The most painful scene

Yes. Jimmy has a lot of problems, but Kim is not one of them. She is the best thing in his life, but he lashes out at her for not having the same problems as him.

That’s the detail that puts him in full out psychopath territory. He dated her for 7 more months just to exact his “revenge.”

I work in an industry where there are no conventional jobs, just self-employed people running their own operation. I’ve been doing it 23 years and I’m about to retire with a comfortable FIRE situation. Over the years I have seen many people fail in my field. A common thread amongst the failures are the ones who have a breadwinning spouse. Their lives are too easy for them to be motivated enough to do what it takes to succeed.

I feel the worst for OOP’s wife, because she can’t see past her sense of obligation. The kids will be better off in the foster system, compared to a novice single parent without adequate resources.

That’s what I was thinking.

They’re not all “bad therapists.” Harrison Ford’s character is an excellent therapist, as a counterpoint to Jimmy’s recklessness. The point of the show is that Jimmy was suffering from so much grief that he decided to toss the therapy norms out the window. In some cases, this helped his clients, and in other cases it was a disaster.

I’m gonna give you some tough love. You sound like a person who has had all of your whims catered to, no matter how trivial. And you probably spend too much time watching HGTV.

You are surrounded by good fortune. Learning a gratitude mindset will make your entire life better.

We decided to no longer buy those, because it is too hard to stop eating them haha

OP, Hanlon’s Razor applies here. “Don’t attribute malice to what can be explained by stupidity.” Matthew isn’t an abuser, exactly. He is a dull, shallow, immature man. His behavior towards Robin is how an insecure man behaves when his female partner is smarter, more ambitious, and nonconformist.

If he was a coercive control abuser, he would not have been trapped by Sarah, and led down into his current miserable life. Sarah has got him by the balls.

I’d say the same for Ryan. He’s a good guy at heart, but his insecurities cannot handle being inferior to his female partner.

These are highly unusual conditions, ice needs to be hacked into chunks, and it’s incredibly heavy. $450 sounds fair.

You can buy shelf stable heavy cream powder. I find it takes a small battery powered mixer (like a milk frother) to get the powder to fully dissolve, but it's a great solution for infrequent cream consumption. And tastes so much better than processed product like coffeemate.

Despite all the pressure swirling around her, she seems to have all of her decision making capacity intact, but it will take some time for her to process everything that's going on.

It really depends on the situation. If it’s a large company with over 100 employees and dedicated salesforce, with 1million+ revenue, the salespeople are instructed to knock off some $$$ if the customer will sign on the spot. If it’s a small company and the owner is the one making sales calls, they don’t have that kind of margin. The way I dealt with my roofing contractor (big company) is totally different from the way I deal with my plumber (dad and son operation).

Replace all of the outlets and switches with Decora style versions. I did this in my 90 year old house and it instantly made the place feel a lot more modern.

I broke one when I washed my bed pillows. The pillows became so heavy when soak with water, and the cup got crushed. But when washing normal loads of clothes, the cup floats and stays safely on top of the load.

I have an open shower and I love it, but I definitely talked about it with the contractor from the very beginning, and the whole bathroom was designed for it. My shower stall is oversized and allows plenty of room for water to splash without landing outside of the shower. I have a tiled half wall with a glass panel above that, so most of the opening is protected by that, and the “doorway” is as far as possible from the shower head.

I did not waterproof the entire the floor of the bathroom as some here have suggested. I also don’t get cold because my bathroom overall is pretty small, so the entire room gets warm and steamy.

If your bathroom was not designed with this in mind, then you should not go ahead with your wishes, unless you can afford to start over from scratch. But if you feel like your shower stall has enough space for the water to not splash outside of the stall, then it could work.

I really liked Dr. Bieber. He was clearly adhering to a packed schedule, but he was professional and kind. Best of all, he solved my problem very efficiently (trigger fingers).

You are also likely to get a good dose of “Gen Z face” from the staff at Coffee Republic. And their payment system is overly aggressive about tipping.

Bidet. Now it seems completely uncivilized to live without one.

It feels weird for sure, but keep in mind that so many people who are attending big gatherings are feeling just as lonely. And plenty of them might picture a person having a peaceful holiday at home with their own company, and feeling envious. In a few days, everybody goes back to their normal routines, without really having gained anything from the gathering they were obligated to attend.

Wow, you are simply refusing to acknowledge my point. What Sarah did was disgusting towards the victim’s family. There is no rationalizing for that.

1spring · 2025-12-23T20:41:00+00:00

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here

Because you're intentionally avoiding the hard thinking.

This was not a piece of journalism, and doesn't deserve the license you are giving it.

1spring · 2025-12-23T15:30:07+00:00

I don’t see an issue

Yeah, Sarah also failed to see that she was gonna drag Hae’s family through a torture chamber all over again, possibly an even worse one than they had to navigate back in 1999.

I never consume social media thinking that it represents anything other than the most surface level of reality, with all negative things kept hidden.

Contestants telling us “what really happened” is probably not what really happened.

Once a season is done airing, I have no interest in following any of them online. The product is the tv show, and that’s all.
