Bored Panda's stupid rule about censorship. People's downvotes cause you to be suspended. Three suspensions and you are banned! You can email BP about the suspensions and bans but not ONCE after several emails have I heard a response from BP.

There are people far younger who behave as if they were “senile” or clueless, and then there are people in their 90s with whom you’d love to spend hours with-you just know they understand things that you don’t and want to learn everything you can. Also, the same people tend to be mischievous and make you laugh…anyone who automatically thinks that about you is ageist and I am very sorry you have been treated that way.

People, mainly the general public, NEED TO READ SIGNS!!! Especially in businesses! They are there for a reason! It is not only annoying, but you can pretty much answer your own question if you take 2 seconds to read the sign that is practically right in your face. Soooo many times have not only I, but my employees having to point to a sign explaining the very thing a customer is asking. READ. THE. SIGN. Please.

What we can do about one or two-party dominated countries that manipulate everything on earth. Where it doesn't really make a difference to the foreign policy of those countries if you vote A or B or just A because that's all that there is.
Why the countries most responsible for violence against other countries are still on the UN security council and UN human rights council.

Is a hot dog a sandwich? Some people say no because you do not slice through the bread fully, but I contend you could not fully slice through a subway sarnie, does that mean it is no longer a sandwich? Also when eating chips with bread and butter, it is commonplace to put a few chips on a slice and fold it over, this is still a chip sandwich, imho.

When I was younger I believed that dreams were like teleporting through time to the next day. It seems instant, so I thought that if someone had fallen asleep before me they were already in tomorrow, and they had already experienced the things that happened, but I was interacting with the version of them that was currently doing those, almost like every second of the day was recorded and I had to interact with it later then then cause I fell asleep later. And if I fell asleep first, then I was doing stuff that they hadn’t done yet, but j was seeing them do it cause otherwise it would reveal the ‘system’ to everyone. And is could catch up to people by falling asleep faster the next day. I was a messed up kid…😂
I also thought SpongeBob was a piece of cheese. S P O N G E Bob also sponge is a weird word DONT you agree? Say it a few times and spell it. It doesn’t really make sense. Thank you if you read this far!!!

I broke up with my wife after nearly 22 years a few month ago.
Dating as a single 40-something year old guy is actually way better than what I was expecting and have got a cute girlfriend now.
Ex-wife asked me recently if I wanted to reconcile with her, I said no.
I was the one to end the marriage and I've been so much happier being single, but the whole thing with the reconciliation has totally messed up my head.

Idk if this counts but I want to be vegetarian, even tho I love meat i at least want to try it for a while and I told my mum something like “what if I was vegetarian and you didn’t know” and she said she would want a refund for all the steak I’ve ever eaten. It made me quite sad. Also does anyone know any good brands for meat substitutes (that sell in the uk)

I've been a vegetarian since I was sixteen, and it started with that same feeling of "I want to try it for a while." Meat substitutes in the UK include Beyond Meat, Gardein, and Linda McCartney. There are also plenty of great cultures with vegetarian recipes. I make things like cheese ravioli with tomato sauce, vegetable stir-fry with tofu, Thai yellow curry, and chana masala (spicy Indian chickpeas). A lot of these things are quick and inexpensive to make. I think your mother is reacting from a position of feeling hurt, like you don't appreciate the food you've eaten in the past. I encourage you to let her know that that's not where you're coming from, and that you feel sad about her reaction. In the meantime, good for you for exploring things you want to explore! That's a great quality, and it will serve you well in life.

My weird dream. So I was doing classic fundraising stuff going from door to door and I went to this house that was much bigger on the inside than the outside. That house was owned by the mafia and they stole my flute. They put this weird orange stuff that would not be good for me if I played my flute and I was like “Take the orange stuff out.” And so they said they would after some weird introduction. So I was incisive on a stage and someone else stole my flute And I was LIVID. He eventually had to give it back and I managed to escape. My mom got the orange stuff out after three paper towels.

I'd like to talk about some people you don't know (some of which I don't really know!) because they've been on my mind.
I went for a run in the park yesterday and I saw some guy standing there, wearing a baseball cap and a black shirt with the word "tribe" on it. Later that day, I noticed him outside Walmart. I hope he's doing well.
There's a girl on my cross country team who is not only very fast but is also a terrific person. She is so sweet and has a great sense of humor, and I love her bubbly personality. She just makes running fun, and she really knows how to bring together people who don't know each other very well.
My older cousin is probably the most creative person I know. He writes stories and draws fantastical maps; he's shown some of them to me, but he keeps the rest to himself. He's been painting since he was two years old. I find him extremely inspiring.
The only person outside of my family who talks to me every day is my best friend. I've known her since forever, and to this day she is one of the only people I can tell anything to. I'm extremely blessed to have her in my life.

