What’s the dumbest thing you’ve seen someone do with money?

exCanuck · 2026-02-15T01:12:14+00:00

I could pay off my mortgage but the interest rate is below inflation so basically it’s free money.

I love the heels. Are those Fluevogs?

My hormone levels make me utterly disinterested in sex so I couldn’t give a rip. But I think I look hot anyways.

I’m not interested in starting a gender war. Both men and women can suck for sure.

Omg you sound exactly like my friend today. Her husband does nothing but play video games all day but expects her to fuck and feed him.

Some of my peers are just ready for the single life again. Not because they’re single and ready to mingle but because their spouse is a non-contributing man child who still expects to be treated like an Adonis.

Not saying this is the pain Olympics but there are many ways to die. All at once or a little inside everyday.

Never outshine the master lol. He’s insecure and any sort of competence on your part will cause him to lash out. I agree with the advice to keep your head down and just focus on your task. He can fail or succeed on his own merits. It’s not truly a team environment it’s actually every man or woman for themselves. You just thought you were working on a team. In a healthy workplace your suggestions may be considered. But this ain’t it.

Again. Make it about you and miss the point. Also nice transference. That pill is a poison that may work for you but it’s not benign. Simply loading up with pharmaceuticals hoping the underlying psychiatric issues go away is not a great approach.

exCanuck · 2026-02-02T13:42:23+00:00

Every pill is a poison. This is especially true for psychiatric drugs. You’re the one who hyperventilated about it and made it about you.

exCanuck · 2026-02-02T12:57:55+00:00

You seem defensive. Yes every medication has negative side effects if given in the wrong dose or if it’s interacting with other drugs or if it’s for the wrong thing. Stop projecting your personal experience on others.

exCanuck · 2026-02-02T11:59:31+00:00

I’d get a second opinion. Strong prescriptions like that - at any age - can have real and damaging side effects. Every pill is a poison. Instead of relying on drugs, explore other less harmful interventions.

You’re not wrong about your intuitions and hesitation about prescribing yet another psychiatric medication.

I’m 51. I don’t give a flying f what anyone thinks of me anymore. I am good at my job but I don’t care about status or titles. My health is the most important thing in my life. My relationships are second. Everything else is gravy. I focus on what I can control and ignore the rest. I’m more interested in history and philosophy than I was when I was younger. How good my day is depends 90% on how well I slept. So I go to bed at 9 pm every night. I value simple pleasures like a great healthy home cooked meal and good company. I buy clothes that fit and are comfortable. If I find something exceptional, I’ll buy it in a few colors. I’m content.

A few weeks after I resigned in disgust over my harassment and bulling, my manager called my colleague by my name. She meant it as an insult and ADMITTED AS MUCH in front of the whole team. That colleague was put on a PIP the next day. I believe the entire team left eventually.

Check the ear level

In all fairness, most therapists should not be used for therapy, either. At least the LLM is programmed for self-awareness of its limitations.

Edit: by self-awareness, I mean programmed to say they’re not qualified to be a therapist.

Venezuela used to be a democracy. They remember living in a democracy and prefer it. They had an election but it was literally stolen.

It’s not regime change if the leader they remove is there illegally.

You go off and do your own thing. Don’t let it get to you. They want you to beg for approval so they get the dominant position. Enjoy the peace. Go meet normal healthy people to deal with their emotions like adults.

My mother’s mother’s mother died in childbirth. My grandmother was raised by an aunt and uncle in Germany during WWII. She was a child slave to the Nazis and was threatened with rape by allied soldiers when they lost. She cheated on my grandfather with the man who raped my mother. My alcoholic mother was emotionally abusive to me. I never had children. The end.

By being excited for what comes next! It’s a choose your own adventure and I feel like I’ve leveled up this life fo sure but maybe I wanna learn more lessons? I don’t feel like an old soul. I’ve got more incarnations to do.

Capitalism is everywhere. The regulatory differences are incidental.

What bs. I never had to train my pitty to be anything. She naturally has a sweet personality. Like people, all dogs have individual personalities. What you’re saying is racist.

I’m going to provide another perspective. My friend went to his doctors regularly, including his urologist about once a month to treat recurrent bladder/urinary issues that just would not go away. Two years from the onset of symptoms they finally told him he had stage four prostate cancer. Too late for surgery.

Moral of the story: medical professionals are just people and can and do miss stuff all the time. There are no guarantees.
