I’ve lost several male friends to PTSD/suicide. I have not lost one lady friend. That is most likely due to military and war zone involvement being more heavily dominated by men than women. I have access to a private network of people that worked on a specific contract overseas and it seems nearly every month, the…

Did people really take this seriously? lol

Didn’t you just kinda prove his point by acknowledging how shitty it is to be grouped and othered? I am a firm believer in people acknowledging benefits and things like that-especially ones granted without thought. But tearing everyone else down seems a bit counter intuitive. Especially when they seem to ask honest…

Whenever I worked shift I never slept properly. I was always awake at ungodly hours-I mean, I am normally as my day starts at 4am. But forget sleeping when the sun and noises of the day interfere.

I adore you but NO UGGS! Ever! lol.

WTF... in no way is that ok.

Shameless!

Hey all!

Some people really seem to have been raised by wolves. I had a roommate that would come back from work, sleep all afternoon, then decide around 11pm she wanted to like... deep clean her room, bathroom, etc. I am trying to sleep as I am awake at 430 and she would try to innocently say “Oh, are you sleeping?” as she’s…

While I agree with your sentiment, it’s quite possible he was facing the possibility of not being able to let her ‘go’. I don’t think this is any possible feat that scientists will overcome in my life, but imagine your child was dead but there’s a kernel in your brain telling you she’s not *really* dead.

It also undermines what makes life so special-that it is fleeting, unpredictable, harsh and beautiful all at once. While I think at 14 she did not get the luxury of experiencing so much, stuff like this gives me the willies.

This is good Kinja and you should be proud.

I have never had to point my weapon at anyone and I do not want to. Anyone who talks otherwise is just being a loudmouth.

I learned a long time ago that my ability to attract means nothing if I cannot keep. I walk a delicate balance of a bit of interest without ever giving in to like 99.87% of the dudes that are trying.

I agree, I don’t think I said otherwise.

This gif is awesome. And the power I feel only comes from monetary advantage. I have some very well-connected friends, and have been graced with the privilege of interacting both professionally and personally with some pretty incredible people-from all walks of life.

Depression almost killed me (like so many others). It is a rough and unyielding beast.

Power. They wield a shit ton of power.

I mean, how much revenue do their appearances make for the public and other things?
