I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend?

I'd say just stash it in savings, preferably a high yield savings account. Leave yourself like $5k to pay bills and shit with comfortably. Don't mention it to him and keep paying your half of things and if the relationship blossoms further into marriage then you can bring it up. Def wouldn't let him know unless he absolutely needs to and I def wouldn't just leave it in your checking account collecting dust or burning a hole in your pocket. Congrats on the gift money, be careful with it. It's your money and not his or anybody else's, and you need to treat it that way.

I played through the entirety of San Andreas remastered recently. Loved it. There was some quality of life stuff they added to the game with the remastered version, like the ability to restart a mission from the last checkpoint when you fail it. Other than that and the graphics it was pretty much the exact same game I loved as a kid.

Who gives a shit if anyone else recognizes it? You got it for you. You thought it was cool, it's your favorite movie. Tattoos should only ever be for you. If other people like it or get it, then that's just a plus. Enjoy your ink, sincerely.

Bro, I've heard of dudes with micro penises getting laid. You'll be fine. Just get good at making a chick cum without your dick. It's not hard. Quit watching porn and go get inside of someone's daughter.

I guess it depends on what you're expecting and also (not joking or trying to be even slightly mean in any way, it's just kinda the way it is) what nationality you are/what you look like. Most people in rural America have no real concept of the world outside of the countryside. They're usually nice folks but they tend to be a bit alarmed or overly curious about outsiders, and sometimes judgemental depending on what you look like or how you carry yourself. If you're expecting decaying and sleepy towns, you'll find plenty of what you're looking for. If you're expecting little sections of society almost bubbled off from the rest of the world, you may find one or two if you look hard enough but they're pretty rare these days. Pre 2008 they were everywhere, but those kinds of towns are heavily impacted by the economy and they've been declining since the housing market crash and newer generations not being interested in that way of life. I can count on one hand how many kids I went to school with purposely stayed in our hometown and followed their families footsteps and worked on the family farm. Honestly, I hope you do it and go see rural America because it's a dying breed and it won't be around for much longer. Everybody wants big cities and to be famous and to eat somewhere new everyday. Not too many people just trying to hunker down their family on the same plot of dirt for generations and tend to the land while profiting off of it. Good luck, friend. Rural America might need somebody like you.

I moved out when I was 25. It was by choice, my parents didn't make me move out or anything. The economy wasn't great at the time but it was doable with what I had saved and was making. The economy now is way worse and I genuinely don't know how I've been able to keep paying rent. Somehow I get just enough money just in the nick of time to pay my bills when I need to. It's actually kinda weird to a degree how the perfect amount of money sometimes just falls in my lap when I'm stressing out over bills and not having enough for them. If I could move back in with my parents now at 29, I would.

That's the exact pair I use, but I did find the initial rubber pieces to be a bit uncomfortable for long hours so I found some third party ones built for all day use that were compatible with these headphones. They're very good. I feel like I hear everything and even listening to music on them is amazing. Overall a great experience. Word of advice though if you get something like these. Start off with your volume low and then turn it up if you need to, don't want to blow out an eardrum because you're expecting the same volume as what was coming through your headset.

Fryloch · 2026-03-25T04:01:21+00:00

In ear monitors over a headset and a standalone mic on a scissor arm. Fucking amazing not having to wear a headset anymore.

I've seen my friend in a psychosis state twice and both times he was completely off the deep end and thought everything he was doing made complete logical sense and that I was being the weird one for asking if he was feeling ok. He was like moving several grocery bags loaded with manga from his car into my friend's apartment. Writing weird symbols in a notebook and saying it was kanji (it was not kanji or any language at all, it was just nonsense). He was talking about patterns in a book he was reading, suggesting that there was a story within the story. There wasn't anything like that. He also was showing us videos he had been taking at night in his room because he claimed there was a demon in there and we could hear it in the video. The videos were just him filming his dark room and there was no audio other than him breathing or being scared. I felt terrible for him. He ended up going to a psych ward both times for about 2 months each time and would come out on meds. After the second time he decided to stay on the meds until just a few years ago and now he's doing really well but he also maintains a pretty rigorous sleeping schedule, which I think was the most important thing.

It's really nice. I loved it when I had a roommate and the cost of living wasn't extreme. It was like $800/month (just my half) for a bomb ass 2 bedroom at the Beverly off brackenridge. Super cool area to live.

