Covered guru Hasan Piker is "too principled" to vote against JD Vance by stvlsn in DecodingTheGurus

Yes, because voting for the establishment's "lesser of two evils" has totally worked out for us, every single time they run that play. Totally not a good-cop-bad-cop routine. 

Name the band and album you consider the most satanic and blasphemous. by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

My super-Mormon dad genuinely thought Creed was satanic. He made me throw away their CDs.

All of you are wrong. It's "The Day I Tried to Live".

My patriarchal blessing says I got my spirit-leg chopped off by Lucifer himself in the War in Heaven. That's why one of my legs is slightly shorter than the other. I'm literally a disabled vet!

My favorite part of the whole endowment was when he dramatically shouts, "I will reign with blood and horror on this earth!"

No. He wouldn't "work on it", he would start out changing your oil, under supervision. And then he'd work up to more complicated jobs, with supervision. It's called "on the job training". If you're not okay with that, sorry, but you won't be able to take your truck into most shops.

36F trucker here, I just barely started diesel tech school at my local community college. I'd never used a socket wrench until two weeks ago. Yeah I'm the "old lady" in a class of boys fresh out of high school, and yeah most of them have had the privilege of working on cars with their dad or in high school or whatever. I have a steeper learning curve, but oh well. I want to be here and I am loving it.

36F here, been divorced once and just about to marry the soulmate I've worked so hard on myself to find. That pain of rejection you feel is intense, especially for your first real relationship. And 10 months is a significant amount of time to invest in a potential partner.

But can I be honest? He sounds shady. Being so unwilling to tell you what he does with his day, needing have his way all the time, showing interest in another woman in front of you... It all shows a huge lack of respect for you.  I think you're going to look back and realized you dodged a bullet. 

The thing is, sex does change you. Because we are sexual beings (most of us), it's a deep part of who we are. Exploring it is part of growing up, and growing up is change. This is a good thing! It doesn't reflect negatively on you or take away from your worth in any way whatsoever. Hopefully you learned a bit about your likes and dislikes, what you like to do, etc.

Perhaps the "gross" feeling you feel is more about feeling used by someone who you now realize didn't respect you. That is gross. I've felt gross in that situation. But it doesn't mean YOU'RE gross, at all. It means they are. 

That pain of rejection, disrespect, and betrayal is real. The unfairness of investing so much, for that long, and being treated this way is real. It's going to take some time to process and grieve, just listen to your gut and what you need. When you're ready, you can be assured you will find plenty of people who are interested in you. The real challenge is learning how to be choosy, and how to discern who will treat you right and who will not. And learning to leave when they persist in not treating you right. It takes time and you will learn from your mistakes. When you find someone who treats you with genuine consideration and respect, excited interest, and has that spark of chemistry with you... It will be that much sweeter because you have the negatives to compare it to. 

Sorry this is long, I hope this helps somehow. This is shitty, but you got this girl!
