i used to love being here and the discussions on this server were so lucrative and non-toxic. what happened to this subreddit? i remember something going down in the discord server which resulted in it being closed down, but i did not know the sub was dead too. it's sad man, this is one of the good corners of reddit and with all the bs going around in the country, i miss being here. :(
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day? Vera! Vera! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do?

Hello good folks,
I am going to be a father soon, if any of you are fathers already do you have any tips for me? If you are young one how did you expect your father to be? What values and principles can be inculcated in the child?

Here’s my situation: currently I don’t have the time energy to go to the gym after college so I need something that can be done at home.
I do have access to my terrace but I rather workout in one empty room in the house.
I want to start out with pushups, squats and crunches.
I don’t have a pull up bar or anything of that sort
But here’s my issue, I can’t even do 5 pushups and even if I do them I don’t think I have the right posture.
I need suggestions on what exercises I can do with my current state and environment.
Thanks in advance!

Dear men,
Im married and pregnant. Have been unwell as well. My husband has a serious porn / masturbation addiction. He is super caring for me and loves me alot. But ive been on odds with him because of this one thing. He says theres nothing bad in it but I find it highly disrespectful.
I just dont get these 2 sides. Is this "hila ke soja" thing an emotional support for you guys? He'll be going out of country to work and i can't help but think of all he can do with that freedom. Matlab aaj porn hai kal koi ladki scene mein agayi toh? Aisa possible hai kya?
Waise in the day time he's an adarniya beta jo maa ki seva karta hai patni ko bhi pregnancy mein support kiya. Ive been married to him for 7 and have a 5 year old as well. He loves his son alot and even talks to my baby bump in a cute way. Yeh sab uski ek side hai aur raat ko hi just doesn't have any self control and watches porn inspite knowing what i feel about his addiction. Twice a week.
Sex life is okayish ab sara performance bathroom mein dega solo toh aur kya expect kr sakte hain. But chalo yeh bhi seh leti hu ki banda sahi hai.
Please tell me men. What am I supposed to make of his weird behavior. Is shagging just like susu potty to you all ki karna hi hai?
I feel like i have nowhere to go now with my new baby coming i'll be busy with it and my son....and He'll be in his new country working and shagging.

So the question is coming because today a friend of mine from last 4 months said in a conversation, while we were talking about something that once we are out of this company and not living close by we won't call much, we won't update each other about ourselves. This is not like "those" friendships, those are made in a lot of years.
Here I was thinking that I have found such a good friend, we discuss, talk, have fun, and have started to care a little for each other. This made me very sad. I was like I was thinking I have found a potential life time friend, and she has such thoughts! She has already decided its fate.
I do agree with her last statement that good friendships takes years to build, but her statement gives me the idea that she is not even considering this friendship as potential long term friendship.
Is this normal that people consciously make friends for short term only, as long as they are in same company, or in same locality? She is in a relationship of long term, do relationship (sense of security) make one like this? I personally only consider those people as friends who I can share my personal stuff with. I feel like if I am not comfortable talking to someone why should I even spend time or talk to them. Is this because I don't have much friends (according to above definition), and I don't share stuff with my family?
Please please share your opinions on the whole situation or any sub section of the post, and also please suggest how should I deal with this.
(To be clear, there is no romantic/sexual angle to this friendship, like literally none.)
If you like what I do like sub share comment :)

Hello, 19M here
Am a Neurodivergent who is clinically diagnosed with ADHD. I have an amazing friends circle, like anyone would d1e to have friends like me and these people have lasted for good amount of time. However the problem arises when it comes to political perspectives, perspectives on certain human rights, interests sometimes.
Am an Atheist and left inclining when it comes to my perspectives. My sense of Justice is very strong which also comes from justice sensitivity in neurodivergents.
As much as I love my people, I am struggling bring myself to peace with how they view several aspects of life and it causes a lot of distress in me. I constantly feel like a misfit. I wish people tried to de-centre and see how I felt or how my thought process works like I do to them.
Some of the views they have are very concerning (on toxic masculinity, lgbtq+, feminism, minority rights etc) and I find them to be morally very questionable however I still continue to co-exist with them. When we have discussions some of them have told me that my ideologies are very radical and that am a hard nut to crack. They have told me that I don't accept others perspectives. Personally I have introspected a lot into this, I immediately agree when I see logic but they want me to agree to opinions when are very bigoted and make no sense because they agreed to what I said previously. Moreover its hard for me to do that because am a very transparent and straightforward person. I constantly strive to express the true version of myself and be real. I calmly explain everything without throwing any personal attacks when I try to educate them on something. I put lot of my time, energy and resources making sure I give my best. Recently the Kolkata Incident has affected me a lot, and above this the discussions I had with them. The Males ones are usually harder to deal with because they mostly tend to be less agreeable and see everything on surface level
Atleast my old friends that I have some common interests with me, but the ones in my college don't. Am a huge k-pop fan and my interests are very nerdy(?) like psychology, science, bio, politics, sociology etc. I love cricket, watching true crime podcasts, random videos on YouTube which are informative and also Quizzing. I barely watch any movies or webseries. I have just watched some 5-6 kdramas and no english webseries. I have no interest in performing arts. My friends here are the opposite, I constantly feel left out because of that. They do speak to me well, give me emotional support, take me to places they go to and take care of me; but when we meet they speak about all that and I feel constantly left out because of that. I can't ask them to stop or sum because performing arts/movies/extracurriculars are the escape place from the hectic amount of stress and workload our university gives us.
Even in academics, when it comes to Research ( Am a Psychology major ) its hard for me to find people who have common interests/mindset.
I am part of quiz club of my department, I was part of the Magazine club as well (in 1st year). I am going to gym regularly for the past 3 months. I am trying to pick on hobbies and spend my time doing what I like but wish I had enough time for all of that considering how hectic my university is.
I love my friends and I can't think of leaving them even if its concerning at times. It gets very distressing mentally. I wish had a bunch of people who can really understand me and my perspectives and also vibed with my interests. I wish someone could listen to me infodump about my interests and what I know IRL. I wish I had people with similar academic interest as me who would be willing to work with me and we mutually supported each other. I wish my own friends didn't perceive me as sensitive and radical minded sometimes and saw where am coming from.
