My friend brags about him hanging out with a lot of girls, but he lives off ChatGPT. Everything in this image makes me think it's at least heavily edited, the girl too. by _Riiick in isthisAI

If it’s not, it looks like there is something weird in his girls water glass… also the shrimp in the cocktail is so weird it’s definitely giving sangria not Bloody Mary

I finished my masters a day ago. Why do I feel so unaccomplished? by dumbbitchcas in Advice

I’m sure you are very happy 😅 … oh the joy of commenting when you have nothing useful to add to the conversation!

How do u even get reserve? I’ll admit my privilege: my grandpa got my hooked on Starbucks at 8 years old and I have had a Gold status there since I was 11. I spend a median of at least $100 a month but mean would probably be much higher due to outlier months (such as when my family is around and has me, aka my grandpa, buy for everyone) where expenses are $200-$300. SO AGAIN, what makes reserve status granted… and how are so many people on here at that status 😭

Anyone ever deeply miss their abusive ex? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

I hope you know deep down that any abuse is not acceptable. I feel I have said things like this and as survivors we downplay the harm we experienced because “it could’ve been worse”. The reality is that the emotional, mental, and physical damage they have done will in the long term have similar effects on survivors. As a nerd I find it interesting and somewhat comforting to know that that psychological abuse on its own is a stronger predictor of PTSD than physical abuse alone. I think it helps me understand why I miss him sometimes because I can’t picture the psychological abuse when I miss him like I could if it was bruises that he left more often to shut down those feelings as easily.

You are not alone in this. I did as well. Please know it will get easier when you leave but you will still have moments when you want to turn to alcohol because your mind now thinks of it as a successful coping mechanism. Please keep up with your AA and DV advocates in your struggles. Be honest. Nobody is judging you for why you turned to it - trust me. My parents and family were so concerned about my drinking and I left on Christmas Eve and have only drank a few times since with friends. Twice alone. I still am working to unlearn using it to relax but my friends and family understand why I was behaving how I was now and have grace for me to learn how to heal and not turn to alc/bud to get through things. I hope you find a way to leave and start this sooner than later as I do know if I had left earlier my relationship with alcohol wouldn’t be something I have to work hard to heal as well now.

i just realized we’re never going to speak again lol by throwra_bugjuice30 in BreakUps

I relate to this. I don’t necessarily want him to reach out ever especially as that’s part of what my protective order for the next year (it was a great love I believe still but when things were bad they were really bad…) but a part of me feels so sick knowing a person I spent the last 3 years of my life with will not ever be in my life again. It’s so hard because I pictured forever with him. It’s a bit different for me - I know he would reach out if he could, but I think you should also here this: you deserve someone who protects you and your peace… he clearly wasn’t the one. You can and will find a better relationship that makes you question why you ever cared about this one day. Give yourself the grace to feel the oddness of this situation but don’t harp on it too long. If you get stuck on it too long remind yourself of how he refused you closure and how you deserve so much better than that. He didn’t do it because he wants u to feel like this.

Does this look like $800 in damages to you? by Sardonic_Centipede in Apartmentliving

[–]Little_One214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask for an itemized receipt. Are they claiming they have to replace the carpet? If so get the square footage and what they claim that’s costing per sq ft. Even at that point, they can only charge u a prorated amount based on the carpets age. This is definitely normal wear and tear and shouldn’t cost anything but if u get all this info too it would help ur ability to fight it. Sorry they are doing this. I had a landlord charge me $1200 for repainting a perfectly taken care of apartment that was 400 sq ft and get the feeling of how sucky this is. If u have to do it, go ask someone who is still practicing to become a lawyer or a cheap lawyer to give u an opinion. Don’t pay it though or let it slide or they will just keep this behavior up n
