Since it’s October, are there good sociological research papers on the decline in trick-or-treating?

For instance, in my neighborhood between the period of 2005-2015 it went from innumerable kids to zero kids.

This has to do with a turn inward, a culture of fear and safety, and alternative social events hosted in more controlled environments (churches, schools, etc.).

Also, what other phenomenons like this do you find fascinating?

If my Ed financial 90 day on ramp to standard repayment plan begins October 13 will my first payment be due the 13th or in November?

I’m confused and always questioning the bureaucracy of it all. This is coming off of the ended SAVE plan, by the way.

What are the specific approaches by this loan servicer?

So it just hit me I’m schizoid and hyper sexual

I’ve only had a handful of partners, but sex comes as a stand in for connection?

Anytime I think of “relationships” I’ve had it happens to be about the sex.

I was with a girl 2 years back and she since then has gotten more and more into running. It just so happens she was very attractive—body and face. Her personality issues made her hook up with people she was way “too good” for if you want to put it that stupid way. But since exercising makes you look better—SHE LOOKS EVEN BETTER NOW THAN WHEN I WAS WITH HER.

And that was the first time I considered just sending her a message saying I don’t know what.

Maybe it was exposure to pornography too young by neighborhood delinquents and having an addictive personality as is. But most of the time I’m overwhelmed with sexual thoughts.

Ah schizoid perversions. If I wasn’t in such a sorry state of isolation and letting myself go I may would try to hook up with someone. That has always helped.

The neurotypical reliance on insults to tamper their own feelings of anger and insecurity…

I guess as a schizoid with my emotions distant I always approach both men and women with a baseline of kindness. If I fail to respond soon to a text (I haven’t gotten one of significance socially in what is a few years) and the person has a backhanded insult, I never feel the need to respond with one and generally just go “okay.”

But this is a common thing for most of the young population and those with more hysterical and emotional tendencies. It’s foreign to me because I don’t think about things the same way.

This is technically just the beginning!

  1. Anyway, I’ve always had a widows peak and a hairline really far back inherited from my mom. Noticed recently my hairline is moving back. Yes, I have a giant forehead. Had thick and mostly curly hair at the most when straightened down to my lower back throughout my teens. Given my starting hairline and the fact I still wear it longer/at a medium length I’m gonna give it a while, maybe a couple years. No hair loss on top yet.

Can we claim titles? I need to be known as the KING OF STEEL RESERVE. HUNDREDS AND IT DOESNT STOP, BABY!!!

(Any girls pls message me I haven’t had real social contact in 4 years due to my drinking)

I love the taste. I can even down them when there’s no carbonation and it’s hot. I can feel my liver pressing against my other organs after mixing vodka with it…it’s been a recurrent factor. I still have hope it will end but I can’t stop drinking.

I’ve come to occasionally expect the off handed comments from attendants and clerks but it still pisses me off

“No beer today?”

“Some people can’t do without it!”

Or from the guy behind me in line to his friend: “Damn 2? 80? That’s a lot of liquid to drink.”

Well yes, I’m an alcoholic. I’m only happy after slamming 80 ounces of steel reserve. I don’t even have a high natural tolerance and do have a small frame. It’s essentially 11 beers in half the volume of do nothing light beer.

The hair dresser a year ago could smell the alcohol coming from me, I guess my pores, and asked if I’d jokingly want a shot of whiskey. No, if I’m drinking liquor I’m gonna get cheap 100 proof vodka and fry my throat.

Stage 2 vs. stage 3 is still confusing me…

So I’ve heard people here say they had successful treatment of stage 3 bladder cancer with trimodal therapy. But from the research I’ve done I can’t pinpoint exactly what stage 3 means. I thought that meant the tumor extends beyond the muscle wall or into the lymph nodes, in which case I figured TMT wouldn’t be very successful. Any help clearing this up?

How can I stop? I guess it’s a sign of bladder issues but I don’t care. Waking up everyday in a puddle of urine lmao. I just go to bed happy and then wake up in a bed full of pee with no help. Oh well.
