Don't feel bad at all. Someone with less technical skill than yourself would have already resorted to making a return, or even started whatever dispute/fraud process they have (assuming it was sold as working good condition).

What a unique looking lil guy, wow! I am terrified of spiders except for the jumpers (fat stubby legs so cute), and apparently this guy! It looks so different from any spider I've seen before. Very neat.

Can we not do this appearance slandering shit? Criticize him for his choices (like the coat) not genes. Plenty of short people out here who fucking hate this guy.

Came here to say this. CBS rot in piss.

True lol you got me there

Totally depends on the scenario, I use all 3. If we're talking about music, hobbies, personal interest type stuff, it's usually C, without the "tell them you already know". I try to show that I know instead of telling. Like if someone's telling me about a band I already know about, I'll let them finish and then say something that requires deep understanding of the source. If the discussion is academic, B, but like in a respectful way? Not 'cutting off' the other person, more so 'jumping in'. And that's so we can both establish what we both know and move on to the more interesting stuff. A is used for authority figures that I have no respect for. I have nothing to say to marching orders.

I have been a pretty social person in a previous part of my life, getting to know hundreds of people on a relatively deep level, due to the circumstances I was in. Most people do not look at the world like your family does. The majority of men I know do have more outward aggression than I do, but they channel it through healthy outlets (sports and exercise). That being said, I myself also have a hard time feeling safe around men (even though I am one myself), mainly when I don't know them. This is primarily because of my size (short and not bulky) but also my sense of empathy, which I feel leaves me vulnerable to those lacking it.

I don't know if you are, but you should be proud of yourself for turning out like you did. The fact that their behavior is so horrific to you shows your moral standard hasn't been tarnished or corrupted. If anything I would imagine it's been solidified. Your childhood was absolutely, royally fucked. I've heard many stories of childhood abuse; the worst ones, most heartbreaking ones, etc. I would say your experiences are in that same boat. To guesstimate, I think yours is probably in the worst 5% or rarer.

Not to be too bleak but I think staying is just as much of a risk to your safety as leaving. Who knows when one of them might snap and try to kill you? That's an absolutely hellish environment to try to survive in.

Listen, I don't know you but I love you. I love you for holding steadfast resolve through pitch-black suffocating darkness. I love you for your light refusing to be snuffed out. The piece of yourself that you've displayed here is beautiful and it deserves the best. If there were more people like you around, the world at large would be happier.

I don't pray but I will be meditating today and sending positive intent your way. If you need someone to talk to, this is me making myself available. I don't have much going on but too much extra time. Don't feel obligated to that, or to even reply. I just hope this helps, and that you succeed on your hike out of hell. I have faith in you.

I mean, I got mine to do it. No shame personally because I recommended at 40k and made sure they understood the risks. Seems real enough to me.

Enough of this divisive bullshit. Some of us have been here the whole time. And for those who haven't; better late than never.

Give that motherfucker a 'rough ride' and see how he feels about it. This is great news.

This is honestly a disgusting take because it shows how biased you are against addicts. Not a stupid question. Just a nasty one. Your 2nd and 3rd are good questions though. I don't think there's jack shit qualifying him to give health advice in reality. He's a crackpot supplement pusher. Which I feel kinda answers your 3rd; americans have a long history of being stupid and blindly trusting whatever the pill-pusher says, because they hear what they want to hear. Unfortunately.

I hate RFK and all the damage he's done/is doing to our country's general state of health. His history of addiction is literally last on the list of reasons not to trust him. In my view, a history of addiction (now being in recovery) usually gives you a pretty sane view of health, since it brings you so close to death. The overwhelming majority of recovering addicts that I know lead healthier lifestyles than non-addicts. Oftentimes when people see with clarity how much damage they've done to themselves, they desperately want to treat their body better.
