  1. WhatsApp is a messaging platform with a huge global user base, and it has become a staple in many people's daily lives, much like iMessage or Facebook Messenger. The above tweet provoked some think pieces, emphasizing that our reliance on certain apps could be harming communities. But what does ATRL think? Are we too quick to label others as "xenophobic" for not using a popular app? Or could there be potential consequences for not embracing global communication? P.S. I only called it X instead of Twitter in the title because of the character length

  5. So I've been obsessed with Brazil lately to the point where I watch television and film from there (learning Portuguese) and I have to say that I have never seen an appreciation or talk thread about Brazil, so I decided to start one because I want to see if any Brazilian ATRLers are on here, but I also want to talk and share more about pop culture & Brazilian culture, so yeah. Obrigado y Ola a todos vocês!

  7. Thought this would be an interesting discussion
  8. So long story short, I made a very big change and moved countries for a bit to pursue grad school a few months ago. Currently, where I live I: -have really nice rent (meaning affordable) -am at an incredibly spacious/comfortable place (esp. considering the rent) -great neighbourhood/location -not super far from university; walkable in 30 mins. So far it all sounds ideal but the "catch" is that I live with a 78 year old queer man who is both my roommate AND landlord. He's very polite and friendly and isn't a grumpy old man, but he can be very nitpicky over the smallest of things, has played the "it's my house and you're renting" card once over the trivialest ****, and just gave me a stern (but pleasant in tone ig?) "talk" because I turned the thermostat up by 1 degree I'm a grown ass man but I am obviously not 78 Anyway, at a more abstract level, I can, and am friendly with him but I think because of age we can never be friends. So while I love my room, being in the house with him feels alienating — I have none of the (allegedly) fun roommate experiences; simply can't. He also keeps bringing up minor "problems" with everything (aforementioned nitpickiness) and he like, watches TV from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m and also through the morning. The relevance of this point is when I cook when he's watching TV (the kitchen is proximal) there is this uncomfortable tension where both of us resent each other; him for the "noise" I make or something (it's literally chopping veggies, but ok). But on the other hand we give each other privacy, I give him space when he "hosts" people off grindr (ddd) and I can have some uni friends over. He's not judgy. Idk. I am not fully comfortable with him but in this TANKING economy I feel like I would be a fool to let this go. Whenever my friends have been to my place they are convinced I have some dirt on him or something b/c how did I land this at such a good price? Should I look for spaces — my lease expires in 2.5 months — or just suck it tf up and stay? Obv I won't blindly follow y'alls advice but I would like to know opinions.

    ATRL Demographic

    So, which is it? Might I need to add The Silent Generation (1928-1945) to the poll? (edit: poll is private vote so don't be shy and don't lie)
  10. we didnt sleep together the first few dates (because i wanted to be more than just a hookup) but recently we did and i discovered... hes not into penetration (he's neither a top/bottom. im vers). i dont know, im really attracted to his face, he's pursuing a phd in chemical biology, and his family is well off but im getting bored of just foreplay. should i leave him? or can i change him? is this a logical dealbreaker?

    Anxiety is kicking my ass

    I just had an anxiety attack due to realizing that my life is going nowhere. I felt restless, I couldn’t think straight and felt so claustrophobic in any space in my house. I was taking a shower and I literally had to step out twice because it felt like the walls were closing in on me. I broke my laptop recently and it hit me how much I rely on the internet as a distraction. Any time I feel bad or going through a minor crisis it’s my source of escapism. That wouldn’t be bad in of itself but it not like I’m doing much to better my real life. I still haven’t graduated, I can’t keep a job and I still live with my parents. I know that rationally my experience is not unique and I have several friends going through pretty much the same circumstances but no matter how I try to rationalize it I still feel like a failure. I turned 27 in January and were already in the middle of March 2024 and I haven’t made much progress from 2020. Every time I put in the effort it becomes too hard and I retreat into myself to escape from expectations. this entire year I’ve felt so fatigued and so uninterested in anything outside of my room. I’ve unintentionally created a four walled prison for myself and even when I’m out I still feel trapped. I feel so lonely most of the time but it’s like I can’t put in the effort to socialize. Most of my friends live more than an hour away and I don’t have a car. Even if I did I’m mostly broke and our schedules don’t always align. I work from home and I go weeks without stepping out of the house. I know that I should and literally everyone has told me that I should but I’m so tired most of the time I feel so secure in being alone in my bed even though that’s part of the reason I’m feeling this way. I get most of my socializing done alone because I don’t see my coworkers and where am I in my big age going to make friends? I rely so much on technology not having access to it makes me feel like ****. I’m honestly so stagnant but thinking about my future and ways to better my life makes me feel horrible that I just have to push the thoughts away until I can mentally deal with them. Every thing is so hard and only getting harder with everything going on. I escape into my daydreams where I live a completely different life and there’s no way to turn that life into a reality. I just want to feel like myself again and not have my mind so clouded. I went for a walk today and am trying to put in the effort. I don’t know how I’ll afford a therapist and I honestly think I have ocd and anxiety which is a whole beast in of itself. I just needed to release these thoughts from my mind and sharing them seems to be helping. Edit: Thank you to everyone for all the kind words and support. I went out with my sister today and just had an emotional breakdown. That might’ve been the first time I truly expressed everything I’ve been feeling to someone I knew and it felt good to have that support. As I type this I still have tears in my eyes and there’s a lot of pain and confusion that is still there. I know now that it’s not fair to keep all of these emotions bottled and that I can’t be my own therapist. I realize now that I do need outside help and will be seeking that as soon as I can. I wish I could say that tomorrow will be a better day but I’m not gonna place that expectation. I am sad and will probably feel this way for a while but I will seek support and not deal with it alone. Thank you again to everyone and please give me some good energy.

    Complain about inflation

    I just walked out of a Walgreens, and they were selling a little bag of Sour Patch Kids candy for $7 then I drove past the gas station and gas prices are starting to rise again. Not as bad as last summer but still almost $4. and every week it feels like it’s getting more and more expensive to live. I’m starting to feel like it’s becoming intentional. Like literally less than 2 years ago everything has nearly tripled. And don’t get me started on rent and electric bills. 💀
  19. i feel like i’ve seen this thread a couple times, but i can’t find it. so i’ll just start a new one. hey fitness gays, girls and they i’ve lowkey been obsessed with working out. i started in march, going 5 days a week. then last month I started going 6 days a week once I started seeing some slight progress. since the beginning i’ve been making protein shakes, and as of today i started creatine. if you’ve taken it before, how much more did you progress?
  20. In my recent thread about ATRL's decreasing activity, many people mentioned that they felt moderation was too strict and biased. On the other hand, I was surprised to read a wildly different take by one of the forum members today: "Sometimes people like you make me wish we shouldn’t be able to speak so freely anonymously about others online." And it made me think, what would be the best way to go about it? Was Diana right? Should we stop freely speaking about others online? Is that what this site needs?
  21. There used to be 7-10 new threads created by the hour. Now I open the dashboard and often there are threads made 16 hours ago in the today's threads section. The lounge is a graveyard. A huge amount of threads don't even hit 2 pages and there is about 4 new comments per hour. Base used to feel more lively too. Why is this and how can we fix it? Or do you prefer it this way?
  22. Ramadan, the holy month for muslims where they fast from food, water and sex from dawn until sunset begins today. to the people that partake in it, do you actually find it beneficial for your health? or is it the opposite? what are some traditions that you have in the month in your culture? and to people who never tried doing it, have you ever thought of doing it as a challenge (one or few days) i myself tried it before and didn't find it to be that hard but i imagine that doing it every day for a month must be difficult.
