That’s unfortunate. It makes it harder to find the original when too many unsourced copies get reposted elsewhere, and then the original creator doesn’t get the credit they deserve. An easy way to keep track of image sources is to add source info into the file save name such as the OP’s name and the site it was saved from.

I took some time to find the original, looks like the OP was nshnv on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/itookapicture/comments/12riaq6/itap_of_tokyo_during_the_rain/

So what’s the source then if this isn’t OC?

Edit with source for those interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/itookapicture/comments/12riaq6/itap_of_tokyo_during_the_rain/

You get used to seeing something your whole life and it becomes background noise, but it wouldn’t have been like that for the mom’s whole life, she’d be more likely to notice that she can see him that way.

The kid’s big-ass head had me questioning it too lmao.

Make your own holiday, see a therapist, find a new hobby or something you enjoy watching other than sports, read a book? Just a few ideas.

Covid might be “over”, but the scars will still remain for some time. A global pandemic doesn’t pass without having long term effects.

On Firefox it’s an infinity symbol.

Idk about OP but where I live most public stalls do have indicators but not all of them. Often custom bathrooms for places like restaurants tend to be missing them since they’re to some degree custom designed to match a certain aesthetic and I’m guessing in those cases indicators are easily forgotten or just left out of more niche bathroom stall door designs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is also an issue in older bathrooms with older stall designs because I remember indicators being less common when I was a kid. But I usually knock if I’m checking a stall like that and don’t try to look underneath until I’ve tried less invasive measures. Honestly usually you can tell just by looking at the shadows on the floor and seeing if there’s any movement or not, without having to bend over to check for feet.

This picture makes me happy when I look at it, 5 stars.

Less community repetition. I feel like it spreads out potential members and makes each community smaller with repetitive content. I wish communities could be more linked so they share content and members.

Romanticizing might be a fitting term. As in you’re romanticizing those times.

If the topic isn’t objective then I try to keep in mind that just because something makes me uncomfortable or I disagree with it, that doesn’t automatically make it wrong or me right. I have to contemplate why I disagree and whether it’s something that actually affects me or just something that rubs me the wrong way for no good reason. And if something does bother me, is it productive in any way to make that known to others or should I just keep that to myself? And even if it bothers me, does that mean other people should be bothered by it too? If yes, then why? Is it a morality thing, or just a personal preference thing? Then even if it is a morality thing, I don’t have to try to make it an argument or a fight, instead I can just try to get my own views across and explain my reasoning for the other person to make of what they will. Doesn’t mean I never get mad or into fights, but I try to usually just give the energy I get.

I double check. If I think that I’m right about something, I take a moment to consider "have I actually double checked this to make sure it’s true? If not could I potentially humiliate myself by saying something verifiably false, or could I potentially spread misinformation? If I haven’t checked, then I take the time to look into it first before trying to talk about it or make any claims about it. I try not to go based entirely off assumptions or gut feelings. If it turns out I was wrong, then I’ve learned something and avoided a mistake, if it turns out I’m right, then at least now I know for sure that I really am right. It also helps to get into the habit of actually thinking about what I’m going to say, whether it’s actually right or not or just feels right without anything to back it up, and to be open to being wrong. I try to see the possibility of being wrong as a potential learning experience, which makes it less scary, and also makes it easier to not cling to the desire to be right all the time.

Chronic pain actually can cause similar symptoms to adhd lol

It may not be normal necessarily, but it’s completely understandable. You wanted a comfort while you were uncomfortable, and you were willing to work for that comfort.
