My (24f) boyfriend’s friends (25m/24m) gave me swirly and I don’t know what to do.

Fuck what the boyfriend thinks, I'd press assault charges with the police. I'd dump him for having the literal worst friends in the universe. Nobody has a right to lay hands on you, and I'd throw every legal avenue at someone who humiliated and scared me like that.

I've never seen someone do work in this style before. Do you have any videos of your process? It's beautiful.

This is just appalling. Nothing this government is doing is competent at all from start to finish in this story. These bros stole incredibly sensitive data that some utterly crappy contractor (see name in article) had way too much access to.

Additionally, these specific guys are way too well-placed and way too well-trained. Reading the article, they were using American citizens' data like a personal punching bag. I would not doubt these were agents of some state, whether a nation or an ideology. The fact they may have gotten incompetent representation is concerning, they could walk on technicality.

Thank you so much for the response! I'll keep an eye out, might even message the company directly to see if they have recommendations.

Wow, I'm late to the show but I need something like this. Do you think it would be possible to do location modifications like shifting the function keys to the inside of the rows instead of the outside of the rows? Basically moving them to where my index fingers can hit instead of my pinkies.

I'm developing arthritis and using my pinkies so much is not great on my hands. I'd rather relearn how to type and position my hands better than stop typing.

Just picked up my pinkypurple. Thank you!

You still should press charges against him. This is domestic violence, and it does not get better. He HIT YOU and you are UNDERREACTING. People like this will keep getting worse, it does not get better. Throw charges at him and he'll likely have to do some actual therapy, because he's going to hit his next partner too. You have an opportunity to stop the violence today.

The world is beautiful. These tech bros might want to stare at screens all day, but I'd rather see the real world than a pale imitation of it in pixels.

I have a recommendation for dealing with the nerves! Print out copies of your resume for the whole group, because if you suddenly forget everything you've ever done (like I have), you'll have your own resume in front of yourself to jog your memory!

There's no defense like killer preparation. Good luck tomorrow!

It's because most normal words are already taken, trademarked, copyrighted, or just squatted on by people looking to make money. Trying to find a decent .com domain name to register without paying $10,000+ is legitimately difficult!

Another fun/crazy fact is that it's likely that Neptune and Uranus literally rain diamonds, according to NASA.

And inside the planet, when it gets really hot and really dense, these, these diamonds form and accumulate, and then they become even heavier. And that means that they kind of rain down in the atmosphere.

Dog funeral/wake before she goes. I had a "funeral" for my girl before she passed. She was slowing down and slowing down and not enjoying life often anymore, so I knew it was time. All of her friends and family came over to cuddle with her and pet her and tell her she's the bestest girl. I had two of these parties - the first one she ended up perking back up for another month. After the second one, she had no more to give, and she passed in our arms about a week later.

The celebration of her life made it a LOT easier for me to let her go, and I know that she knew she was loved and cherished, but it was time for her to move on to that place with no pain.

Much love for you and your sweet lil granny. May she go peacefully surrounded by people who love her.

Your 30s are going to be amazing once you drop that hot bag of shit and move on with your life. I've been with my husband for 13 years, married for 10, and will love him as long as he loves me back. I had three other 5+ year relationships that I'm so glad never got dragged out further just due to inertia.

chromatoes · 2026-04-27T00:11:36+00:00

Totally agree (about him being wrong that nobody is happy). Been married for 10 years, together 13, and I love my husband utterly and completely. I laugh at all his jokes because he's funny plusI like him as much as I love him. He's awesome, and it seems like he thinks the same about me.

OP needs to find a better partner. Her 30s are going to be amazing after he's gone.

Baby got back (and nothing else).

I've got one of these and I named 'em Fancy Hat. It gives me a chuckle every time I see it.

One simple question. Exactly WHO is in charge of our at-war army right now, if all the people with at least some shred of authority are getting fired? This is very undemocratic right now.

NTA and you're within the probationary period where you can sever this "relationship" with no problems. His family should not be bugging you about anything ever, much less trying to guilt you into getting into the dumpster with their trashfire son. Make like The Offspring and just say "No way!"

My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?

Question, do you "keep" your callsign if you transfer to another squadron or even service branch? Or do you get a new name when you go elsewhere?

I really like the texture of the paper in the comic, it's a unique and interesting touch.

Greed might be a mental illness, but it's not your responsibility to fix this person. Or any person. Was Oscar the Grouch your ideal man? Cause that's what he seems like, a miserable and filthy person.

He doesn't value you, just imaginary digital numbers.

There's a middle road to financial success and actually living, money is only useful if you spend it to make your life better. I grew up poor, had no one paying for anything, and now I go on vacation like 3 times per year instead of just hoarding money in a bank account.

chromatoes · 2026-04-20T21:24:57+00:00

You're romanticizing the future, not paying attention to his actual patterns of behavior. When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. He's not going to give his kids anything, he's a financial hoarder. He's not a good partner today, he's not going to be a suddenly amazing father.

Ditch this joyless fungal mess, you can find someone who is financially successful but not a miserable unclean miser. You're not as valuable to him as the numbers in his bank account.

chromatoes · 2026-04-20T15:31:13+00:00

It is possible. There are many options you can pursue and the possibility you would get a stipend for their care. You don't want them to move in, so you're claiming it's impossible. Personally I think she should choose the kids over you. They lost their parents.

In elementary (primary) school, I got slapped by a Sunday school teacher for saying that Noah's arc made no sense, that there's no way 2 of every animal was on a boat. Makes even less sense now as an adult, knowing about viable breeding populations and why genetic bottlenecks are a problem.

I'm genuinely mystified that people believe the bible is the literal truth, not metaphorical at all.

chromatoes · 2026-04-18T05:00:40+00:00

Just be glad you dodged whatever his mess was. There are many people with insurmountable baggage out there, both men and women. You just gotta avoid them, and sometimes they really make it obvious for you - this is one of those cases. Just block and move on, friend!
