not enough denim

dude needs to move out and learn what taking care of yourself entails instead of going right from mom to gf

Since I pretend I think all these posts are real for the sake of entertainment, i have to set aside “it’s fiction” as my best case scenario here and replace it with “Jim is pretending he has been dating his old student for a decade to hide the affair he’s having with her mother. The mom is also in on it and providing him with intel to hide her affair.”

That would mean he isn’t stalking a woman who was once his student, and is just participating in the comparably innocuous adultery.

Also, I think more people should name their spouses “Bork” for their posts.

He sounds financially abusive, at the very least. The bit where he didn’t think it was strange her friend gave her a backpack because her friend was always giving her stuff seems like a big sign. Her friend has been helping her for years because he won’t buy her basic necessities for school. Despite admitting himself that money isn’t the issue. It’s control and punishment for not looking like him. I hope his wife is planning a similar stealthy escape.

I hope the friend breaks up with her, too.

According to their facebook page it’s a birthday cake base with sprinkles, marshmallows, and a blueberry swirl. Probably other places have meme flavors, but this is the one that got some articles.

hope she’s stable now and hope they worked things out. he seems very kind.

Since football (soccer) has the most fans it probably has - just in pure numbers - the most dumbasses into it. Percentage-wise, hopefully the sports experts will weigh in with that.

One of those funny concept stories that could be neat so long as they don’t do anything gross romance-wise. Anyone read the manga?

I struggle to get myself to wear sunscreen, and that keeps me from pain and death! No makeup for me, lol. When I had some interest in makeup, I eventually got used to it, but the interest is gone.

It sucks you have to wear makeup to avoid comments. IMO, it should be an entirely neutral choice and other people can mind their own business.

Make-up, I guess. Look, I make everyone who wears it look amazing in my insistence on not putting that distracting stuff on my face. I bring the average down!

This study I linked is pretty interesting, with how it goes over the different possibilities that have been studied. More useful than any random guess I throw out there. The bit in the original article where they said many younger patients lack common risk factors threw me for a loop when I was mentally already theorizing.

No one knows what’s causing the rise in cases in younger adults. But Georgetown’s Marshall said many young patients lack common risk factors. He wonders if changes in young people’s gut bacteria — the microbiome — might play a role.

Still no real answer to this question, then. The article lists risk factors but the younger people don’t necessarily have them. Increasing exercise if you’re sedentary might help. Speculation on my part feels wrong when people who have studied this for years are still speculating, themselves.

I guess it depends on how much effort goes into it, but odds are it’d be an easy cash grab so i assume it’d be way worse and also inherently obnoxious.

That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

It does seem like the kind of situation, with a lot of money flying around, that would attract scams

She looks normal. Rightwing people are so weird.

I thought he was pocketing it

It must have sucked for your dad but part of me is happy that those sitcoms didn’t entirely lie to me.
