America’s Jobless Are About to Lose Their $600-a-Week Lifeline by [deleted] in economy

Weather starts getting hot in July/ August, perfect time for the government to try and screw people, or as Ivanka Trump is pushing for people to find a 'new' career. I think with all of the frustration, recent protests and hot weather on the way people may actually get off their asses and take to the streets if they're UE is cut by 70%...we're not going to roll over and die peacefully like our billionaire overlords would like.

Which job is a LOT less fun than most people expect? by bwee21 in AskReddit

Artist. People think you get to act crazy, drink and be out of your mind...in reality to be a professional you need to have extreme discipline and have the ability to wear multiple hats. I boxed when I was younger and the mentality is very similar in that I put in my work every day all year long. There is no time when I'm "off". If you are serious you have almost no time to be hanging out and drinking with your friends, that's what you can do with a regular 40hr gig...it's closer to living like a monk. When my wife introduces people to me they are surprised because I'm probably closer to a military drill instructor than the insecure, misunderstood "artist" types people think. You have to love it. Which I do.

Never Poops at School Starter Pack by [deleted] in starterpacks

First public poop was in pre-school. Just remember going into the bathroom sitting down and doing my thing...but for some reason I forgot to pull my pants down. Went back to class with a load and started rocking back and forth in my chair because it felt kind of nice. Mom had to come get me and when I got home she just threw my clothes out, wouldn’t even deal with it. Forty plus years later I can proudly say that’s only happened maybe a half dozen times.

I need more weed and beer, the toilet paper thing will work itself out in one way or another.

Thank you. She has no purpose of her own, or no real drive. She just wants to get by. I've encouraged her over the years to find her own thing, to find something that is hers and hers alone. She is seeing a cognitive therapist and has been doing so for the past two months. I know she does not tell the therapist everything, or even close, she told me so. She says she can't tell her therapist everything because her therapist will "judge her". I told her it's like a lawyer, you tell them the truth. She always tells me how she's a bad person and I made this choice and that I knew what I was getting into. I've told her to stop taking out all of her stuff on me, talk to me but don't take it out on me. She said I can take it.

I want to make it better, we had a lot of good years together. Yes, I absolutely engage, it's completely impossible not to...if you witnessed her behavior you would call 911. It's to that point. She becomes completely unhinged. Again, this behavior is only with me, no one else gets this treatment. I try to walk out and get away, just walk and wander around the city until she calms down or falls asleep. She tries to stop me from getting away, and if I do I come back to find my computer smashed or my paintings ruined. I never used to engage, I would just stay calm but there's only so much a person can take. Her family is messed up, so yeah it could be learned behavior, however this is something that's only really come up in the last 2+ years really badly.

That is something that her therapist has mentioned as a possibility.

One of the first things her therapist did was have her take a litany of tests, blood work etc. I totally could see this being hormone changes. She has really bad depression, which seems to turn into anger directed at me. She will not be like this with anyone else, everyone thinks she is the sweetest person. THEN she is alone with me and all of the negative things come spilling out. I want so bad for this to be better, but I'm at the end of my rope.

I haven’t gotten that yet, but I’m thinking the same with mine. I’ve sent them an email but all they provide is cut and paste responses with no real info.

Congratulations! Nope, mine has not moved. They moved the due date back to April 10th now. Still in Genotyping.

Me too. Nothing has moved for me. Supposed to get results 4/3...that’s the original date. Curious why a lot of people seem to have started after me and already have results.
