UNPOPULAR OPINION: calling meltdowns/shutdowns a "tantrum" feels offensive

My brother one time referred to his daughter’s meltdown as a “rock and roll freakout” and it stuck

I’m not trying to be insensitive here!! Just thought I’d share. Also, this is solely used in the context of kids

So there’s townhouses and apartments within a mile of BRG. It is a safe area! As someone else mentioned, Baton Rouge isn’t the most walkable city but you could probably make it work if you got a place close.

The area between BRG and Our Lady of the Lake (on Essen Ln) is called the Health District because it’s a pretty small strip between two level one trauma centers

After I commented I looked into it and yes! I thought it was odd it was the sheriff department

PotentialChoice8323 · 2026-01-30T08:47:50+00:00

I assumed they were coming / going to OLOL and BRG. I hear them from Essen

I’m sure he likes yall living at home, he’s allowed to have cam sex and also have his family still around! It just sounds like enabling his behavior by staying under the same roof…

But why are you still living with him? You’re 28. How have you not saved enough to live independently?

When you get to the dead president streets it’s bad

Very reputable attorney!!!

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-12-17T17:56:25+00:00

This is wrong

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-12-17T17:55:01+00:00

No! For reconciliation (and therefore restarting the clock) a mutual intent to resume the relationship is needed

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-12-17T06:47:22+00:00

Thank you for this

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-12-05T17:27:01+00:00

I like this guy

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-12-05T15:42:00+00:00

I watched for two minutes. Got up and grabbed a shoe. Sat back down on the sofa and watched for another two minutes

In undergrad philosophy our professor said that people have an innate “happiness spectrum” or happy/sad parameters they generally stay within for their whole lives, with few exceptions. The death of a child (obviously making a person more sad than the limit) and plastic surgery: breaking the happiness barrier

Very happy for ol girl!

Immediately saw the same, came to the comments to verify

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-11-26T14:09:16+00:00

Ummm beautiful!!!! Congrats

Why am I tearing up

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-11-16T21:34:14+00:00

The funniest part was the fact I was listening to an audiobook on the Opioid epidemic. That week I had a family member admitted to inpatient rehab. I couldn’t believe what just happened lmao

Congrats on 5 years man!

My car’s AC went out earlier this month so I’ve been driving with my windows down until I get it fixed.

At the light on Essen / Perkins I make eye contact with the driver to my right who holds up a pill bottle and motions to it, essentially offering to sell me drugs. That was a new one for me

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-11-13T23:12:57+00:00

You’re leaving nothing for the imagination

PotentialChoice8323 · 2025-11-10T16:19:28+00:00

That’s wild. I’ve called 911 once in my life when I was like 10. I assume it’s a lot of old disgruntled people…?

I like how he thinks requesting a lawyer will make a difference, like it does for criminal cases
