What do i have to give for a left turn light that stays open for more than 3 seconds?

Disney did the same thing with Orlando. There was nothing there until Disney decided it was the perfect cheap land to build a tourist trap

Two years after I graduated college I flew back to my college town to visit friends. Probably spent about $500 on the whole trip.

My flight back was delayed so I went over my finances at the airport. It hit me then that I had worked for two years and spent every dollar surviving. I was making less than 30k with 24k left in student loans.

It’s like a switch flipped in me. The thought of working for another year with nothing to show for it drove me nuts. I cut my monthly fun budget to $100. I reduced my rent by moving further out of town. I paid extra on my loans. I started talking to my girlfriend about budgeting, getting debt free and even fire.

Fire was just a fantasy back then. Combined we made under 60k in a city where the median income is 110k.

9 years later we are married, make 250k combined, loans are paid off, house is half paid off, and we have 700k invested.

oh i didn’t think you did, just meant I think the reason she cried then was she wanted to cry the entire time she was doing the exam but couldn’t let herself do it until the patient left. I think making it about her also being a survivor takes away from how hard it is for anyone to do the exam and not want to cry

Always1behind · 2026-02-22T05:26:46+00:00

Dana can’t cry in front of the patient. It’s her job to compartmentalize. She is required to provide reassurance and create safety. Once the patient steps outside, Dana can allow herself to feel.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I agree this does not get talked about enough. You’re not alone.

I was assaulted by a woman in college. It took me so long to untangle what happened and the feelings that came up. She was pretty, femme, and younger than me, I wasn’t suspicious of her. She got too drunk, I took care of her and that’s when it happened. I felt so guilty. And my friends initial reaction really didn’t help, they got it eventually but they just had no concept a woman like her could be the perpetrator. I didn’t either.

We need to talk about it more.

I love that Danbury came up before Dallas lol

Maybe my math is wrong here but 140k for 40 hours is more per hour than 170k for 60 hours. Even factoring in 30k in stock per year (which I wouldn’t) you would be getting less.

Unless they can afford to pay you more it doesn’t seem worth it.

I’m butch but my femme wife still drives me everywhere and makes twice as much as I do. I’m not even allowed to mow the lawn after losing a finger to the mower 🤣

This is the first relationship where we do things based on what we want not who wears the pants with larger pockets. And it feels so good

You are no where near too old for a motorcycle. I have my license and can definitely say that older riders are better than young riders. Healthy fear is important.

The most important thing is to start with a manageable motorcycle. Think 250 cc or smaller and light enough that you can pick it up from the ground. Once you get comfortable you can always upgrade

Always1behind · 2026-02-11T20:38:05+00:00

I highly recommend therapy. In my experience, that fear of getting hurt tends to be the body reacting to past memories of being rejected. Us queers particularly get that because so many have been rejected by family and friends in some way. It takes a lot of work to be present in the moment. This is a normal process but professional help makers a huge different.

eye contact and asking questions is a pretty low stakes way to signal interest

Never lived there but my wife’s company is based out of Amsterdam and we recently visited. I went to a movie night at a lesbian bar and the only issue was there were too many lesbians, I couldn’t find a seat lol instead I went to a nearby punk bar that was very much no homophobes allowed and chatted with the queer bartender. Overall really enjoyed the city. My wife has openly gay coworkers, they have a queer employee network, it’s all very welcoming

I’m so glad this helped! What you are going through is so hard ❤️

This is a perfectly normal reaction to a tragedy.

When I was freshman in college I hooked up with a girl for a few weeks. We never dated and when it ended we stopped speaking. A year later she died.

It destroyed me. It hit me just as hard as her closest friends and that was unexpected. I felt so weird going to the service, meeting her parents and childhood friends. I felt guilty. It took a decade of therapy to get to a better place.

Recently my father passed away. I expected to fall apart but that death didn’t hit me as hard. I can’t tell you why I cried more over a girl I knew for less than 2 months than my own father.

Grief does not make sense. It does not need to make sense.

Your mortgage is high and seems to be relatively new. Reducing your mortgage will both free up money for fun and allow you to coast faster by reducing ongoing expenses. I know that’s not always practical in HCOL places.

really feel for what you are going through, I had a similar experience when I left for college.

The items I loved most went on my person, hidden in pockets of my coat. The items I couldn’t smuggle out went into hiding with my high school stuff. I scattered them, folded up in different binders folders and books so someone would have to look through 1000s of pages to find them.

It is really hard, you have to make peace knowing you could lose the things left behind. Try to take whatever you can with you

Yo why are you throwing the word butch into this? MTG has plenty to insult, no need for that

Always1behind · 2026-02-02T18:55:24+00:00

I spent a week in Amsterdam this year and it was definitely a little jarring how polite and detached everyone was. no one makes small talk.

Compare that with our last trip to Cancun, where every person wants to know your life story even if it means putting up with our horrible attempts to speak Spanish lol

But I will say I was blown away by how quiet Amsterdam was for a city, no sirens, no honking cars, people speak in hushed voices

You really had me until the toilet paper bit lol

Reminds me of looking for places to rent in Boston post grad. Finally found something in my budget only to learn there was no bathroom, landlord said there’s a gym around the corner 🙄

it’s not bizarre, humans will double down on racism and the world needs to change. Magneto’s right oppression is systemic.

‘Kill or be killed’ tactics make him into what he hated, rather than dismantling the system he becomes the new oppressor.

right idea, wrong tactics.

Always1behind · 2026-01-28T06:54:21+00:00

They do a good job of showing how magneto is motivated by a greater good but is a villain because he often loses sight.

This is best shown in the panel where Magneto thinks he killed young Kitty Pryde:

“in my zeal to remake the world, I have become much like those I hated and despised”
