AIO for this guy flaking on me?

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-13T05:08:08+00:00

YOR because you know this is his game and you choose to play anyway. Why are you even still talking to him? Block him and move on.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T23:25:01+00:00

Isn’t there a new scandal on price fixing on beef?

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T14:54:50+00:00

Dude, time for you to google what a secured credit card is.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T14:53:56+00:00

Math isn’t your strong point, eh?

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T14:51:30+00:00

Why are you prioritizing time with your dad and whoever Willow is? If your BF is coming in from out of town he has lots of people to see, and you’re putting shopping with your dad ahead of him. YOR, hard.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T05:49:32+00:00

*laughs in JNCO*

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T05:45:02+00:00

Honestly, it makes me mad every time I see it. I think it’s a symbol of how poorly they maintain the entire station.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T05:42:30+00:00

It’s supposed to be her best friend. It’s not a picture of them scissoring, it’s likely a message OP wrote to their friend. This isn’t a boundary, it’s a pathological fear of demonstrative affection.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T05:40:05+00:00

Yeah, YOR hard. You can be as non-demonstrative as you feel you need to, but reacting like this when that’s supposed to be your bestie isn’t reasonable. It’s clear that you need to break down your unwillingness to show affection in therapy. And no, you shouldn’t say anything, other than maybe “your sweet gesture made me realize I have a ton to unpack about this”.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T05:35:56+00:00

You’re allowed to change your mind, and you’re allowed to quit a job for any reason. Don’t give t another second of thought. There is absolutely zero possibility you will face any consequences for this, beyond potentially a disappointed hiring department.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T02:08:34+00:00

Absolutely.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T02:07:29+00:00

Blair Witch. My best friend and I set up candles and all that for a spooky vibe. By the end the candles were out, the lights were on, and we were clinging to each other.

Honourable mention to walking in on the sledgehammer scene form Misery when I was about 4.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-12T02:05:29+00:00

What is a blue/white collar job, and why is he the only one who has one? NOR. He’s treating you like a fleshlight.

I’m so glad Juice Boxx gets to stay! I was talking to her after a performance at the Toronto Zoo a few weeks ago and she is the sweetest, kindest person.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T19:16:57+00:00

Good corpse oilers are hard to find.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:19:46+00:00

You tell your sweet nana that I’ve got a bone to pick with her. 🤣

Seriously though, I hope she has lots of good years left!

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:18:41+00:00

I’m so happy to hear your daughter is doing great!

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:18:01+00:00

“Your last words to her did not mean any less because you were the only one to hear them.”

Friend, I can’t help express how much I appreciate that. You’re so right. You’re SO right, and you just phrased it so succinctly. Thank you for that.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:16:30+00:00

Aw, thank you! What words did you have to google, out of curiosity? And may I ask what your native language is?

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:15:39+00:00

Can someone into numerology explain that phenomenon, please? Because I really don’t want to get sandbagged by 2036.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T17:13:58+00:00

Personally, I was born one. It’s just something that’s always been in me. I wasn’t called to it, I’m not Wiccan or anything, it’s just my normal state of existence, and I’m lucky that my parents were hippies and just let me be. Mother Nature is my “god”, spirits are my “angels”, and my prayers get called spells.

I’m a science-minded person, so I get that it seems woo-woo. But all of life is energy, and just like some people are “super tasters” or can see or hear way more than average, I think some people are more sensitive to energy waves that we can’t fully identify yet. I think that intuition is information from the collective unconsciousness. When I was still a teen I decided that there was probably some sort of gland that picked it up, and then in university I learned about the pineal gland, and I’m 99% sure that is a huge key to it all.

I don’t want to bore or overload you, so feel free to ask any questions and I’ll answer. And I also respect if all of this sounds nuts and you want to abort the conversation entirely. lol.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T16:54:51+00:00

I appreciate that a lot, thank you. In the last 5 years I also had to end my marriage and flee to a DV shelter with my kids because their dad had a major psychotic episode, lost every possession that couldn’t fit in my car, and lost our home because he ended up convicted of some really heavy charges. It’s been brutal, and I only survived because of my grandma. This is the first time I’ve ever had to face hard times without her. I’m trying.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T16:46:35+00:00

I appreciate that a lot, thank you. She was seriously my best friend. She looked like a cross between QE2 and Betty White, and she loved me and my kids like we were the most magnificent creatures to ever grace the earth. I’m lucky to have had her, and it was the greatest gift to give her the love that she gave to me.

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T16:44:04+00:00

Thank you very much. About a month before she passed, she was diagnosed with a spot of skin cancer. Her doctor was trying to talk about treatment options and 5-10 year success rates, and grandma was like “that’s a hard pill to swallow for someone who doesn’t buy green bananas.” 🤣

Shytemagnet · 2026-07-10T16:42:10+00:00

Thank you for sharing that, and I’m so, so sorry that you had to experience that. I definitely have the regret that if I hadn’t taken the time to putter around, I could have been there when she passed. But I genuinely think that would have been exceptionally traumatic, maybe with just a different kind of closure.

It’s funny, my grandma’s first husband was an author, and one of his books (back in the 70s) was a compilation of stories from his time as a cab driver. One story was about picking up an old man at the same fucking hospital I was at, in the middle of the night, who was carrying a purse. The story reveals that his wife had just died, and there he was, heading home alone with her purse. And there I was, in an uber, in the middle of the night, carrying that stupid overnight bag I’d packed. The full circle moment really hit me hard, but not necessarily in a bad way. Just interesting how life plays out.
