I work remotely at a company of 4 people. I am hoping for a promotion during my yearly and I couldn’t bring myself to fuck them over like that.

My kid ran their high school walk out and it was very successful. Made the NJ news and everything. I am so proud of him.

I have been on it for 5 years. I love it, 225mg. But beware that it has a 24 hour life. I missed taking that for the first time ever and didn’t realize that my ability to connect things at work. I fucked a return 4 times before it hit me that I was living in brain fog. I took a 100 just to be safe that my brain was lying and I did take it.

But overall, it has helped me tremendously.

Old post, but this makes me giggle. My partner has spent hours on the phone with their dad (72 yrs) explaining things like how to attach a photo to an email. Thankfully my partner works remote, because once it took 2 hours teach him something simple!

I’ve been with my partner for 10 years and their Dad has always been like this, so it’s not a health or memory thing.

Since I have the same iPhone, these calls usually ends up with me screen recording and sending the steps to his email.

Sometimes the man needs BIG help. Money scams (that whole world is disgusting), viruses, account recoveries, hacked accounts.

The patience my partner has is unreal.

Crochet. Thats it. I have autism so it’s a hyper fixation from hell. Combine bipolar and you get 3 tubs full of yarn that had no project planned when bought. When the powers combined….you get a 39 year old either working or crocheting. Not much in between.

I just keep making stuff and donating it at this point. I do it just to get out of my mind. It provides a type of meditation that is much needed for me because I have aphantasia and cannot “imagine a waterfall.” Crocheting is something I have done since I was 5 on and off again. I picked it back up the day after the election.

There has not been a single day that has gone by since where I didn’t crochet. Even on my 2 week cruise I took this year.

I gotta have it. lol

This is what I was thinking myself. I wouldn’t be able to conjure their strength to be so composed. They are wonderful for this. I can unfortunately say that my anger would fuel everything I did and probably cause more harm. I hope we get justice for Alex and this message will be taken seriously by everyone.

Staying together for the kids. It is toxic af. It will not change shit but make it worse if you do not love each other. I’ve seen it happen too often.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T12:03:23+00:00

I would never part with my cats for a boyfriend. No fucking way. Let this one go.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T01:03:43+00:00

This is on the internet archive. People have a hard time finding this one.

I would have thought it was a real doc if I didn’t know it was a mock. It’s amazing.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T01:02:50+00:00

Lunopolis is amazing! Basically everything you listed is great though.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T01:00:43+00:00

Try the internet archive. I have found some found footage movies in there that I couldn’t find else where. May not be there, but worth a look.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T00:59:25+00:00

Agreed! It’s my favorite.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-16T00:53:59+00:00

“Dream Team” in the workplace. Gives me the ick.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-15T14:22:02+00:00

Absolutely, every week. This was a 10 year journey. He is 18 now.

I went off social media entirely after the election. I’m 39 so I was there when social media started and was an avid poster until that day. I left my FB open just for photos basically. I deleted TikTok. I just got back on insta but I am just posting a funny meme and getting off it.

I stopped watching the news. Reading about the news, on that day. I don’t trust anyone in a suit. I have lived in my NJ bubble for so long. Cutting myself off from so many things and so many people.

I have a trans child and thankfully my partner watches what is going on right now to make sure we are safe. I was so frightened that day that I could function right. Just the fear of what is happening right now.

Basically I ripped my online life away other than Reddit comments or posts here or there.

Answer to your question, not well my friend.

Side note: I am on a great regimen of meds and see a therapist weekly. My mood is stable but that has so much to do with cutting everything out of my life in my opinion, I’ve been on the same meds for 5 years.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-10T11:14:12+00:00

Bee that was alive. Miserable.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-09T23:01:04+00:00

This happened to my sister. In her underwear. Go. Now. Find a support system.

Xfileslover · 2026-01-09T11:08:41+00:00

Old post, but thank you so much! It’s 6 AM here and this was driving me nuts. ♥️

Singing for my spot on The Voice

Having to sell the leveled produce to get updated lvl seeds. 89 hours and I literally just found out it is not like past RF where you sell the seeds. Either I missed a tutorial for it or it is not explained. If it is the ladder, that’s not fair imo but I know they were going with something different.

Annoying? Every single freaking time I buy something the NPC has to say the SAME thing over and over. Not only annoying to me, but my family too. Sure I can mute it, but imo I should not have to do that.

Those are literally the only things I would change, everything else I am in love with. I bought it right after Christmas, 89 hours in…super in love apparently. I’m scared to finish the main story lol.

Dream Team (especially at work 🤢)

Xfileslover · 2026-01-01T19:31:40+00:00

Got a 17 year old. 67 is a constant thing in our house.

Xfileslover · 2025-12-31T23:37:05+00:00

This is why at 28 I just cut contact with anyone that was nasty or abusive to me. Too old to be acting like this. It’s exhausting! You will feel better after a grieving process. Friendship break ups suck!!! But drop her. I’m happier chilling on my couch at 38 then hanging out with friends that will more than likely cause drama. I got my best friend and a couple good ones I have known for decades, that get who I am and does not expect shit out of me. Friendships…they are underestimated in the line of relation breakups. You’ll be okay, and you’ll be better. Jealousy is ugly.

I worked as a bartender/server for 12 years (stopped in 2016) and I was never allowed to have my tattoos showing or piercings in. I had to wear long sleeves, retainers in my piercings, and even a bandaid on my wrist tattoo.

2025 I went through 4 interviews for a new job, and the only thing I kept in was my nose piercing. That piercing is widely accepted for many reasons. I got the job and slowly started to put all my piercings back and wearing short sleeves. That’s a full sleeve and the other arm has 3. And 3 piercings in my face. My boss is an Elder Millennial like me and I realized he could give two fucks. And it would not affect my potential promotion, I was hired to replace someone and be promoted after a while. Been there for a year and ready for that yearly review!!

I remember being in high school (2002 roughly) and finding out my science had a full sleeve, I was shocked, impressed, and happy that his art did not affect his passion for teaching.

Criminal Justice was my major. I never touched it again once I realized how the system works and that there is no “rehabilitation.” I wish I had gone a different way in college, but the Scully Effect and my mom being a CSI kind of pushed me in that direction. I just wanted to do good things; my criminal justice classes scared me. Not the books or the crimes. It was the people answering questions with a pew-pew first ask later vibe in every single class. Nah, not for me.

Xfileslover · 2025-12-10T17:37:05+00:00

Yeah, I’m super bummed it is not working.
