Yeah I had sex in parks, random construction sites, parking lots, etc. It was really stupid but I cared more about getting laid than not getting arrested. Parents think by having open door policies or whatever it will stop it from happening but at best it delays the inevitable. A better course would be educating them to know the risks and how to be safe.

Even if you’re not comfortable with it. Do you want it to happen in the safety of your home or in a hopefully empty parking lot behind a building somewhere? Teenagers who want to fuck each other will find a way to do it.

If it came from stealing actual artists’ work then I hate it. If they somehow generated it using all fairly sourced data then I don’t care. Still would prefer an actual artists work and I’d certainly never knowingly pay for something generated by AI.

I wait til I’m sleepy which is usually around 10ish. If it’s the weekend I push through that and squeeze out as much free time as possible but I wouldn’t say it feels good usually around 1-2 am I actually feel pretty shitty to the point I have a hard time getting to sleep.

I have a friend that does this for me. I don’t pay them but it does work surprisingly well. I’m grateful that they’re understanding about my social anxiety issues and allow me to reject some of their invites without cutting me out in the future.

I’m not a psychologist or whatever to say how long but the dad should get as much leave as the mother does to help deal with all the new baby shit and bond with the child.

You should take all the time you can get. Fuck other people’s expectations.

Our IT sent out a test once that was a fake “someone sent you this document on teams” link and I fell for it assuming it was another stupid microsoft workflow for sharing documents. The only reason I didn’t actually hit the log in part that would have got me reported was because I didn’t care enough about whatever it was that was supposedly sent to me.

Be the alibi while he does crime. Duh.

Nothing I’m good at pays.

I do but I’m not sure what to do about it. My parents had a birthday party for my brother yesterday and told me to be there at 11. No one else showed up til 3 so I ended up cutting my workout short to make it on time and then wasting 4 hours watching cable news with them. I was really fucking POed all night and no one could understand why. I only have 2 days off a week and you just wasted one of them assholes.

Maybe you could apply different tapes or something to the keys to tell them apart.

Fight back where? How? What am I supposed to be doing right now?

At this point I’m struggling to find how staying informed even helps. The news is a constant deluge of horrible shit I can’t do anything about. I voted, I’ve already braced myself financially for what’s coming as best as I can but I suspect it won’t be enough, no one in power is doing a fucking thing to help.

Couldn’t you cut the handles down to be suitable for you?

For me it was accessing media on my file server. I ended up having to buy an app and it still sucked. Someone told me apple products let you do that now though so maybe it’s not an issue anymore.

What I’m saying is they sold their good old house and had a new house built that is incredibly shitty for what they paid. It’s just a straight downgrade in almost every way in workmanship, materials, layout, and neighborhood. Inheriting from them is also probably the only way I’m ever going to own a home so it really frustrates me that they did that. Living with them or not won’t make a difference.

I haven’t been hyped for anything since Godzilla Minus One came out (which more than lived up to my expectations). I do have to live with my parents buying into the hype of owning a new home. So I’ll be stuck inheriting a pile of shit that’s going to be falling apart by then instead of their old house that was rock solid.

Yeah, there’s days I can’t even listen to podcasts or the radio with people I actually like hearing because I’m so sick of listening to people talk. No fucking way I’d be interested in listening to randos and I hate talking.
