I 100% support a chemical existence to block awareness of how shitty the world is. It can be difficult to find the right balance between chemicals and real-life, but it can be done. Not Elon-levels of k-holes on the regular, but occasional drugs and regular alcohol can compliment a successful life.
Plus mushroom trips on major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Xmas.
Oh my gosh it’s true.
I had one lone male and got him a friend around age 3. The new kitty wanted to be friends, but he wouldn’t accept him until we moved to a new apartment and neither of them had a claim on the territory. Then they started sleeping together.
Later, I adopted two kittens and at age 1.5 one of them got sick and died, basically like cancer but not actually cancer the vet told me. I got another kitten soon after because the survivor was in crisis and was very needy, she knew what had happened. It took some time for her to accept the kitten, but then she basically raised her. They sleep together and chase and play, but also occasionally squabble the way siblings might.
I don’t know what more to suggest. These are the experiences I’ve had. I hope you’re able to glean something useful from them. Ask your vet for tips, too.
I identify with so much of this. First off, I, first half forties, also did the Genius Bar to software development track. Good on ya. Leveling up your skills while working that demanding job says a lot.
There are multiple things I’d suggest. First, since you’ve invested a lot of time in the relationship, just approach him honestly and directly and let him know that these trends annoy you. Let him know that it’s disrespectful and ask him if to take your time into consideration. If he gets offended or objects, fuck him.
Next, I also have a tendency to hate life (even though I’ve got a good one, it’s more like I hate the world and our trajectory) and think about wishing I wasn’t alive. Same thing. Don’t want to die. Just don’t want to be here. Think about getting into therapy. I’m a huge advocate for talk therapy as it enabled me to radically change the course of my life. I was emotionally underdeveloped, diagnosed bi-polar, and hated myself. I reached the point of loving myself in 2019. It was a huge accomplishment.
Further, plan on seeing more than one therapist before finding the right one. I’ve had to meet at least one dud before finding a good fit each time (decades of therapy, moved to a different part of the country, one retired after a lot of years, so four duds and three good fits). Don’t give up because the chemistry isn’t a good match. Try again.
Finally, some of the friends that I’ve made came from online apps. One is someone I went on a date with and we liked each other but had no romantic chemistry. This person is now one of my closest friends and she and her partner do stuff with me and my partner today. You can use the apps in a just-looking-for-friends mode. Just let your partner know ahead of installing them (you said you were offered food and I’m guessing your software dev job means no roommate).
Good luck!
I know how hard it is to face past mistakes because that is what I am doing now, by fighting for Mr. Myers’ life. I am not one to put myself in public spaces, but I am a Christian and I have known for some time that this is what I must do, even though it is hard.
It’s refreshing to see a christian advocating for something positive. In a world where they frequently weaponize their faith to hurt people, it’s a breath of fresh air.
Republicans are attempting to overturn North Carolina Supreme Court GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin’s loss to Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs in November. They filed a lawsuit Dec. 31 seeking to toss 60,000 ballots in the 2024 election from voters with allegedly “incomplete” registration information.
If we can’t win fairly, just disenfranchise voters until it doesn’t matter.
Thanks for that. My laughter was barely maintained.
God, he looks old. Ronnie was a youngish guy when I was a kid. What happened?
Oh, he ate at McDonald’s every day since then? I see.
No. I ended my relationship with my mother for voting for him a second time. She saw the harm he caused. She knew the harm he would cause to people I love. She is willfully blind to his faults. I can’t tolerate that anymore. Neither should you. Cut the cancer out and don’t look back.
Fetterman posted an opening for a new communications director on Wednesday.
Hire me. I’ll gladly issue press releases saying this brain-damaged moron wants to felate Bibi and doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else.
Why would we hold police accountable for beating the shit out of people and other crimes? They earned a shield and that shield means the law doesn’t apply to them. It’s the best reason to be a cop.
If you can’t tell that this is sarcasm, you don’t belong on the internet.
You’re not aloud to post such cuteness before 5am! (Pst)
Has the, “I know you love me,” face.
Let’s hurt children. It’s great!
Ffs
The IDF is similarly respectful right? Right?!
Hey, are you a zionist? Eat my ass.
Investors understand that he’s going to do everything he can to transfer wealth to the top. That makes it safe to invest more because more will be coming in. That’s my casual guestimate.
It really isn’t. Beer.
I ordered a trans flag last week; should arrive any day now. Going in the window with my Bernie 2020 placard and my UPS union efforts placard. Maybe I’ll order a print of Luigi.
