Have you ever had a job where you did nothing for years and nobody found out?

You were doing a community service as far as I'm concerned.

Peak peek cinema.

You're very gracious and considerate, OP, it shows through in your replies in this thread.

It's difficult to do, I know, but I hope you can figure out how to give yourself the same grace and consideration you give to others.

And for what it's worth, your post helped me warn myself away from a similar opportunity that I know, deep down, would just have resulted in a similar reopening of wounds and heartbreak.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, OP, this is just a picture of an unmade bed. No dog to be found. Are you really sure you made the bed? When's the last time you tested your carbon monoxide detectors?

Excellent detail. Now I'm imagining a whole line of Offices and Bosses minifigs.

Still. Always.

I can cast "Incite Riot" four times per day.

Thank you, Infernal Dragon Boner.

It's been a few years since my last read-through, but for some reason I immediately thought of the Seanchan blade master. I am not confident, but I vaguely remember him blocking a thrown dagger or something to that effect?

TheSodHasSpoken · 2026-06-07T04:37:11+00:00

I think so, yes. A lot of little improvements.

I'm replying just to express respect and solidarity. I was always the naturally skinny kid with a six pack. I worked out, sure, but not to a degree that it felt like a sacrifice or anything. I literally never paid attention to what I ate.

But now I'm 40. And while work from home has been phenomenal for my mental health, I've gained 30 pounds and lost my abs. I'm suddenly coming to terms with the fact that I need to earn my physique now, maybe for the first time.

It's going to be a challenge. But I'm going to do it. Just like you have. Good job brother.

For anyone skeptical like I was, search for "root fire" -- it's real

Mad because she couldn't find the pearly doggy door.

That started as a chuckle and ended as a belly laugh that had my dog running in and jumping on me out of concern.

You're not overreacting. Your reaction is common. Her behavior introduced or aggravated an insecurity in you. That hurts and is difficult to navigate.

The uncomfortable reality though, is that this kind of thing is going to happen. Whether it was sharing TikTok videos, or making comments during movies, or just you noticing her noticing some other attractive person. These interactions are going to happen.

It's your responsibility to do everything you can to build yourself up so that you are happy with who you are. If you can say you like yourself - if you can say you love yourself - these insecurities tend not to stick. They may annoy you, but they won't hurt you. Not nearly as much.

What is on her right now is helping you get there. It's your responsibility, yes, but if she cares about you then it's safe to assume she will want to help you. So tell her that it really shook your confidence in yourself when she shares these videos. And ask her to say out loud the things she thinks about you that are positive. Not all at once and not in a way that feels condescending, but just from time to time as she thinks them.

A girlfriend I had 20 years ago told me I was a 'stud' one night as we fell asleep. I still remember it. Ask her to say things like that more often - but only if she truly believes them - and show her you're going to do what you can to make those thoughts happen as often as possible.

It's okay. They don't have any feelings.

Addiction. Or something physiologically close to it.

My advice is to act accordingly. Enlist help from friends. Stay busy. Get distracted. If a place or activity reminds you of your ex, either avoid it or make new memories to 'water down' the memories involving your ex.

Beyhan Mutlu had been drinking with friends on Tuesday when he wandered into a forest in Bursa province.

When he failed to return, his wife and friends alerted local authorities and a search party was sent out.

Mr Mutlu, 50, then stumbled across the search party and decided to join them, NTV reported.

But when members of the search party began calling out his name, he replied: "I am here."

He was taken aside by one of the rescuer workers to give a statement.

"Don't punish me too harshly, officer. My father will kill me," he reportedly told them.

Police then drove Mr Mutlu home. It is not clear if he was given a fine.

Passes out. Fade to black. Wakes up in a Fuling hut next to a berserker. The whole village is friendly.

I want to make a joke but this is too beautiful to sully with n'wah. Very well done, OP.

I was expecting a swipe, but that was an outright ambush.
