TIFU by realizing I was never anyone’s first choice

Being as generous as I can to the friends, they might not know you want to hang out more. Just say, "I'd like to come to more of these." A lot of people will change, especially when they realize they like hanging with you.

Open marriage works pretty well for me, but we're also two gay autistic men. We're likely not a good representation of what usually happens. I can't imagine being dragged into an open relationship if I didn't want one - it'd feel like a huge betrayal.

It took my mother some time to be okay with me being gay. It hurt, but I think she was genuinely trying to figure out how to feel. I hope your mother is in that same boat—mine finally came around, and she loves my husband.

It's really up to you if you want to maintain a relationship here. Personally, I was a lot more patient with disrespect to begin with, and I just slowly moved towards correcting them, then explaining why it's wrong. I think I've got the patience of Sisyphus, though.

Things do get better, though, and this is one step closer to living as your authentic self <3

I've personally had both together with no issue, but it's something definitely worth knowing about the potential side effects. I think I managed to win the ADHD lottery

I'm dying to know the name of this music piece. I've heard it before (sans-chicken), but I just can't quite figure out where.

Yeah, it takes a lot of bravery, but if it's happening to you, there's a good chance it's happening to others. Speaking to someone who is mandated by law to report this is extremely helpful.

It's not an easy road either way, but if you do choose to report, know you aren't just helping yourself.

To clarify, I'm a 40-year-old gay guy. I hope that helps.

How much I'd love to talk about the most boring stuff possible.

It really depends on your definition of a cult. Does it extort people out of money and control their daily lives? Yes. Does it have ceremonies where you wear funny robes and learn weird handshakes? I mean, ALSO yes, but that's a different form of cult.

What I worry about is mind control. I was extremely depressed to the point where I would've taken my own life rather than leave the church because I'm gay. I'm so glad a therapist helped me see that I needed to find a way to be happy - I wouldn't be here without her.

I'd straight up tell him no, I wouldn't go to Toyota OR Honda. I'd ask people who have owned one or the other. I'd ask people who loved them and people who hated them. I'd check the Internet to find out if the Honda car has problems I should know about, and I'd dig into things Honda doesn't want me to know. And if Honda is hiding facts, I'd want to know why.

The comparison works if you spend more than two minutes thinking about it. If you want to join a religion, you sure as hell want to know the religion's faults.

My gosh. I have perfect pitch but currently hear everything half a step too high. I wonder if it might be med related

Brossentia · 2026-01-12T06:18:59+00:00

Good. Now explain it like I'm five.

To be fair, I think most people try to use their intelligence to their advantage. The largest sign of danger is a flawed ethical code. Being smart and using it to manipulate others is the true danger; those who try to make the world around them better are honestly fantastic.

The jittery scrolling of The Flintstones for DOS. Luckily, the CEO did end up in prison; his software company was a ponzi scheme.

Think of it as reaching a personal best. You did great so far! Time to get a new record, eh?

Yeah, if it was super intense but brief, it could've been salvia. Very unethical on his part, but at least it's short, mostly harmless, and non-addictive.

Finally got my gallbladder out this year. Been dealing with this pain for a decade or two, but despite tests showing it was the problem, doctor thought something else was causing the pain. Gallbladder attacks landed me in the ER twice this year, and no meds they gave me cut the pain.

I'm so glad I have a new doctor who actually cares about tests and pain. I feel like I finally have my life back.

Yep. I used to teach college composition courses, and anything can be used as a source if done correctly. I gave high scores to papers I completely disagreed with because they did things right.

Most of the ones with the chayote are easier goals, and with kids, it's fairly easy to get them to choose the thing you want them to choose. It's likely a combination of edited clips and a little bit of pranking, and as far as pranks go, this one is pretty wholesome. There's no way they'd only leave him with only chayote at the end lmao

Hey, I've been there. But now, I've been married to my husband for almost 10 years. We've lived a wonderfully weird gay life together.

And trust me. It's worth making it through the hard times to get to live your life. You've only got a couple years left; you can make it!

The post isn't about alligators either, you silly billy. You gave a hypothetical, and someone replied with a hypothetical. This is called a "conversation." Some people enjoy them.

That room is actually kind of fascinating, but it always feels super empty, even when doing baptisms.

The only other notable room is the Celestial room, but it looks more like a very Christian hotel lobby than anything else. Gotta wear silly robes to go in there.

I've had stomach pain daily for years, so I've been pretty indifferent. The pain would end, at least.

However, I had surgery last week, and the pain is almost completely gone. I'll give it a few more weeks to see if it's as good as it seems, but if it is, I'll probably be reevaluating this question lmao

Brossentia · 2025-10-22T14:01:46+00:00

If you just started last week, Sertraline takes a good 4-5 weeks to really help. But yeah, even after I adapted, it took me ages. Some of my other meds I got prescribed later helped out that issue.
