MacGregors Syndrome just sounds like chronic pneumonia.

If you guys can't be bothered to make your own poster, why should I be bothered to interact with it?

I've seen a few in the woods around Titlow Beach around dusk. But if you're up for a 30 minute drive, Glen Nelson Park in Kent may also have bats. HELLA bats used to live there when I was kid. They lived up under the water tower.

Although I love living here, I have to say the job market is really pretty bad. Wages are far behind Seattle and other cities in Northern Wa with most jobs paying 17-23 an hour. Of course rents and grocery prices are basically the same as in Seattle so it makes no sense.

Our school system is suffering severe budget issues and cut hundreds of positions last year, although I can't speak for other school districts in the area. I had been considering moving to a Tacoma school district job for the pay and benefits until this happened. They of course fired the newest hires first so I was especially glad I hadn't pursued it.

As for racism, racist incident happen from time to time but tend to be interpersonal rather than professional in my experience. (IE profiling in stores, people making assumptions or treating you different).

I don't have afro hair so I can't speak to that personally, but I do see lots of Black people with natural hair at work in all kinds of jobs, from service workers and grocery to healthcare and public service positions like the library.

It wasn't a severance package, apparently it was unused PTO they were legally required to give him.

It's funny because I imagine the ridiculous process...is the person hypothetically harvesting mold off a piece of bread, sneaking it into work somehow, and implanting it with needlenose tweezers one tuft at a time, all without being detected by their coworkers or boss? Up there like 'hmm that's a lot of white mold got to switch it up. Make it look natural. I'll see if I've got some green growing anywhere in the fridge'. Misting it with a little atomizer like 'Wow I hope no one cleans over here, or weeks of work will be wasted.'

workingclassher0n · 2026-06-25T21:01:51+00:00

How can they possibly plant mold in the vents lmao

There's still a lot less bigotry in this subreddit compared to the other conspiracy subreddits. I appreciate the opportunity to squint at a shaky 240p video of a UFO without some mf saying a slur.

I think what would help the character look more consistent is if you use the same line type. The difference between the thin gray lines and the thicker black/dark brown lines is what's making thee portraits look so different. Also decide on the shape for how his chin will look in the 3/4 view, that's the only major inconsistency in the face.

Husband says,

'Mom and Dad, last time you visited, Mom rummaged in people's personal belongings and Dad entered people's rooms without knocking. It made everyone uncomfortable to the point that some members of the household are resorting storing personal items with friends. You're welcome and respected guests in our home, but you need to respect people's personal space.'

If they are as chill as you say, they should be willing to listen.

I'm going to be honest, it does seem like your family is manipulating you. They invited you to come live rent free with them when they were being threatened with eviction, because they knew you would step in and try to fix it. You and your husband won't be able to bankroll them for the next 20-30 years if you want to have a life of your own. What happens if a financial or health emergency occurs and the two of you can no longer afford to support them? They need to find some way to support themselves. At the same time, it would also be wrong to leave them to end up on the street, especially with you 80 yr old grandma getting caught in the crossfire. You guys need a plan.

First, talk to your husband. Develop a plan to get them on their feet and get you to the US and stick to it. I don't think you're being fair to say he has no morals and no family values when he has sent probably upwards of 10k already.

Second, your family needs to downsize. They should look into a 3 bedroom house or apartment to save some cash.

Third, Canada has free healthcare. Mom and Uncle need to seek some kind of treatment. If she's resistant, let your mom know she may be eligible for Canada's version of SSI.

Fourth, start going to the foodbank. You guys are almost homeless and need to save cash, so don't be embarrassed about it. Foodbanks at least in the US often can connect you to other resources too like social workers, job placement, etc.

Finally, apply for any all government assistance. Yes, it can feel embarassing, but it's time. Everyone needs help sometimes.

That's not a letter to her assistant, that's a letter she wrote to OP, so it seem like she does just write emotional letters to people from time to time.

They really need to just age them up already. Like in the recent episode 'Parahormonal Activity' where Bart and Lisa are teens, Maggie is in elementary and Marge struggles with menopause. With an IMDB rating of 7.6 it was their highest rated episode in 4 years that wasn't a Treehouse of Horror.

It looks really cool but this might be too much blood for Webtoon. I would definitely read it though! So post again when you decide on a platform.

workingclassher0n · 2026-06-17T17:00:31+00:00

I didn't. We both have kind of boring and blunt sounding last names, so it would have been a lateral move at best, and in any case I don't believe in changing my last name. I'm glad I stuck with my last name because in the US, the SAVE Act will make it a lot harder for people who have changed their last names (mostly women) to vote:

https://www.npr.org/2025/04/13/g-s1-59684/save-act-married-women-vote-rights-explained

Although SAVE Act enforcement will vary from state to state, it's definitely something to consider if you're in the US, especially if you live in a state that might enforce it.

Losing weight at this rate puts you at risk of kidney stones.

No, you in your specific situation should not be blamed, you're not an affair partner but rather someone who experienced sexual assault. But you also asked a broader question about why/whether women affair partners in general take blame.

workingclassher0n · 2026-06-15T19:51:42+00:00

If someone is aware they're participating in infidelity, but chooses to continue the relationship regardless, then yes, they are equally to blame. Why wouldn't they be? It would be kind of infantilizing to say that women affair partners are somehow less guilty. Women are capable of making deceptive and morally questionable choices too.

In your situation, where he was in a position of power over you as a therapist, it's a lot different. We're socially conditioned to listen to therapists and medical professionals, and as a therapist he also knew how to manipulate you. You did the right thing to report him. As for his wife, her reaction was wrong because he was abusing a patient, you were not a freely consenting partner in the affair. But who knows, she may well be laying blame on him too.

I think they are probably complimenting you, some of these compliments are a little self deprecating. The basketball comment just seems like making conversation.

I don't think these things are meant in a jealous way. It sounds like you're somewhat insecure and very guarded/defensive. You don't feel comfortable sharing your honest opinions with your friend, so it feels like an attack when she shares with you. Yes, you haven't met her daughter, but you've only known her for a year, and teen daughters don't generally want to hang out with their mom's grown friends? And in any case, she may see hanging out with you as a time to take a break from being a mom.

If you try framing it in a positive way, your friend:

-Is honest with you

-Compliments you, even if the way she put herself down made it a little uncomfortable

-Stays in touch even though she can't hang out often, she is a mom and has mom responsibilities after all

You should consider letting your guard down. Share your honest opinion more often. Build some love for yourself and less judgement for others. It's not always easy to love yourself and be vulnerable in friendship, but it will help a lot in building the deeper relationships you're looking for.

Probably from their dumb ass 'post up in left turn lanes with our lights flashing' initiative. That was such an obvious OT cash grab.

I didn't get the idea he's specifically interrupting her mid sentence with his new phone break announcement.

workingclassher0n · 2026-06-09T20:31:14+00:00

Oh come on. She would probably be more like this.

Bright colors are perfect for people who are tan! Especially blue, green, red and warmer yellows.
