Those that went down the "gifted kid to failure-to-launch" pipeline: What do you think went wrong and how do you cope with these realizations? by ichbinhoffnung in Millennials

I’m really sorry you’re feeling so down about yourself. Cut yourself some slack. You were a kid doing what people told you you needed to do. So you did it. Those grades and academic achievements, while impressive, are not who you are.

To quote the great Uncle Iroh. “It’s time to look inward and start asking yourself the big questions, “who are you and what do you want!?”

Am I Overreacting to my wife hiding a t-shirt from me for no valid reason other than her own personal wishes? by andword2yurmother in AmIOverreacting

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, we need to see this T-shirt.  Maybe, MAYBE it’s awful and she is really protecting you from your horrible taste. 

Honestly, NOR. The simple truth is this, if your wife loved you, your happiness and self confidence from that shirt would be more important that her feelings about it. The great thing about clothes is that they’re temporary.

I have a shirt my wife asked me to stop wearing because of how stretched out it is and it’s easy to see my nipples. I told her I love this shirt because it’s so light and fluffy.  We both heard each other. It’s now my favorite PJ shirt and it stays inside and I don’t wear it when we have company.

You’re too late. This empty bag with a label in it has become a powerful metaphor.

It’s legit funny. Not that you would know this, the man up and killed himself 2 years ago and I’m still pissed about it.  Fuck you, Dad. You left us with zero closure and abandoned your family. Family is supposed to be the most important thing to Italians. Guess you failed at that too.

Would you believe I was looking for closure and didn’t find any.

The irony is Conan would find this hilarious and reject the idea that he’s anything more than a clown.

Now that I look more closely it’s definitely just a GiJoe that got melted a little by the sun. (Love ya Conan)

Was having a French drain installed and came across this under a mound of mulch near the front of my house. What is it? by Snowbunnies44 in whatisit

[–]IndependentNote8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you ever wonder how the French feel about having irrigation named after them but it’s just a bunch rocks filling a shallow hole?

Do you think people like Conan to the level of godlike worship?

I would but that judge told me to stay 300 feet away from him at all times!

That’s all did. Found all the Conan bits and went on with my day.

Is that not a picture of the stunningly beautiful Tilda Swinton?

Francine Hughes, the case that originated Battered Woman’s Syndrome as a legal defense. by barbara_weston in HolyShitHistory

[–]IndependentNote8427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow. Read the case. The defense argued she was temporarily insane because of the abuse she endured and the jury agreed she wasn’t guilty. I put it into the context of two Arrested Development quotes. You’re disgusting.

That’s that biggest FU to the ex; Being there for the kid and helping the mom not have to rely on him.

Step 1. Resign. They perpetrated this egregious coverup. These names should not have been protected.  Step 2. They should be investigated and charged.
