Happy Holidays Everyone
  • If you aren't spending time around people that complain about it, that makes sense. My mom is normally pretty quiet while my dad yells about whatever political issue, but this is one topic she gets vocally upset about as we're celebrating Christmas together literally every year. It's wild

  • Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games
  • I got the package deal with all of them over the summer and loved origins 😅 been working my way through them all to get ready for the new one. I was thinking I'd go this route of getting it and returning if I saw ads, but based on comments about the company having rape apologists I might need to do some more research before even bothering to take that risk

  • I can already hear the first replies
  • I asked my parents to get me evaluated as a kid and my mom said it wasn't real. At 32, I got evaluated and was diagnosed. Told my dad today and he's like "no shit? You got it from me" Well thanks for sticking up for me as a kid, dad lol

  • Always wondered how they feel
  • Yeah, and that something can be communicated. But at the end of the day it's their job. I follow a therapist on YouTube that talks about his wife's modeling career on occasion and he never really cared. He saw the work that goes into it and knows it's just that - work. I think on the rare occasions it did bring up some feelings of jealousy he communicated the insecurity and got reassurance from her. That obviously worked well enough that they've been married a couple decades.

    On the work end, keep in mind how many times they have to shoot scenes/photos and how extremely unromantic/inauthentic it is.

  • For anyone struggling here in the US, I highly recommend looking into alcoholics/narcotics anonymous or SMART recovery (a secular version of AA/NA). They're free! I know it's not for everyone, but just want to put it out there in case there's people unaware. You're not alone, and it can help to have the community 💜

    I've considered checking into rehab recently or just a mental health institution, but the idea of the cost is enough to keep me pushing through without. I have experience with SMART recovery, though, if anyone has questions. They use evidence based tools with most of it available for free online. The workbook is like $10. It has made a difference, but it can feel overwhelming and takes time.

    Much love to everyone. Take care of yourselves 💜

  • Always a good reminder
  • Ugh, I'm gonna vent here cuz it's been a rough week.

    I broke up with my partner a couple months ago. Gave him some space and time to save up and move out. His car broke down pretty shortly after, so with me just doing online school, I figure he can use my car.

    Weeks go by. He hasn't made an attempt to fix it. Then I start seeing familiar signs that he's binge drinking. I check his room two nights ago, and sure enough, gallon of vodka gone in less than a week.

    I messaged him that he won't be using my car anymore. Took it and stayed with a friend last night. I purposefully made sure to take it on his days off so he wouldn't be completely fucked trying to figure things out with short notice. He messaged back this morning with a bunch of guilt tripping bullshit that I'm going out of my way to make his life harder and he only needs the car for one more day until he can take his to a place with loaner vehicles.

    He can easily afford an Uber or ask a coworker for rides. But instead he wants to try emotionally manipulating me to feel sorry for him and excuse his drinking and driving. No, dude. Not my fucking problem anymore.

  • UFC star made more in 24 hours on OnlyFans than she did 'in her entire fighting career'
  • You sure are doing women a favor by fear mongering over it and acting like it's something shameful. With modern tech all you need is a picture of someone's face anyway. And I say this as someone who has had content posted without my knowledge or consent. What exactly do you want me to do, live my life being "haunted" by this or tell people like you to fuck off and quit making it worse?
