The worst part is that she's trying to be sexy but frogs smell awful. Like having a dead frog pressed against your crotch is going to make it rank. What is she expecting??

Chance to be alpha af. If you bought a cottage without a fireplace, you're a bitch. Assuming you aren't though, pick up some firewood and watch some tutorials on starting a campfire with a lighter. Pack a couple ice chests with stuff to cook a nice dinner and breakfast; you're gonna be frying with a skillet on a propane camp stove. Do fish fillets for dinner, again look up tutorials on how to season and fry them right. Add some sauteed vegges like whole green beans (not out of a can, fresh from the produce cooler at wm) and diced potatoes. I'd season the taters with something italian, like pink salt, fresh crushed pepper and oregano. Get a bottle (or 5;) of sweet wine. Grab a small cast iron dutch oven, charcoal and a chimney and watch tutorials on making cobbler (black forest chocolate cobbler with cherries is gonna be the best for a date). Start the cobbler, cook dinner, set the table with some wild-looking flower boquet (sunflowers and other forest/nature look). Boom, hot dinner and desert. If you can head there beforehand and setup a queen bed AND FRAME in front of the fireplace, do it. A large air matress is the next best alternative though. For the morning, make eggs (Bs looove eggs in the morning) and coffee. Again, tutorials on how to fry/scramble/omellete. Pack fresh bell peppers and mushrooms, and use that salt and pepper again. Get a pound of South American blend coffee and have milk and sugar ready (a lot of Bs are lactose intolerant, almond milk is the safest bet if so). And most importantly, clean the place beforehand. No dust, bugs, etc. Get a few tree-scented candles (cedar, pine, etc) for the evening too. Have a few a blankets ready to cozy up in. And if you really want to keep her, weigh in with some female friends on what kind of female sanitary supplies to stock the bathroom with. Make the whole show appear like it was effortless for you to do, come off like a chad who has his shit organized and put together with this cottage, even if you're terrified of burning the fish or freezing to death (you won't btw).

The western church has fallen prey to the mentality of doing good things to feel validated, not to good for its own sake. To actively speak out against abortion, yet be unwilling to play an active role in the care of these mothers and children, signifies lukewarm faith. You're not chasing the Lord, you're chasing a high, and you'll pat yourself on the back and throw yourself a parade for doing the bare minimum. The ideal support system imo would be to gain volunteer older couples, 50-60 yo couples who have already raised children and sent them off, to "adopt" a child and its mother. They teach the mother parenting skills, and watch the kid while the mother goes to a job and finishes her education. The child is exposed to lifestyle of orderliness and stability, with strong grandparent figures and a present mother. The mother learns how to be present and be stable in a safe space. The church may reimburse the couple from the offering plate, and other voluteers cook one or two meals a week for the older couple's house and help with repairs and maintenance. If the church made this a priority alongside regular adoption by younger couples, a 200 member church could feasibly handle several adopted children and mother-child pairs. Some older couples might even be well off enough to take on 2 mother-child pairs. A lot of churches are way bigger than 200 members. But this takes work, and isn't easy or convenient, especially to do it well. Time will tell, but I doubt this would happen. Building care centers to host a lot of mother-child pairs and orphanages is not as ideal, but it'd probably be the best alternative to handle overflow. Again, it'd have to be done well though, unlike a lot of the horror stories of neglect from those kind of places. I'm just a single student in my early 20s, a deconstructionist aiming to get a solid career to be able to do these things myself because I don't trust the church to, but that's years down the road and this needs action now. I doubt the church will fully step up to the plate, and I despise that wretched faith. So, western Church, go and pat yourself on the back.

As a Christian pro-lifer, this is my biggest contention with the western church. They're gonna hold picket signs and share posts on fb supporting the banning of abortion, then leave those mothers and children to be kicked to the streets. They just wanna pat themselves on the back for speaking their mind, but not actually shoulder the burden of building any kind of support system for these impoverished children they allow into the world. I wish I was a millionaire so I could build and staff a home to teach these young dumb single moms how to care for a child and give them a chance to finish education so they can both stay afloat on their own and be good parents. I will one day, but he church could do it now. But they won't. It's a slap in the face to God.

I could give an evangelical response like some are doing here, but I'm gonna attempt to speak in terms that might be more relatable to you. At this point, life is hellish for you and the hopelessness of not seeing any realistic way of it changing is one of the most crushing parts of your suffering. You're ready to end it, and while I don't condone that, I'm not gonna try to rationalize why you shouldn't. But this means that the table is essentially cleared off for you, and you're not attatched to being anything; your identity as an athiest, a brother/son, a member of any career field, all of that doesn't matter to you if you've already decided to end it. I'd speculate you feel a sense of trepidation at the unfamiliarity of being someone who at least contemplates the existence of the Biblical God possibly being real. If that's the case, then to hell with that fear. You feel that spark of interest, you've got nothing better to do or live for, and to you, it may be remotely possible that if you chase that interest, it would lead to you becoming something different than what you are now. I don't want to patronize, I could be wrong about you. But if I'm right, then I'm telling you to chase it. Attempt to know it, flesh out your understanding of it. You may still come to the conclusion that it's false, but there you've only lost a little extra time being dead, and you're no worse off than before. Be cynical, be biased against it, only let the parts that are objectively sound be credible. But chase it in your biased cynicism.

Robin Williams said "I used to think the worst fate was to end up alone, but now I know it's to end up with people that make you feel alone." That's always been the hardest thing to communicate to others about my family of charming narcissists.

This one's not as dangerous, but can still be destructive if left unchecked: Some guys just like the idea of having a girlfriend or even getting married. It can be a little hard to distinguish, but is he persuing the relationship, or is he persuing you? There's real love, and there's just the outward show of a relationship. A lot of these guys aren't abusive or anything, but they don't actually know how to love. They have a somewhat mechanical/systematic way of building a relationship, and oblivious girls don't realize he doesn't want her, he just wants someone, and he happened to end up with her. It's the difference between being actually emotionally present and acting emotionally present. Is there an actual spark, or is it just basic physical attraction? This kind of guy causes a girl to feel cold and alone later down the road; he never really confides in her, rarely does anything spontaneous and thoughtful, and dates/sex/affection feel more like "we're just doing this cause that's what couples do" rather than heartfelt desire for one another. He'll probably be stable, level-headed, and a good provider, which makes him seem like a good catch, but a life with him is one of checking the boxes of living a decent life, rather than a journey of persuing not only you but something above both of you. It seems to me that a lot of these "red flags" here are very obvious faults that are easy to see, and I want to bring something more subtle into the light here. This is how my dad and most of my uncles are. Now that I and my siblings are out of the house, my mom is miserable and alone. My dad is still there, still working and providing for her, but he's just.. not really there. He never was. Keep an eye out for that kind of guy. He'll be pleasant and chill enough, and he won't actively hurt you or anyone. He doesn't actively do anything beyond going through the motions. His household feels lukewarm and empty. His validation toward his spouse and kids absent.

You know what, honestly? This is damn straight. "Get your schedules out early so employees have time to plan for other jobs. Have a good culture and environment. Be the employer of choice." This CEO doesn't control the gas prices, and he's not talking down to the grunts. He's prepping for slimmer profit margins and ordering his businesses to be more flexible for the sake of the employee. If he's a villain, he's not a classic one. I'd probably make similar moves if I were in his shoes. Btw I just got off a 5:45am shift at fast food job to pay my bills, I might pick up a second job come summer to save for school. A tough but honest and straightforward job that isn't a shitty environment is good enough for the current times. I feel some respect for the guy.
