These drugs are so fucked that I can’t stop taking them because they’re saving my life

SNRIs are fucked. psychiatry is genuinely evil. i cant wait to get clean from these once i'm in a safe enough environment.

We put these up after having dead window birds regularly. They’re cute but you can barely see them and we haven’t had an issue since.

hot take: bird glass is terrible and NYC now requiring it in all new buildings is a travesty

After ~2 attempts it isn’t mental health in the traditional sense. It absolutely becomes *PRIMARILY* manipulation. You are intentionally holding your family and friends hostage. Shit or get off the pot. Let everyone move on with their lives. Cancel me.

Sorry your BPD friend in crisis made you feel icky. Sorry they’re in crisis so often. I’m sorry it’s sooooo burdensome to YOU. BPD is a disorder so severe there are places that recommend assisted suicide as the only treatment. Suck it up.

Some men will talk about selecting women out of the gene pool and then be homophobia and claim to be straight. Buddy you don’t like women and that’s okay. you don’t need to make it your entire personality

Imagine being so intellectually bankrupt that you mistake artificial wombs for evidence that women are becoming obsolete. By that logic, sperm banks should have made men irrelevant decades ago. Technology can replace biological functions, but confusing that with replacing human beings isn't scientific reasoning. It's misogyny with a Wi-Fi connection.

I would rather be friends with a narcissist and a diagnosed psychopath. At least they’re interesting.

I’ve always been an advocate of not fucking around with being close to disabled people if you yourself are too fragile to handle what that means. Leave pwBPD the fuck alone, you are in the wrong for putting them in this position. You are the one with power here.

Whoever is responsible for TV volume control deserves hell. Why does my TV have like 50+ numbers but the only reasonable volumes are 3-12, with 3 being just below functional hearing and 4 being twice as loud, which is now too loud for my husband to sleep through.

My friend was talking about getting a breast reduction and asking about my experience (not personally but professionally) She mentioned her bra size being something like “44DDD” and I was like, “Girl. That’s NOT your bra size. Without measuring you, try starting with a 36P.” We didn’t see each other for a year and the next time I saw her it looked like she had a reduction. I asked and she said, “No. I just found the right bra size.” And I’ve been patting myself on the back for changing her life ever since. Don’t live your life in the wrong bra.

Also, her boobs aren’t *massive* they are definitely large, but not in the top la egret 10 boobs I’ve seen. For “where do you even get that size” Here is one, they have 3 styles. miseczki.com/collections/pol…

They have up to a band 48P and 50O and down to band 26DD with everything larger than 28 starting at D, 26 and 28 both up to a P. Almost everyone has at least 4 inches of breast tissue (D). Thats only two inches each breast, across the entire breast.

Going across town for a baby shower on a Sunday at noon for 2 hours is not a long weekend 2-3 hours away from home requiring a full weekend babysitter.

as a single childless woman, you can show up for countless bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, kid's birthday parties, anniversary dinners etc. but if you want even a modicum of reciprocation suddenly it's mortifying and beyond the pale. lol ok.

I literally went to aldi. Almost everyone has access to one. If a single person is spending more than a family of 3 its a skill issue and you are making excuses.

40 states + DC. So 20% of states don’t even have one. 8 of those 40 have less than 10. No. Most of us don’t have access to Aldi. The Midwest and somewhat the south have Aldi.

If you want to marry a virgin, how do you plan to find out she has vaginismus ahead of time?

People are so deep in BBL culture that people don’t even realize that her butt, literally matches her thighs… & she doesn’t even have a bad butt. But what kind of ass were you expecting?? BBL? High glute muscle, even though she has minimal leg muscle?

You also need to discuss who is taking work off when the kids are sick for the 5th work day in a row. Or when they’re sick for the 3rd time in 2 months. If there isn’t a plan, it will fall on one of you the majority of the time and it *will* impact your career.
