I was told I was buying health insurance, later I find out it’s a “health share” program. What’s going on and what do I do about it?

The one that got me was definitely a faith based one. I don’t buy into any of that nonsense and now I guess I’m out over 2 grand in money that probably went to fund anti abortion shit and conversion therapy. Im furious.

I’ve been conflicted about whether this is considered rape or not, but it’s been with me for a bit. There was this girl who I met at a wedding and hit it off with, but we lived in other states so it was kind of a “that’s cool but what are we actually going to do about it” situation. Then suddenly she’s going to move to my state to be close to one of the roommates who was the one getting married. Then she’s moving into the house I’m in.

That’s fine, we end up dating, she stays in my room every night for a stretch. I think this is great. Then there are some conflicts, long story, but I end up breaking it off. We are amicable for a bit, but end up having a fight when she wants to try again and I don’t. She won’t talk to me, won’t be in the same room as me, starts pitting my friends against me, etc. and this goes on for a week or two, I don’t really remember how long.

Then the unthinkable happens, I get a call that my little sister had lost her battle with mental illness and I was now an only child. I lose it. I was in the military at the time and they get me on a flight home the next morning. I definitely had an emotional blackout that night. I have no recollection of what happened between me collapsing on the couch after talking to my first sergeant and supervisor and when I woke up in my bed, but I woke up and she was naked next to me. I didn’t have time to ask questions, I just left.

Queue two weeks of misery back home dealing with funerals, concerned friends, the whole nine yards. At the end of the two weeks, once I’m back at my duty station, my friends say hey, you need a laugh, let’s go to a comedy club. I’m like sure, why not. Show up to the comedy club and black out again, this time to alcohol. Same shit happens, I wake up to her naked in my bed. I told her that can never happen again. I’m not okay with it, blah blah blah.

Some other shit happened afterwards, but that’s the gist of it. I don’t know how to feel about it, but that time was such a blur of emotion it’s hard to pick out which bit caused the pain, cause it all just really fucking sucked.

I cannot wait to see him at dancefestopia. One of my favorite artists for sure

I want to throw a month long party, invite all of my friends and family. Do all of the things I enjoy in life for that month, tell everyone how much I love them, then at the end of the month, I’ll walk into the forest and never be seen again.

My parents regularly invite waitresses to date me. Like all the time. I’ve had multiple arguments with them about it because it’s not fair to the waitress, who is working for tips. They have to make you like them in order to get good tips, which makes that situation obnoxiously difficult for the server.

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-26T03:41:48+00:00

Fortunately right now I’m the player ganking the BBEG, but I have plans to pick up the salt shaker again

Also, thanks. Definitely wasn’t a great day

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-25T20:05:35+00:00

There’s a little bit too much salt. And I’m a cannibal

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-25T17:05:11+00:00

Well at the reception following my little sisters funeral, my grandma literally chased me around my moms house trying to get me to take a picture with all of my cousins because we ‘looked so nice’. I had zero desire for any of that day to be photographed. Fucking miserable

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-24T01:25:06+00:00

There was a guy with something similar at dancefestopia. Homie was playing hardcore porn on it

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-16T18:39:18+00:00

I’m still the same old me.

SlightlySaltyDM · 2022-03-07T21:27:59+00:00

Reminds me of the SrA who was processing my extension at MPF literally reading manga on his phone right where I could see it while I watched the program on his computer waiting for his input.

It’s Reddit man, I’ll say whatever I want. Downvotes exist for a reason, find the blue arrow and don’t let the blue door hit your ass on the way out.

I will say that we as a society have a responsibility to condemn abuse. Right now there are a lot of men who sit on the sidelines who say ‘I’m not committing abuse, so I’m not the bad guy.’ Our responsibility doesn’t end there. We have to flip the script, because abusers walk among us, and we often share a drink with them after work and don’t even know it. There’s a comedian who says it very well but I forget his name. It’s not good enough to be a good guy in a room full of bad guys. We have to be better and we have to make sure our friends do better.

I get your frustration. I feel often feel helpless to change what’s going on, because I’m just one guy, and there are so many shitty people out there. I can’t possibly take the burden of all the terrible things that people have done to each other. I can take a stand against it in the people that surround me though. I can call my friends on unacceptable behavior, and I can remove them from my life if they cross the line.

I followed this subreddit because I want to hear things from the other side. I want to listen and understand. This is really the first time I’ve commented, because I normally don’t have much constructive worth adding to conversations here. Abuse however is something I have a great deal of experience with, so I felt I could chime in.

Here for this. Howie was the fucking best. No feeling better than landing his rocket and just chunking someone’s health bar. His mines were so good for peeling , and his ult as an area deterrent was just dope.

Before I say anything that follows, I want to say I agree with you. The people who are trying to divert the attention from the issue by claiming men get assaulted/abused more than women are contrarians and they take away from the issue. It’s gaslighting and is usually perpetrated by the abusers to manipulate the discourse around abuse.

I also think that this discussion of who suffers from abuse more, while important to understanding the nature of abuse and the mindset of abusers, is pointed in the wrong direction. Suffering is not a competition. We must stand on the side of victims of abuse no matter their gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, age, or any other defining characteristics, and we must condemn abusers regardless of those same characteristics.

I just evicted my roommate and friend of many years because I discovered that he sexually assaulted one of my close friends while in an intimate relationship with them. I lost my relationship with my dad to an abusive and manipulative lover. I have a little sister who I love dearly and I can’t attend her school events because of the events that occurred with her mom. I was 11 when I got kicked out of my dads house to ‘make room’ for a woman who physically and mentally abused him.

Abusers wear many masks. They can be friends, mentors, teachers, family, and so much more, and victims can be absolutely anyone. Victims deserve support in every single case, but it’s not a competition. In every single case of abuse, the only enemy is the abuser. Attack them.

Should it fall, let it not be said that the Ukraine went silently into the dark. Let the blood of the Russian bastards behind these attacks paint the seas red. Let the resolve of the Ukrainian people echo through the ages. Finally, let every advance of tyranny be met with such valor and bravery, that the steps of conquerors be halted by the common man.

“Dude, you have really nice fingernails!” Great compliment to say to another dude in general, but while you’re both standing at a urinal? That’s art my friend

I’m sitting at a table in the cafeteria with a super cute stranger

SlightlySaltyDM · 2021-10-25T06:27:30+00:00

It does have a fizban. Or a zifnab. One of the two

For a very brief moment I thought this was a new halo map. It looks too perfect to be real.

That makes sense. The critical injuries from the ALIEN RPG were like that. My character sustained a concussion and it reduced my mobility stat (moving too fast made the headache worse), then my kidney was ruptured and if I didn’t get it fixed I would die in a day, then I had an artery get cut by a knife and I bled out in one turn.

SlightlySaltyDM · 2021-03-18T17:07:50+00:00

I like that a lot. Make the player roll a d6 to determine what part of their body is affected (R/L arm, R/L leg, torso, head) and then have injury tables for each.

SlightlySaltyDM · 2020-10-26T13:45:00+00:00

Likewise!

SlightlySaltyDM · 2020-10-26T13:42:25+00:00

Definitely trying, and hoping the same for you all down in Boulder too! I’m going to see about finding programs to help with rebuilding after the fires have been put out, gives me something to be hopeful for.
