I’ve called them several times to get a report for car break in or vandalism. Once i got a check from a victim fund for my broken window and missing stuff. Called them because someone in a scream mask was banging on my front door at 3am.
The only time I’ve ever really felt suicidal was when I was on antidepressants. Then it was more just feeling insignificant, like one of a bajillion people on the Earth and if I die that’s just part of the natural turnover. I’m impulsive and quick to anger, so I know that I can’t own a gun. I have a lot of thoughts of destruction that i try to keep in check - holding a stack of plates at a friend’s house and want to drop them, what if I put my wedding ring in the garbage disposal, If there’s a car stopped on a bridge and I hit it will it go over, I’m afraid of heights because I want to push. When I was a kid, the thing I first noticed was sometimes wishing for bad things to happen- and that’s what I now think of as self-sabotage. Is it worse to have a car accident or go to work? If I get a letter from the IRS, am I more excited if it’s a check or a bill? Either way, if I throw it away, will they send another?
Short bursts of great stuff are better than long periods of shitty stuff.
If an annual pass to a museum is $100, i would spend two day’s dollars buying 3-day passes to lots of different museums for a friend and me. Do we auto transport to the city? Or does the museum just appear at my house?
On the other days i would take a couple of laps around a track in some cool cars, have sips of some very expensive whiskey, and ride short sections of trains around the world.
During the week i would search the internet to find great $1 specials at bars all over the world and on weekends i would slowly have a beer on a beach in Mexico, vermouth in Barcelona, coffee in Modena, a mojito in havana, …
I think my dad’s family got cheese. I assumed it was because they were native American. I don’t remember ever trying it - i just saw a couple of big blocks that said CHEESE on a shelf.
My son is vegan and he makes fun of himself - If you vape, you’re vegan, and you’re in a band; which one do you talk about first? Was funnier a few years ago when people carried around those giant vapes. We harassed him a lot for saying, “i can’t eat that” - well, yes you can, but you choose not to- so, now he’ll say he prefers to avoid animal products. If people ask, be honest and answer succinctly - I’m trying it to see if it makes me feel better, or whatever. The hate isn’t from choosing your own food. It’s from the endless conversations and superior, more informed attitude about it - same as anyone who makes one thing their identity - politics, religion, etc.
I have the same, plus a watch plan, two home internets, apple tv, netflix, and i just realized that we were paying insurance on 4 phones (that i need to cancel to save$60!) for $374/mo.
Never went to the doc for it. It’s just the stuff that rolls around in my head.
Happy birthday! Every decade i think, “this is the best!” Embrace being young enough to still do most of the things you enjoy and being old enough to (sometimes) know which ones to skip. https://youtu.be/NJf5DMVa5kQ
I mentioned that i had concerns about myself when i was about 12. It wasn’t dismissed, but it was clear that attempting to address it at that time would be too difficult. I keep it put away as much as i can, only mentioning the intrusive thoughts when i can play it as a joke - not sure if that feels better or worse. After 40 years, I’m finally beginning to recognize the tendency towards self sabotage but still struggle with not giving in to it.
I’m hoping santa puts 36 piers under my house.
Last time i checked he was at 50.00% of total votes.
ETA- yeah, AP shows him at 50; her at 48.4.
You should add that to the Low Quality Facts community.
Think Canada might be willing to help pay for that one.
By humanity, do you mean with hand-to- hand combat? I’m not sure when that ended, but i would expect it to be around that time.
I worry that they’ll just open a can of worms and fuck up our farm bill access.
We’re going out of town so our DIL doesn’t have to make up an excuse for not spending it with her fam.
My mom would be devastated to see that they let the orange fucker do it again.
It does depend on the person and their regular scent. I hate the stupid commercials, but i love my husband’s Sauvage and Acqua di Gio.
Maybe he’s trying a non-antiperspirant deodorant? There are several brands and some work better than others. You could start start that discussion with him?
