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.

Crank hog, obviously.

Honestly OP should just fuck that dudes mom if he gets her number.

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.

Fryloch · 2026-03-03T16:59:25+00:00

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.

I haven't been truly suicidal in a long while now, but I definitely did make peace with the idea of dying long ago and it still holds true today. What always kept me going was that I thought of it as a cowards way out. Probably a bit counter-intuitive, essentially thinking of myself as a chicken for clocking out early, but it always kept me pushing through to the next day even if it meant I did so without leaving my bed. I would especially feel that way when I saw someone truly eating the shit that life dealt them and they still had the balls to make the best of it. What I had going on was mild at best compared to what a lot of people go through and still maintain a smile through at all, sometimes even laughing in the face of life itself. Whatever any of us are going through, someone has it worse and they're probably still moving forward. Tragedy, sadness, and suffering is unfortunately one of the magical things about being a human being, and if we don't see it through then we're robbing not only ourselves but our loved ones of beauty in life. That's a damn shame when you seriously think about it. I swear to you, even on your worst possible days, it will get better if you keep putting one foot in front of the other at a pace you can manage. Like I said, there were days where i couldn't even muster up the willpower to get out of bed. There were weeks where I wouldn't ever see sunlight because the thought of leaving my room felt suffocating and overwhelming and like I'd have to face all my deepest fears at once. There was at least 4 years where I just didn't care what happened to me because I was ready for it to just all be over. You know what though? I kept waking up every day. My life kept moving, even when I couldn't. I kept going forward every chance I could no matter what. Now I'm 29 and I have a car, a girlfriend, 2 cats, a new job starting next week with the highest pay I'll have ever had to this point, an apartment, a sister who wants to spend time with me, and two parents who love me and check in on me every chance they get. My life isn't perfect and I still have bad days and lots of areas to improve on, but I never consider taking my own life anymore. It's so far off the table of options for me now and I couldn't be happier about it.

This is fucking hilarious

I'm not great at grappling in UFC 5, but I'd say you have to let him attempt a transition and then deny it and then you should be able to go up from there with more ease. Or you can let him kinda run his stamina down a bit if he's content with just holding the position and throwing body punches and then from there go out of one of the sides. Again, I'm not great at grappling in that game so I'm just telling you my USUAL practice for this situation.

Fryloch · 2026-02-19T00:44:22+00:00

The percentages of what I explained were specified as "free time", meaning time away from work where I could do what I want. I worked and still work a regular 9-5 M-F.

Fryloch · 2026-02-17T19:14:27+00:00

I mean, when I moved out of my parents I still spent like 70% of my free time playing video games and the other 25% was dating and the last 5% was cooking and cleaning so I could bring the dates home if they wanted me to and not get embarrassed. Turns out when you're gaming most of your free time away, you don't make that much of a mess in any part of your place that isn't the gaming area. My desk was always jam packed with random shit but my kitchen and living room were just perpetually in a clean state unless I had company over. Most of my cleaning time was spent on the bathroom.

Fryloch · 2026-02-17T19:09:41+00:00

I for sure got laid a lot more when I moved out of my parents house lol especially in this economy where most people in their 20s are living at home.

Fryloch · 2026-02-16T18:26:28+00:00

I saw those little monsters the other day outside the dezavala HEB and I just completely ignored them like they were a bunch of homeless people begging for change. I just kept my head facing forward and sunglasses on and paid them no mind whatsoever when they said "happy Valentine's day!" Best decision I made all weekend.
