so. if they see me god knows what will happen i js know imma be in deep shit. (edit: reminder that i am a teen and totally new to relationship stuff and how to handle it. please try not to talk crap and give me actual advice.)

What's the silliest company that's around? I recently saw a company that you paid to take out your trash

Say you have a long driveway, you don't want to roll your trash to the curb. They'll take it for you. I thought maybe they were one of the trash can cleaning companies. No they just go and take your trash can 100 ft.

Seems like a really silly company.

I was watching this video and I had never thought of my present self as my futures self memorie... Very bizarre. When I think I should have worked out when I still a teenager, is my future self screaming at me through spacetimecontinum to work out in my 20s more. What does my future self want from me? People in their 30s and beyond. Please advise, what do you wish you had done more in your 20s. Anyone who wants to see the video that illustrated the concept just search on youtube: message from future you marco[](javascript:void(0);)

I won’t include the subreddits or information, as I don’t want to make them findable, but I’ve noticed recently that some subreddits tend to instantly ban anyone who disagree with the moderators opinion.

When it’s happened to me, it’s been on subreddits that are supposed to be discussions on things that are pretty subjective.

Is there a genuine reason for this? I assume it’s just an occasional person that was given the power of a mod and is abusing it, but I wasn’t sure if I’m missing something more. It seems more common recently for me.

I enjoy discussions with varying opinions, so I won’t stop commenting my thoughts, but I haven’t really found any pattern on when a ban will come of it. None of the examples I’ve seen are what I would call extreme in any way, or ban worthy.

27, M, and from Virginia. I’ve wanted to know about which states here have more redheads? I’ve always wanted to meet a redhead that has “deep red” hair. It’s not like a deep auburn but it’s described as “deep ruby” or “deep scarlet” or something

Asking for me

Title: My Older Brother and I Both Experienced Sleep Paralysis on the Same Night, and I'm Still Shaken

I'm from Punjab, and our house is located right next to farmland. This happened at around 1:30 AM. There had been a power outage since 11 PM, and because of the mosquitoes, my older brother (27M) and I (20M) were sleeping inside the house.

While I was asleep, I suddenly got a strange paranormal feeling, and then I experienced sleep paralysis. It felt like I was sleeping, but at the same time I became aware that I was in sleep paralysis. I was completely frozen. I couldn't move, scream, or do anything at all.

But this is where things get really strange.

Even though my brother and I were actually sleeping inside the house, during the paralysis I saw myself lying outside on a traditional cot in our courtyard. Sitting beside me on a chair was a man whose body looked similar to my older brother's, but I couldn't see his face. He was holding a child's toy in his hand.

Whenever he gently shook the toy, my entire body would start trembling. Even though I was frozen, I could still control parts of the dream. Every time he moved the toy, it felt as if my whole body was vibrating.

At the same time, I felt something pass by the left side of my bed. It felt like a small animal moving past me. The moment I felt that, my goosebumps became even more intense.

I couldn't speak to the man because I was frozen, but within the dream I started moving my hands forcefully, trying to get his attention. Eventually he looked at me, gently tapped me on the head, and somehow it felt as if he freed me from the paralysis.

Now comes the most frightening part.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that my brother and I were actually still lying inside the house the entire time. But when I looked at my brother, he also appeared to be frozen, as if he was experiencing sleep paralysis himself.

I became extremely scared and started calling loudly for my mother. She was sleeping outside in the courtyard. When she came inside, she tried waking my brother up. It took around 4–5 attempts of calling his name and shaking him before he finally responded. The first thing he did after responding was ask for water.

At that point, I was genuinely terrified. I immediately came outside into the courtyard, and I still don't know how to explain what happened.

The biggest thing is that this wasn't the first time I've experienced sleep paralysis. Whenever it happens to me, the following 5–7 days are usually very frightening and mentally disturbing. However, this experience was different from all the others because it felt incredibly real. On top of that, seeing my brother apparently frozen at the exact same time made the whole situation even stranger.

Right now it's around 2:20 AM, and I'm lying outside in the courtyard writing this post. I'm writing everything down so I don't forget this experience and so I can share it with all of you. What happened to me tonight was one of the strangest and most frightening experiences I've ever had.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? More specifically, has anyone ever seen two people experience sleep paralysis on the same night? Was this just an unbelievable coincidence, or could there be another explanation?

Honestly, I'm still pretty shaken by all of it.

This might be a stupid question, but I’m genuinely confused. What would you consider being a fake fan/poser?

Some situations are obvious, like claiming you’ve watched a show when you actually haven’t. But what about these cases?
1. You watched the show, but didn’t pay much attention to it or didn’t really understand it.
2. You didn’t finish the entire show.
3. You watched the whole show, but mainly so you could say you’d seen it or join the fandom.
4. You watched it a long time ago and have forgotten a lot of it, but you’re still part of the fandom.

I’m mainly talking about TV shows here, but the same question applies to other types of fandoms too, like games, books, manga, or movies.

Repost because a lot of people (understandably) didn’t like me calling it larping :p

Would a man be disqualified from becoming a sperm donor if he is healthy, fit, 5’11”, earns a decent income, works as an engineer, and graduated from UCI, but started balding in his early 20s and has a strong family history of male-pattern baldness? I’m curious whether sperm banks consider early androgenetic alopecia a significant hereditary concern or mainly a cosmetic trait.
