Thank you, this is very helpful advice.

And people act so affected when I tell them, like knowing I was abused hurts them more than being abused hurts me.

I was sexually abused as a child. I lied about it even to sympathetic seeming people as a knee jerk and self preservation reaction. Even when I could admit some of the abuse, I would lie, deny, and hide the rest. Because people act different, look different, treat you different when you disclose. It makes you feel

because there is plenty of evidence to corroborate their stories. And we know for a fact that Michael slept with young boys, he admitted it on National TV. The giant hush payments as well

Not every department uses all of their vehicles in the same manner.

This is CotD-level shit right here

Speaking of baby showers... About two weeks ago I went out to dinner with my mom, and asked her if she would hold a baby shower for me. She said no, resulting in LOTS of tears and hurt feelings on my part (eventually she was better able to articulate why and now I completely understand and am not hurt at all). After

I think we have a winner.

When I was 15 I was at my aunt’s baby shower and an old woman in the buffet line told me I was next.

The time a certain relative got so upset about a younger sibling getting pregnant first that she decided to get pregnant as well. During the shower.

My brother is a LEO with a take home car.  If its more than routine maintenance they send it to the dealer now, things are just too complicated.

Go back to Facebook, Grandma.

Or you could go read The Atlantic article and realize that no one has to be “proven guilty” for others to decide not to associate with them.

OK, but understand that the distance between cars is your reaction time in the event of an emergency, and if you’re tailgating me then I need to increase the distance between my car and the car in front of me in order to compensate for your lack of reaction time because I don’t want your car up my ass. I’m going to be

One of my co-workers was talking about this (excessively modifying menu items), and I suggested she just order something else that she actually likes.

This is the type of jackass that can never order anything at a fast-food drive through without having EVERYTHING specially made and repeated back to them 4 times to make sure it’s correct.  Don’t get me wrong,  I’m all for adding bacon or removing pickles.  But why the F*** do you need to order the fries with no salt,

This opens up a lot of interesting arguments—the first being whether or not you should spend five-grand on a non-M Z3 of any ilk. At that price you’re a couple grand away from a serviceable Boxster which is a better car in almost every way. The “spend just a little more” strategy can sometimes spin out of conrol if

“I just thought why tf would you have kids with a guy you wouldn’t trust with them?? I’m sure there are many other women who have the same feelings”

Changing diapers really isn’t very difficult. It took me two or three times to really get it after my daughter was born, but it’s fairly straightforward stuff.

The sad thing is I have a (smart & important!) friend (who is still working full time!) who (important to note, this was before she actually had kids, but had the husband) said she wouldn’t trust her husband alone with the kids before they hit a certain age. I just thought why tf would you have kids with a guy you
