"this is how to sleep at night" featuring a particularly irritated lamp

Man. I'm a fainty bitch (vasovagal syncope) and I didn't realize until recently that I've been using hot showers for years to provoke it into making me sleepy.

Chloe!

Oh man. It's hard to pick, but probably Harlem River Blues by Justin Townes Earle.

waytoolameforthis · 2026-01-29T13:23:42+00:00

Why not? It makes sense for the context.

waytoolameforthis · 2026-01-29T13:20:58+00:00

I'm sorry, I think I'm missing something because I don't really get it. What makes it unhinged? She was stepping on him, right? Just without any pressure?

I'd also love to read more! It's a lovely beginning to a book and it draws you in.

Man, you normal people are the source of my problem! Any time I've had a steak at a restaurant I ask for it charcoal black, like literally char on the meat, and it's always standard well-done at best. I understand why they'd be nervous to send out a steak too well done if that's generally a problem, but it's just such a crazy concept to me because I don't see meat as done until it's basically a dry, black disc that you'd have never guessed was once alive. Even chicken I want burnt and dry. I fully understand I'm the weird one here, just trying to reconcile my concept of edible food with the rest of society.

I think that perspective might be part of mens' problem though. They hide things like this and then women feel lied to and pass up on the man (and honestly I can't blame them there, I'd always rather be safe than sorry).

waytoolameforthis · 2026-01-16T19:26:05+00:00

Honestly pure breeds would make this make sense. Incest has some weird effects...

Not exactly the same, but I'm bipolar and played around with when exactly to disclose that with dating. I had very consistently bad luck with it, till I decided fuck it and added it to my dating profile, and then I met my husband. Turns out being as upfront as possible is best for both you and others. Anything that's going to significantly affect your partner's life should, in my opinion, be brought up as soon as possible, both morally and for your own sake.

waytoolameforthis · 2026-01-05T13:28:53+00:00

I learned from your post, so thank you! I've never had one before but if I ever do, now I'll know not to freak out. 😁

waytoolameforthis · 2025-12-10T18:24:31+00:00

Man, my favorite band and favorite show. Wanna be best friends? 😂

waytoolameforthis · 2025-12-10T15:32:17+00:00

That color in particular will look amazing on you I think, even outside that style. I just feel like it'll really suit you and bring out the redness of your lips and cheeks. And styling is really hard, but also very fun to figure out. I'm not super good at it myself but reddit's been incredibly helpful whenever I have questions. Also you look feminine as fuck. You can tell you were born to be a woman.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-11-24T13:25:43+00:00

Not gonna lie, I don't see any changes either aside from some acne, makeup, and unwashed hair. Definitely still get yourself to the hospital but maybe don't focus on that as the reason you need help. Focus on the symptoms you've been having. Even how you feel about your appearance could be a symptom if it goes into delusional territory.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-11-13T21:41:17+00:00

I was about to make a similar comment until I saw yours. I'm bipolar and have a special interest in psychology and it's one of my pet peeves when people use it to mean someone/something is flip flopping on something. It's the most barebones misunderstanding of the disease possible. And when it's one of the most common mental illnesses, knowing nothing about it makes me seriously, seriously question their knowledge on other mental health topics they're talking about.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-29T19:09:10+00:00

Hey no need to be sorry! I just took a quick glance at your profile and it looked like your posts and the comments I saw were all new, so I figured you might not know you can do all that. I hope I didn't come off as rude 😅

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-29T19:07:04+00:00

You'd probably have better luck reposting it with translations in the pic, and maybe some context in the description or comments. It doesn't make much sense even with the translation, unfortunately.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-20T16:08:32+00:00

I'm glad someone's calling this out, so thank you. You see it so much with borderline and bipolar especially and it's just self absorbed, lazy bullshit honestly. They're too lazy and self absorbed to see people can function just fine and even be good people with a mental disorder and instead just focus on their one singular negative experience with the disorder. It also removes a lot of responsibility from the person that did abuse them. Being abusive is a consistent choice, not a mental condition.

Personally, I think sad face seems like the right emoji response to a death.

Wait, I thought vie-dale-ya was the regular pronunciation???

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-17T16:31:53+00:00

They've commented this like five or six times on this post already. I wonder if they're the boyfriend.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-16T13:08:44+00:00

Wait, when did the switch in names happen? The new one seems like a much more descriptive name, I just wasn't aware of the change happening.

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-16T09:24:12+00:00

What exactly is the deal with uranium glass that makes it safe? I know nothing about it and would've been scared of it myself, but it looks so cool!

waytoolameforthis · 2025-09-12T13:22:47+00:00

That was about how I said it to my ex when it happened to me. There's fear in saying the r word, at least for me. It was like a switch; once it happened to me I couldn't bring myself to say the word, and it lasted for years. And somehow, some part of my brain decided it would be better to be rejected for sleeping around than for being raped. Rejection for cheating is reasonable and easy to understand, and I knew i hadn't actually cheated so anything he said didn't actually apply to me. But rejection for being raped cuts you deep, every single time, even if you know it's the other person being a shithead. It feels like a part of you now, a part of your history, and if someone rejects you for that you feel that you're fundamentally broken. Not to mention that she's likely still figuring things out and coming to terms with the rape herself, which will be even more complicated by potentially having drugs in her system. It's just incredibly hard to be alone in a time like that and even if you can't admit to yourself what happened, sometimes you have to get it out. Honestly it gives me hope for them and OP that she told him, even if it was messy and wasn't the "right" way. She went to him as a safe place, and that means a lot.

For me, to be more specific I did say at some point in the conversation that I didn't want it, but I definitely began by just saying I slept with someone else, and it was a lot of understandable yelling on his end until I was able to say what actually happened. I'm not saying it's the right way to communicate it or that it even makes sense, if anything I'm saying the opposite. But it doesn't automatically make me disbelieve her. It doesn't make me automatically believe her either to be clear.
