We don't see vanilla bars as often as chocolate bars because of how we experience flavor and pleasure. Chocolate has compounds like theobromine and caffeine, which give it a mild stimulating effect, making it feel more exciting and energizing. Plus, its rich, complex flavor profile appeals to a wider range of tastes. Vanilla, on the other hand, is more subtle and lacks the same sensory punch, even though it’s a universally loved flavor.

All advice I give is advice I should take, but don't
I think mostly 30s and 40s based on the memes
It definitely sounds like a job change is a good idea if you’re feeling like the environment is holding you back or just not a good fit for your skills and values. I'm actually in a similar boat and actively exploring new opportunities as well. It’s tough when you can’t make the changes that would improve things for everyone. Keep pushing for what you know is right, but also keep your options open and look for a place where you can grow and make a real impact.
I’ve been feeling the same way, honestly. I used to love gaming, but lately it’s hard to get into anything, and I think it’s not just about quitting gaming. The real issue is that when I try to play the older games I enjoy, my roommate criticizes them. It’s like every time I want to play something, I’m told it’s "boring" or "outdated," and I’m pushed to play newer stuff instead. It’s really killed the fun for me.
I know they mean well, but they have similar input on pretty much everything, like food, music, TV/movies, and clothing. We’ve been friends since grade school, and I’m not sure where the disconnect came from, but I wish they’d try positive reinforcement instead. I don’t really respond well to their usual methods. It just makes everything feel more like a critique than a suggestion.
I’m drawn to places that feel forgotten, where time seems to stand still. The emptiness and absence of people create a rare solitude, and these spaces feel like snapshots of a different era. I love seeing nature gradually reclaim what was once built by humans. It’s a reminder of nature’s persistence, quietly reclaiming what we left behind.
Above all, I enjoy the disconnection. These places exist outside the rush of modern life, free from obligations and deadlines. Stepping into them feels like entering a different reality, one that’s both familiar and alien at the same time
Not at all! I used to wait tables, and I always appreciated it when people did that. It shows that they care about helping to clear the table and make the process smoother for the staff. It also gives us a little head start when we come to clear the dishes. Of course, it’s important not to stack them too high or in a way that makes it hard to carry, but a little effort to tidy up is always appreciated!
