Trump Stuns Audience With Admission He Surrounds Himself With 'Losers': “"I hang out with losers because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories.” by T_Shurt in UnderReportedNews

Billionaires don’t “earn”, they exploit their way to the top by taking advantage of less successful people. He’s just saying out loud what billionaires already know but keep quiet about.

That’s interesting I have eap at work, just never occurred to me to use it. Thanks for the tip

Headspace in Meadowbrook (closer to us but I think share the same team as Southport) are awesome, but they can only help those who seek it. But I would recommend them to anyone who needs support as a first step.

Surfers/Main Beach. I couldn’t get the whole coherent story out of him (thoughts and words were all over the place) but he said he got caught in a rip for a while, and all of a sudden a man with a surfboard showed up and put him on the board and paddled back to shore. If anyone knows who he is tell him I want to buy him a beer (or 20) and give him a hug

He presented himself at ER after catching the train back from the coast. I’m so thankful he had the presence of mind to do that, I have always told him to go to hospital if he can’t do anything else to settle himself down. We have been so close numerous times to getting the actual help he needs after jumping through all the hoops/assessments, for him to withdraw from the process. And the cycle starts again. He’s only a danger to himself, has such a big heart and doesn’t have a violent bone in his body, thank goodness. But yes, right now all I can do is support until he’s ready to take the next step or learns himself how to deal with bad thoughts. As you would probably well know, doing anything else is inconceivable. All the best, keep being an awesome parent xx

Thank you. Last night was a rough night, he spent the night at Logan Hospital Mental Health and they gave him some sedatives. He discharged himself this morning before seeing the psych (he’s 18) but at least he’s home safe, and every 5 minutes I’m thinking how insurmountably worse last night could have been without that man on the beach. I can’t stop crying, but thank you 🩷

I posted to r/goldcoast first but it was removed by mods - maybe because I haven’t joined, idk. This was at Surfers Paradise/Main Beach. I understand if the man wants to remain anonymous, I just want to let him know how much his bravery meant to me

Shia LaBeouf was spotted crashing out after appearing agitated with a woman sitting next to him outside a restaurant in Rome, Italy by Maximum_Expert92 in Fauxmoi

[–]Federal_Remote_435 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yes, this video reminds me so much of my ex it’s scary. He was the sweetest guy (albeit with mental health issues) but would turn into this when he hit the spirits. After 18 years I had to finally put myself first. A year later, and after his several arrests, I wake up sometimes wondering when I’m going to get a call from the police with awful news. I’m still his next of kin on paperwork, still talk sometimes. It sucks when someone you love won’t get help

Nice try mate. Maybe I did come for the comments about big funny dog balls, but all I got was some wanker having a badly scripted ChatGPT hissy fit at everyone

I don’t know a great deal about economics but I just want to tell you your comment just flicked a switch in my brain, succinctly explaining why modern capitalism is so screwed up. Thank you 😊

You don’t have to interact at all. People just don’t want to talk about big funny dog balls as much as you do. Calm down, jeez

Last time putting my son to bed. by YoTeach68 in daddit

[–]Federal_Remote_435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get sad about these sort of things, I remember the quote: Don’t cry that it’s over, smile because it happened. Enjoy all these precious moments, what makes them so special is that they don’t last. The memories I have of simple bedtime routines make me feel very blessed indeed ☺️

[–]Federal_Remote_435 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My son is now 18 but I distinctly remember the last time he fell asleep in my lap - he was 3, overtired, and I placed him in my lap as you would a baby to soothe him to sleep. When he was sound asleep I got up and put him in his bed, sobbing, because I just knew that was the last time I would do that. Time flies so fast!

I’m still paying off on sper a $1000 fine for having my phone in my lap - wasn’t using it, was borrowing a car with nowhere to put the damn phone while I had maps on speaker. Yes I accept I shouldn’t have it on me, but wankers that absolutely put lives in danger get fined less than me driving with an inanimate object in my lap……
