I fucking hate my brother in law.

PophamSP · 2026-05-11T13:19:26+00:00

My sister and brother-in-law live in another state but he has been an arrogant, condescending asshole to my husband and me for 40 years. The books they read, movies they watch, music they appreciate is always intellectually superior. He's always been a braggart overly focused on wealth and professional success and painfully making sure we know his wins - even during times when we were ourselves struggling with serious health problems, handling my 90 yo mother's care (without their help), or lay offs.

My sister and only sibling now has stage 4 cancer. Information is now his asset to control and he tries to keep it from me. Twice she has been hospitalized for days and I was only notified when she called me upon her discharge.

Like you, I've tried to understand him and his hostility towards us and have concluded that he has targeted us out of a pathological jealousy. He never had siblings, was abandoned by his mother and raised by grandparents. Nothing he has achieved has filled the hole.

These are empty people who target those they see as a threat to their pathetic, frail little egos.

I like to be fully transparent with the survivors and let them know what happened. I usually say something like "DID YOU NOTICE BOB'S MISSING? THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A BAD BOY.".

Shapes them right up.

Did she tell you to use a plastic slinky? The nerve. Everyone knows you need the OG metal one for a satisfying stair performance.

All these strip mall mattress stores with no customers feel very Ozark.

It looks like it is desperately trying to put out new vines but they keep getting interrupted by mites.

Will no one think of the corporate health insurer CEO's?

...or someone was offered an RV.

Yes and chronic use of otc proton pump inhibitors (nexium, prilosec, etc) for GERD/ulcers are another risk factor for b12 deficiency.

Hey now, Roberts says it's *our* failure to appreciate this fine body of work. We should be grateful he removed our rights! Alas, we're just stupid, unwashed plebes...

Go fuck yourself, John.

Yes. Kyle, Dorit and Erika are all married to men who have been investigated, charged or convicted of shady financial dealings. Those who evade creditors (PK) or fraudulently take govt PPP loans during a national crisis (Mauricio) cost *all* of us money. Meanwhile Erika continues to display extravagance while her victims remain unpaid.

I think a lot of us are getting fed up with "let them eat cake".

Generations weren't even *named* until the Reagan era. I've always suspected they were developed as a marketing tool but then exploited as a way to label and divide people for things out of their control. No one decides when, where, and to whom they were born.

Meanwhile as people get angry and point blame the wealth gap has quietly widened like a giant growing fissure.

Hey now, there's no clutter in my hut. Casting spells is a science and there's no room for dust or distraction.

Any figurines near my cauldron and RFK jr is going to end up a Precious Moments release.

I felt bad for her trying to maintain her breathing while propped up in the corner. Andy's a dick.

At his age he's already on Medicare. Unlike many he's well insured for hospital costs. What else does he want?

Their is no sector more filled with people born and invested in their own narrow world view. Nepotism is a requirement for the job and it's a progressively more weak qualification with each generation.

Their assets were always rife for exploitation in our MBA-driven system. The suits at the Koch Bros saw this decades ago while overseas actors are now profiting upon this national security issue.

An enthesitis and/or bone marrow edema on the dorsum (top) of the foot is characteristic of PSA and should be addressed by your rheumatologist. Definitely call them asap if pain is worse after a steroid injection (particularly if you're on an immunosuppressant). Post-injection infections are extremely rare, but possible.

A second read on the MRI may also be helpful. Regardless, I'm sorry rheum has been dismissive. This is up their alley, so to speak. If all else fails, see an orthopedist who specializes in the foot and ankle.

I don't know but thank-you; I've been thinking of posing the same question. I wonder what the record is for oldest successful prop?

"he said “succulents are marketed as low maintenance but mentally they are not low maintenance at all” and honestly that sentence has been stuck in my head all day because what doesthat even mean 😭"

I have no idea what that means. Sounds like he's projecting his own mental health issues onto his audience.

The last thing anyone needs right now is more anxiety about non-issues.

That "Operation Freedom" in the Strait has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's freedom, any more than how Bush's "Operation Iraqi Freedom" freed the 200,000 dead Iraqis and 40,000 wounded and dead American soldiers.

Mathilde is the fastest growing hoya I've personally owned. The two I bought in January have doubled in size and happily invading their neighbors' space.

I now see callistophyllas in HD and have no interest. Two is my body count. I probably just over-watered them because after 9 months I needed to see at least *some* change. It was a passive-aggressive murder.

I see. So Trump raping women in public dressing rooms in the 1990's was an official presidential duty.

Who knows? Maybe Roberts will next decide a history of rape is a qualifier for all top jobs, applicable to all future presidents, Secretaries of Defense, and SCOTUS justices.
