I use Adblocker, turn off all access, as you said. I don’t use Facebook for conversations, other than the occasional message, and I never leave it open on my phone, if only because it drains the battery. I went to my ad preferences and they were mostly correct, but narrow — because I don’t go into all my personal shit…

And now my bf has to be completely naked before I can tie his tie.

Stuffing! And fresh cranberry sauce! I don’t need a turkey, but I’ll make loads of stuffing and have the cranberry sauce on the side.

It’s like we’re all shocked! shocked! that rich people have nicer things and the means to pay to protect them. “Offered to rich people only” just means the rest of us can’t afford it. They’re paying for insurance that includes private firefighters. They also have nicer homes, better food, better educations,…

Young men are arrogant. Big surprise.

Yep.

This is nonsense. Bananas vary according to how ripe they are. Cookies and candy bars are not all created equal. People need good information about nutrition, not dumbass charts like this.

Yeah, imagine some guy throwing trucks from his hotel room. That would be really dangerous.

It’s hard to pay attention to a few “foreign truck attacks” when there are mass shootings every day at home.

Bible-thumping, wife and child abusing military vet. It’s why he got the dishonorable discharge.

You know, I also think “more guns” is a bunch of crap, but two good guys, one with a gun, actually pursued the shooter and helped apprehend him. FWIW.

45?? Your plants are spoiled. Mine stay out until the night it’s going to drop below freezing. Then, when I bring them in, they appreciate me.

Yep. My friend was sober for years at a time and would relapse occasionally when under stress. Not for very long, usually, but it happened quite a few times.

I agree. The thing that’s hard to realize is that there’s no way to be with an alcoholic or addict without enabling them. Just the fact that you’re not fucking up enables them to fuck up, you’re paying the rent, keeping the place reasonably clean, etc. Pissy also needs to realize that there is no sober…

But if you don’t really like them...? They probably know that. And the meetup, at least you had 8 people. Can’t the 8 people hang out together? Screw the others who left.

Tell the gaslighting fuck to buy his own damn toys. An ex of mine used my (expensive) moisturizer, the cheap bastard.

A paint ball gun and a pellet gun? This guy sounds like a complete idiot playing terrorist. Unfortunate that he was able to rent a truck.

I was pretty ill for awhile, not cancer, and it really helped me whittle my friends list down. There are people who will come help without being asked. There are people who will come if you ask them, but they’ll be great. There are people who will come if you ask, but they’ll be resentful, gossipy and secretly happy…

I hate crumbs in bed.

These are very like displaced paternal feelings.
