Coffee = brain wants to nap, body is vibrating too hard to relax.

Hey, for once an obscure reference I understand!

I’ve been in two abusive relationships as an adult. Two years with a woman who I’m pretty sure had BPD. Five years with a man who hits all the markers for NPD. This tracks, based on my anecdotal experience.

I’m only a mensa genius

There’s your problem. You need to be a stable genius for any of it to make sense.

The ultimate irony is that the first popular incel support community was started by a woman.

That’s pretty much where I’m at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I’ve gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.

I’ve generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don’t believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don’t actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that’s something.

Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They’re also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can’t eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that’s not realistic for everyone and it doesn’t stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.

• I get to drive my very nice new-to-me car on ~1500 km of fun mountain highways next week
• I’m taking a weaving class in a few weeks
• My grandmother’s 100th birthday is next month
• My best friend is coming to visit for the first time in three years this summer, then I’m flying back with her to spend a couple of weeks in her city

I have never spent more time pretending to be busy than when I’ve had to work in an office. And god help the person who drags me away from what I’m doing every five minutes for “meetings”.

True, but the context of the original comment was the federal level, with Alberta being the blue patch in a sea of (federal) red.

Pretty sure they meant red, as in Liberal Party red, as opposed to CPC blue.

I’ve always had a hard time using a controller with the tank controls, but I love the keyboard controls (I may be in the minority here). Worth trying if you’re playing on PC.

My current partner and I are planning on getting married in the next couple of years. He’s wonderful. I don’t see this relationship ending, but if it does my best friend and I plan on throwing darts at a map until we hit somewhere we both like. We’ll get a place and become old punk grandmas together because neither of us wants to deal with dating ever again.

It was going okay before dude started bragging about how he went out with a lady not too long before. He wasn’t all that into her and he said she clearly wasn’t into him, but he paid for dinner and guilted her into going home with him because he “might as well get something out of paying for her.” Giant red flag at this point. I went to the bathroom, when I came back the bill was on the table. He claimed that the server had brought it as one bill, rather than separate, and pointed out that she’d drawn a heart around the total in red pen. He refused to let me pay for my portion.

The thing is, it’s standard practice for servers to ask if the bill should be together or separate here, and I’d always been asked at that particular bar. Dude wasn’t a local and clearly didn’t know that. This guy told me about how he used “but I paid so now you owe me” to coerce a woman he knew wasn’t interested into having sex with him, and then immediately tried the same bullshit on me. He had deliberately asked for a single bill while I was away from the table. I’m reasonably certain he’s the one who drew the heart on the bill too.

Needless to say, it didn’t work. He still tried to drag me off to catch the train in his direction with him and got real upset when I told him to fuck himself and bolted. I’m very glad it was an early date so it was still light out. This guy did not take kindly to being told no.

I would donate my uterus to someone who actually wants kids in a heartbeat if I could.

My friend’s dog Greta. She was already an old lady when I took this picture in 2015 and passed a year or two ago.

It really depends on where you live. There are some parts of the world where environmental factors like ocean humidity or winter road salting will cause a car’s frame to rust through in a few years if you’re not careful. Look up the Rust Belt for an example.

On the other hand, if you live somewhere warm and dry, your car’s frame and body will outlast its original mechanical components.

My mom mortgaged me when I bought my current house. I’m in BC, Canada so you’ll want to check on your local rules. Here, the process of buying a house is separate from the process of getting a mortgage so if you don’t need a bank mortgage no one is going to scrutinize where the funds are coming from.

I got a realtor and went through the standard home buying process. As far as the seller and realtor were concerned, it was a cash sale and they didn’t care where the money was actually coming from, just that financing didn’t have to be a condition. They guided me through the offer process, told me when to get a lawyer to do the purchase paperwork, and the lawyer gave me details on how Mom should make the deposit and final payment. She could also have transferred the money to me and I could have done the payments myself but that was logistically difficult in this case since my credit union doesn’t have a branch where I live.

Mom and I then contacted a notary to draw up a mortgage contract. In our case, she’s not charging interest since she’d have to pay capital gains tax on any income over the principle. On paper, I own the house. Mom is listed as a lender on the title, exactly the same way a bank would be. If I default on my mortgage, she has the right to foreclose and force a sale. Once the house is paid off, the loan goes off the title. We have a handshake agreement that if my parents die before it’s paid off, the remainder will come off my portion of inheritance to keep things fair for my sister.

We could have set up the mortgage agreement first, but it made more sense for us to wait until we had the final numbers from the house sale.

IIRC white means you got all the secret glyphs in one playthrough.

Just one?
