I feel like I'm coming to the conclusion that alot of guys want short women. I always feel that people find them more beautiful and sexy. I don't know what to do because it seems you can't change people to like both obviously. Why is this a thing though?

Here in Norway, we all have our General Practitioners assigned to us. We also only pay about 3500kr a year and then the government covers everything once you reach that threshold amount. And since I've reached that amount last February due to multiple visits to an endodontist, all my medical check ups are now covered by the state except for hygiene fees which is about 59-90kr per session.

I've been making appointments to my GP for stomach issues since last September and I always make sure to check out any incurred fees at the end of the visit through this little 'kiosk' or screen besides the reception. I will immediately pay if it shows me that I should. I did the same last Thursday when I went there and just like my last appointment, it didn't show me anything. Nothing to pay so just like last time, I simply go home.

Yesterday, I received a text with a link from a payment app from my clinic. It says there, "JustWalkHome". I was aghast and I panicked a little because I know for a fact that I checked that damn kiosk before I left that day. I even remembered how one of the people there were looking at me as I do so and while I walk out because I was a bit anxious about being watched. Anyways, I kinda wanna email the clinic to tell them that I did check before leaving and that they could access the CCTV as well if they want to just for me to freaking calm down. I don't want them to think that I'm someone who just randomly walks out without paying 59kr for crying out loud. Wtf.

It's all paid now but I'm so embarrassed by that quote from the text!

If Earth had a theme song/anthem this would be it. If we will compete in the Intergalactic Games this will be played if a humans wins.

You can agree, you can disagree this is the truth.

Hello reddit, I mostly listen to music from the 40s to the 80s (to drop some names: Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, Simon&Garfunkel, Queen, ABBA, Talk Talk, etc.) and some artists from the late 90s to early 2000s (currently really into Robbie Williams, Michael Bublé, Keane, Bruno Mars, etc.). But I can't seem to meet people IRL in my age group - I'm in my early twenites - who share this taste in music or the artists I like.

So I was wondering, just out of curiosity, if any of you share this taste in music or know anyone who does. I would like to get a rough idea as to how common this era/genre of music really is, and whether or not I've just been unlucky so far when meeting new people. Also feel free to give me some song suggestions while you're at it!

I think it would be really nice to have some irl friends with who I can vibe to to my favourite music. I guess I'll just have to hope that someday I'll meet those people!

Anyways, have a great day.

What percent of your thoughts would you guess are accompanied by words? When I learned a second language, for the first time I noticed that I could have full thoughts without words, although I find it incredibly difficult to sustain. Before writing this post I googled the phenomenon and learned that it is called unsymbolic thinking, and that a substantial fraction of people have no internal monologue. But I'm curious if it's a smooth gradient from end of the spectrum to the other, or if most people are firmly either symbolic thinkers or unsymbolic thinkers. How would you describe your thoughts?

2010 just doesn't seem that far away or long ago for me and this feeling bothers me A LOT and causes some depression and I can't explain why. I feel like I am trapped from back then and haven't really moved on in life. It's also very jarring to me if I am talking to someone and about something like the other day when I asked someone when did that happen, and she said "oh my goodness, a life time ago, in 2014" and I'm like what? That's a lifetime ago? 2010 doesn't even seem like a life time ago to me.

Just for some perspective, I am 44 years old so maybe because I am older, a decade doesn't seem that long to me compared to when I was younger? But I also feel like I am ONLY 44 not 84, so a decade should still feel like a decade ago.

Be brutally honest with me because I need to fix this.

Ps: I'm not active much on any social media, hardly post on my Instagram ( private ) which barely has 190 followers, even when I post it's very basic and cute pictures only nothing revealing or sexy( not that it matters but putting it out there) , I never even flirt with guys but even after all of this most of the texts I get are from guys sexualising me and lusting over me, it's mainly like nobody wants to know the real me - the person inside. I'm tired of being treated like this

The beginning of 2024 after me and my two friends totally went to different colleges I felt like everything changed , I’m not sure but I felt like my friend was envious of me going to the college she always wanted , it was just a feeling but I was uncomfortable so slowly I stopped replying to her and talking until our friendship ended

I honestly miss talking with them and I don’t even know if my feelings were right or wrong or if it’ll be right to get in contact with them again after all of this time , they’re still talking and going out

I’m normally an introvert and until now I didn’t really find any friends like them again and I feel like a bad person for cutting the friendship suddenly for no reason for just feeling a certain way

What do I do

We all know life is life sometimes, and sometimes we need to relax, have some “me time” chill, etc.

