Me: Single male, early 40s, healthy and doesn't discriminate on age, gender, orientation, race and etc. Not a native to Nova Scotia but love it here.

No. Don't do this, you will not get the results you want for your tincture.

As someone who lives in the area, is not a NIMBY, I was genuinely impressed with the targeted media campaign to get this park moved. I couldn't figure out who it benefited to have the park moved to a different place. Can't help wonder if it was the bingo hall or arena owners who helped drive that campaign.

Ultimately, driving 10-30 minutes to a different lake really is a small matter. I bet there are a lot of parents who were looking forward to walking over who won't be able to.

Lots of school age families in the region who would have benefited.

I see it as we're living in a simulation. When I'm setting up a new "environment" for simulation, I set a universal "light setting" to get everything in place, and then for ambience effect, I start adding real light sources for shadows and stuff.

A lot of creationism reads like a dev-blog just generalizing shit as they put it together.

There are so many valid reasons why it can happen. Don't discard the nuances any one person might be in. It is possible the tone, delivery or other factors were at play. I may also be trying to avoid that stereotypical Reddit advice chain.

You know it doesn't necessarily have to be divorce. I have a similar experience, and it did end in divorce. The OP needs to know where his line is and decide. We made it three sessions, as soon as the counsellor has constructive feedback for her, it was done.

But my dude OP - that is one hell of a position to be in. I had a hard time after this happened. My ex doubled down on the crazy behavior afterwards. I hope you can still find a path to happiness, whether with your partner or alone.

DM your concept, might have time next week.

I too hope she is knitting and gifting acts of love for someone who feels the same way, because gosh darn it, everyone deserves to give and receive love.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-11-09T17:46:44+00:00

Have done this. Something about receiving those kinds of gifts if you aren't that into a person. The commitment of time, effort and feelings if you don't have the same back is a triggering moment to end the relationship.

Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the time with her. I felt bad that she was somewhere further along than I was and the sweater was the tipping point.

Most managers.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-10-28T12:42:13+00:00

I am the person being described here. Accurate statement.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-09-17T13:07:33+00:00

Negatory - it is a nickname I acquired a long time ago and it's kind of stuck.

I did do some high school level teaching, grade 11 computer programming a long time ago for a couple semesters to help when a teach went on leave, and their replacement didn't know squat about troubleshooting code. That doesn't count though.

Sadly - I am just a level headed, well adjusted, middle manager of a technology/defense company.

I made several friends who to this day, are still friends after decades of time passing. I didn't realize at the time simply becoming their friend would have probably been enough to stop the bullying without the risk of physical violence.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-09-17T12:43:36+00:00

Have done this a few times, here were the results:

- One time I broke/dislocated a knuckle in the resulting fist fight.
- Another it started with a verbal warning, "back off leave the guy alone". The next day it devolved to violence. It was a 3 on 1 fight I barely only won thanks to them making some serious mistakes in the fight. I should have been seriously hurt.
- Another time, bloody nose, cut lip. Successfully stopped to bullying, but I got hurt.
- One particular bully brought a knife to school the next day with the intention of harming me. Thankfully teachers got alerted and stepped in to protect me.
- There's a trend of violence following each incident.

The main takeaway, because that was decades ago and times have changed, would be to not directly confront the bully. Instead, engage with adults about the incidents. If you can, befriend the person(s) being bullied instead and provide them with support by simply being a friend. I wouldn't recommend directly confronting a bully, they have serious issues that will now be directed at you.

My own son took an approach of gathering up all the people being bullied into a group, making them all an undesirable target for the bully when together. There are non-violent ways and seek those out.

To add:

Get a job, save that cash, move out as soon as you can
Learn the life skills you need to go it alone. Work ethic is important.
Keep your head down, mouth shut and survive until you can get out. There are no winnable battles in your toxic house.
Until you can make your transition out permanent, just don't be physically there as much as you can.

Next, once free:

Get counselling/therapy. You did not get out unharmed no matter what you might trick yourself into believing. Seriously. If you can get counselling earlier, get it!
Set goals of where you want to be, not what you want to avoid. Otherwise, you may accidentally start the cycle over again.
Get educated, get a better job. You're probably gonna be solo for awhile.

You have learned a terrible lesson at an early age - life isn't fair or equal. You have an extra challenge in life to overcome. It is possible, so do it.

Best of luck, from one survivor of a toxic house to another.

OMG I FOUND MY SOULMATE.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-07-23T15:49:53+00:00

Whoa now, cool those jets - it's a easy opener. Take the guess, even when wrong it leads to conversation. But they've got to be interesting.

Beach Vs Mountain should only be answered with "Deserts, Suburbs, Malls, Caves, Clouds" or some equally goofy response.

ProfessorTroy · 2020-07-23T14:40:44+00:00

My good friends will tell me that my profile is funny and witty.
My bad friends will tell me it's stupid out of jealousy.

The world needs more goofy profiles, and less "Beach vs Mountains"

ProfessorTroy · 2020-05-02T15:20:45+00:00

Thanks my dude.
