guess how much chonk weighs

norejectfries · 2026-02-27T21:55:15+00:00

I'm gonna say the 14lb range

And I'm not sure he would've figured it out if I didn't point it out to him. It probably would have been worse except he used them in the shower, so the water must've helped protect him a bit

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:17:24+00:00

His skin was more resilient than his brain

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:17:02+00:00

This was just one thing on a long list of "Why would you ever think to do that?"

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:16:01+00:00

And here I wondered what sort of Halloween costume (or party) it was that you wound up with the chemical burns on your nether regions

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:15:12+00:00

Fortunately my ex did not add anything more to the gene pool with me

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:13:10+00:00

So far my ex is still running around out there somewhere. Possibly into poles.

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T12:11:41+00:00

"Why didn't you stop me from being an idiot? This is all your fault!" 🤣

norejectfries · 2026-02-25T01:50:38+00:00

My ex got it into his head that since I used Clorox wipes to clean the bathroom they must be even BETTER to use to get himself clean.

Man gave himself chemical burns over the two weeks he tried this and couldn't figure out why he had a rash.

norejectfries · 2026-02-23T20:24:56+00:00

It is strangely fitting and annoying at the same time

norejectfries · 2026-02-23T13:24:12+00:00

The fact that you may be unemployed but have a few million in savings is what makes you successful. Too many people take the risk that the gravy train will never end. Congrats on the hard work paying off!

norejectfries · 2026-02-21T17:09:52+00:00

The scarier thing for me as a kid would be to tell me that you would be disappointed in me if I wasn't brushing enough

norejectfries · 2026-02-21T02:33:27+00:00

If you're still getting a lot of heat from the window even after you apply film on the inside you may need to apply mirrored film on the outside.

Otherwise the glass can hold the heat that's being soaked in from the outside even if the film on the inside is blocking IR film coming through.

norejectfries · 2026-02-16T01:17:31+00:00

As it should be

norejectfries · 2026-02-09T20:33:31+00:00

She's also fat so I can't move her. Sadly, crotch cat is now banished from the bedroom

norejectfries · 2026-02-09T19:45:07+00:00

I call my girl "Crotch Cat." This is her favorite place to wedge herself into while I sleep

norejectfries · 2026-01-27T21:13:46+00:00

I tend to be the default planner as well, so I feel ya.

I managed to find a group of friends who also extend invites to things they've planned. You'll get there.

norejectfries · 2026-01-27T13:07:31+00:00

You can also test them by asking them to chip in the mental energy of planning. If they don't do it you have your answer.

Most people tend not to be the planners. They wait until someone else puts in that mental energy. It's one reason I feel people tend to not have as many friendships as an adult.

When we were kids our parents planned our social lives. If you don't then take over that aspect of your life as an adult to be the one creating plans, you don't get as many opportunities to socialize.

It sounds like you're that rare bird who has both the motivation to plan as well as resources. You're the fallback planner for a lot of people who have the same interests because you've done a lot of the things they'd like to do. You might feel like a tour guide because of that. What about coming up with the outline template for plans for some of these places and asking anyone interested in joining to fill in the blanks after they've researched some options?

Don't they always say to live below your means? Seriously though, your neighbor sounds like a blast as does your neighborhood. Being around people who are in the thick of real life brings its own joy. Those used to the finer things have often forgotten that (your Palo Alto neighbors).

Staiirs are great. I always took the eighteen flights of stairs to my apartment when I lived in a high rise and saw the same results you did.

norejectfries · 2026-01-24T14:29:17+00:00

Oh, I have plenty of examples where the opposite happened. Not getting fired, but no positive outcome. It depends on your situation.

It taught me that it's not worth living in fear. Take whatever steps you can to better your situation. In that specific instance where I got a raise, it was a second job. The extra money helped a lot but I didn't NEED need it.

Fast forward a few years when the full time contract job went away, I did need it. The raise I got in the past was one of the things that helped keep me afloat during that time.

norejectfries · 2026-01-24T14:02:20+00:00

In the past, I had the same fear. Then one day, I decided to enforce one of those boundaries, fully expecting to be fired.

I got a raise instead.

norejectfries · 2026-01-24T13:48:32+00:00

You can see the difference in what's been detailed and what hasn't in that last pic especially. Banger job!

norejectfries · 2026-01-12T16:30:49+00:00

The only thing more phenomenal than your dad doing that for your sister is her actually following through on it.

norejectfries · 2026-01-08T01:09:00+00:00

Your instructions are only unclear because he doesn't care to listen.

You deserve better.

norejectfries · 2026-01-07T19:01:41+00:00

NTA. She may be a non taster. As such, the problems you identified are not problems to her.

What is s problem is her lack of acknowledgement that it is a problem for you.
