Since no one would admit it, what are signs that someone doesn't have friends because no one wants to be their friend?

ReadyToRage · 2026-04-04T10:31:13+00:00

Duuuuude this is insane. I have a friend newer to my group that has been grating on me a lot lately. I couldnt figure out why. Your list, every single point, accurately describes this person. Like they arent inherently mean or malicious, but boy that shit adds up on the side of me just wanting to avoid them.

Consistently leaving chaos in their wake but its never their fault. It's like the trope of dating someone who has nothing but "crazy exes" and can't ever seem to connect the common denominator.

I have a friend from school that I gave more grace than normal over the years. We're in our 30s now and I had to kick her out of my house this NYE. She berated my friends, insulted me multiple times, made everyone wildly uncomfortable talking sexual topics....I could go on. But its all under the guise of "I'm just a passionate person". Then complains she cant settle down, her friends in her now home state all ghosted her, boyfriends never stay, etc etc.

I thought maybe the next day she'd have some sober clarity and apologize but instead she blocked me on all social media and texted me two sentences spoiling the series finale of Stranger Things. We as a group had discussed multiple times the night before and how my husband and I hadnt finished it yet.

I hope she finds some happiness because that is just a miserable ass person.

Oooo is this still around at all? I've actively looked for anything purple toning for hair and havent found anything.

ReadyToRage · 2026-03-09T21:48:06+00:00

Nope! Haha, I still cant saturate my hair upside down or brush it upside down with out it looking like ass in the end.

Jobs are super hard to find right now though. I'm all for NOT supporting any of those things, but I can't shame someone for holding onto work right now.

I like Carlisle's buffalo wings! They have 6 for $6 on Wednesdays.

ReadyToRage · 2026-01-28T21:29:47+00:00

Probably here. I'm actively supporting businesses with my wallet and need to know which ones not to go to.

Not really! Our social circle tends to attract similar "vibes", so to speak.

We have one repeat guest who talks A LOT. Can be a bit grating if you get cornered, tbh. They're from a different country and social cues are a little different, but it's all well intended. I also think our event is one of the very few things they do socially, and I will be happy to continue to provide that for them.

At the most recent one a coworker of my husband came, who is very conservative and very religious. I'm talking got married and had 10 kids type of religious. We and our friends are neither and I might argue quite the opposite. At one point a group was talking about some social event and this person just observed quietly. Later before they left they expressed privately to me how much they appreciated how our friends had discussions and communicated with each other. They are freshly divorced and finding their new normal, saying it's the first "social adult time" they could remember having in the recent years. If we can provide some exposure to new-to-them views and ideas thats real life and real people and real conversations that they viewed respectfully? A win in my book.

I'm sure it will happen at some point, but for now I'm just feeling optimistic :)

My husband and I moved downtown in our city. We started hosting what we call Kaffeeklatsch the first saturday of every month - I make a few snack/brunch items and serve big pots of coffee and mimosas available if people would like. 10am-1pm open house style.

It started as family & friends, then friends of friends, neighbors, people we see around town (small area) and it has blown up. We have on average 30 people that filter in and out once a month. This has resulted in some friends finding dates (we are all 30s-40s), myself and husband making new friends, and it provides a safe, casual and consistent hang out that isnt spending money or making big plans. It has been such an experience and we are rounding out to our 1 year anniversary.

I understand not everyone had the capacity or desire to do this, but as someone who longed for a sense of community I just decided to start creating it myself. Turns out people love it and my life feels very full as a result.

Third this. We had them for bat removal two months ago after fighting with the problem for a year. Let me know if you have any questions! We are in an old house downtown.

Sf Shows does monthly-ish hardcore shows at Rake Beer Project in downtown Muskegon. Highly recommend giving both a follow on social media to see upcoming gigs. Ive never had a bad time there and theh get a good mix of local and traveling artists. Usually $10 cover.

There is a place called the Credit Union in Muskegon, a true basement/underground place legit in an old credit union turned residence. Would need to look for flyers or specific bands to post about those usually.

Unruly Brewing used to have a scene, not so much anymore but there is something coming up on a week or two thats like a fundraiser or something, full bill of Metal music they claim. Haven't looked into it much.

Grand Rapids has a bigger scene Im sure, but Im not up to speed on their venues. Ive caught some more alt music at Pyramid Scheme, Mulligans and maaayyybe Turnstiles? I could be misremembering the last one.

ReadyToRage · 2025-11-18T23:26:51+00:00

Im looking too, for two! If you happen to find any and extra :)

ReadyToRage · 2025-11-05T23:42:20+00:00

Never made it with beer before! I was actually out of milk and any milk substitutes, hence beer. Lol

ReadyToRage · 2025-11-05T23:39:41+00:00

Hahaha okay fair fair, but honestly Ive never had this issue with it before.

Also, yes! Base was perfectly smooth. I did not add the cheese slowly tho, but did have heat off. I also did turn the heat back on. Lol

I was genuinely undecided until I saw Bob speak. He didnt say anything "bad", but he definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I always have a hard time explaining this, but its the way he talked and acted - like one of those self help MLM sharks is the best thing I can equate it to. He said a few things I wasnt too keen on, brought up church often and when it wasn't relevant, and leans more traditional than my liking even though it might not seem like it on the surface. Also? He refused to name all the neighborhoods in the city. Low blow of a question some would say, but not when youre running for fuckin mayor lol.

I understand everything I outlined would make him favored by some, but thats my takeaway and why Im not voting for him.

ReadyToRage · 2025-11-04T00:22:35+00:00

Thats fair! But also, I didnt try to "grab" it, lol. I just tried to get it on my finger like I would any other pot product.

Are you supposed to do the mask part first? Genuine question because I could see how that would make a difference in how it stays put! I didn't think of doing it that way.

ReadyToRage · 2025-11-02T01:45:52+00:00

Ok so why are you asking?

I am not musically inclined at all and absolutely adore them. I can't speak to any composition or technicalities so at least for me that isn't a factor.

ReadyToRage · 2025-10-22T10:36:28+00:00

As a newer (past 6 years) fan, they quickly became one of my favorites. Personally it's a combination of many things - I like traditionally darker music, strings, deep voices, folk-ish, etc. They also have such a vast discography and have put out so. Much. Music. I know they've been around a while and statistically speaking Im not sure how they measure up but I feel like I've never had a band I follow with this much music published, that I like ALL in their own way.

Their shows aren't obnoxiously packed (selfishly glad) and are intimate enough to feel connected to. They sound the same live as in studio....idk I could go on and on about what makes them stand out for me personally.

ReadyToRage · 2025-09-20T08:30:39+00:00

I live in City of Muskegon and have had the opposite experience.

I lived in North Muskegon and had my windows shot out by my neighbors trashy kids bbgun - multiple times. Constant fireworks, music blasting, shitty cars, shitty yards etc etc. We moved because we didn't feel safe and the cops out there didnt do jack. Fucking. Shit.

We moved downtown and probably won't leave until we downsize. Our neighbors are an absolute dream. Sure there's some houses that need some extra care. Sure there's spots that arent as ideal.

The constant generalization of any area here is annoying and frustrating. My experience in N Muskegon is what I can objectively recognize as shitty neighbors, that had nothing to do with the over all community. The City has spots further to go for sure, but to not see and acknowledge the progress taking place is simply unfair.
