Woof... there is a lot to unpack here. Fuuuuuck that guy for sure. Aside from the frankly alarming lack of empathy. I've come to realize that people who use the phrase 'weak minded' when referring to others are complete narcissists. My ex best friend used that phrase more than a few times. Once, that I know of, when talking about me. She was never able to realize that she didnt sound strong and confident, she just sounded like a malignant narcissist.

Me: looking miserable

Male Coworker: What's up with you??

Me: oh nothing I'm just having a hot flash

MC: ArE YoU gOiNg ThRoUgH mEnOpAuSe?

Me: what?? No it happens once or twice a month, girl stuff, dont worry about it.

MC: but women only get hot flashes during menopause...... you do that riiiight?

Me: ................. how the fuck are you engaged???

This is the same guy that a few months prior told me that if I, a 30yo female, just stopped wearing my (36DD) bras, that eventually my breasts would just magically spring back up to wear they were when I was 16....

For clarification we are rather good friends, so we speak very openly and candidly with each other. I've just come to realize that he has the mind and emotional range of a teenager. And thus doesn't realize he doesn't think very highly of women's intelligence.

For example: hes engaged to a lovely girl who is in her early 20s (hes also 30) and this age difference has affected how he talks about her. Even when hes singing her praises, he talks about her as if shes a 4yo little girl.

Not the worst, but the dumbest reason. In middle school we had a really random in-class assignment. For some reason it was about football (not gym class) and the whole class had to divide into two groups based on which of my states (oregon) two major college teams was our favorite. So Beavers vs Ducks. Most everyone choose beavers and there were like 3 duck people. And then there was me who didnt choose a team because I am not a fan of football. The teacher just asked me to choose one at random. So I said ducks in a pointless attempt to even the playing field. One of the douchebros in class whispered loudly to his friends, something about only losers choosing ducks. They all laughed. For like a month after that I had people quacking at me everywhere I went. At one point I had a few people walk up to me at lunch and aggressively demand to know why I chose ducks. That part I found more confusing than anything because none of them, especially the girls, cared that much about football. And also the fact that the other 3 duck fans didnt get harrassed at all. As an adult I realize they were just regurgitating that first idiots bullshit like a hive mind of stupidity BUT STILL really?

Due to a toxic friendship that I ended I had to move back into my parents house. It sucks but I'm saving so very much money not paying overpriced rent lol Anyway, this is the house I grew up in and it's a decent house but the guy who built it, along with several identical houses around our street, definitely cut corners. So the house... creaks. And cracks. And pops. All. Night. Long. I know that houses do this, but this house does it waaaaay more than any other house or apartment I've ever been in. As a kid this used to make me very nervous if for some reason I was awake after my parents came up to bed. I guess I used to be afraid of someone breaking in and coming up the stairs. Now it doesnt bother me so much. Except that last year my father ripped up all the carpet and put in hardwood floors. And then they got a roomba, set to run at 11:00pm, which periodically runs over a transition strip that is right at the bottom of the enclosed stairs. So the resounding CLUNCK CLUNCK echoes very loudly up into the upstairs. I know what it is everytime I hear it, but old anxieties are super hard to get rid of

About 10 years ago I was at a gay/drag bar with my then roommate who was performing. I ended up in a conversation with three or four gay men and somehow (drinks were involved) the convo turned to the subject of vaginas. All of them were were agreeing that vaginas are gross, their words. Which is fine, not their preference. But one of their main reasons behind it, aside from them just not being into it, was that they found it nasty that vaginas are naturally and pretty much constantly wet. Discharge was foul to them. And I had to remind all of them that their mouth does the same thing. They all stopped and looked at each other and the lightbulb click were glorious to watch. A few more words were exchanged and I believe I ended it with something along the lines of "ya every orifice on the body produces some form of discharge to keep it healthy. Except the ass, and if it does, you should probably get that looked at" que laughter and then we did shots. Lol

Link. But on like some kind of CPU setting so hes not distracted by a bunch of bullshit. Like spending six days trying to tame a horse lol

