30 Surprisingly Honest Takes On Various Topics, As Seen In TikTok’s Latest Trend

It is a beautiful country. I would say "Be the change you want to see in the world" but unfortunately with a two-party system, it's very hard to change anything. There is just such an "Us vs Them" mindset; it's like watching toddlers bicker.

But people get the politicians they deserve. Politicians are voted on based on their policies. So they develop policies based on what they know people want, not what's right and what's good for them.

Suffering is truly about perspective...

You love cats? Nothing crazy about that: help NOT required!

In my cat shelter, at least six cats were 'roadkill', but drivers actually stopped to check if they were alive. They were and made a full recovery. The only thing that distinguishes them from the rest of our rescues are their names: Victor, Pheonix, Charon, Hades, Persephone and Lazarus.

this is the same as me!

Well, of course!

panel four is legit me, when i'm inadvertently reminded that people can be scum to animals and that there are who knows how many animals that should be safe indoors and are instead outside and sometimes dead, it upsets me a great deal

beep. . . . beep. . . . beep. . . . beep. . . .beep

..... just like those that listen to their smoke detector beep for days.

...yours makes a sound if you're not buckled in? mine just puts the light on the dash, i think, although it's entirely possible i just don't hear the sound, because i wear my seatbelt and often buckle up before i even turn the car on.

It's a self-solving problem on a Darwinian level.

And people using those clip-thingies to make the alarm stop. Or fastens the belt before sitting down, sitting on top of the closed belt. They aren't just stupid or (willfully) ignorant. They are evil

I think it's a serious lack of education if you eat with your mouth open. Ew.

I would get up and leave because I might do something stupid

OP's condition is called Misophonia

While I understand this I always feel that it's important to point out that there are places on this planet where this is a sign of respect and enjoyment of the meal.

Those people who step off an escalator and just stop there looking around or still talking, with all people behind them piling up to get off too.

Oh, this one hits home! I've experienced soooo many times that people just stop and talk in the middle of an aisle in a shop so that no one can pass either side. Or people parking their shopping trollies in such a way that they block the flow of traffic in a shop.

This one sends my wife over the edge. She absolutely HATES it.

Uh, some people have ADHD and don't realize they're in your way. They're not being self-centered or having a "need" to block a whole doorway, they have no idea. Just say excuse me and they'll move

This is sweet. I hope my kids have this kind of relationship when they're grown. I have only brothers, but we're all close, even if we all live on different continents

You definitely ought to say that. At least to her, if not to others. We always assume the people we care about know how much they mean to us, but often, they don’t. Tell them.

People like to make so many assumptions about families. I've had a few grumpy and egotistical patients try to insult me by saying "Didn't your mother ever teach you that?" (usually regarding something they're wrong about anyway).... in real life I shrug and say "I guess not"... in my mind, I'm thinking, "my mom died before I turned five, you ignorant moron." Sure, saying it aloud would probably shut them up... but I'm there for patient healing, not my own pride.

You don't NEED to shave, girls. The perfect body doesn't exist.

.....and why is this a beauty standard for women? Hairless legs, pits, etc. is a relatively modern trend. Just about 100 years old. What is it about female body hair that seems so offensive to society?

I agree. Shaving absolutely sux, but if we don't do it, we get judged. It's ridiculous how taboo body hair is on women when it's completely natural.

I made a joke in covid about loving the feel of wind in my hair but probably time to shave my legs. It got heat. Like am I doing you and are you personally affected by my not shaving my legs?

And even if you have a modern safety razor, there is that strip of skin you actually shave off that bleeds like a pig and really hurts!

If people are late, go ahead with whatever you were planning to do, with or without them. Never accomodate this behaviour, because this behaviour is controlling you. It's your time they're wasting.

I am totally on board with her. People who are late all the time, it's like they are stealing your life. You don't get that time back. Ever. They just shortened what you have left. So incredibly selfish.

I have ADHD. One of the most stressful things in my life is getting somewhere on time and not an hour early or late. It has me sweating, crying and shaking. In 72 years, I've never been able to master times and dates.

With some people I know, I'll make an appointment for (say) 6:45 because I know they'll never show up until at least 7:15; I'm there shortly after 7:10.

I play soccer and a few friends of mine are ALWAYS late to games. Not only are they late, they show up in flip flips and have to take time to put on their cleats. Sometimes we have to start games short bc they can't get there on time. 100% super rude.

Same, I love my bed, I love napping and reading in my bed then sleeping in my bed. I am a cat in human body I'm sure of it.

i have to be in my bed; chairs and even the couch destroy my spine and jam my tailbone up into it. my options are semi-reclining in bed, or misery.

That is one cute doggie, they're one of my favourite breeds

correct

Give it thirty or forty years and you may not feel the same way.

Was this ghost-written by my dog lol. I swear I'll start thinking of making some chicken for dinner and he's already salivating.

That's awesome, well done. You just explained my life goals.
