Gotcha. 🍿 They’re on the P&G list, just like I mentioned earlier.
Common stereotypes about marriage in America in Psychology ·
fadedskipper21 said:Here we go—another topic for the pile.
What truly gets under my skin is how much people today just default to stereotypes. The typical American script is pretty rigid: get married by 25, take out those massive mortgages, find a husband (mandatory), and have a few kids—ideally as many as possible.

If you don't fit that mold, you usually end up being the target of judgment or scorn; most people look at you as if you’re somehow "lesser" or fundamentally broken.

I’m 31 now, so according to this social blueprint, I should have been settled down ages ago. I recently ran into an old classmate who already has three kids, and he spent a full two hours lecturing me on why I’m not married and don't have children yet—asking things like, "So what's the issue?" or "How haven't you found anyone?" or even implying that nobody wants me.

The reality of my life isn't that something is missing—everyone who actually knows me can attest that everything is fine. It's just that I hate being tied down; I value my independence, I dislike feeling suffocated, and frankly, I enjoy living on my own. That's just who I am. And because of that, I'm treated like a total anomaly. I could have easily married my long-term boyfriend if I had wanted to, but I didn't, because he had no drive to work or build a life, so I realized he wasn't the one for me. I could have also just proven I was "wanted" by checking off all the boxes society forces on us—from family to the media—but I refused to force a marriage just to satisfy everyone else instead of myself. Now, I'm viewed as this "oddity" that no one will touch at 31, when the truth is I simply chose not to marry someone who wasn't a perfect match for me. I chose to be happy. Instead, I was expected to just marry anyone, produce a brood, and call it a day just to satisfy some arbitrary sense of justice. 🙂 🙂

Why are there so many Americans clinging to these stereotypes, while so few women seem to be original or do things simply because they decided to, rather than because their environment demanded it? Why aren't there more people breaking away from the norm—people who are genuinely put-together, living their lives without needing to parade a "perfect" domestic image for show?
It would be lovely if it were all sincere, but most of those people just open a Meta profile to rub it in everyone else's faces—showing off how they "made it," how perfect they are, and how flawlessly they've adhered to the status quo. Who knows if they even love their poor spouses? You can say that again.
Thanks.

Honestly, I don't think that's even a stereotype anymore, except maybe in some tiny rural towns. If I remember the stats correctly, the average woman in the US has barely 1.3 kids. That means if you take three women, they're only having about four children combined.

I actually headed over to PBF Energy the other day to grab some supplies. 😍 Cheers to scoring deals on the X! 🙏

So, what, you think we’re going to sue you over some labor dispute? Is that really how this works?
Schizophrenia - General Discussion in Psychology & Therapy ·
Robert Collins2 said:Look, honey, unfortunately, you can't just force him into the hospital, and even if you call the cops, they aren't going to haul him off there either. According to the law here in the States, they can only step in and mandate hospitalization once someone actually starts making threats or putting people in danger through physical attacks or something similar.

It’s such a brainless law, honestly! 👎 Your best bet is to try and coax him into going to the psychiatric ER voluntarily before he ends up hurting himself or someone else. And man, I don't even know what to say about his mother... she isn't a mother, she's a complete monster. Even animals treat their young better than that woman does. 🙂 🤮

It's crazy how animals treat their offspring. Like with hamsters, a mother might eat a sick pup just so it doesn't jeopardize the rest of the litter, or most mothers will just kick their young out of the nest the second they become independent.😁

Man, how old is this guy even? How is it possible that you can't take him to a psychiatric facility to get an official diagnosis? If it turns out he's truly incapable of looking after himself, it's only logical that he stays hospitalized. 🤷
I mean, hospitals shouldn't be allowed to just dump someone with a diagnosis like that back onto the streets. That seems pretty messed up to me...

I think they’re absolute geniuses. 😍

The Strokes is actually a killer album—honestly, it’s starting to rank higher for me than Inside Out. Lately, I can't stop playing See the Sun & Mr. Maker on my computer. 😬
How to schedule a urology appointment? in Health ·
So, if I grab a referral from my doctor, can I just swing by any urologist whenever I have a free moment? Like, if they’ve extended their hours, can I just pick any specialist on the schedule?

I'm really hoping to knock everything out in a single visit so I don't have to keep making trips back and forth to the clinic...
TOTAL APATHY!!!😁

Man, you're totally right 👍
Defendor (2010) in Movies ·
This is actually one of those rare times where I genuinely loved a role from Woody's. Sure, you can definitely see the influence of Kick-Ass here, but honestly? It’s a must-watch. I’m a huge fan of that whole concept where the "heroes" are just regular people trying their best.

I'd love to see

I just swapped out my desktop theme, and now everything’s acting weird. When I hover my mouse over an open program icon on the taskbar, instead of seeing that little thumbnail preview of the window, it just shows a tiny text label of what's running.
Hopefully, you guys get what I'm getting at 😁
Does anyone know how to fix the settings to get those window previews back?
Akasha in Spirituality ·
Andrew Parker86 said:Well, I have been working on myself for several years now, and since discovering Akasha, I feel it is time to dive deeper. That is why I am reaching out for guidance, if anyone is willing to help.
The only thing is, I haven't heard much regarding "soul purposes." Honestly, I haven't studied the soul much at all; it feels a bit too abstract for me. I tend to prefer studying frequencies and brain-based practices like meditation.

casualmaker13 gave you a great nudge if you want to explore that path. It's fascinating stuff to dig into. My only advice? Just make sure to check in with yourself every once in a while to ensure you're still grounded and haven't drifted too far off into the clouds. If you feel yourself floating away, just take a moment to get back to earth. 😉

Akasha in Spirituality ·
Andrew Parker86 said:I just received a newsletter from Inoptimum regarding a truly fascinating subject—Akashi. It claims that through access to Akashi, one can learn absolutely everything; every event past and future, and everything concerning oneself. Does anyone happen to have more information on this, or perhaps know how one might gain access to Akashi? Here is the link ->

http://www.inoptimum.com/index.asp?23,3829,1

Honestly, I feel like ever since spiritual wisdom has leaked out of those exclusive little circles, people either don't get it at all or they just want to exploit it to make a quick buck. Specifically, what Inoptimum is advertising feels pretty gimmicky.
If you're actually interested in the Akasha, you need to start with the basics. Focus on your own personal growth first—working on your emotions, your core beliefs, your soul's purpose... once you've done that work, the path to the Akasha will become clear enough on its own.
How to schedule a urology appointment? in Health ·
I need to see a urologist for an exam, and I’m a bit confused about the workflow. Do I need to head to the clinic first to get on the schedule, or should I go to my primary care physician first to grab a referral? It’s been a while since I’ve had to navigate the healthcare system, and I keep hearing people mention that you can just book directly through your GP...
