No advice unfortunately (my life is boring) but I’ve dealt with this in the past and it truly is bewildering how good people can keep such toxic company in their lives... I guess when you spend enough time around certain people you can make the mistake of dismissing their most grating/straight up awful behaviors as

Congratulations, you win the internet for tonight for being the only other person on the planet that actually likes Begotten.

Holy shit, I love every detail of this story but the UCB plug really takes the cake.

I know this is a suggestion that’s so convential it hurts me to even say it, but nothing helps to alleviate the sense of dread that world news leaves me with like watching a particularly dumb/silly comedy. For me the first thing that comes to mind is David Wain’s Wet Hot American Summer and the two Netflix series it

Oh, I am too familiar with this at the moment: My prior department lead has one of the most toxic personalities I’ve ever encountered. She is always in the most sour mood, and if you did anything but commiserate alongside her she would act as if your upbeat personality was the distraction and not her relentlessly 

Don’t give up on the Flames yet; that top 4 is really, really good and teams get shut out all the time. They’ll at least be interesting in their contention for a playoff spot.

I’m really happy that Wardo stepped up and asserted what most hockey fans are not willing to admit; just because hockey is one of the more culturally diverse sports does not mean that racism (and anti-LGBTQ sentiments for that matter) isn’t a huge issue in the sport’s culture. I was unimpressed with Okposo’s

OMG thank you so much for posting this, I would have never known they had just released this otherwise.

Agreed; he has the voice of an angel... Lucifer, that is to say!

Oh yes, so good. I miss that show so much, but thankfully a lot of the actors and writers are helping the next generation of comedians through the podcast networks Earwolf and Howl.fm, Paul F. Tompkins in particular has become so prolific that it borders on the absurd (and I love it!).

It seems like there is a Mr. Show sketch for almost everything, but this is particularly awesome because A) The Satanic Temple is seriously the best and B) This might be my favorite Mr. Show sketch next to the Dalai Lama one, thank you for posting it here!

I understand this mindset as well as anyone as I am currently dealing with a particularly irksome bout with clinical depression courtesy of my epilepsy medication, but I want to tell everyone in this thread that there is one very important reason to not give up on life: Regardless of our current lot in life, every

I’ve been listening to a podcast called Off-Book: Improvisers Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino spend a few minutes getting to know a comedian, then create a musical based on the story they tell. The results are highly amusing; I would particularly recommend the episode featuring Drew Tarver, AKA the musical Pillaging

No mention of the Golden Knights playing their first-ever preseason game at 5PM EST against Vancouver on NHL Network? I’m excited to watch their defensemen fight for those six roster spots, especially Shea Theodore who should be ready to break into the league at this point despite still being susceptible to being

Good idea that I’m going to act on any minute now (assuming someone hasn’t already, I felt an adrenaline junkie watching episodes 5-8 in essentially one sitting), thank you!

The best part of your example is that since I also do my banking at Wells Fargo I happen to know that they’re asking people to donate to the Red Cross specifically, which at this point has been shown to be less effective at helping the people who have been most impacted by Harvey/Irma when compared to giving directly

No advice to give, but welcome to the est coast: The Better of the Two Coasts! Tovah looks overwhelmed with joy in that picture, so you should take pride in being a good pet owner and start from there... Maybe take her to a local dog park and hope to make connections with other good/friendly people there?

I’m not in a position to give advice, but I just wanted to say that I think the fact that you’ve kept your composure in this situation and remained supportive of your husband is very admirable, especially when considering that you’re both struggling with mental illness. That level of grit and compassion towards

Lord knows it’s always a good idea to have a tight bod on deck for the night times, the foxy times...

No prior experience or advice, but I hope it works out for you! The idea of two people who care deeply for each other reconnecting while being in a better place mentally/emotionally does seem pretty romantic, even to this cold and withered heart :D
