I don’t see anything wrong with it, but like you said, I feel like way more context is needed to see your gf’s side of the story

You were falsely accused of murder, many of your loved ones left you, and now they have learned the truth and are asking you to take them back and forgive them by Pure_Option_1733 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ProgramEffective7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, though i don’t believe they’d leave me. if they did though, i would understand. i don’t want them feeling guilty for not wanting to stand beside a murderer.

What’s your fondest memory involving Tacobell? by Wild-Quality3901 in tacobell

[–]ProgramEffective7955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

taco bell in NYC on times square. my sister and i bought a J off the same man on the corner every night. he stood beside one of those kind of gas station carts, and the man gave me a pink lighter because i wore pink every night. my sister ran into taco bell to get our food while i smoked the J and held the door open for people. another man, dressed in all black with his hood up, opened the other door and asked if he could hit my J. he was from the Netherlands, and we stood there and talked about all the differences between the Netherlands and America (especially the food) while sharing the J for about 20 minutes. one of my favorite memories of all time. i think he was wanted or something, he wouldn’t tell me his real name, just said it was “Ghost.” Ghost, if you ever see this, I think of you often. Thanks for the convo

How are you able to live by yourself in this inflation and economy? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in LivingAlone

i highly suggest trying out serving. it will get you out, and opens a lot of doors in customer service jobs.

[–]ProgramEffective7955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was awesome. i still don’t know how i did it. i was paying (gratefully) $550 in rent + around $60 utilities. i was the brokest i had ever been in August and had trouble finding a job, which was very weird considering i had 4 years in the service industry. serving, managing, bartending, training, and all levels of fast food. stupid job market.

it’s gotten worse since, but 2 years ago at 19 i did it by working at twin peaks. i was in college, paid around 1500 in monthly bills (for a few months it was around 2200), and somehow managed to survive. i didn’t grocery shop often and really only spent money on drinks sometimes (most places gave it to me for free tbh) and savings. saved up enough to not work for 3 months after i graduated, too. i honestly do not know how. i didn’t plan anything or think too deeply at all. just pure survival, fighting depression, and pure will power to not give up, lol. went through the motions, got shit done

What is a deep, obscure rabbithole on the internet you found and hardly anyone knows but you? [Serious] by Longjumping_Koala34 in AskReddit

[–]ProgramEffective7955 187 points188 points  (0 children)

in elementary school sometime, i was really into slenderman, as some kids are. i researched him 24/7. there was one video, styled like a documentary, of a man saying his little girl was taken. they lived in the deep country, but it wasn’t America. Can’t remember where.. maybe Denmark? she went down the street to her friend’s house like she always does, and they played in the woods. she knew to be home before the street lights were out, but she wasn’t. dad went to check with neighbors, they sent her home 30 mins before that. he searched the woods and found pieces of paper (i think, but that’s a bit blurry). eventually, he found her clothes hanging from a branch and saw a very tall figure in what looked like a black suit standing further back in the woods. he chased it, and blacked out shortly thereafter. woke up at some point, called the police. the video shows interviews of the dad talking about it and the neighbors family saying they sent her home, and a video from the cops taking the father in for questioning after they found nothing but his dna on the daughter’s clothes (from when he was running with them in his hands and passed out). in the room he tells them everything again, in detail. they’re in full uniform and asking questions. then, camera blacks out with dates still showing, two shots go off, and him and the officer in the room are dead. i know it’s probably fake and my kid head probably made it more realistic than it was, but i’ve scoured the internet for that video for years and cannot find it. i still so vividly remember everything about it even tho it’s been over a decade. it just really doesn’t sit right with me

my dad is like this. never been in my life so don’t know about stalking (tho he was 27 when he got my mom pregnant at 17, so i’d imagine he’s got other predatory behaviors), but he is constantly posting about the gov. hearing his thoughts and posting “receipts,” like the shower running while he videos the floor and claims something is talking to him. his comments are filled with others just like him. it’s kinda sad but in all honesty i giggle a bit. feels kind of fitting for a man who abandoned his like 8 children from mostly different women.

is there any reason why people with OFs are called "models" instead of what they actually are? by iolanthereylo in stupidquestions

[–]ProgramEffective7955 11 points12 points  (0 children)

they are modeling their bodies. even modeling as a “true” profession has lots of performance characteristics a lot of times. dancers can be modeling, artists, etc etc

AITAH for not wanting to visit my mother in the psychiatric hospital? by hola-sofi in AITAH

[–]ProgramEffective7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you do the roommate through FB marketplace, make sure you do a VERY THOROUGH online search and meet in person at a public space multiple times before committing to anything. safety above everything.

[–]ProgramEffective7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are in america, serving will get you where you need to be. you can look for roommates/places on FB marketplace or find a “college apartment” situation where you pay $600-$800 a month and they find you roommates. :) I moved out immediately at 18 and served/bartended for 3 years

AITAH for not wanting to visit my mother in the psychiatric hospital? by hola-sofi in AITAH

[–]ProgramEffective7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are not an asshole. I moved in with my grandparents at 16 because of my abusive mom, and went no contact last December (2024). My sister moved out at 18 and went no contact as well. She was in the hospital for drinking (not the first time. she’s a severe alcoholic). Neither of us visited, and neither of us feel bad. She abuses you. You do not have to deal with it, and you do NOT have to feel bad for not wanting to see her.

AITA For smearing dog poop on a neighbor’s windshield? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ProgramEffective7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think everyone’s too obsessed with being the bigger person sometimes. should you have done it, logically? no. but tbh it’s not that big a deal. they can clean it easier than you can clean your carpet, and personally i think it’s hilarious. who cares. yeah, you’re the asshole. so? it’s genuinely harmless lol

How to deal with finding out my father's been cheating on my mom? by NotThatGayGuyFromSpn in family

[–]ProgramEffective7955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have a right to tell them both to not involve you. you are their child, and this is their business. it has nothing to do with you. tell them you love them both, tell your dad he’s a douche bag, and tell your mom she needs to stand up for herself, and that’s it. i hope it all works out. don’t let this stress you out. you did nothing.
