isn't that the shit that Trump smells like?

dumbfucks are using regex improperly.

they're using /.*(trans).*/ instead of /\s{1,}(trans)[- (sexual|[fe]*male)]*\s{1,}/

does jerking off while I'm supposed to be working count?

so instead of making a post about Europe you made another post about America?

that's because the narrative was important to their long-term goals and has not only ruined the months of setup, but also wasted the efforts.

he's a really lazy man and hates working.

ok guy, you're right. you're way better at being poor than I could ever be.

when someone threatens my way of life for their own gain, it's not just an attack on me but my family.

if someone is willing to use fear as a tool they better be ready to have it used against themselves. I understand that, and I hope they learned the same that day.

I work well with others and try my best to work with anyone, but I'll be damned to sit back and allow someone to walk all over me.

it used to be. my kids can be loud and I was constantly on edge. it became a problem when I started yelling at them. I realized I was starting to do to them what had happened to me.

After a year of trying I was finally able to get a Dr to prescribe some meds and it's been so much better. I'm not nearly as jumpy or quick to anger anymore.

feel like I can finally be a better dad than I had.

yeah sure. the costs stop after you buy it. not like you have to pay to run it or anything.

I think you underestimate how poor some families are.

my wife never understood how I could walk around our 100+ year old house without making a sound.

she brought it up one Christmas and my sister told her, "you know why that is, right? because dad was a light sleeper and would have beat our asses to death if he woke up."

it really put it in perspective for my wife hearing that from my sister and not just me.

I'm on meds now, and it makes the anxiety manageable.

👋 hello trauma sibling

I would come home from school and watch TV or play around online until dad got home.

one day he came home after I was online and ripped the phone cable out of the wall and whipped me with it until I was bleeding. why? because he tried to call home and ask if I wanted anything for dinner. I got the whipping for dinner.

I was 12.

from ages 13-19 I had elaborate plans of how I would kill him and get away with it. every time he would scream at me, every time he would beat me, I would imagine what it would feel like to cut off his arms and legs while he was alive.

at 20 I left home. I'm much better now and don't have such dark thoughts anymore.

he told me years later that he was afraid of me because of the blank look I gave him. I told him he had every reason to be afraid with the same dead eyes and left it at that.

I learned so many life skills during that time in my life, and honestly can say in an emergency scenario I have no barriers to killing someone. I also do well in emergencies and keep a level head because of the years of physical and mental trauma.

interestingly enough I've used my "stare" at work in an office environment when a manager was threatening my job based on interoffice politics. I looked him dead in the eyes and told him I don't play games like him. If I want something done, I'll do it myself. Then casually asked him what kind of milage he gets on his car. Dude was spooked and left me alone lol.

my point is, trauma can be a strength that can be drawn from like a well if you're in need of it.

oddly enough rapists have rules and boundaries they follow.

it's what makes them so dangerous.

trolls are out in droves today!

did I say he was "not the representative" or he was "not the US"?

somebody needs to work on reading comprehension. I can forgive it though assuming Russian is your primary language.

Thinking it can, demonstrates a lack of intelligence.

ftfy

But sure, go ahead and check the price of tinting every window(about $20 per window) or getting blackout curtains(~$20 per panel in my experience) or any of the myriad of lesser solutions.

tin foil and painters tape $1.50 per window.

Unless you want to advise them to replace all the insulation/windows/seals in their house.

winter blankets and old shirts.

couple with a window fan and a swamp cooler can reduce internal temps 10-15°.

poor af growing up. that's what we did. bonus points if you're in a trailer. you can open both ends and have fans blowing from one end to the other.

corn hole or not to corn hole, that is the question.

thanks, you reminded me to buy anal douche.

happens to human babies too. pretty common actually.
