I can't stand Streamers at all

I really dislike streamers 'cause it feels like they building a cult of their personality with video games? I play plastation and computer too, and i get it if you cant play a game for some reason you go watch a gameplay, but this streaming shits and their viewers are going to far i guess. People talking like they know streamers personally, i really cant stand this para-social relationship that is going on with streamers and their viewers. And some even get a fuck ton money from it, like i really don't get it.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk..

i believe my grandfather died to break my cousin and her fiance up

let me give yall a few examples as to why her fiance is the BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT in the world.
and you tell me if im being superstitious or not.
we have a big family so bare with me.
\- he cheated on her while away at med school, and she found out through INSTAGRAM DMS of the girl sending screenshots and pictures
\- he convinced her to leave our other cousin who got ROOFIED at a bar away in an uber because he didnt fucking care i guess
\- our other cousin WITNESSED him cheating on her at a bar. told her what happened, and fiance manipulated the entire situation as to, "o everyones trying to break us up"
MIND YOU HALF OUR COUSINS GREW UP WITH FIANCE.
the list goes on I DO NOT LIKE THAT MOTHERFUCKER
anyways,
my grandfather passed yesterday evening. right when my parents were ON THE WAY to the airport to go to a wedding.
and as our other families from florida and texas gather in our town for this ENGAGEMENT PARTY.
their engagement party was supposed to be today
(mind you, I HAD TO FLY back and found the cheapest fucking flight i had ever seen in years.)
so grandpa dies, her parents and fiance's parents discuss right after wtf to do about this engagement party they threw 15 grand on

what to do if you lack critical thinking skills but are also self aware of it

hello everyone! i am a 27F and in the last few years i have realized i am kind of an idiot, lol. i value intelligence, but as i’ve gotten older i realize that i am kind of dumb— it’s like im air headed and lack critical thinking skills compared to everybody else i interact with. the issue is, im horrifically self aware about this and as much as i have tried to change and improve it’s gone nowhere. ive been dealing with this for years, but my self esteem since i’ve gotten a new job in the last six months has absolutely tanked because it’s even more obvious in the field that i am in. i have tried everything, being more “invisible,” educating myself more, just trying to laugh off whatever embarrassing thing i did in front of my coworkers, etc.
i guess it’s just an extremely hard pill to swallow, and i have got to figure out how to not feel any lower than i currently do because i am at rock bottom, lol.
thank you in advance!
edit: edit to add that i don’t feel like i don’t have value or bring anything to the table, but this one aspect of myself is dominating all of the other qualities about myself that i view as “good” because this constantly impacts everything around me

I slept with a girl a decade younger than me just to feel powerful, and ruined my life in the process.

I'd say I'm a succesful writer. But that would be giving my ego one last stroke to my ego to close off yesterday's night of consecutive, stronger and louder inflations of my fragile perception of self. Truthfully, I only ever wrote one good book that did pretty well, and earned me enough money to become a high stakes investor.
As a kid, I grew up seeing those in positions of power with a perpetual sneer on my face. To me, this people have always been a whole different human race. The way they breed selectively, the look in their eyes as if they knew they are better than you, and all of the disgusting experiences I had with them when working as a nightclub waiter. It made my stomach coil and roar over the nothingness that followed my humble begginings.
Sooner than I could perceive, I found myself selling and buying businesses and exploiting the very foundings of the system. I found myself earning money out of debt, and then I felt the pride that came with that. I felt my chest pop out when my head wandered to earnings as I heard words like debt, or rent, or salaries; when to my mother and my father, this words meant nothing but dread.
Today, well, yesterday (when you don't sleep a n

I'm actually getting afraid to express my beliefs publicly. Never felt this way as an American before

I am feeling actually scared to hold any leftist or progressive beliefs. I never felt this way so much in the United States until now. People would give you shit sure and you wouldn't take about it at work or polite company, but I was never scared of violence or legal repercussions for my political beliefs until now.
This regime and its various goon squads have expressed clearly that leftist or progressive beliefs even basic stances on human rights are NOT acceptable, and you can even be punished, hurt or killed for holding those political beliefs. It's very scary and screams authoritarian regime.
Should I be censoring myself now? Do I have to worry about targeted surveillance? My voting records are already accessible, so are social media posts expressing support for progressive politics. Now I'm terrified that they have some kind of profile on me and if I don't shut up I could be disappeared eventually too. I never actually worried about what I said so much, to the point that I am scared to discuss politics anywhere, ever, even in private with friends and allies.
And to these people, being LGTBQIA+ and being leftist are basically the same, so even my loved ones who are gay, nonbinary etc could be proclaimed to be terrorists or criminals next.
I'm very very scared, I feel like I have to fake my identity and censor myself everywhere. Am I just paranoid? I don't think so.

Should Husband And Wife Live In Seprate Rooms After Marriage?

So I myself disagree with this, but I saw a very small youtuber(very low views and subscriber) who makes 'logical' and 'rational' content say this, according to him this will keep the relationship good and exiting
I get the idea of giving eachother personal space but like you guys do your seprate job, have separate friends you must go to the same room at night to sleep and talk
What are your opinions on this?
EDIT:- Guys before you hate, I am not against people who like this set up, but the thing is this set up is not for me and I was just curious does it even work
