A ticket is $575! And that’s like, starting price. No wonder the average income of the attendees has gone up. They’re the only people who can afford to go. The rest of us down here spending our entire paychecks on rent and food can’t be wasting money on shit like this.

Other people organized, staged, and enacted that coup. When he realized it was happening, he decided the coup stagers were “loyal” to him, so he was on board from that point on.

I agree with you that some people don’t deserve a quick death.

But I don’t think it should be government sanctioned or within the prison system, because they get it wrong all the time, and the innocent suffer.

Pictures are hung; people are hanged. English, man. It’s weird.

No, I don’t. But I already have a workplace with cameras at every entrance and exit, pin pads at every “sensitive” door, and a name badge with rfid in it so they can track my every movement via sensors in every hallway.

And no, it’s not a prison. (It just feels like one, amiright?)

Many much moosen.

Just in case this isn’t a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, “entree” is synonymous with “main course”. I know, I know. That’s not what entree means. But the fact remains.

Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn’t afford to renew it, or couldn’t take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

Misses a payment, because they already couldn’t afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

Have to show up in court, but can’t, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I’m wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.

I agree. I knew the image in the thumbnail wasn’t a Commodore 64, because it had an @ symbol above the 2. Nope! Shoulda been quotation marks there (then).

But when I click on the article, I think that first picture is right. At least, it looks like what I remember.

Maybe they choose the nicer groceries because eating is the only thing they have left in their life to look forward to? Since having children, home ownership, and retirement are all off the table in terms of affordability? Idk, just spitballin.

The article doesn’t say “bomb jolt” it says “bump, jolt.” In case no one actually reads the article.

Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I’m sure there are other apps.

Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don’t want to go below your minimum daily calories. You’ll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you’re starving.

You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.

Good luck!

My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He’s at the end of his rope. I’m trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment…for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).

He can’t afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It’s only going to get worse. And there’s nothing I can do about it.

I just realized I didn’t directly answer your question: terrible.

I have a friend who moved to the US from India. He says when he first got here he was frequently bumping into people in hallways and sidewalks, because his instinct was to move to the left, and as he eventually figured out, the US instinct was to move to the right.

The only reason we could come up with was driving sides and the India/British left side vs. US right side. Because he wasn’t constantly bumping into people in India, lol.

Zebras seem cool. I don’t think Texas has any zebras. They can hang out with the horses…? (Idk if they actually get along.)

And giraffes! I want a giraffe to come hang out in my yard and eat some tall leaves.

I think it might be the word “named” instead of “identified.” That and the two “as” appositive phrases prepositional phrases in a row.

Talk to a friend about everything you’re feeling. Bitch about all his worst qualities and be extra petty about it. Cry about all his good qualities that you’ll miss. Watch a new show or movie or an old comforting favorite (anything that doesn’t remind you of him). Have a long Lemmy scrolling session to try to take your mind off it for a while. Cry some more. Tell yourself how life is so unfair, and sometimes it sucks. Scream out loud, and get some stuff off your chest that you’d never say to his face. Cry again. Write down everything you’re feeling, then keep it, or burn it (whatever feels right in the moment). Hydrate after all the crying. Don’t forget to eat, and eat whatever you feel like. Try to get some sleep.

Potentially repeat some of those things the next day, and the next, but hopefully fewer and fewer as the days go by, and the feelings become less pointed.

Maybe you could switch to evening showers?

Pros: luxuriate in there as long as you want, feel comforted, more sleeping in.

Cons: idk, I love an evening shower. Drying your hair before bed I guess?
