He’s harmless, incredibly kind and understanding, but can come on a little strong and overzealous in some friendships. But ever since I read his posts, I’ve had infinitely more empathy towards him. I, too, have come out of dark places with these same friends. These are the relationships we protect and build and grow with.

I’ve ss’d and saved a few things I’ve read he’s posted about me, my favorite is “I absolutely adore her, the way her face lights up when she’s excited, anything she wants I’ll do or give her within my means.”.
If you spend a lot of time online, there must be something you love doing or at least a reason why you even come here. Some people use the internet solely for looking for information, others to keep in touch with people in their lives, or things like that.
Of course, entertainment is a big part of the internet's success—it provides so many choices that no matter what your interests are, you're bound to find something worth investing time in.
Some people love easily accessible music, movies and TV shows online on streaming services. Even though there is currently a discourse about the declining quality of these services, as the market is becoming too saturated with a variety of them, prices are skyrocketing, and people are getting tired of subscription-based models.

I took screenshots and sent them to him saying “oh my god look at this dumb hate page twitter keeps recommending to me. I guess someone in my contacts is so bored with their pathetic life they have to spread hate towards strangers”
I knew it was his.
He tried to play it off like it wasnt him but the page was deleted right after I sent him that text. I think I broke up with him the next week.

i reached out to her and within seconds the post was deleted and gone. still have screenshots of it though - the internet is forever. from then on, i got amazing performance reviews, regular raises, plenty of PTO and grace, etc. but it’s never left my mind.
and before anyone asks: no, none of it was true. it was thinly veiled fat shaming. i started a weight loss journey after i left the job and came back for a party and got treated like an entirely different human being after losing some weight. it was 100% just body shaming.
Other people enjoy the content that social media provides them -- and there's a lot of it. Probably every day, a new content creator is "born", but even without them, social media gets filled with various content, for instance, stories on Reddit. You definitely have heard about them.
Well, if you’re among those rare folks who don’t know about these communities, let us enlighten you. As we said previously, there are online forums where people come to whine about troubles, ask for advice, and consult about the situation they find themselves in. As Melanie Myers and Amber Gwynne on the Conversation put it, folks go there to “crowd-source ‘moral clarity’”.

A severance check, couple of years, and a new career later and he’s divorced cause his wife cheated. He cried up and down that post about how he was faithful and would have -never- even considered it.
Except he used to sexually harass girls at work all of the time and bragged about his tinder account.
How’s your wife’s new boyfriend Darrell? 😭😂 the kids seem to love him!
Basically, it’s forums filled with dramatic stories and people not holding back what they think. Not that different from the rest of the internet, is it?
So, what makes these corners of the internet so popular? As mentioned earlier, the Conversation piece explains that they have a very enticing formula that produces dilemmas in a way that is easily digestible for the masses. With such a quality, over time, they became a collaborative form of first-person storytelling suited for online consumption.

The thing is that all of these stories are written by people. Whether they all actually happened or not is a topic for another day. But the point remains that they are written by people. Due to the sheer amount of posts that come in daily, it’s even possible that some of us know people who have written there and maybe even went kind of viral with their posts.
Maybe these people wrote anonymously with hopes that no one they know will figure out it’s them. Or perhaps they wrote with the hope that no one they knew would find the posts. After all, oftentimes the OPs of these posts tend to do things like that.

Also, his comments against people of the country I’m from.
Doesn’t mean that they always succeed. From time to time, Reddit posters get uncovered by the people in their lives, and at worst by the people they’re writing about. That’s what today’s list is about.
To be more specific, it’s about people uncovering not just random people from their lives writing on Reddit, but their significant others. This basically guarantees that there’s gonna be some drama there. And reading about others’ drama is always entertaining, isn’t it?
Have you ever uncovered anything similar about your significant other, family, or friends? We want to hear your stories in the comments!

He denied being sober when posting on the swinger pages at first, then later admitted "He was bored and curious". I would have told him to go read a book but "you know I don't read books!"
I ended up returning his very nice, very expensive gift for what would have been our 4 year anniversary and broke up with him!
