A few days ago I debated a medical doctor on what sounds like a dry topic: math, reality, and how we know things. But it turned out to be surprisingly dramatic, because the real issue wasn’t math at all. It was about the story we use to make sense of the world. Humans are narrative creatures. We don’t just collect facts, we arrange them into stories that explain why anything matters. If you remove the story, the facts float around like puzzle pieces without the picture on the box. In this debate, two stories collided. The doctor’s side was simple: the universe behaves in regular ways, math tracks those regularities, and our brains evolved to notice them because it helps us survive. ...

Lately I’ve been struggling with the back and forth of wanting to end my relationship. I want to preface this by saying that he really is a good man, and I think it’s more of just a misalignment. I was feeling very unheard and so I sat down with him at a restaurant and asked him some questions about where he saw himself, what he wanted in life, and laying down some basic things I’d need to feel safe. This is really where I noticed the disconnect. I’ll preface by saying my parents are a bit older and this has affected the way I approach relationships, which is very different from how relationships happen nowadays. I am kinda lax but am very clear about what I want and believe make...

I felt a lot of anger toward a guy I work with, the one with glasses. It was the weekend, the boss had already given us time off, and even so he found work not just for himself, but for me too. The weekend is the only time and place where I actually like working, my second job, and even then I had to endure everything without music. I was furious, on the edge of losing control. I’m sad to admit it, but I even thought about pushing the ladder with him on it or hitting him in the head with a hammer every time he spoke. I know that’s wrong, but those thoughts crossed my mind. I don’t like him, especially because he forces a kind of friendliness that makes me uncomfortable. I’ve worked...

I guess it’s kind of obvious to ask… who else is tired of this? A few days ago I was thinking about some of the people I’ve met online over the years, especially the ones I actually connected with. I remember spending hours talking, texting, sharing ideas. I don’t connect with people very often, and honestly, it’s usually easier for me to do that online. The thing is… at some point I stopped talking to them. Why? Because without really meaning to, I’d start opening up; talking about personal stuff, my feelings, my fears, all of that....afterward I’d feel terrible about it. I remember apologizing a lot, and I remember them telling me it was fine, reassuring me that it wasn’...

**NOTE:** I want to acknowledge that I know therapy is the most obvious answer here! But I am deeply in debt and cannot currently afford that option, so any real tips or opinions to help me work on this part of myself, and be honest with my friend, would be greatly appreciated. My friend and I have known each other for a few years now and have established a close, meaningful bond. She is a very special person-naturally funny, animated, kind, feisty, confident, but also quite anxious and vulnerable. I would describe her as loved by most everyone she meets, as she is warm and good to all. When we are together, our humour aligns so well and it feels wonderful and easy. I love her very dearly. ...

China’s property story is not “coming back soon.” It is still grinding through a slow reset, and the newest data point matters because it is not a rumor, it is official pricing pressure showing up again. If you invest anywhere in Asia, or if your real estate thesis relies on China demand, this is a signal to tighten your underwriting, not your optimism. **The fresh data that matters** Here is what the latest December 2025 housing data is telling the market. China new home pricing: * New home prices fell 0.4% month on month in December 2025 * New home prices fell 2.7% year on year, the steepest annual decline in five months * Only 6 of 70 cities saw price increases, 58 saw decline...

We started texting in late 2023, but since we were long-distance and wanted to take things slow, we didn’t meet until August 2024. Things were amazing at first. We used to text and call a lot, especially him. He was super consistent, and we were connected on Snapchat and Instagram too. After we met, things got more serious. We started liking each other a lot. After meeting for the first time, we met frequently almost every month even though we were long-distance. But for the last six months, we haven’t met, and I kept insisting that we make plans. He had recently gotten a contract job with lower pay. However, he didn’t mind spending money on food, shopping, or other things. I also of...

I'm not doing well. I haven't posted in here in awhile because I was just trying to get through these months since I lost my dad in March and mom in April of 2025. I need to talk to someone so I'm just going to vent here if you don't mind. Losing my dad was bad. When he died at home I was devastated. I cried so much I popped a blood vessel in my eye. I held him and just sobbed like a baby. My poor mom who also had cancer tried her hardest to console me. They were divorced but I know she still loved my dad. They were very close. 36 days later my mom passed away in the same room in a hospice bed in our den. My daughter and I laid with her and watched her take h...

