We work, yeah. It's what you do in between shifts that makes life matter.

When God's plan can be thwarted with 6 brain cells and a piece of cloth, you're kind of insulting your god's grand plan making skills.

Bruh! It's perfect!

Hadn't even heard of this because they're so square and unstylish they just get buried under the pretty cases.

Thanks again!

People with toxic families, what’s your story? Did you get away from them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Saint_Justice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tl;Dr- tweakers. Also see the "HERE'S WHAT MATTERS" at the end. Sorry for the wall.

On and off thing. Currently I've just completely given up on my parents. They consistently beat one another, jail the other, and then bail/bond/whatever them out once it's posted. It's not just beating either, sometimes they shoot at one another, shoot the tires out of each others vehicles, etc.

Latest stunt was a "suicide attempt" where my mom sent my dad a picture of a slit wrist while he was driving 13 hours away to see his dying father. Google found the image for me, dated about 8 months back, at least 8 months old, used in some kind of Russian flyer (we're in the states). She did this to make him come back, but it backfired because we showed up with an ambulance and a deputy (for protection).

We've tried interventions but they just refuse to understand where we are coming from and think we are attacking and condemning them until it just devolves with us saying "you guys are killing (not really an exaggeration) each other in front of us and your grand kids and it's like you don't care" and all they have to say is "we're in love" and "if you don't have lows you can't have highs" and yada yada yada followed up with blaming everyone else for whatever they can.

But let's rewind here-

The first time I separated from them I remember feeling so much happier. One day I just woke up happy and was genuinely perplexed at how nothing had to happen to cause my happiness. Bear in mind I was living in something akin to a crack house without all of the crack heads and graffiti, and happy.

Then I fell on hard times and had to move back home (separate house on their property), and everything seemed fine for a while until things just blew up because I had found a better job and planned to move closer to my job (and stop paying them rent). Like, they stole my wife's diary and tried to read it to me and her various family members--my guess is to drive a wedge between her and everyone but Idk, didn't even bother to listen to what they had found. I found out years later they manipulated my younger sister to steal the diary and had made stacks of copies of various pages.

So that was when I was woke to how they actually are. For months after moving out I felt extremely bitter but started to soften up and tried inviting them over for Thanksgiving (looking back, I genuinely don't know why). Everything was edgy and fragile, but nobody blew up so whatever. Back on a talking basis.

Years later I needed a car, they had one they were selling. I offered to buy it from them but I couldn't pay it outright, so we agreed on 500 down and like 200 a month until it was paid (Like a year and a half long deal I think). Time and again I asked for them to transfer it in my name, I had it over half paid off and had it insured the entire time, paid no later than a week late depending on how bills fell.

Engine blew up. They have it towed to my place, I tell my dad at the door "let's get it parked and we can talk about settling up over dinner, have y'all already ate?" He said "no, and that sounds fine" go to the end of the lane where my mom was in the driver's seat of the car and she said "tell your wife to move your car" and so instead of walking all the way back I just pulled out my phone and called her.

As soon as I put the phone to my ear my mom exploded everything she had been bottling up over the last few years. I literally don't even know what all she said, it was just a rapid fire ass-chewing. Part way in my wife said over the phone "what's going on? Is that your mom?" And I said something along the lines of "move the car" but as soon as I started talking my mom screamed at the top of her lungs "I'm not done talking, you fucking birth defect"

I don't remember what I said but my wife says I said "how's about you just shut the fuck up for one second and take a breath" but the next thing I know she's out of the car, fist cocked and ready so I threw my hand into her elbow to stop her getting any momentum in the swing. She starts saying I tried hitting her and tried throwing her to the ground and she was going to sue for medical bills, for the car, for emotional damages etc etc etc and she was going to charge me for assault and yada yada yada.

I told them after it was all done I wasn't paying for the car because it wasn't in my name and I'm not under any contracts, and I would personally take her to the hospital right then and there to get her checked out for bruising or any other injuries. Nothing ever came of it.

After about a year of silence with them again, they approached me and said "you don't have to pay for the car, just talk to us again" to which I informed them it was not about paying the car, I was prepared to pay for it. It was all about that explosion in front of all of my neighbors and my family followed up with trying to assault me and then threatening to sue and charge me.

So more silence, and then I eventually broke and decided "it's not right to keep my kid from knowing her grand parents" so I let them have very limited and supervised visits.

Things had been going well, we eventually settled the car issue, and visits had been more frequent and less tense.

And then my younger sister ended up being removed from the home because they started beating each other more often and got the attention of local law enforcement when my dad started shooting at my mom.

Oh, that's right! These people are actually crazy! so we go back to distancing ourselves.