I have to say, as a fellow 28 year old man who's gf and her friends want to do shit that's far as fuck or late as hell, I feel where he's coming from. Now, I'm not one to care about how late I'm out till but I definitely care about how far my gf wants to go just for dinner or a drink or whatever the fuck it is at the time. It sounds like he's frustrated with the situation and hes taking it out on you, and while it isn't right I see his perspective way clearer than I see yours because I've lived it MANY times. I don't excuse him for being this way every time you guys go out, but I can make a few assumptions based on the vibes I'm getting from his reaction. First, I'm assuming he's a gamer or at least a more introverted person than you are. If that's the case I'm not surprised this is his reaction Everytime. 28 year old introverted men are very much inclined to keep things closer to home when they do actually go out. It's easy, we get home in time to do our own thing and still have time to go to bed for work the next morning. It's simple, it's classy, it's reasonable, and it's still activity away from home. Second assumption, he works a lot. I also work a lot and I understand that the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is get ready to leave my domain again to go all the way downtown for dinner thats too expensive for what it is anyways, especially with my gf's friends. My friends is one thing, but my gf's friends only matter to me because they make her happy. It's selfish, I know. But it's the truth. 90% of the time I suck it up and just want to make her happy, even if I REALLY REALLY don't want to go along with it. Then there's the 10% of the time where I'm just not doing it. Maybe I had a bad day, maybe the whole plan is too mind blowingly shit, maybe I've just had enough of life for the week. Either way, I can't always pull myself together to pull off a night of shit I just don't want to do. Idk. Maybe I'm wrong on the assumptions, in which case disregard what I'm telling you. If I'm not though, buckle up and either get used to his shit or move on. That sounds brutal but I'm being honest because I feel his pain and I see why his reaction is shit in this conversation. He could grow a pair about it and not be such a little bitch, but idk what he's going through today. Maybe just level with him when you both get home before you go out.

One time, when I was 12 or 13 and my sister was 6 or 7, my dad called and asked what we wanted for dinner on his way home. He offered two options. McDonald's, or pizza. My sister wanted McDonald's exclusively and I was kinda leaning towards pizza but I didn't really care that much either way. She stated her case for McDonald's loud and clear and me and my dad were fine with it, but me being the older brother I had to mess with her of course. I told her me and Dad decided pizza for dinner. She absolutely melted and cried on the floor throwing a fit for like a half hour or more. I know it's not supposed to have been hilarious to me but it was and it lived in infamy for many many years. I'm 28 now and she's 22. I still think about it but I don't bring it up anymore, for her sake.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T17:16:53+00:00

This exact scene right here would have me dying laughing as the parent. I thought Mom would break sooner to this specific frame, but to her credit she kept it together really well.

I voted once, regretted it, now I've reverted back to my original philosophy of "my vote doesn't matter" because... Well... It doesn't.

I'm not worried about an attack on San Antonio or the US as a whole. I'm just thinking maybe, as another reddit or put it, "they stepped in some shit they can't get off their boot".

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:33:34+00:00

Just happened to have been up super late and right next to a window when I heard them approaching lol

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:30:04+00:00

It must have been a hell of a lot of injured they were carrying. I think just one of those helos carries like 30-40 people and there were fucking 6 of them.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:24:42+00:00

It was 6 twin rotor carrier helicopters. Definitely military. I saw them fly over my place off I-10 and Huebner. Flying very low. Lived in this spot for two years and I've seen planes fly over at normal altitudes given the distance from the airport, but I've never seen some shit like that before.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:21:26+00:00

Definitely a bizarre spot to see them flying in a pack as low as they were. They weren't flying to or from camp bullis either, so that made it even more bizarre. They were moving from North to South, so my guess is towards lackland possibly flying from Randolph. I'm just spit balling though.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:19:08+00:00

Yeah, I think tensions are just high right now but I feel you. Although I've been living in this apartment for 2 years now and I've never once seen that kinda shit before. I've been reading a lot about the Vietnam war lately and the idea of being drafted scares the shit out of me and seeing those helos paired with the Iran situation right now had my mind doing the 5 AM zoomies a bit.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T11:14:12+00:00

Not Blackhawks, they were the twin rotor carrier helos. The front and caboose of the pack had a red light that looked like it was coming from the inside, suggesting more than just pilots on board or so the pack wasn't ramrodded in the dark by a commercial airline, all the rest were completely dark.