There are people who will always make a day; I’ve seen a lot of people, such as my bus driver giving me smarties when I was crying and had a horrible day, and I got extra smarties too. The smart and popular girls have invited me to their table when I sat alone, and they’re kind to me. Idk why they treat me like that, but it works.

do you know the origin of the term basket case? it was from war times when they had to amputate all 4 of someone's limbs. The amputees couldn't be placed on a stretcher, because they had no limbs to stabilize themselves. Instead, these poor unfortunates were carried around in baskets. This is my favorite 'fun' fact.

Corpses and illness. The early stages of both death and some diseases can have subtle but noticeable effects on the body that serve as a convenient indicator to Ug the caveman that something is Very Bad. Something that's identifiably Wrong doesn't really need the uncanny valley effect, because the conscious mind goes, "Ah. That's not right", or the more basic disgust response takes over. But something that's only just starting to show signs has the potential - but not an absolute certainty - to cause just as many problems as more prominent "issues". Thus a lingering sense of "uhhh" without the urgency of a full-blown "UUUUGGGHH".

Gen x and Xennials feeling lost in life and ambition, or just stuck on which direction to go. I've been feeling like an under-achiever and unable to get out of a rut, and out of a bad job.
It's not like I'm not making waves and going after things I want to do. It's just that I'm feeling torn between what I'm told I should settle for that is traditional, stable (focusing on a 9-5 full time job at a company), and just going for a more creative but less stable, risky career.
I want to be doing something I'm happy with doing, at the same time bring in enough income to be live comfortably. Not necessarily a lavish life, but enough to live in a cozy, clean home with the bills paid, food in the kitchen and some savings, with an opportunity to go on at least 1 trip to see people I know in UK a year.
At the same time, I'm getting notions of "What's the point?" and "I don't want to work. Why do I need to choose a job if there are none I want to do?"
I absolutely do not want to work in the corporate scheme.

There is a UK-based website which might help; versusarthritis.org Theirs is a general approach covering most, if not all, variations of arthritis. I have ankylosing spondylitis which (according to some cursory internet research) affects 0.5% of the population and there are many support websites. For your variation, which appears slightly more common, there is virtually nothing! I think maybe you should set a website up? There is definitely a glaring hole where your support should be. Despite that, we never know whether or not there is a wonder drug just around the corner. In the meantime, I hope you have found some useful methods of managing the pain. Until then, we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed! (My attempt at gallows humour, sorry!)

I dont have the mental strength anymore to get her to find a little light at the end of the tunnel. It makes me to sad to see such a wonderful person waste away in misery.

I didn’t grow up in the U.S., but teens are really high maintenance here, especially in the burbs. . Told my 13-year-old grandson to stay away from high-maintenance girls. You’ll spend all your money on them and have little fun anyway. Look for friendships, especially with girls who are smart, active in sports and have better things to do than gossip. He’s always shy when I talk about girls….. 😆 Not sure if he will heed my advice.

for every lottery that has over $1,000,000, the amount of possible winners should be that number, so every winner can only win $1,000,000 each. ie: a lottery has $45,000,000, so there should be 45 winners. or, leave it the way it is, with one winner takes all, but require the winner to donate half their winnings to charity.

My state justifies having a lottery by saying that some of the money goes to education. What isn't publicized is that there's no net gain for the schools, because the more cash the lottery rakes in, the more the state cuts the education budget in anticipation of those windfalls. I don't feel like feeding people's addictions is the right way to fund public programs.

It turns out, I have a lot on my mind. Here are a few things that are on my mind right now:
- Why are women told to sit like a lady, talk like a lady, act like a lady etc. but men aren't told to "act like a man" etc.
- The fact that when people who have some sort of 'disability' (I put it in quotes because I don't want to offend anyone) go out in public, they get mean stares at them and rude comments said quietly about them. Like it's not their fault that they are a little bit different to you.
- Why do people think it's okay to go number 1 in a bush out in public? Like please, have a little bit of decency, and try to find a public toilet or maybe a small cornered off space to do your business.
- Why do parents think it's okay to just randomly bust open your bedroom door, look around, and then leave without closing the door. Like, hello? I could be changing in here!

How my town (and many towns/cities/states) set artists and musicians up for failure. How that culture breeds terrible lifestyle habits that ultimately hinder ones ability to take care of their overall health.
The stigma around mental illness in artists and musicians. The lack of affordable assistance for folks who legitimately cannot work a full time job because of said mental illness.

When people make posts or answer in comments, they use a question mark to end their sentences. Sometimes it’s a legit question, fine. Many times, it seems to be a statement/sentence, which is supposed to end with a period. Ex: I hate peas in my rice? Why are they asking? They don’t know if they do or not? Or: I love this (whatever it may be) ? They can’t decide if they love it or are they asking permission to?