What helps you to calm down, de-stress, and relax?

For me, it’s using a heating pad (I don’t even have any pain, I just find it so comforting and it helps calm my mind), listening to lofi music (the lofi girl YouTube channel), watching my favorite YouTubers, and drinking hot cocoa.

For the record, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. It's just that I'm not, so it was always uncomfortable whenever my mom wouldn't listen to me whenever I'd told her that I'm not gay. Not that the "gay" conversation was a daily thing at the dinner table lol

Here's a light overview of my personal resume:

• In my mid-20s. No girlfriend. Haven't had a girlfriend in years.

• Don't really leave the house or my room much.

• Very skinny and, admittedly, "feminine" by older standards (especially older Asian standards) in regards to fashion, personality, etc. (honestly, to my dad, just being skinny alone is enough to make me "girly", but that's another story).

My parents are a very traditional Japanese couple. Like, I'm talking, in their eyes, I should've been married by now and should be on a clear path to having my first child within the next few years (before I'm 30, basically). They're also very judgmental of a lot of things, but they do it out of concern for me, because we both have different standards of what's "good" and what's "bad", which are reflective of the time periods and soceities we were raised in. Anyways, I'm rambling at this point, so I'll just get to it: My mom (most likely) no longer thinks that I'm gay, but that's because she stumbled upon my computer wallpaper, which is... I'll just leave it as "anime women". If you know, you know. So, yeah, she hasn't been approaching me with that "gay aura" (wild if said in a different context lol), but she's been giving me weird looks, which I typically tend to read as, "Okay, you've made your point. You're not gay. But, son, can you please explain to me what those... women were on your screen? Are you single because you don't like real women?".

Sigh... and so chapter 2 in this uncomfortable story has begun... I just hope the author decides to end the series quickly for my sake.

You know those random thoughts that suddenly hit you when you're alone, maybe in the shower? I had one today that genuinely made me question everything: What if the concept of "time" is just a construct we've created to impose order? What if yesterday, today, and tomorrow are all happening simultaneously, but our brains only perceive them in sequence to keep us sane?

What’s the wildest, most thought-provoking idea that’s ever stopped you in your tracks?

“If any” refers to salads, plates full of varied and fresh ingredients, and sandwiches, yes, guilty of buying bread as a staple like it’s 1995 again…XD oops about that one.

I try to eat more vegetables in autumn and winter, to make up for less fruit, and still eat a fair amount of fruit by winter standards, just not enough not to worry much about vegetables too lol. I want to feel my best, with all those veggies…except for the “store-bought bread,” part lol. I could never only eat bread once I learn to bake it. LOL.

Do you guys have any ideas?

I'm a guy and I feel for most guys a haircut should be a pretty easy task. But my routine is pretty involved and wondering if others feel similarly:

1. I find a warm day since I don't want to wear too much to the barber since little bits of my hair will get all over whatever I wear there. I'm in SF and it's pretty hard to find a day over 70 degrees, even in summer. Side note: I don't have a car but even if I did I wouldn't want all those bits of hair getting in my car, so I walk to/ from the barber

2. Those bits of hair make my highly uncomfortable and itchy. I try to make as direct a path from the barber to my bathtub as possible and minimize the chance for those bits of hair to disperse further.

3. While showering it takes quite a bit of effort to rinse those bits of hair out of the remaining hair on my head, with a lot of running my fingers thru my hair. I'd say this easily adds ~1/2 hour to my shower time.

4. After my shower I put all the clothes I wore to the barber in the washer immediately, again to take care of those bits of hair.

I'm not the most productive person, but this routine easily takes me a whole afternoon. And afterward I just feel mentally if not physically exhausted.

What's your haircut routine? Do you find cleaning up after those bits of hair as annoying as I do? Any suggestions? :) Thx in advance!

As a nurse, I’ve seen a lot of surprising things, but one of my favorites was when a patient suddenly started singing opera for the whole ward. It was so random but made everyone’s day! Have you ever had a moment at work that totally surprised you or made you smile?

Music is like very mood based. so i have a favoritt song or sjangre after my mood. Today i listened to Mexico by James Taylor, because its a mood lifter. Especially now when its grey and cold outside and we are already come to late fall. so whats your mood lifting song for today?

