You mean (wait for it) fiction?

*U

You’ve not met very many people then, and/or are heavily influenced by what you see online. Most people, yes even in the US, are not like what you’re describing.

You are not allowed to be modest and enjoy your life here. You have to always be striving for more and deeply unhappy with what you already have. It’s the national religion.

Who’s being hyperbolic again?

You’re the one who brought it up. If you’re already fine with it, and I misread your several comments as your being conflicted about all that, forgive me. But “You can tell me these magical ‘supportive’ people exist, but to me they are entirely theoretical” really doesn’t sound like you’re okay with it.

All that said, just because people are family doesn’t mean they can’t be shitty shitty people. Just because you’ve known someone a long time doesn’t necessarily make them a friend.

To put it bluntly, yes.

After reading your reply to someone else, you seem to be wrapped up in what all of those people think about you. If you can unwrap yourself without cutting them out, do that. It’ll take a lot of quiet confidence and being able to let their criticisms roll off your back.

That’s hard to do when you’re in a hole, and nobody wants to support your getting out of it. (And by hole, I mean your mental state, not your financial situation.) You should connect with people who support you, not with people who continue to push you down.

The people who give you shit for having more room than you actually need are self-selecting themselves out of your life.

The fuck are you talking about

I’m not perfectly familiar with the process. SCOTUS is an appeals court; does her side not have to go argue? Or is it just the appellant asking the court and the court reviewing previous case documentation and the law? (Yeah, lol, “law”, but I mean ideally.)

Just remember that weird rhymes with beird.

Next up: Protesters must be nude and completely depillated.

Slaughterhouse Five deserves a mention.

Indeed, the actions of authority to remove the art become part of the art.

Dude’s not wiping, my dog is doing him a favor.

It’s an entirely different kind of flying.

That’s a foot.

We’ve had one model, but what about second model?

What are you feeding it?

“Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.”

My dog licks his butthole all the time.
