Kids are smarter than anyone gives them credit for and even studies prove that two happy divorced or otherwise separated parents are better than an unhappy couple. Not saying its going to be easy or that I know all the context but its worth thinking about what you’re teaching to your kids staying unhappy for the sake of a broken relationship with their mother. And for what its worth an internet stranger is sending e-hugs and his best wishes

I really should get tested…

Most people realized that terms they had been using were viewed as offensive to someone because of the wildly increased communication capacity of the internet. Aside from the majority not wanting to be a dick to someone else insulting someone tends to cause trouble for the offender as well. So in purely selfish terms it was easier to just not say the things that would get you in trouble.

A narcissist sees the rest of the world as inferior to them their perception of reality is all derivative of this opinion. When confronted with objective reality disputing that they don’t just react to the singular confrontation. Because their psuedo superiority underlines everything they think about any evidence they are wrong begins to dismantle every opinion they have. Now being forced to consider the entire way they perceive reality is flawed its easier to get angry and confrontational instead of reevaluating their worldview

You made my argument for me. There isn’t a thinking being on the other side. Its a computer program that sees the words “suicide” or “kill myself” and has an equally good chance to recommend a therapist or a list of methods. I’m not saying Chat GPT was holding the knife it just unthinkingly showed where to put it to an already suicidal child

A book doesn’t respond to you with encouraging language

First off is taking some of my meals as a liquid, Protein powder plus iced coffee has been doing wonders for me in the morning and it takes seconds to assemble. The other one is made a deal with my roommate that I’d cook dinner most nights if I never had to mow the lawn so the subtle pressure of not just needing to feed myself helps as well.

Another thing is you can’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Some days if its calories that isn’t pure sugar then I count that as a win and promise to try to do better tomorrow. I still skip meals on the regular to the point that my name has become a verb to describe the phenomenon but we do our best right?

Imo for most applications that I’d be using an analog clock for a time difference of even up to 5-10 minutes is irrelevant. If I really needed up to the minute accuracy I’m using a digital clock with the seconds counting down

If context makes it worse then were already not in a good place my guy

Thats exactly it, thank you so much!

Children’s book, isolated world that exists on a 3 tiered mountain and is totally self sufficient and the fig somehow is the staple crop. Young adult gets curious and explores and finds the dystopian truth. The unique bit was the architect of the mountain paradise thing had such a large intellect he used strings of 6 numbers to recall memories like a biological card catalog. There was also a website where you could plug in the numbers from the book to pull up like blueprints and pictures. I wanna say it starts with “Ae-” but I havent been able to find it since I read it in '08

I use audio books to take up bandwidth when I’m working. A lot of what I do on a daily basis is pretty routine so they keep me on task like nothing else

I’d bring a 4 year old that I’ve just filled with carnival food to their home office. I want to see how this person reacts to a child throwing up on and possibly breaking their things. I wanna see how they as an adult handles a situation that is no one’s fault but needs handling

And now your going to die wearing that stupid little hat

Position of your hole and cheeks I imagine

You just hope that all the self serving gremlins that gravitated towards Chief Cheeto spend the rest of their lives like adults that peaked in high school. Just trying to relive the glory days while slowly sliding into liver cirrhosis and amphetamine addiction while being ignored by their families

Treat it like a business even if its just for the kids. Make a plan where you outline your services, availability and perhaps an applicable work/education history. Then just start asking around, maybe start by asking other clowns in your area about where you can find a gig or where you can find a place for you to get better
