New Hampshire is a state of insanity. It’s the only state that still doesn’t require seatbelts.

Of course, some right wing nut jobs who were likely championed by Charlie when they targeted high profile Black women are now putting out claims that his wife is a trans person and are attacking her for it

It is amazing how much better life feels and gets when you let go of the people/things that you’re supposed to.

You’ll actually be better.

I might just put my phone on DND and ignore my family for the rest of the year. That sounds like peace.

I think your person should be easy to be with. Relationships are work but they shouldn’t difficult work. Work doesn’t mean unbearable or hard. It means effort, energy, time, etc. It’s doing stuff to get the most desired result. It’s work but work that feels good most of the time. So it’s easy.

If I was a world, renowned chemist, and I got kidnapped and told I needed to make some kind of dangerous concoction, I would literally just create something that takes out everybody in the complex. Not gonna have my name tied to some terrorist mass murder plot.

In the wake of your sunshine
I've never felt so glum
Think I'm made up of moonlight
Don't reach quite as far, but I still show up
Stick around for someone (someone)
Stick around 'til dawn, I wonder

I racked up the points needed to get my free turkey from the grocery store, but this damn cold is kicking my ass and I don’t feel motivated to go to the grocery store even though it’s literally two blocks away

After my last relationship, I realize that if I’m gonna date a woman, it has to be someone who will be OK with me buying them flowers or some other random thing just because. It has to be someone who will occasionally do something with me that isn’t their thing, but does it with me anyway

Nope.
I can only truly think of one friendship that would count for this, but she left me stranded in a foreign country with no ID and I had to sleep in a park while fearing getting locked up. It takes a lot for me to give up on a friendship and once I do, there is no going back.

Question for the skyline…. Have you ever recovered a friendship after trust was broken?

I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to be productive all the time. You're allowed to have a slow life and you're still worthy of love when you don't have something to offer. You deserve love just by being alive. This includes love to yourself.

This is someone who has never paid attention to sports. A quick Google search will bring up videos of all sorts of mayhem after teams in numerous sports win where damage is greater than anything you have ever seen in Philly. But like so many, this person has a hard-on for hating Philadelphia.
