You know, it is really not that bad. We have a loft bed, which helps a great deal, we sleep separate (I take the futon, he the loft bed— it does not hurt our sex lives in the slightest), and we have laid out the room so that, while I can see him at his computer, I'd have to get up and walk ten steps to see what he's…

I like Pinterest for stimulating ideas (I live in a 250 square foot apartment and am a newlywed, so it helped give us apartment layout and wedding ideas), but I can't imagine feeling stressed about it. I mostly use it to say "Oh, I can do that?" or to get an idea of what I like design-wise.

It's not a matter of being burdensome, to me. It's the sheer gall of the entire medical industry to pretend 500%- 1000% markups are rational or sustainable. Fifty bucks isn't much, but if I get even a little sick, there are a lot more fifty buck charges heading my way. And if I go to the E.R., it's time for fifty…

So? It's fifty cents worth of pill.

Some of the diseases you can get from raw milk, are nasty. TB, was the HIV of 150 years ago— but also airborne. And now that it's increasingly drug resistant, there's a good chance it could reach that level of severity again. One idiot could kill himself, pass it on to a dozen other people, and possibly kill and…

I really do not care. If they get TB, which is now drug pretty resistant, they can accidentally kill other people who didn't choose to be in on their little adventure, and cripple dozens for months. Listeria outbreaks are also no joke.

Oh, bullshit. The fact that the only option is to be a very rigid definition of feminine is the issue. And the fact that it's pushed on girls at an age where they are very sensitive to being told there's a "right" way of doing things, and are likely to avoid play and learning activities they are told they are wrong…

Are we talking about the same Glamor Shots? That's not fashion. It's barely even photography.

I find this interesting, because workforce productivity is breaking records.

I'm probably larger than a D, but I've yet to find a company that goes above a DD. And then one company's DD is several sizes larger than another.

I'm a year younger, and maybe not. It depends on when/if he graduated college. If he graduated late or went into the military or just didn't graduate, he's probably in a bad way too. Plus a lot of the first layoffs were the new hires. It almost looks worse to have a year of experience and then a 18 month gap than…

I think they're calling us narcissistic because they fucked us over, and it seems less bad if we, like, deserved it by being so shitty. Yeah. That must be it.

I haven't seen a single piece of literature describing effective treatment for sadists or psychopaths. As far as I've seen, they just get better at manipulating the clinician. And psychopaths are absolutely able to produce a letter like this. The key is they LIE.

I've worked in the government and have never heard of anyone inside the government getting it either.

I have a disability. I had a government job with comp time in lieu of overtime. So I worked EVERY weekend in order to bank time for an inevitable 1-2 day a month flare up and monthly doc visit.

Talking about abuse being directly causative also ends up re-victimizing their own victims, who end up being treated like ticking time bombs. It's super isolating, because victims of abuse genuinely CAN'T trust some people to talk about their abuse to. Imagine being raped as a kid, only to be treated like a…

If there wasn't even a suicide attempt, it wasn't a suicide note. If it was written in 2004, it was written shortly after he got the last girl.

Honestly, it's a good instinct. This kind of shithead lies through his teeth to make his case, even over the most mundane of details. It's your early warning bullshit detector.

I think it's important to draw a distinction between mental illness and personality disorders. Most personality disorders aren't particularly responsive to current treatment (I think borderline is marginally responsive, and that's about it), and don't interfere with that person's ability to know what is right or…

He kept them for another 9 years after writing the note. So no, it's not really a hopeful thing.
