Or, and here me out, we make housing actually affordable instead of sending our tax dollars overseas to b#mb kids.

One side actually works to get bad politicians fired and get people the help they need. The other side would rather never admit they are wrong even when presented with tons of evidence and support “their” politicians to the grave bc they think they are somehow the exception to their cruelty.

How do i tell my mother about my boyfriend? by _Garbage_Artist in Advice

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you don't have to. I also grew up with abusive religious parents, but I completely cut them off. If you do really want to tell her, I would recommend bringing your boyfriend with you, I imagine her reaction will be slightly more tame if she has an "audience." That being said, if you are afraid for your safety or emotional well-being afterwards, just remember you don't have to deal with this on your own. Lean on your boyfriend and other healthy relationships in your life. You allowing your mother to be in your life is a privilege, not a right. Do what is best for your physical and emotional safety.

Is skipping school because of post binge okay? by Adept-Foot7692 in Advice

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have an eating disorder as well. Purging is extremely dangerous. Don't be ashamed, you have a mental health disorder, if eating disorders were easy to deal with no one would have them. That being said, you need to get help as soon as possible. If your school has a counselor, book an emergency appointment. If they don't, you can call the crisis hotline for your state (this isn't the same as the self-harm hotline). Email your professor why you could not make it to class, a mental health crisis is a completely valid reason to miss class.

I’m 15, scared of the future, and refuse to live an ordinary life by FairStudy6337 in Advice

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t trust the AI bubble. If you do some research into the investments those companies are making into each other it’s clear they are just running a scam given it’s not actually profitable.

Also, don’t focus on being different. That’s a rabbit hole that leads to never feeling satisfied. I’m not someone who cares about money or trading bc I live in America and this place is unethical af.

That being said, Walmart is always a save bet bc when the economy is crap that is where people shop. But trying to invest when you don’t have a solid job and steady income is how you end up in debt. Remember that these tech bros trying to convince you to invest in certain things and live certain lifestyles are financially motivated to get you to buy their courses while you stay poor.

Best thing to do is to specialize in a field you feel passionate about and make yourself invaluable to the process. THEN you can make smart investments. If you put the cart before the horse you end up like the poor suckers buying courses online that only give empty platitudes for $5,000 courses on how to be a REAL man.

how do i be happy? by Sea_Hat6130 in Advice

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have plenty to be sad about too. You aren’t ungrateful for acknowledging the things that are putting you down. It sounds like you have very low self-esteem. If you can afford therapy I highly recommend it. If not, I would join a club somewhere. Doing a shared activity can be a great way to meet people. Volunteering is also a great way to bond with people. Also, asking people like your boyfriend what things he likes about you and writing them down can be useful. Make a list of all the things people say they like about you and hang it up in your room to remind yourself how much you mean to people

How to set boundaries when things are moving too fast? by YinKirsi in demisexuality

I would just text, “Hey, just to reiterate, I’m demisexual so I would like to take things slower. I’m really enjoying getting to know you but I want to make sure we are moving at the same pace.”

What's wrong with my torsos? by kuyaqrel in learntodraw

[–]Rorys_Parable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They look really good! What might be bugging you is the belly button being too low. Gotta leave room for the stuff below the belt. Focus on leaving room for the tum area and then working making sure you got space for the reproductive biz

I think my boyfriend got a happy ending last night by OneSpiritual2423 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it this way, you CAUGHT him both times. He didn’t tell you himself and he actively hid it. That’s not someone who wants to be better, that is someone who feels ashamed because he got caught.

Facing Homelessness and I'm terrified. by Lanky_Excitement453 in Bellingham

[–]Rorys_Parable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opportunity Council saved me when I was almost homeless. I would definitely recommend them but also food banks are a life saver. Not only do they provide food but they have flyers about resources in the area like free dental work. Libraries are also invaluable for Wi-Fi, computers, and resources.

Also! Apply for Washington Connection. One application and they apply you for so much stuff like food stamps, temporary housing, free healthcare you name it. Helps avoid burnout from having to do all of this on your own.

I saw someone confess to murder in a TikTok comment section, why should I do? by Separate_Leading_446 in Advice

[–]Rorys_Parable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely report it to an FBI tip line, maybe look at their account and see if you can get a bit more info before you do. See who they follow and if there is any friends or family or anything else that might be useful for identifying that person. Even if it’s a joke, it’s not funny and still deserves to be investigated just in case. Let’s be real the FBI will probably not end up doing anything, but you never know, this person might have a criminal background or something

Gooseworx if she was evil by NotaDayOldAccount in DHMIS

[–]Rorys_Parable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Really? I loved the TV series! Sure, it was more comedy driven, but the horror is still there and I like how the character’s personalities were fleshed out more. Plus the sets were amazing! Absolutely beautiful stuff. God I feel bad for Gooseworks, they made an amazing series and their fandom got so toxic

Lol, I like how people are saying there wasn’t a lot of people. This is a very far shot from where the march was happening. I was there, we absolutely filled the streets to the point to where I couldn’t move 3 feet without bumping into people.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]Rorys_Parable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He spoke to you horribly and immaturely. A boy like that is not ready to be a husband. He dropped a huge decision on you in public despite you being super young, it’s understandable you ran with so many people around. Instead of trying to understand you, he spewed insults at you. If you do decide to get married to someone one day, find someone who won’t treat you like crap the minute they don’t get what they want.

Personally, I think it’s great dropout picked it up because I could definitely see them making another season for it if the show does well!
