I had liability-only insurance but with a clause including 100% coverage specifically for windshield replacement. I’m not sure why. I used it twice (once per vehicle) over the years and my rates didn’t go up as far as I could tell.
One time I locked my keys inside my truck and then I decided it was a good time to get the crack in my windshield fixed. It really did have a crack, but I also didn’t have to pay to have the truck unlocked.
If I wanted to be constrained by flesh and bone then I’d be looking at 3D porn.
I think even this sort of compliment will be creepy to many (perhaps most) women. Am I wrong?
I can’t officially diagnose her with BPD but ramping up emotions constantly was her thing.
I wonder how much overlap there is between people who think it’s wrong to oppose the construction of low-income housing nearby and people who live near low-income housing.
A shameful day to be an American.
No need to be sorry for me - I think my story is of the “learning what really matters” sort and my family is much more important to me than where I live is.
Nah he ran off with mine and the two of them are happy together.
I divorced her after six months of marriage a long time ago. I’m embarrassed by that, but my mistake was in marrying her, not in ending the marriage so quickly. I’m proud that I had the courage to leave.
I do wonder if there was anything I should have done differently which would have made the marriage work, but I’m more confident about my decision to leave after a more recent ex of hers found me so that he could tell me that she was a “horrible psychopath” who ruined his life. Apparently he knew my name because she told him how bad I had been to her, and after their breakup he suspected that she had been lying.
As for right now: I’m single but it’s 100% true that being single is better than being in a bad relationship.
Relationship tests are toxic.
Hah. The woman I was briefly married to really wanted me to be jealous, but I didn’t realize that at the time. I was just happy for her whenever she told be about her great friends who happened to be men.
This culminated when she told me it wasn’t fair that I had had other sexual partners in my life but she had not. I replied that if she was asking me for an open relationship and it was really important to her, then it would be something we could discuss. That was not what she wanted to hear.
She was not a nice person (to put it mildly) so I don’t regret being so clueless.
When I visited India, there were people who spoke English to me with such a strong accent that I didn’t even realize that they were speaking English. Bias against people speaking with an Indian accent is real, but so is the need to facilitate communication.
I want to live in the woods in New Hampshire again some day. It’s a beautiful place and also a place where the state and local governments don’t make me grind my teeth in frustration all the time*. I would have a house, a lot of land, and no neighbors except for pine trees.
I had most of that already and I left, because I was very lonely - I think I talked to another person face to face about once every few weeks. I thought I would be OK with that because I was used to being alone, but having no family, no friends, and a 100% remote job was too much for me. Apparently even I start going crazy if I am that isolated. Now I live somewhere I really don’t like (New York City) but I’m close to my family.
*New Hampshire is a rather libertarian state. Taxes are low but the town where I lived (population 15,000) didn’t provide water, sewers, or garbage collection. Many things are legal that aren’t legal in most other places. For example, you can drive without insurance, set off fireworks, and do almost anything with a gun except shoot another person. The state motto is “Live free or die,” and I would tell my guests that as long as they did one or the other, the state’s duty to them would be satisfied.
I want a version of that appropriate/inappropriate meme but with the guys coughing up blood and both pictures labeled “inappropriate”.
I’d move a counter from another target permanent I control onto her…
I will never get those hours slogging through Toms chapters back
And they’re so near the start of the book too, before anything really interesting happens. I nearly stopped reading there. (I didn’t stop only because I had enjoyed The Hobbit so much.)
I think that after Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard a strong argument can be made that the law should not distinguish between a policy designed to favor a minority group and a policy designed to favor the majority group, even if that policy does not take race into account directly.
No, he was even bigger and he has been shrinking.
You can still get the experience when someone else commits murder, but only if you do at least one damage to the victim first.
5.5 hours a day is easy when you have a job if you don’t have anything else going on. I have much more time for games as an adult than I did when I was a kid.