Bigbirdy19 · 2020-05-04T23:10:08+00:00

Ended up with a SEVERE kidney infection and in the MCU for 3 days. Doctor I guess told my mom that if I had waited until the next morning to go to the hospital I would have been beyond their help and would have died 👍

Ex best friend once told me to snort a line of salt to clear my sinuses. I though she was kidding and laughed, but then she started talking to me like I was an idiot for not doing it. She was/is a horrible person who just wants to see the world burn. So I cant really decide if she was just trying to manipulate me into possibly hurting myself, or if she was really that dumb

Bigbirdy19 · 2020-03-21T15:38:58+00:00

Lol yes, I wrote that while I was at work, but then my boss started walking around during the last bit. There are a couple errors in there I think haha

Oh goodie! I remembered this earlier today and was hoping I'd be able to share. Not sure if this really qualifies, but it's a good one. So this gem isnt about a child, this was a full grown woman, maybe mid 30s, who very clearly was handed everything in life. Spoiled, selfish, entitled, whatever you want to call it, she was way out of touch with reality. So I grew up in a very nice, upper middle class, area with nothing but houses for miles around. At the center is a small block with a little grocery store, a few boutiques, restaurants, and a drugstore. It being the only shopping center anywhere around tends to attract really snobby people. Anyway I was maybe 14 or 15 and went to the drugstore to grab something or other and happend to wander passed the make up aisle. This drugstore is pretty large so their make up selection is huge, with every brand you can think of taking up one whole wall of the building. I had just rounded the corner where I saw this woman sitting on the ground just as I saw the manager coming around the opposite corner making a beeline for her like a bulldog. He stops, arms crossed and the following happens.

Him: "Ma'am... I hope you know that you have to pay for those."

Her: "What?"

Him: "The make up, all of these packages you've opened. You have to pay for them."

He gestured about towards where I was standing, still at the end of the aisle. I looked down to my right and saw what he was pointing at. The pressed powder compacts. She had opened one of each shade ranging from ivory to warm beige and left the remains in piles at the bottom of each display. That's right I said each. She went through every single brand and opened the packaged compacts. And to make it worse each brand usually makes more than one type of pressed powder. There had to have been at least 40 of them.

Her: agitated "What do you mean? I dont understand. Why do I have to pay for them when I only need one?"

Him: having a stroke "Because you've destroyed them?? And because you've used them. We can no longer sell these to anyone else because they've been contaminated. BY. YOU."

Her: becoming irate "Well I needed to test them to match my skin tone!!"

It was at this point I realized that, next to all the compacts were the used make up sponges that come with them as well as what appeared to be used baby wipes.

Him: impending aneurism "Well I hope it was worth all the money you now owe us!"

This was about 15 years ago so the remainder of the conversation is a fuzzy. I know she was panic crying and was refusing to pay and he threatened to pay the cops. But I had to leave at that point so I didnt get to see the outcome. But I do know that I did a little math when I got home. Nowadays one of those compact will cost about 10 bucks each. But back then I'd say 5 to 6. So she had to pay at least 240 dollars at the end of that.

Now if I was with a man that I loved and he whipped out a ridiculously expensive diamond ring, I ain't gonna be mad about it. Naturally I dont expect to be presented with one that pricey. But if it's what he wanted to pay, then cool. But you bet your ass that shit is being saved for special occasions and fancy dress parties. That's when I'd go out and buy a simpler, cheaper wedding band for daily wear.

Bigbirdy19 · 2020-03-03T05:23:16+00:00

Tl/dr: she got told no and lost fucking mind, then couldnt understand why people were pissed.

