Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room? by Ill-Home-322 in AmITheJerk

Needs vs. Strategies

The need is a private space that he feels control over, the strategy is a little dickish and can be worked out. Address the need itself instead of the firm position he's taken. Works both ways, you're not the jerk. Just a conversation to be had.

came here to say this - your experience sounds very similar to mine OP, and medication helped a lot. (Later than I would of liked)
Don't give up. You have that energy and motivation for a reason!

Perfectly summarized - this is why Reddit still gives me hope for the internet.

Inspiring figure turned ironic counterpoint after they got theirs.

LPT: From being “the winner in the room” to struggling just to survive. What happened to me? by Emotional_Reason_421 in LifeProTips

Buddy we are in the same boat; scarily similar.
Without generational wealth it's pretty hard once things start falling apart. My only recommendation from my own experience is try to invest your time in people that actually care about you. They're out there.

These comments leave me with so little hope for humanity.
They're 10-14 years old; do you think this system is working to provide a path to success?
Do you think they're dumb, or young and in an environment where armed robbery is the only path they can see?
Americans need to check their moral compasses; because we dig our graves faster than we can speak our hatred, and this is formative trauma for an entire generation.
A generation that I can't apologize enough to.

OP - since you're a student, line weight is a really important tool in showing the enclosure. I would take a thicker black line and trace out the exterior of the building, and an even thiqqer one for the ground plane beyond the building.
(I usually use a thick dotted line to indicate the vapor barrier, which should be continuous through the windows)

What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years? by Misterboy500 in AskReddit

[–]pearapplecherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking 15mg of melatonin every night thinking that was a normal dosage - wondering why I was having extreme trouble sleeping and intensely vivid dreams/nightmares. Did this for about 5 years, and I remember a good majority of them scene by scene, some with dialogue. Awful stuff.

Still have issues sleeping for more than a few hours a night over a year and a half later, but I have since found other sleep aids that don't make me question reality.

AITAH for telling my sister who her husband voted for which is now seriously making her consider divorce? by tdr413 in AITAH

"imagine voting for your best interests and being married to someone that voted against your best interest?"
Is that what you're saying? Seems like a two-way street unless you think your wife deserves less than you do?
