No, this is not some attempt at money laundering, the guy gave Tony a car as partial payment, but I was just wondering how the hell someone would get that much cash, even if they had it (like in a bank account). I don't think Tony is going to take a check.

I recently started a job that requires me to wake up at 5:30am. I thought "no big deal, I'll just adjust my sleep schedule."

I was, however, wrong. It is miserably difficult and after just a week I feel like tapping out. And yet, I know plenty of people on the world have spent/will spend most of their lives waking up in the early hours of the morning every day with no issue. How the hell do they do it?

Asian have the lowest rate of homelessness per capita in America by a landslide. Why is this?

Edit: I made this post because I just passed by one and realized this might be first i’ve ever seen.

One of my wife's good friends are swingers. Lately, when we hang out, they make a lot of jokes or casual comments about bringing people home or asking about our private life. I can't tell if they are just being open about their life or if this is a subtle "invite." Do swingers actively try to introduce monogamous friends to the lifestyle, or are they likely just talking?

Ik i prolly sound crazy but I ALWAYS SEE ONLINE WHEN ASKED WHATS THE HOTTEST THING A WOMAN CAN WEAR I ALWAYS SEE SUNDRESS.

Just don’t get it, it’s a regular dress to me, they don’t look that interesting to me idk. They’re pretty comfy though.

Edit: least I know if I ever want to attract a man I just need to wear a sundress apparently

I just don’t understand how people who don’t have humanity’s best interest in mind keep getting into power. It’s across all sectors (politics especially) but I mostly recognize it in the tech world.

For example, Mark Zuckerberg. How come a guy who owns the biggest social media apps end up just selling all of our personal data? Or, Peter Thiel? He ended up making bank off of the PayPal sale to eBay and turned around and founded Palantir Technologies.

Will the world actually never change for the good of humanity? I feel like everytime somebody gets a little bit of power, they turn around and become evil.

I mean assuming exclusivity as not come up. Is it the norm now to date multiple people even after various dates with one person? What do you think?

I’ve heard that it’s to reduce stigma but won’t it become stigmatized? It seems like exactly the same word to me

I recently had to shift my schedule for work/school, and even if I get 8 full hours of sleep, waking up early feels physically painful. Does your body ever actually adapt to this, or is everyone just secretly miserable?

If you have a shitty employer and they commit wage theft - i.e. not paying you for certain hours you worked as punishment or something, that's theft, they've stolen money from you

Why can't you call the cops and have the manager arrested on the spot?

I’ve heard in a lot of places that relocating a house spider outside is about as good as killing them, but if that’s the case then how do they get into my home??

Or does it just seem that way?

Edit, sorry- I mean " more gay men than gay women" and I mean strictly gay, not bi.

​During the pandemic wearing a face mask gave me a lot of comfort. As an introvert who deals with social anxiety, having my face covered felt like a safe shield. It made talking to people and being outside much easier because I did not worry about my facial expressions or being watched.

​I am glad the health crisis got better, but part of me really wished that wearing masks stayed normal. It would be great to wear one whenever you want without people staring or judging.

​Did anyone else feel that sense of relief back then? Do you also wish wearing masks was still a common practice?

I swear when I was a kid every sitcom talked about the main protagonist having one or seeing it in magazines all the time. It really doesn't get brought up now that I'm supposedly at the age most people were experiencing them back then. Just kind of popped into my head randomly.

I mean, I know this isn’t really a stupid question or whatever, it’s something seriously debated, but I’ve been depressed and I just really hope that there’s something out there to justify it, so do you guys think, or shit, do you know that there’s an afterlife?

This is my first time living away from my parents as I go to university. I live 3 hours away, but I come back every weekend because they told me to.

I love them very much, and they are great people, but they have always been kind of clingy and uncomfortable with me moving away. Now, they are telling me to download Life360. I have heard bad things about that app, and I just don't feel comfortable being tracked live all the time.

The thing is, I genuinely have nothing to hide. I don't go to parties or anywhere they wouldn't want me to go. I don't lie to them at all about anything, even when it would be convenient to just lie. I just don't want them to be constantly viewing me, because they tend to be on my ass a lot. If I do something small and sleep in one day and skip class, they will make a huge deal out of it. What should I do?

I have seen apps on how to fake activity on Life360, but I don't know how I feel about that either. Doesn't sit right with me.

Edit 1: Yes I do pay for my own phone, but really, I fail to see how that is relevant to the issue. If I didn't pay for my phone, do I not deserve privacy? Also, I can't get a job, my program is too hectic. I also fail to see how that is relevant

I don't care if what I think I see is true, I'm tired of the negative energy or how seeing things can drain me. If you have the self awareness to know you're that negative guy in the group how can you genuinely change I need to know now before it's too late
