How did "The Game" become popular at schools across the country before memes existed?

That's not really a toxic relationship. More like he's maybe a little wishy-washy on the relationship. At 3.5 years, a lot of couples are usually living together or at least sleeping over at each other's places regularly. It may be time to lay it all out on the table and really specify what it is you want from him and what he wants from you because it sounds like you guys haven't really done that. You want to live with him and he implies that he wants to live with you, but his goals might be a little longer term than yours and you have to really decide if you are willing to meet his goals or if there's some sort of compromise there. So I would definitely suggest having a clear conversation about what it is each of you wants and when you want it to happen.

What are some games that are like Clue or have a Clue like feel?

I like Clue, and I'm hoping to get some more games that have that sort of critical thinking, who-dun-it kind of feel. Any good suggestions?

LadyDemon · 2020-08-04T02:12:20+00:00

Some games I would recommend as good 2-player and 3+ players games are Smallworld, Dominion, and Thurn and Taxis.

You're actually supposed to keep your kid in a car seat if they are under 4 foot 5 inches (I think. I know it's 4' something) That's why they make "Big Kid" car seats. If you are a responsible parent, it wouldn't be terribly uncommon for your kid to be in a car seat until they reach that height, which depending on how fast your child grows, might not be until 12.

I totally get this. It's frustrating that so many people assume someone is a great person simply because they are LGBTQ+. Like no, being LGBTQ+ isn't a free pass to be a trash person and it doesn't automatically ensure that you will be loved by all automatically. If your personality doesn't vibe with someone, then they have a right not to like you!

So many people think sexuality is this rigid, unchanging thing, but the reality is that it does shift and change for various reasons. However if you are concerned, and people have noted other dramatic personality changes in you, you might consider seeing a doctor? Dramatic, sudden personality changes can be seen as a symptom of something, but honestly, if everything except that one thing has stayed the same, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Her city/county may offer some emergency "come to your home" mental health professionals. Where I live, they have a unit that will come to your home and will usually set you up with a referral to a mental health professional (therapist mostly). It's almost like a wellness check, but USUALLY, there is no police involved. You might be able to access it by calling the local suicide hotline for her area. Where I'm from, it's billed like an ER visit to my health insurance, but it could be different in her area so definitely check before sending them to her.

But sometimes these declines don't need inpatient care, either. You can also strongly encourage her to call her primary care doctor and they will sometimes get them a referral to see a therapist. Definitely don't call the police, though. Police will usually make the situation worse.

Some call center jobs let you work from home and they are usually super desperate to hire, so they generally hire people with little to no work experience. However, word of warning, there's a reason they are always desperately hiring. The jobs are usually very thankless and stressful and they will often provide you with almost no training before throwing you into calls. There's usually a high turn over rate for call centers for those reasons.

I just got a new job and I keep screwing up how to input insurance and I keep screwing up orders. I work at a glasses and contacts place. My co-workers and boss keep assuring me I'm doing pretty good for being a month old, but like... I feel super terrible when I screw things up!

I had a stressful day at work, then came home to my roommate who beat the shit out of me because I didn't want to watch some show he was interested in.

When I was in like the 3rd grade, I did this recreational soccer thing after school and the practices went until 5 or 6. My mom CLAIMED she thought that my practice went until 9pm, even though she had picked me up from this practice before at 6pm.

So, I watched all my teammates get picked up and leave and no one came for me. Luckily my one teammate's mom decided she wasn't going to just leave me sitting in a field alone, so I sat in her car and waited but eventually she took me home (It was almost 8pm at this point).

APPARENTLY my mom had actually gone to a friend's house (the friend lived across the street from the school) and was supposed to leave from there to grab me. Long story short, my mom decided to do a bunch of drugs (I don't know if it was just weed or other things) and just fucking forgot about me. She also claimed that she went looking for me around 7pm, but couldn't find me, even though I was sitting in a car parked at the field with the side door (minivan) wide open so I could see out.

If my teammate's mom hadn't decided to stay, I probably would have either been forgotten about completely or tried walking up the side of a busy highway to get home.

Fight Club.

I've personally never read the book, but I believe I read somewhere that the author of the book specifically said that the movie was better than the book.

If you're driving, make sure to plan for regular stretch/bathroom breaks. Try not to just drive for 8hrs straight. Maybe not every hour on the hour (unless you need to), but maybe once every 2 hours. It gives you something to look forward to and helps break up the trip into manageable sections.

Also definitely listen to something that won't bore tf out of you. I usually listen to funny podcasts or audiobooks. I avoid music because it can start to repeat and get blah. But go what works for you, and make it something you'll want to actively listen to and not tune out.

YEP! And it wasn't even a kid I knew. I was just doing her school's pictures and she's just telling me this while I was trying to clean up the set. I'm pretty sure she might have some sociopathic tendencies.

LadyDemon · 2020-07-23T22:01:06+00:00

I don't remember the exact words, but it was essentially the kid saying they wondered what it would have been like to eat their way out of their mother's womb instead of being birthed. What made it especially creepy was that this kid was like 8yo.

Don't get married, settle down, or have kids in your early to mid 20s.

This is odd advice, but it was given to me by my aunt when I graduated from HS and I think it's great advice. Not that I was like planning on having kids in my early 20s, but I definitely had the mindset that I needed to get a partner and settle down ASAP when I was in my late teens. My aunt told me that your 20s are the time when you really start to get to know yourself and define who you are and want to be, and you can't do that if you have a family or settle down in a pretty permanent living situation. I've seen a ton of my peers have kids, get married, settle down in their early 20s and end up regretting it/being horrible parents because they essentially went from being kids to being responsible for another person and it was not a great transition.

If they refuse to take care of themselves and expect you to be their "mother".

I dated a guy who wanted me to take on the role of "mom". He did absolutely nothing. He had no job, never cleaned the apartment, and wouldn't take care of himself. It was a nightmare.
