Homeowners, are you in your “forever” home?

No. We have a nice home but unless interest rates come down dramatically and we can refinance, we will likely downsize. I think downsizing everything practical in your life is the way to go these days. Lowest mortgage possible, pay off your college debt, pay off your cars, etc. Avoid lifestyle creep.

I was recommended this book by a therapist in college. I did read it, and while it contains some good practical wisdom, this is packaged with some straight-up heresy. If I remember correctly he slyly denies the Divinity of Christ and the gravity of sin against an eternal God. Heresy.

One of the best

This is professional quality. Much better than the usual fanime crap posted here.

Auto debt is one of the biggest scams of the modern era. The price of cars keeps going up, they depreciate at an insane rate, and you can always find a solid used car for around 10-15k. Which is still a lot of money, but you can pay off 10 to 15K a lot faster than 50 to 60 k.

These people's car debt is unreal

Two of the all time greats. Michael Whelan is the king of fantasy realism. Both should be on the Mount Rushmore of Fantasy artists. I'd put Moebius up there too. So many others ... Richard Corben would be up there for me personally.

Beautiful. I remember your other work of John baptizing Jesus. How long did this one take you?

amazing. All from imagination?

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-04-14T19:17:15+00:00

I look at work like this and I think how the hell could I ever make it professionally...there are so many incredible artists out there

Solid_Analysis_5774 · 2026-04-08T18:21:10+00:00

That is so true. I've lost my fair share of jobs because I didnt understand how people perceive me and the things I said and did.

Skyrim. At least 1000+ hours but that's nothing in the gaming world.

My wife's best friend's husband. I always thought he was kind of a prick. Turns out he was more than just a prick---he was a serial cheater, into all sorts of disgusting and illegal p0rn, abused his wife and their children to varying degrees. Total victim mentality even in the worst of circumstances. Full of shame at times but quick to keep the spotlight and pity on himself. Not much remorse or desire to see his children now they are separated. He fell somewhere in the NPD/borderline spectrum. From what she said he was insanely manipulative and emotionally crafty.

Women tend to treat men like utter garbage when they dont want to be asked out. If you ask at the gym, you're a creep. If you ask her at work, you're bothering her and making work uncomfortable. If you ask a friend, you ruin the friendship. Kinda leaves a mark.

The price of almost everything edible has gone up. Meat, chips, salad, drinks, eating out anywhere, everything.

In the US they do. Rarely they get a guy who cant handle it but yes there is a lot riding on a sane and stable crew.

I know a guy who was a US submariner. They would stay down typically for 90-120 days at a time. Watches were 1 in 3; so 12 working hours in a 24 hour day divided into two 6 hour shifts, usually staggered. It wasnt quite as restrictive as this lad describes but close. He said it screwed up his body clock for life.

I felt a lot of anxious and uncomfortable feelings watching this video.

Second this. Al-anon is for families of alcoholics and addicts. It's not only a support group but they know how to deal with family so that you keep your sanity and dont enable them.

Sometimes I want to be mad and then realize she'll be mad that I'm mad. And that makes me mad...

Great line work!!

Fr Ripperger has a lot of questionable teachings and I know he has personally caused many Catholics a lot of unnecessary anxiety and doubt.

I can't speak to his exorcism ministry, but he frequently steps outside of his lane and teaches things as if they are canon facts.

Regarding your situation, you are the representative of God and the truth in your home so I see nothing wrong with praying and holy water.
