I really appreciate it. All will always be well, in the end. It just can get rough sometimes, but storms pass one way or another. Thank you though

I am doing ok, and thank you. I try my best to take care of myself and have gotten much better at identifying/modifying maladaptive coping methods. It’s always a work in progress lol

I’ve worked around a lot of death as an ICU nurse, which I think has helped me with a little insight into “how to process”. You’re never ready when it’s someone you love and especially when it’s sudden, but seeing other people go through it regularly can give you a different view sometimes, I believe. But thank you again friend

No, everyone was pretty much spread out across three different US states. Just unfortunate happenstance (and timing, really)

Cocaine laced with fentanyl. OD’d in the bathtub. Wasn’t even (remotely) a regular user; just having a little extra fun on New Years. Was about to finalize the adoption of his and his wife’s baby girl too

Another one from alcohol, fell asleep in the bath

Another one from an undiagnosed heart condition

Another from a peritoneal infection from peritoneal dialysis (they had sickle cell)

My sister from benzos and falling asleep in the bath

All of them in their 30’s. Been a difficult few years of losing friends/family for me, ngl

I don’t much care of what is said, when it is just. I’m more concerned with those who claim to know the difference

“forcing him to hire immigrants to have sex with his wife couch” FTFY

Retunal… and I FINALLY just recently beat it

I’ve been playing it off and on for about two years now, and it was so satisfying to finally finish the main story

Possibly. I’ve eaten fried-brim-tail and it was pretty much like a seafood potato chip (just be careful of tiny bones). I could see getting down with some crunchy shrimp tails. Maybe my body is just craving some fiber (and/or fiber-like) sustenance, but I can see the merit. Hell, if it’s edible and tasty, then I’m 'bout it. Maybe it’s a texture thing?

Seat #7

I could probably find some kind of entertainment-value by talking to Hulk Hogan about “wrestling” or his career. The turtle will probably just sleep, or remain frozen in a transient-stroke-like state. Seems like the easiest.

In reality, it wouldn’t really matter which seat I chose. I always go right tf to sleep on planes; because no, I don’t want to talk with you, stranger

Though… maybe not next to Vance. I don’t want him getting any weird ideas about my seat, if I were to get up to use the bathroom

Ritalin was the worst one for me; gave me headaches and was a little too “unstable” or “rough” for me. Elvanse, on the other hand, has been my favorite… smooth as butter. Thinking about switching now that they have a generic version that my insurance will probably cover

“Women are not just babysitters ffs”

Huh… I’m kinda surprised at how cohesive it came out to be

Who’s to say you’re not (I won’t, at the least)?

perfectionist mindset - as one is writing,

I think an “M-Dash (perfectionist mindest— as one is writing,)” would be more appropriate than an “N-Dash” in your statement. No ‘nested’ parentheses needed (unless you’re looking to add non-essential (though insightful) info to your sentence); but the type of… “PAUSE” makes all the difference

Amateur radio checking-in: the cables and adapters are just the beginning. There is no “box”—it’s simply “storage”

You just NEVER know!!

The further into your future you go, the more likely you’re gonna get fucked by that bold maneuver. May glob have mercy on your soul

You can use money from your 401k (stipulations vary) for a down payment on a first home, without the tax penalty (in America at least)

Incomprehension of fraction to decimal conversion is why 90% of people who say they are bad at math, say they are bad at math

I feel called out. I was in high-school Calculus (11th grade) before I “truly” understood fractions. Like, I honestly somehow managed to make it to Calculus without knowing how to add and subtract fractions without a calculator. Thought I was dumb in math until 9th grade algebra, and didn’t start becoming a bit of a math nerd until Calculus

Yeah, a second look at the men in the background in that one shows the usual AI fuckery. The other one’s pretty dang good, though in comparison

I was actually thinking the exact opposite. Interesting to me though, is that we both see the subtleties which makes it look like AI. I can’t point it out exactly (like too many fingers or something), but it’s like the contours of their faces are off? Or something uncanny, at the least. I feel like photoshop could do it better (though not nearly as fast)
