Yahoo. It was from 07

It's not incredibly important as long as we agree on the big life stuff.

A previous partner of mine wasn't the sharpest egg in the attic but we got along stellar with the exception that we disagreed on some big choices.

Edit: bulb -> egg because I am a dummy lol

I've been feeling this way a lot myself lately. I sympathize, it's putting me in a bad way too

Here's a break down of my last healthcare stuff.

Weekly insurance out of paycheck: $127

Psychiatrist (ADHD) $150ish a visit, meds are ~$98

Last PCP visit (included some general blood tests) $217 (mostly lab which wasn't covered)

Last ER visit: $792, waited over 10 hrs told to take an Advil and go home. Turns out I tore some of the sack (for lack of a better word) around my organs from weightlifting. it was thought a suspect gall bladder issue. I learned this from not the hospital.

And my appendix removal ended up costing me just over $9,000.

This is all what I paid out of pocket, the actual numbers for gross was, well, gross. I don't need medical aid too often but it ends up pricey if I do.

Hatchet was great! Still a favorite to this day! Sort of, MC was in a plane crash and has to do survival stuff and basically learn it all ad-libbed.

I had to read a book about rape in school called "Speak" it was pretty messed up and I don't think it had all that good an ending either

I usually will say something along the lines of "look it up" or "I can look it up"

I suppose I can awkward and as much as I have been trying I believe the way I talk is taken not as I intend. A good friend recently said I "talk directly but that's just how I am". Though I'm not sure how I speak differently than others.

I'm not much a touchy person outside of relationships so that could also seem less friendly too. I will say that I avidly go out of my way to not be in charge, I dislike the attention it puts on me.

I appreciate the insight though. It probably is a culmination of those factors and possibly some more too. I still find it hard to think of myself that way knowing what goes on internally haha, often I struggle just dealing with cashiers

I was told "No, you're intimidating". I forget exactly how it became the topic. It was an ex who said it and it was supposed to be a compliment in context. I still don't understand it especially compared to the friend whom I was with.

I am not tall, not heavy, not particularly muscular (especially at that time) and have soft features. My friend is a head taller, twice my size, built heftier/stockier and had sharper features. He is a big ol hairy Aussie. Awesome guy, no idea how I'd be more intimidating than him though

The clothes I'm wearing, wallet, phone (sometimes a second), and usually keys as well. Depending on outdoors or not, sunglasses.

Unless I'm doing something specifically the would require more, that's about it.

I wish websites were still laid out like this

Edit: For clarity, my friends and I have some wild humor, I received a similar one in response lmao

Now do the same thing with 2" please, I need it for....reasons

That entirely depends on YOU

All I can say is I'm not a bad person (I'd like to think)

Come Qbit torrent and vibe (it's commercial free)

I'm the Yes, I'm the Scatman, and if I can do it so can you

"That fit shreds" = that's an awesome outfit

Synonyms for Fit: outfit, drip, gear, cloth(es), getup

Synonyms for shreds: killer, swag, gnarly, rad, sick, dank, cool, fire (🔥),

Your drip is fire

Your outfit is cool

Your gear is rad

Your clothes are sick

Your getup is dank

Your cloth is killer

All pretty equivalent statements which you may relate to more based on era of terminology you grew up with.

(This is from my brain dictionary, real life experiences may be different)

Edit: Proper spacing to avoid aneurysm

Consistent small choices that aim towards that goal.

I can't say I've had too many goals ultimately. But a house, for example, is/was one of them. Every small choice to spend or not spend money was important over years. Moving to cheaper rent each year, modifying my diet to eat cheaper and cook more. Doing activities and hobbies that were free or pretty cheap. Lots and lots of small choices build up.

It's worth noting that I'm under contract to purchase a property now. Hopefully the small choices all were for something, fingers crossed

This is why I have a degoogled phone and a googled phone. I carry them both around with me but any bank app, or other data harvesting app or necessity goes through that phone,so I may keep the majority of my stuff clean and free (as much as I can within my capabilities)

I find some of the most frustrating and angry times I have is when I don't have a physical outlet. I need physical catharsis. Usually it's weightlifting, a few times I've run until I drop. Ultimately I feel like a lot of it stems from society not fully being there with letting men be equally as emotional or emotionally open as women. This means the solution most find if they can't express themselves that way, they do in a physical way.

This is just a personal take based on personal circumstances and lived experiences.
