Seems obvious now that you’ve said it, haha. Thank you for the help!

Who the fuck is CBP??

Man that phrasing really got me, lmao. Thanks for the chuckle.

This is exactly why I won’t do it. I learned a long time ago I have the worst luck possible with anything gambling related. Money is too important to me to just piss it away.

Jesus fuck holy hell this was me down to the letter. Only difference was my meds worked for probably a year, which made the drop in productivity even more obvious. Like a ‘why brain no worky’ moment that just curved down over time. I had other shit going on though that I like to partially attribute, plus my med spiking up to 450 a month was enough for me to get off meds which was even more horrifyingly bad. Now 2 years later I’m back to being unproductive and kicking myself 10 times harder because I know what I’m capable of. Queue the endless anxiety / stress / guilt cycle. Now I have to go through finding another doc, then 6 months of scaling whatever med, that’s if I ever remember after work that I need to do it to begin with. Only time I ever remember is laying in bed at night losing sleep because of the amount of anxiety I have from not performing.

Title sounds like a 9 year old trying to look up porn for the first time. Fuck off bot.

Yeah they went through all the hoops, kid was his. Custody wasn’t a thing due to distance and being estranged for so long. Idk, you’d think something would be in the system to prevent it but it exists. Thankfully it didn’t cause issues with his current wife, and obviously his kids knowing didn’t need to be a thing. Basically just picked up a bill. Really is disgusting, and the chick that did it had like 2 or 3 kids, all different dads. So yeah, genetic scammer I guess?

Jesus what a shit parent. Sorry you had to deal with that. Hope you’re better now and don’t have that toxicity in your life

I get what you’re stating. I think there’s a point to be made on the financial implications in a male rape as well. If the dude is unconscious and raped, if it ends in a pregnancy unknown to the man, woman decides to keep it, she then has a free ticket to get the guy for 18 years of child support. I say this because it happened to a good friend of mine. Woman didn’t reach out until the kid was 16, boom, garnished wages for back child support. Completely fucked his financial stability, and the dude was married with 3 kids. He never knew the woman or the kid, literally lived on the other side of the US. There’s definitely some improvements that could be made to the current systems.

Hooray for more posturing! Really nice that this current administration has shown without a doubt that our entire system is full of spineless garbage that really will do nothing to balance power, which is literally why those branches of government exist. Yes AOC is a firecracker and more verbal than most. Yes, she drives change and is a speaker for a the people. But without any backup from the entirety of our gov, she’s just a megaphone yelling into a void.

Appreciate your efforts on keeping the Internet honest. Seriously. Shit is ridiculous these days.

The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.

Yeah my issue is my hyperfixation is gaming. Other hobbies every now and then, but never anything useful like programming, even though that would be a major boon. Anything learning-wise and my brain just shuts down, finds everything it can to distract, etc. when I’m medicated though? Yeah, I’m def the dude on the left. Power through anything, learn anything. Literally feel like the guy in Limitless when my meds are working.

Fucking Amen dude. Recently saw a clip about the ‘F.U.R.R.I.E.S.’ act. Jesus Christ Texas gov is a disgrace. Hoping this is the beginning of shit turning around.

Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better for you.

Great news for ‘the rest of the world’ but I’d prefer not to deal with this shit here for 4 years as well god dammit.

Amen dude. Super fucked. That whole movie was depressing because of how stupidly accurate it is.

It’s ‘the newest hot’ aka the thing most people know is a good thing, but know nothing beyond the basics. Sets up for people to easily rip you off, install sub-par products, perform shitty installation, overcharge with shitty interest rate loans, etc.

I like it! Has a very viceral and cave drawing feel to it.

Man that scene was fuckin harsh. The movie is Civil War and does a great job of showing why you don’t actually want a civil war to break out.
