Friends and family will either listen to a point before saying they can't handle it, or some of them I wouldn't bring these problems to in the first place. When I do talk, I get tired of my response being the thing they focus on instead of the source causing my frustration. I've attempted therapy for years with varying success; after some bad experiences I can't trust therapists anymore. All anyone cares about is if my emotions are impacting them in a negative way, nobody actually gives a shit about how I am doing as long as they aren't directly inconvenienced.

clearly a bedpan is the logical solution.

The shape of the magazine makes the bullets go further because they're already aligned with the Earth's curvature.

new fear unlocked

As if the processed food industry doesn't already lobby Congress spendinf millions annually.

Only the good die young.

FWIW I feel the same way about people putting A1 on their steak.

They see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Switched to these after years of boxers and a stint with regular briefs. Duluth is my brand of choice but regardless the separation/support is a complete game changer.

This is it for me. There are a lot of things that aren't awesome about owning and maintaining a house, but not dealing with a smug, PITA landlord every month is absolutely worth it to me.

I confidently confused a CRM with CMS, and then spent the next four months on my new job frantically working to understand how a CRM works. Lol I figured it out, mainly because nobody before me had taken the time to do so.

"no" is a complete sentence btw.

por que no los dos

That's the thing about abusive relationships, when you're in them long enough you're often manipulated to the point where the abuser makes you think your actions are the problem. Making me question reality, and myself was her modus operandi. Looking back yeah, there were plenty of red flags, but I also had such a low opinion of myself I accepted the kind of relationship I felt I deserved, until she pushed me past my breaking point. Having a kid also complicated matters; seemed like that was a major turning point in her narcissistic abusive descent. Then you sprinkle on a little sunk cost fallacy and you've got a recipe for disaster.

I'll spare the details and just give you the highlights:

• She put me through years of domestic abuse, gaslighting and manipulation
• She had zero regard for our family's financial future and nearly pushed us to the brink of bankruptcy
• She walked out on me and our son to become a literal crack whore

Heed my words, dudes: if you must have a joint checking account, have your direct deposit go to an account only in your name. I didn't and she cleaned me out to buy crack.

Got married. 0/10 would not recommend.

While this is not incorrect, it needs to be stated for the record that Dave Ramsey is a fucking tool.

Given the current state of sequels, prequels and reboots, this makes sense.