Idk chatgpt is just always so nice to me. Like bruh I just wanted to ask it if a song title i came up with would be gramatically correct ( I'm not an english native ) and after it responded it also added "Goodluck with your song" like no one Irl would say that to me why are you so nice man

Where I live, temps are still in the 70s (Fahrenheit) right now during the day, and 50s at night. I’m so ready for cooler weather! It just helps bring in the holiday season! I’m also a big fan of coziness. On a cold day, you’ll find me under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and one of those fireplace videos on the tv (makes me happy just thinking about it😊)

I know weather and seasons will vary depending on where around the world you live, so what’s the season/weather like where you are? Are you ready for the weather to change? Are you a fan of coziness and cold weather?

Because I’m afraid of heights, but it’s not like one who isn’t afraid of heights would think…

I can climb up and down a ladder no problem. I can go to the top floor of a skyscraper and look down no problem. I went to the Grand Canyon and stepped out onto that platform that has viewing glass over a very long fall.

Basically as long as I have harness or some handrails, then I’ll be alright, but I’ve been in a couple of situations in my life where I had no safety equipment or handrails, and that’s where the fear kicks in.

Once I look down, and see that I’m some distance off the ground, I’ll start to feel lightheaded. I’ll begin to freeze up knowing one wrong step could mean the end for me.

The crazy thing for me is the fact that both times where I froze up and got lightheaded from looking down is the fact I wasn’t that far off the ground, and there was a deep river below my feet (yes, I can swim). I was just walking across a half ass made bridge out of telephone poles for the landowner to drive across on with his ATV. Btw, we had permission to be on his land.

And of course for all of us afraid of heights, we are always with someone who isn’t. My friend that was with me just walked across the bridge no problem. Looks back at me taking my time, and then he just starts making light jabs at me as I’m carefully planning where I should put the next foot down.

While I was telling myself in my mind that I was okay, my friend is just laughing and yelling “today, grandma!”. Just shut it, I don’t wanna go for an unexpected swim, man lol

hihi! im looking to make a glitter spray for my prom dress, i heard of using glitter and hairspray, however, i dont want my prom dress to have glitter stuck onto it forever, isit possible to wash off the glitter and hairspray?

20 year old driver here. I was driving through a busy parking lot at an outdoor mall. Somebody was turning into the parking lot (from an intersection with a stop sign) and we almost hit each other. I honked my horn and slammed on the brakes as soon I saw them pull out. They started yelling at me through their window. Did I do something wrong? I guess I assumed (probably incorrectly) that if you were already inside the parking lot you had right of way. I hate to think that I did something stupid that could have gotten someone else hurt. Should I just go extra super slow?

I’ve a flight to catch tomorrow (in about 15 hours) and I’ve yet to start packing. I have my suitcase open in front of me and apparently absolutely no motivation at all to put anything in it. Genuinely considering waiting till I wake up tomorrow morning? Which is definitely a bad idea, but right now it seems like a pretty good idea (which is how I always know it’s a bad idea).

Anyways, anyone else have trouble packing??

I recently relocated to a new area and was doing some grocery shopping. I went to pick up my bag of crispy sweet potato fries just to find out they do not sell them at this location. So I just wanted everyone to know that when I go lay in a bush and cry I'm not the one in the wrong. How could they do this to me? 😂😭

Do you miss the cartoons shown in Cartoon Network when you were in you were a kid in the 90s?

I sure do miss them a lot.

Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Popeye, Scooby Doo, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Top Cat, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Jonny Quest etc. So many great cartoons were shown on Cartoon network on those days.

I just recently saw Cartoon Network and it is not the same as before. I really miss those good old days.

I have a small but persistent mystery in my life: my beloved chocolate bar, the one I hide for special occasions, seems to have vanished into thin air. This isn't the first time this has happened either. I live alone, and I’ve checked everywhere. Initially, I thought someone was sneaking in and eating it, but that feels a bit too far-fetched.

I’ve tried many creative solutions to keep my chocolate safe, like hiding it in boxes labeled 'tax documents' or putting it in an old protein powder canister. Yet still, they disappear! Is it possible that I’m just subconsciously eating them and forgetting? Or is my place haunted by a chocolate-loving ghost?

Has anyone else experienced something like this? I'm at a loss and starting to wonder if I have a secret sweet tooth thief in my midst.

I know we all have that one quirky food combo that just works, even if others think it's weird..

What's your go-to mix that people might not expect to be delicious?

Mine is a Peanut Butter & Cheese sandwich😅
