You are a bad person. Bad things happen. That’s why we have laws and prisons and sometimes the death penalty

Friend A and Friend B are exes and were already broken up when the incident occurred. The incident happened 3 years ago. Friend A made out with my roommate while Friend B was in another room with me. Friend B was understandably furious and now doesn't even want to be invited to things where Friend A is also invited.

Now I try to base this around fairness. I usually give priority Friend B because Friend A made a choice to make out with my roommate and Friend B didn't make a decision. But now Friend A is really hurt, and I would be too if I wasn't invited because a friend didn't want me there. I'd also not want to be outcast over a small mistake. And Friend B is also making a choice to not tolerate Friend A.

I love them both so much and want to invite both, but I'm trying really hard to be loyal and do the right thing

These may sound like dumb problems and probably incely and I apologize. Just how Ive been feeling. Also very stream of consciousness.

Tried to have a “party” the other week but could only get 3 friends and 3 other ones flaked. And I felt bad because it was so boring. I have a decent number of friends but I’m not sure how close they are. And when we do hang out, it’s not a ton of variety, just parties, watching movies or going to bars. No adventure. Would love ideas on how to do that

I’m jealous of people who are in relationships and have people and (sorry for the sexism) of women who seemingly have really close intimate sister like bonds. And I feel excluded of that because I’m a man.

I have a couple hobbies but nothing that I do I do outside my room and don’t make a lot of friends anymore. I used to be good at it but not anymore.

Seems messed up to other and exclude men for the sole reason of being born with a dick and balls and a Y chromosome. Like, I’ve heard women refuse to allow vulnerability and emotional intimacy from friends because they were born male.

I hope that’s not true but from what women on the internet say, that’s what I’m basing this on

And republicans should be reminded of that every day

I love people. That’s why I don’t want to bomb them or for them to live in poverty.

And I love my friends. But EVERY circle Ive been in with fellow twenty somethings, people left of center CONSTANTLY shit on men for doing the EXACT same thing as they do. I had a coworker say that dogs were better than men and then turned to me and say that they meant offense by that.
And I kinda want to be treated as one of them but feel that puts up an emotional barrier.

And I obviously love my male friends too but having only male friends seems lonely and incelish and like a loser.

My therapist said if this happened to her, she’d leave her social situation, but I’d either have to start hanging out with much older people or conservatives, who I can’t stand. It’s been in every circle ive hung out in, every job, every school

The death penalty is needed. People need to be SO SCARED of killing civilians that it becomes a rarity. That’s the only way to prevent civilian massacres that we constantly see

They voted to bomb an elementary school. They voted to sell weapons to two genocides. They voted for ICE to kill and rape and starve people in their camps. They voted to let Epstein’s accomplices get away with it.

They are bad people and they’ll never make up for what they voted for because the consequences are too extreme

I’ve never seen a conservative champion against war or genocide or human rights abuses. I’ve never seen them passionate about lifting people up from poverty or raising people’s quality of life. Never seen a conservative argue for any better outcome for humanity

Most conservatives approve of and want bombing schools and hospitals. Even if a white person from the west does it and not a brown person from a third world country, the ACTION is what makes it terrorism

Spoilers for both shows obviously, but the final scene between Bojack and Beatrice reminds me so much of the final scene between Tony and Uncle Junior. Both protagonists had cut off someone with dementia for something they did due to their dementia (although Beatrice’s drugging of Hollyhock seems more intentional) and are interacting in a nursing home, which are intentionally shitty out of spite. But in both, despite their animosity towards Uncle Jr/Beatrice, they give a parting happy memory. Bojack tells Beatrice is at the cabin and Tony tells his uncle that he ran north jersey.

Anyway, $3 a pound

My current job is going to be drug testing me, and stupidly, they care about weed (even though the job is at a summer camp).
I’m a pretty heavy stoner but I love this job and its community. I’d have to take 5 month t breaks (3 months of work plus two months of flushing the weed out of my system before summer).

I also can’t be beating the shit out of my liver with booze and am looking for something that won’t lead me to an early grave (duh) and won’t show up on a test (weed is the only safe one that shows up).

I’m not optimistic about options, and I may just have to stop working there as i kinda wanna keep smoking. Shrooms wears off for me pretty quickly and acid makes me anxious.

Any advice would be epic

Hey y’all, this is kind of a vent post more than anything, so delete if not allowed. I started teaching in February. I started out as a para educator for a school catering towards kids on the autism spectrum in September and they made me a lead teacher in February. I’ve been working really hard, but I don’t have a degree or certification in education (this is a non-public school, so I can teach for 3 years before being certified).

Where I messed up was when it comes to testing. The class is second grade, but they ALL went down in terms of scores in math. I don’t think those are reflective of their actual scores. The teacher i replaced who has been mentoring me said I don’t have to be sorry, and she admitted she needed to instruct me more about following the state standards, since she only told me to follow the curriculum modules on HMH.

Also, many of the students rushed on their tests, which I was supposed to prevent. I thought I was paying enough attention but I guess I lapsed, which is lame.

I’m worried about explaining this to the parents, since this school costs money and they deserve someone more qualified. I am worried that this will affect my job security (although my bosses always say im doing a good job). I am really passionate about this, so any advice moving forward would be helpful

If you blow up an elementary school, you should go to jail. If you fire guns at refugee camps, you should go to jail. If you blow up a hospital, you should go to jail. If you rape children, you should go to jail. If you cover up the rape of children, you should go to jail. If you place people in a concentration camp without access to a lawyer or due process and rape them and deny them food and meds and murder them and “disappear” them, you should go to jail. If you OVERSEE those things and don’t stop them and hold people accountable, you should go to jail. If you take bribes from other countries, you should go to jail.

These are all crimes. Also don’t vote for people who do those things

Y’all wanted THIS instead?

Look, I know this looks bad, and I try hard not to stereotype like this. But it’s been SO hard not to find women like this. I’m a man but I have a lot of women friends and I’m kinda jealous of the “sisterhood” community of women and wish I could be a part of that.

But with almost ALL of my woman friends, it seems like even the TINIEST, most MINUSCULE thing can be a mark against you forever. Ive had friends leave over jokes. Not jokes where I stereotype women or not take rape seriously. I made a joke about that congress woman vaping in a pregnant woman’s face saying she it wasn’t that bad because of the lack of knowledge of vapes (I obviously don’t actually think that) and she cut me out of her life over that. I’ve never had a male friend do something like that.

I’ve had friends get mad at me making “you’re mom” jokes because I’m a man and those are apparently sexiest. I also make your dad jokes and gay jokes. I don’t give a fuck what someone’s gender is.

Recently, I had a friend get mad because I agreed with Timothy Chalamee that opera and ballet were bad and she stormed off.

Like, I KNOW if I was a woman, I’d be given so much more leeway.

And I really hope im wrong about this, that this is an unfair stereotype, but the walking around on eggshells is ridiculous
