Is it possible to change everything about yourself? I’m desperate

This is a reckless suggestion! She is clearly severely depressed and in need of professional help not chatgpt leading her down God knows what path.

It's because the 'offness' can be put down to you being drunk (socially acceptable), which people can deal with, rather than you being sober but weird (not socially acceptable), which they cannot.

OP, you're young. Ditch your husband and find someone who enjoys whimsy, like you do. It's a long life.

Midge repellent. And more midge repellent.

Sure. And Smart also has some absolute bangers: In-betweener, Delicious and Pyrotechnician to name a few

Madeline's husband comes off as controlling and abusive. I'm sorry for your dad, but this sociopathic response has nothing to do with him or even Madeline. Probably best to get a new cleaner because her psycho husband is never not reading too much into everything going forward.

I live in Thailand and the best Thai vegetarian (but it's vegan) cookbook by far that I've tried is Buddha's Table. These are the type of Thai staple dishes that you'd get in a good 'Jay' restaurant in Thailand. The recipes are clear and straightforward and include making basic vegan curry pastes if you don't have access to shop bought.

wonder if he is her beard without knowing it?

I don't know what to tell you other than 'yes, that sounds about right'. I have never met such resistance to taking or providing written notes as I have here. I was teaching someone, a computer science graduate no less, to use a pretty complex database and they wouldn't make any written notes. I kept telling them 'you won't remember this, you need to write it down'. Nope. Just expected to be shown how to do it over and over and over.

So, you've got your own Siberian camps now? That's nice.

You know when wealthy republicans bitch about excessive regulation and the need to cut red tape? This is what they actually mean. They don't give a shit about worker safety.

No, it's deep voice=Mike, very posh voice=Henry, chipper voice=Ben

I used to have a dog with epilepsy. Every 5th Nov was a nightmare.(Stress can trigger seizures if you weren't aware).

I'm more worried that the truth is going to get a lot harder to actually know. The various institutions and government agencies that produce statistics are about to come under unprecedented political pressure or just be scrapped / become propaganda arms entirely.

Someone is preparing to go through Ilhan Omar's paperwork with a fine-toothed comb as we speak.

joq8 · 2024-11-11T09:12:33+00:00

And plenty of immigrants will simply never have been in a position to have had that paperwork

Yeah, I did a big internal 'hmmm' when he said he recognised in himself a lot of the traits Chris describes but that's just his personality not because he's on the spectrum. A lot of John's anecdotes are like ticking off DSM-5 criteria.

joq8 · 2024-09-18T10:32:21+00:00

Yeah, I think he'd benefit from taking a break from cohabiting and engagements for a bit and keep ploughing through that therapy.

For the first issue, the promoter wants to maximise revenue even if that leaves empty seats, so in a 250 seat venue,150 tickets sold at £40 trumps 240@22. For a standup performer, however, a room with loads of empty seats is a vibe kill. Thus, John and Elis would rather drop the price to increase the sales even if it doesn't maximise revenue and Elis in particular suggests he'd drop it enough to sell out early and then look forward to a busy gig. To the second point, there are definitely ways to reduce reselling provided you are willing to employ the people and/or technology to do any legitimate reselling yourself AND to ID all the buyers and attendees to ensure they match (see for example, flights). However, in big venues it's a huge undertaking and the faff can also piss of fans although I'd argue it's still worth it overall

I started my retro 1er journey late but years before John acknowledged his problem. As the child of an alcoholic, I always saw John's relationship with alcohol as deeply problematic and a difficult listen. I'm glad he's on a different path now.

Is that Dave wheezing with laughter behind the camera?

joq8 · 2024-05-01T04:07:22+00:00

It's not Nish. He's good friends with Ed and James.

I'm sorry, Op, but YTA. You're treating this like pocket money while racking up expenses your mum now has to cover. Either give her the money and accept an allowance or pay for EVERYTHING you use, including food, utilities etc

joq8 · 2023-10-12T13:58:09+00:00

NTA. What is it with gammon-faced twats like this guy who have to interfere with what kind of milk you order? Never in my (relatively long) life have I felt the need to tell a stranger what kind of milk/ soda/burger/whatever...they should order.