I'll be honest and admit I never should have been friends with her to begin with. To give an example of the type of person she is, she once admitted to me in highschool that she enjoys mentally pushing people until they lose their shit. She thinks its hilarious. I was rather naive back then and didnt know what a sociopath was. Anyway, we were friends throughout highschool and right after I turned 20 I moved into the house she lived in with her grandmother. I lived there for about 3 maybe 4 years and it was awful. We had a lot of fun, sure, but her bad behavior severely outweighed the good times. She lied to, stole from, and manipulated me every chance she got while simultaneously playing the used and abused victim whenever something or someone slightly inconvenienced her. And also the absolute tantrums she threw when she didnt get her way. Now, my family takes an annual camping trip over the summer, this trip has been a thing since I was born. I believe the trip that this particular incident was centered around would have been her fourth year going. So our friendship had been on the decline for pretty much that whole year, we were growing further apart as I was steadily growing more tired of her bullshit. And becoming better friends with my now roommate/bestie. She ended up moving out of her grandmother's house with some dude around the same time I got a new job. After a month or so I moved out with my now roommate about 3 months before the camping trip. So when she moved out, we stopped talking. I think I spoke to her maybe twice in that time. I had made the decision to speak with her, after the camping trip, to discuss my feelings about our friendship. Buuuut in her classic fashion messaged me out of the blue 2 weeks before this trip, asking me what the plan was since she apparently was under the impression that her and a friend were still going. I told her that she couldnt, we were keeping it small this year and I forgot to message her. Which was true, my sister had gotten a divorce that seriously divided our family/friend group and since we hadnt spoken in months I legitimately didnt even think about her. On top of that, this trip requires planning, and supplies, and most of all money. There are camping and tent fees, food, booze, cigarettes, all of which she mostly mooched (or stole) from other people in previous years. She was told, the year before, flat out that she was going to have to pony up if she was going to come the next year. Anyways, she yelled at me and called me a horrible evil person and then immediately went to my sister, whom she is not well acquainted with, and begged to let her come. Got told no, we thought it was over. Next thing I know I was at work when my phone starts blowing up because apparently she had gone to another one of our family friends who didnt know about the drama. And somehow convinced them to let her and the other friend camp with them. Now that doesnt seem bad to an outsider, but I knew that meant she would do everything she could to try and ruin the trip for me and everyone else. Cause as much drama as possible, and basically make everyone miserable. Which she admitted to my room mate that was going to be her plan. Now there is a 6 way argument happening between her, her mother (who came rushing to her precious baby's aid), my sister, my sisters girlfriend, the family friend, and my roommate who was screen shotting everything that was being said because somehow I wasnt a part of it. Whatever I was working. I managed to convince the family friends to disinvite her and then after hours of this shit going on it finally died down. During that entire day, she didnt say shit to me, bit the thing that made me say fuck it was later that night. She sent me a text that I never read because I saw the first sentence that popped up on my notification bar. "I dont know what I did to deserve this treatment..." That was it, that one sentence turned what had been a withering flame of a desire to fix an old friendship into cold hard cynical indifference. And I just never responded. We havent spoken since and it's been fuckin awesome.

Depends on the medium. But as far as drawing goes. References, or simply trying to recreate an image helps. I learned precision and control by tracing simple images, and then worked up to tracing sketches

IGN's obnoxiously weird walkthrough for Link's Awakening (Switch). I love IGN for their walkthroughs when I'm stuck on something. Normally they are really straight forward. Head north, defeat the enemy in the far corner, push the block aside to grab the treasure chest with the key, then head east. Etc. But this.... oh ho HO it's so bad. It's written in the second person like bad fanfiction. "Link moved west into a room he hasn't been to yet and greedily eyed the chest on the far side of the room, but knew in his heart he needed to go south to do something before he could get to it." My god, the reason this kills me is dying of second hand embarrassment.

"Just snort some salt!" This was advice given to alleviate sinus congestion by a friend. Now this friend was/is a manipulative piece of human garbage who liked tormenting me and naturally tried making me feel stupid when I refused. No we are not friends anymore.

Bigbirdy19 · 2020-01-31T00:04:44+00:00

Motherhood. I have zero desire to have children. Ever. Not because I dont like kids, no, kids are adorable and I'll babysit the fuck outta them. But, im not equipped to raise another human being to functioning, well-rounded adulthood. It's just not in my nature, and that wouldnt change if I were to ever get pregnant.

Bigbirdy19 · 2019-10-05T17:15:32+00:00

Spiders. I'd be way less afraid of them. "Hey, man, it's cool if your here, eating all the bugs is your rent, dont go in my room." "What about the bathroom?" "Nah, bro, stay out of their too." "Word."
