I literally haven’t dated anyone yet because I was afraid of his reaction (I’m also financially dependent on him) and then he just casually drops this bomb while we’re having an unrelated fight. That he has known I’m gay for years. It’s important to note that during these years he has trash talked gay people. But now while he was telling me this he was very calm. So I ask him if he’s angry or hates me or whatever, and he says I don’t like it but you’re my son what else am I supposed to do? If you killed someone I’d have to cover up for you even though I don’t condone murder, if I had to kill someone to protect you I’d have to do it even though I wouldn’t want to. So “it is what it is”. I just can’t believe his cognitive dissonance.

For my birthday, my spouse got me a nicer newer expensive version of a thing I already have. The one I have is older and dented but works just fine. I use it weekly. I never complain about it. I’ve never asked for a newer one. The one I have was given to me by my mother in law, whom I adore. It’s sentimental.
I don’t like new things. When they got me a 3d printer, it was the cheapest one and it was a kit and I had to build myself. I loved it. It’s perfect for me. I regularly buy things used or get things from Buy Nothing groups. I much prefer to repair old things in many ways. My car has over 100k miles. The one before did too. I don’t like new things.
We got into a huge argument because I want to return it. They are so upset with me that they left the house to calm down. Why am I the bad person? Why are they mad at me? I have a very clear tendency for old broken used things. Why am I obligated to like this new thing?
We literally established a rule early in our marriage.…

See title. I’ve been to quite a few local language meetups and saw lots of people IRL who are learning languages: wondering how are y’all doing too

For myself… learning French due to necessity. I am making progress, just veeery slow. I underestimated how difficult it would be (a lot of vocabs between English/French are similar… but the languages themselves are not!)

I’ve been paying digitally for a long while and never felt the need for a leather wallet in my pocket. I usually roll up a 10 to 20 dollars in my fob pocket just in case and i usually just forget about it.
Am i the only strange one here

Think about it. He was trying to get rid of these Jews who today are commiting genocide against. Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Qatar.

They are in control of the United States government and are ruining of course America. And they are just evil overall. Seriously evil country if you’ve been.

Maybe Hitler was evil but he should have been stopped after he achieved one of his goals.

Braggadociosness and bravado encouraged

The most emotionally valuable things you own.

Why is this not in the news!?

What’s their name?

Flavor does not matter, presentation does not matter but the food shouldn’t make you sick, and should ideally have enough calories for the average person to survive (2000 kcal min).

Basically the title, you need to use the skills you have now and be a productive member of society.

I don’t mean go back and show the wheel or try invent germ theory etc.

For example I’m a mechanic i think I could go back to the late 1800s and still fix and repair engines and steam engines.

Maybe even take that knowledge further back and work on the first industrial machines in the late 1700s but that’s about it.

I was running through some old Portal 2 quotes in my head and realized that it Cave Johnson were a real person, people would absolutely hate him.

When I (23M) was growing up, my parents hated whenever I locked my door for privacy. Like most adolescent boys, I had a libido and things that I liked to look at when I was taking care of that.
When I was 15, my dad would lean against my door every day to listen in. One day, he heard I was in the middle of it, and as quickly as possible, he picked the lock of my door and caught a glimpse of me watching some pretty crude and wacky rule 34 that was sorta ambiguously gendered. He immediately closed the door and retreated to his room. When I cleaned up and asked why he “knocked,” he said “nothing” with an unsettling smile.
7 years later, when I came out as passionately heterosexual because I finally figured out what my type was, he became very angry and told me I was REALLY a [f-slur], and he could prove it by revealing what he caught me watching all those years ago.…
