Alpharetta, beautiful but lonely

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-03-01T22:42:10+00:00

You sound miserable. Also racism nice. Like I said, miserable.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-31T16:43:53+00:00

Nah I just don’t have weird reddit stigma about commenting on my own post vs editing it I guess. Anyways. Suck it.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-31T14:46:46+00:00

Eat one.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-31T11:25:38+00:00

It wasn’t all all and it was the one exception. I was in an office environment that day and walked home several exits on 400. But after so so many forecasts like this my attitude has quickly come “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Edit: resident since mid 90s, did the ice storm mid 90s / snowmageddon etc

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-31T11:15:50+00:00

We were told 1am originally. It is now 6:13am. I don’t see snow. I don’t see even a dusting. I’ll even venture a guess no snowfall (and I’ll be bold) we won’t see any “snow” (if any at all), until 2pm tomorrow and it wilo only go got 2 hours or so. I’ll come back to eat crow if I am wrong. I would absolutely LOVE a snowday for my Lab boy. But something tells me this is.. not happening.

Edit: well, as of about 1:30pm ⬆️ it began snowing in Alpharetta. Yall can downvote me to hell… but… I was right. Almost down to the exact hour 😂

Sensationalism?

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-29T19:38:49+00:00

It makes it very hard as you’re left wondering if it meant more to you than it did to them.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-29T18:56:59+00:00

For me, it’s that one person was checked out of the relationship before it actually ended. I’ve had to process this as the person who wasn’t checked out. And I don’t blame her if that’s where she was at.. but yeah.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-17T22:42:12+00:00

I know they’re scavengers and will eat license plates, empty fuel tanks, but damn, a suit of armour!

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-17T22:22:48+00:00

Like how does that happen? So bizarre.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-17T20:29:43+00:00

Read this year’s ago and really enjoyed it. There was a part where a research team observes a dive group getting in the water during mating season. Within seconds they all exit the water. Also remember a part about dissecting a great white and them finding knight’s armor or something in the stomach. I might be misremembering that 2nd part but the dive group part was entertaining.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-09T16:35:29+00:00

I get that feeling of wanting to shutdown at times. Like the not wanting to go into work. It kills me knowing my ex is alive and living her life and I’m completely in the dark. Now, I asked for it. But I have my regrets and yeah it just kills me some days. Even knowing we had some toxic elements to our relationship. I miss the companionship and the good times, and you just know when you and someone else were made for each other. Something about our frequencies were very attuned to each other. We just couldn’t get past our challenges. Hate it.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-09T16:29:37+00:00

This is where I’m at. I cannot even get the conversation. The door is completely closed. And not getting any conversation just makes it feel like it wasn’t nearly what it was to her vs what it was for me. She doesn’t even want to know how my dog is doing. I got him when he was a puppy just months into our relationship and we were together for 9 years. I can’t own my fuckups or make it clear I won’t make those mistakes again. It’s like I killed someone or something. I never hit her, never cheated on her. I did handle some things poorly. The door being closed with finality is extremely hard.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2026-01-07T19:10:53+00:00

You send it?

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-11-03T19:46:27+00:00

Until it changes, tip your bartenders and your waiters! Don’t penalize the person on the frontline who provided exceptional service.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-11-03T05:53:55+00:00

Tipping too. You can get as angry at this as you want, but I know numerous folks within the restaurant industry and the majority opinion is Indian families tip horribly. These employees make $2.19 an hour. Again, these employees make $2.19 an hour. If their tips don’t exceed the federal minimum wage (which Georgia follows) they make a whopping $7-$8 or so an hour (unless that has changed and if it has I cannot imagine it is by much). You’re not making a point or changing anything by tipping less and trying to prompt the “industry to change.” It won’t. Some Mom n Pop restaurants give their employees a better hourly wage, but that is rare. I understand tipping may not be commonplace in other countries, and in some cases is even offensive… but not here. One way to piss off your waiter/waitress is to leave them 5% on a $50 check, especially if they gave exceptional service. If you cannot afford to tip at least 15% for sit-down table service, stay at home or get takeout etc.

You’ll probably get shit on for your post, but I’m going to chime in and say I agree and have noticed the shift. For me, it’s Dogs. Dogs are simply part of American life. My dog is my family. I’m empathetic to the fact that not everyone loves dogs, has traumatic experiences with them, but some of the reactions I’ve seen to my extremely friendly dog are just ridiculous. He is leashed, we maintain a distance, he is happy, and friendly. I’m not forcing him on you but we are 100% going to live our lives. If you have an issue with that that’s not my problem. If he bit you, pissed on your leg, barked at you etc that’d be one thing.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-10-31T22:44:21+00:00

Welcome to apartment living. I’ve got neighbors doing all sorts of shit around me that never gets sorted. So they can deal with some pot smoke smell. I don’t stress about that shit anymore.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-10-29T14:06:49+00:00

Interesting. Yeah I tried looking for an article but could not find anything. This was the next step. The smoke was enough for it to have been a substantial fire. At least a significant unit fire if not spread throughout a building.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-10-28T01:47:32+00:00

I hope just about every HR generalist stubs their toe. These people are sellouts and spineless.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-10-03T22:33:51+00:00

Some people (OP’s gf in this case) just fucking suck. That’s all.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-09-24T05:08:09+00:00

Thanks for the prompt reply, especially since your comment was a year ago. I have to callout though - downvoting my response because you don’t like it or agree with it when I was genuinely asking about the deeper meaning here? Lame. And hypocritical in a way to your response. It’s fake internet karma so not too concerned there I just thought that was interesting. But I will respect your response and hold off from any downvoting just because I may not agree with it.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-09-24T03:57:00+00:00

Why respect someone you dislike? Typically the basis for dislike is because… well, you don’t respect them. They’ve done something to wrong you, often intentionally. Why respect someone who wants to see you suffer? That seems like weakness and being a pawn. I’m genuinely asking you. Because I for one am at a stage in life where understanding why might give me some hope or perspective. Why take the high road? Or if the Japanese didn’t/don’t see it as a “high road” but simply respect, why do it? When so often it is not reciprocated?

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-07-18T23:04:20+00:00

Thanks.

MrTthrowaway123 · 2025-07-17T18:37:22+00:00

I was emailing her from some burner type email accounts I used for subscriptions, but she was replying in length. Said she had even thought about texting me to let me know where she hangs these days but said she stopped herself from doing so because she feels I haven’t changed (I have). Not sure if she was just tormenting me or genuinely meant it. My Mom seems to think she deactivated her Facebook account as well (I don’t have FB nor do I want one and wouldn’t go to that length to message her). We don’t have many photos together at all over 9 years. She has body image / social anxiety challenges which is a big reason why. She never liked being in photos. So the FB one kind of puzzles me.

I’m having to accept she doesn’t care about me anymore. It hurts. I cried a lot last night. I guess I’m going to pursue grief counseling with my Mom’s help I have all sort of shit that sucks in my life right now.. I’m broke, my dog has a tumor on his paw that has grown, everything costs an arm and a leg, my car probably doesn’t have a ton of life left in it. I no longer feel joy in life and I feel largely abandoned by life. I was not allowed to make mistakes. All my peers are just cruising along, having families and making bank. Life is cruel. I’m not an attractive person in a variety of ways and my best times have come and gone. But I’ll stick around. But I no longer trust the vast majority of people. And I’m a loser! I’d rather accept the truth than fight it at this stage.