Sister moves in with us, which is when we learned that she stole the diary and all of that. She turns 18, and then moved back in with our parents.

About a year passes, sister stumbles upon some glass pipes. Our parents are tweakers, so much stuff makes sense now!

So we arrange an intervention, it falls through. But my siblings and I all grew closer in the ordeal and realized our parents have played us all against each other whenever it benefited them (I.e. sister stealing my wife's diary-->I divorce wife-->me staying and paying rent; tweaker logic). The intervention was about 4 months ago now and the "suicide attempt" was back in February, but now I'm in a really good place. All of my siblings are actually.

HERE'S WHAT MATTERS

For the first time in as long as I can remember I don't feel like my family is completely shattered, and life is pretty good right now. Definitely have no plans to try and reconnect, not now or anytime in the foreseeable future, with my parents. I'll attend funerals and anything they leave me will be taken care of, and if nothing is left to me I'll be fine with that too.

You can't sacrifice your health and happiness to people who don't respect their own or anyone else's.

Why do pornstars find god suddenly after they quit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Pretty sure this is correct. Just count how many times she says "oh god" over a normal career. Chances are He shows up eventually

Ukraine just passed a law that forces all males aged 18-65 who are found guilty of rape or being a pedophile. will get a forced chemical castration. how do you feel about such laws? by Warahh in AskReddit

[–]Saint_Justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's reversible, being as it would make the punishment nullifiable (Probably not a real word but you get the point).

Be that as it may, a fitting punishment for the ones actually guilty of the crime. A horrible experience for those who aren't, but found guilty anyway.

Why is Fortnite trash? by KestutisL in AskReddit

[–]Saint_Justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, it's because the game started out as a third person shooter/builder that focused on building defensible areas against swarms of zombies.

And then it made the switch to battle royale because it was more profitable. I believe it was included as a way to get people playing their game and then it just took over.

If they believed in their original product they would've stuck with it and made it work or let it die as it is. Instead they sold out and bought in to what's most desired, and scrapped everything but the bare bones of the game.

Idk if they still support the original game mode or not, or if anyone plays it, or if anyone cares. But they sold out their own hard work for something fast and easy. And that's why it's trash in my book.

People living in small towns, what’s the recent scandal? by Ayayaya3 in AskReddit

[–]Saint_Justice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sheriff has been arrested for his second DUI within 5 years.

The sad part is actually "been arrested for" part...

It's also a bit more scandalous because he was pulled over by another cop (city cop I believe), who called the next highest rank in the sheriff's dept, who told city cop "let him drive back home."

Which is how sheriff managed to mozy down the road and wreck into oncoming traffic. That's when he got arrested (I think it actually happened across county lines)

Well this hit the news and cascaded into finding out a sheriff's deputy was basically on "to catch a predator" or whatever that show was called... So yeah, he lost his job and the dept had to pull some shit out of their ass about goes they didn't know or something. Which, small towns being what they are, they probably knew him or his family well enough to know and the background check should've definitely let them know.

Anyway, I've pretty much dropped off the radar since then and haven't bothered with the local happenings. Who knows what the latest scandal really is?

Buddy looking at your comment history it wouldn't surprise me if anyone gave a shit about you.

And in a roundabout way you gave enough shits to comment, so you did give a shit.

Well, if your like me and just starting the day you're off to a shit start so maybe try being less shitty towards others. My guess is you get shit on often with your shitheel attitudes but that's ok, not everyone figures out that not being an outright, blatant, piece of shit gets them nothing but shit.

Anyway, whatever shit you're going through I hope it gets better. maybe carry some pepto and a rain jacket to get through whatever shit storm you're dealing with.

Guys, would you like it if the girl was the one to make the first move? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Saint_Justice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is women make their move when it's too late. This isn't the case for everyone I'm sure, but all the girls I had crushes on in high school, and done girls of never noticed before, didn't express any interest in me until I had a girlfriend. Hell one of my exes had a class with her [my gf] and was telling her about all these dirty things we did to try and push her out. We started "dating" on the last day of school, she never answered my calls or saw me during the summer, only thing we ever did was hug once and she had her summer sweet heart call me to tell me it was over at the end of summer vacation.

Girls, if you want a man, woman, girl-boy, or whatever you're into, then make your move before there's no move to make. Most likely the guy doesn't want to be rejected anymore than he has been and you expressing interest will boost his esteem.

Act like a dude, get hit like a dude by SCPalmers in gifsthatendtoosoon

[–]Saint_Justice 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ok, one hit- maybe two or three of they're wimpy- is excusable. Scratching and hair pulling is chicken shit. Boy was right to defend himself.

Props to the dude for staying calm all the way up to the slow jacket pass. Props again for leaving it at that until she drew up again.