I always loved comic books growing up. Colorful, fantastic beings that would jump right off their letterbox pages with wacky sound effects. Cape **** was king in my house, the guys who could crawl on walls and godlike beings flying through the sky. I could not get enough of it. As I got older, of course the nerdy side of me became subdued and I stopped soying out every time I saw a Spider-Man action figure. Honestly between the mountain of movies and "Tripple AAA" games I was getting a little sick of superheroes. I've actually been phasing out certain titles from my monthly pull list and moving on to horror comics or manga. But I digress. Recently I had the opportunity to...

**Heyo everyone!** Wait, it’s been 2 months already?! As always, let’s kick things off with a little video: https://reddit.com/link/1qh8wm5/video/jzc6fsmx1ceg1/player **So what’s changed this time?** Well… uhm, everything! **Migration** So first off, we’ve managed to migrate about 80–90% of all the Unity version’s code to Godot! Godot was entirely new to me, so it took quite a bit of getting used to. My goal is to have everything migrated within the next two weeks! **Design** As you might have noticed, the game is slowly starting to actually look like a game! Almost everything has gotten a new look. Do keep in mind that everything will probably still change in the ...

I’ve received an offer from St Andrews (ABB) and I think I’ll be receiving an offer from imperial. If I do get both offers, I’m not sure which to go to. I’ll list the pros and cons of both. St Andrews pros: smaller/less urban, cost of living, 5 year masters (slower transition so I’ll probs struggle less), free badminton courts I think (if u buy the yearly membership). Cons: “worse education”, worse graduate prospects (according to salary 15 months after graduation), isolated in a way, my parents haven’t heard of it (big factor cos my parents r paying for uni). ...

Some more “deep cuts” here. I wish I kept them in their CD cases. I’m fairly certain they are all gone now and I just have the booklets. I’m thinking I likely listened to these a lot more than the ones I posted yesterday since they were in a binder for my car. Also, somewhere else I have a lot more of the “mainstream” cds (every Bosstones album imaginable, LTJ, RBF, Mustard Plug. Rancid, etc) Couple of cool things I noticed: \- Big D Good Luck on Fork In Hand, not Asian Man \- Bruce Lee Band on Dill \- Skolars (before they were Telegraph)

Been looking at this sub for a little bit and thought I would share an experience of mine. Sorry if formatting is bad, I’m writing and posting on mobile. I met a dude in college around my Senior year in 2022 in our schools TTRPG club. He was cool and nice so we became quick friends. Our school had a DnD campaign going on so we joined and we got pretty close after playing together. Soon, he invited me to play in his online campaign. I said sure. He had his own Homebrew setting and right from the get go I was so out of the loop. It seemed like there was pervious campaigns in the setting and all of the other players had played in those. This isn’t really a problem, just more context. I w...

A decade ago I grew up on using the original Deathadder for years. I have big hands and preferred the simplistic ergo mouse design. I'm on my second Aerox 5 and the wired connection is failing again as the port loosens. I can get the V3 for just under $40 but I see that the V4 came out half a year ago but doesn't offer a wired option which I prefer as a lifetime wired mouse user. I was wondering if I would be missing out on a lot of improvements by going with the V3.

My wife and I currently live in Pittsburgh (in the suburbs/ exurbs). We like a lot of the things about here but the grey, cold, rainy, and snowy weather that dominates the area kills us. We want to live a more outdoor-friendly lifestyle. Hoping this community can help us understand what it's like living in the following areas (similarly in suburbs/ exurbs). * Charlotte, NC * Raleigh-Durham, NC * Asheville, NC * Tampa Bay area, FL * Sarasota, FL * Lakeland, FL * Las Vegas, NV We are health conscious people that like to be active outdoors (biking, running, hiking, walking our dogs, lifting/ yoga in the backyard), eat/ drink healthy (we don't drink alcohol), and live as stress-free ...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for honest outside perspectives because I’m trying to understand both his behavior and my own. I was talking to this guy for a while. We weren’t official, and we didn’t talk constantly, but we did talk every day. He works and goes to school, so I understood that he couldn’t reply all the time. The issue was that sometimes he would leave me on delivered for long periods while still being active on social media, which triggered a lot of overthinking for me. I’ve been cheated on in the past, so inconsistent communication is a big trigger. Because of that, I found myself asking him for reassurance often and sometimes accusing him of things without proof, wh...
