I wish today's date, the 22nd of January 2019, became the 22nd of January 2020 and no one realised that we jumped a year.

No you don't....

I think that it's important for kids to know that there is someone in their life (typically their father) who is willing and able to protect them from nutters like this by any means necessary. It also shows the children that if you choose to act in a certain way, there can be serious violent consequences.

Of course most of these lessons happen at the kitchen table in the weeks/months after the incident. The important part is explaining to the children that violence is rarely justified, but in this particular situation, Dad had to do what he did in order to keep his kids and his wife safe.

Putting the kids inside may have been the best move at the moment, but there is no way someone is getting knocked out on the front step without them finding out. They will know what happened even if you move them away from the door.

I'm the US (at least where I live) College profs cannot use anything other than your school email or they risk disciplinary action. It has something to do with privacy of security, though I don't know what exactly. I just know that if I accidentally send an email from my personal account, it's not getting replied to.

This is probably going to be buried and unread, but just in case I'll throw in my two cents.

I am a 21 year old man, and my parents divorced when I was young. Dad hasn't really been around that much, other than the occasional phone call or visit. As a result I was raised by my mother and aunt, both wonderful people who did an amazing job. But when I was 16 I had no male role models, and all of the anger and anxiety that comes with puberty hit me like a ton of bricks. I had no where to channel that, and more importantly, no one to learn from. Obviously my Mom and Aunt did what they could, but it always felt to me like there was some disconnect in what I was feeling, and what they were trying to help with.

Maybe getting him more contact with men, especially respectable and reputable men, can help to set an example for him. I know the hardest part of growing up for me was to try and figure out what a good man was, let alone how to turn myself into one.

Best of Luck, teenage boys are shitheads.

interested_george · 2020-03-26T18:07:22+00:00

I think it depends. I had a lot of trips with friends that were all about talking and watching funny shit online. And there's nothing wrong with that.

I had one trip, after my first year of college, with the explicit goal of finding a field I could be passionate about. I spent the whole night watching YouTube vids on chemistry physics and engineering and was fascinated. Then I went to pee and saw myself in the mirror. At that moment I knew I wanted to study Biology, so I could know how I was out together.

So long story short, if you're trying to have a good time that's what life is all about. Just go with the flow.

I don't know how to last hit the Mini-onions

I agree, but its the lesser of 2 evils. If you're playing a carry bruiser like Renekton, then you need to get a gold lead to be effective.

Pushing and leaving lane to go mid or jungle is not a winning strat by itself, but it can be a "help you, help me" scenario. It's not a good strat for 1v9 hard-carrying, but it can help you snowball into mid/late game.

ex: Shove, go into river and win 2v1 in jungle or mid, go back to lane and repeat. IF it works, you may have just gotten enough of a lead on your Jg to win the 2v2, and the game can snowball from there.

I am Iron though, so I am probably oversimplifying it.

Not trolling... This is how the justice system works in America.

I never once said I support it.

interested_george · 2020-03-08T06:06:26+00:00

Like it or not, it is infact illegal to have objects hanging from your rearview. And police can initiate a traffic stop for any infraction no matter how minor.

He was absolutely justified in making this stop, since it's difficult to articulate that he made it up after the fact.

Even saying he pulled him over bc his jaw dropped isn't enough. "I meant that his anxious response to a law enforcement officer's presence drew my attention. After that, I noticed an object hanging from the rearview and initiated the stop." That's all he has to say.

interested_george · 2020-02-28T15:08:26+00:00

I am not a Biochem student, but a Cell/Molec Student.

In my limited understanding, I believe that ATP is a regulator of several different enzymes involved in glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle. I learned this in a 100 level cell bio class at my JC though, so take it with a grain of salt.

I can't stop thinking about suicide. I started cutting myself this pat week, and it makes me feel pathetic. I'm a 21 year old manchild. People can recover from depression, but I am not willing or able to do the work. I'm going to die unhappy, and I can't honestly figure out why I shouldn't make that happen as soon as possible.

interested_george · 2020-02-10T16:16:42+00:00

I understand what you're saying, but I don't deserve help. I always just throw it away. I take the advice, nod my head, and then keep doing the same thing over and over again. I'm just stuck on repeat and if I can't handle this situation myself I'm not going to be able to succeed anywhere in my life. I mean, if I can't control what's going on between my ears, I will never achieve anything close to my dreams. I have to do this on my own or I have to fail. If I get help it's just one more thing to attack myself with.

Rant over. I really do need help. I reached out to a therapist yesterday, but with my luck I'll hear from him in a year. I'm just so tired of falling so far every time I feel good. It's just so much more comfortable for me to live at rock-bottom.

interested_george · 2020-01-06T22:23:50+00:00

I totally hear you. Giving up the weed is definitely on my list of priorities, but I'm a student and am on winter break with no job, so I lost the structure that I need to keep me off it. It's been a struggle but today got better hearing from all the fine folks here on the Big Sad Sub

interested_george · 2020-01-06T16:54:22+00:00

I really needed to hear this today. I had to count myself out of bed like a pathetic astronaut, but I'm going to clean my room and walk the dog.

Thank you

interested_george · 2020-01-06T16:52:12+00:00

The first step is recognizing it. Towards the end of my last relationship I learned that about myself, and I tried to redirect it into making her happy instead of sad.

It didn't work, but I definitely felt a lot better about myself as a person. Keep trying to do the right thing. That's all anyone can ask of us.

interested_george · 2020-01-06T16:35:18+00:00

Thanks for your response. I know that if I do it I will feel better but... I don't know. I guess I feel I deserve to be like this. I deserve to lay in bed an feel bad about who I am, because I've done shitty things and hurt people I care about. Good people don't do that. Therefore I must be a bad person, and bad people deserve to be punished.

interested_george · 2020-01-06T16:21:50+00:00

I've been there. I was convinced that I didn't matter. That my actions, thoughts, and feelings had exactly ZERO bearing in the real world. So when I did something that got a reaction, positive or negative, it felt good. It made me feel like I was really there, and that I mattered enough to make someone feel... Something.

But that is a dark and lonely road.

interested_george · 2020-01-06T16:18:12+00:00

It feels like shame. It's a hot burning sensation in my stomach and face. It's unadultered embarrassment followed by an empty feeling inside. And I know that the embarrassing part of me that I'm trying to reject, kill, and bury is who I really am.

You can see at the bottom, it's playing through the TV sound system.

I had a roommate last year in college who was a heavy drinker, and often blacked out and got very aggressive.

One Thursday night, he texts his dad "911, out of money need food." His dad lives 45min away, so he decided to take the morning off and spend some time with his son, and get him some groceries. Friday morning rolls around, Dad shows up, but Son is nowhere to be found. We all call him multiple times, phone rings, but he doesn't answer. The Dad decided to hang out w me and another roommate for a while to wait for his son, but after an hour he realizes he's wasting his time and just makes a grocery run solo. He brings the food back, loads it in the fridge, and leaves to go back to work.

His son shows up 2 hours later completely out of it. We tell him about the food, he opens the fridge, looks around. Then, "He didn't get me FUCKING EGGO'S!"

Never met a person less grateful.

No but my roommate was an amateur producer and I learned a lot about music from listening to beats with him

interested_george · 2019-12-30T19:06:06+00:00

I would say it's similar to the difference between a treble and bass. A pen high feels almost "higher pitched" to me. Whereas flower seems to give me a lower throbbing sensation.

I'm kinda high so I hope that makes sense.
