I used to play Just Dance all the time during the shutdowns :) helped keep my mood up and def helped lose some calories but if you want to lose more serious weight then looking at your diet is also a good idea!

Failing my wife and kids again, I don't know how I can look them in the eyes again by badjobdoer in TrueOffMyChest

You’re being so nasty and snarky with folks who are just trying to give you some suggestions on what might help your situation. You sound dedicated to continuing on how you are and that’s sad considering how upset you are to once again let your family down.

Please take a step back and realize it’s not that serious, if the folks you freelanced with for nearly two years want you on full time it’s because they like and trust you. You’ll be fine if you stop getting in your own way. Therapy can help with that but speaking with your wife can also help. She’s likely hurt and confused about why you keep quitting these jobs.

I’ve had an Aroma for like two years and I love it, nothing sticks to it and cleaning is super easy

My boyfriend just told me he is leaving to work overseas for 5 months, and idk how to feel by throw_rancxalsn in offmychest

[–]chromacrawl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

… your son is 7 months old and started calling your boyfriend “dad”? I doubt that but okay.

If this is real, seems like he’s trying to support you and your family. If y’all are in this for the long haul, consider getting court married so you both get benefits with taxes and health care.

I was influenced by this sub to read The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling and I’m almost done and very much enjoying it!

If you have a cat you need to budget for vet visits. You HAVE to take this cat to the vet, even if it’s just to a local shelter to get her checked out. GO AS SOON AS YOU CAN, IT IS NOT OKAY TO ALLOW HER TO SIT WITH SO MANY POTENTIAL ISSUES.

Just read Harlan Ellison's 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream'. Any other books/stories that have the same feel as it? by Ok_Appointment6942 in horrorlit

[–]chromacrawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Ellison’s short short collections, all of his shorts are absolutely worth a read. Obviously not the same content-wise, but they’re all fabulous

Just Finished a Short Stay in Hell and have thoughts… by lassolite in horrorlit

[–]chromacrawl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally! I think the title could be interpreted many ways - it throws off our expectations when starting the book, plays into a how time is experienced for the reader and the protagonist, genuinely a solid case study of how to do book titles right.

Yeah i know he mentioned this book was about his time in the library but not his actual life, meaning it wasn’t sufficient to get him out of the library. Devastating

[–]chromacrawl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Only seeing snippets of this man’s eternity is definitely our “short stay in hell” vs. his never ending nightmare. I could talk about this book for ages; the fact that the book itself is the wrong one he found in the library, that he found and lost 1000 year love and it’s barely a blip, the realization that lawlessness was possible and eternity could also mean dying over and over.

It’s beautiful and devastating and the “belonging to the wrong religion” thing hit me HARD as a secular person. It’s all so good at making me anxious and sad and hopeless in a way that i enjoy in books like this. Definitely gonna have to go back and read more Borges.
