Honk for Sugar...

Thats all naps are amazing

I got this today.

So, a bit of background: There’s this woman that has recently gone viral on tiktok. She made a video showing her family and their situation. They are two adults with 4 kids and one on the way. She showed their house where basically the parents have a regular bedroom; the kids, instead, are sleeping on some mattresses placed on the living room’s floor, which has free access to the exit and to the kitchen. Another thing is that while the kids don’t have a bed, the parents have a whole room with regular bed, light leds, a ps5 and a tv in their room. Onto the point of my theory. This woman made a video where she explained an agreement she made with her bf/husband. She said “My husband said that if I manage to go viral, he will give me another baby”. So what I’m thinking is that it’s either some kind of social experiment or she’s purposely making the situation sound worse in order to get fame and followers.

I struggle with self harm and did it for the last few days but today is almost over (ie I’m in bed right now about to sleep) and I didn’t do it today. So just wanted to commemorate today.

No it's not. A number is just a number. 7 is just a number.

Age is in direct correlation to your body's degeneration lol. A 90 yr old has very different bones, skin and organ function than a 10 yr old.

Cliches are annoying in general, especially when people say this like it's the first time anybody's ever said it, 'ya know... I think age is just a number! Ya know?' NO. I don't know. It's also the closer you are to death.

Being 5 is very different to being 50, because of how close you are to death! Also all the aforementioned, and your intellect, your brain's development, everything.

So for fuck sake, can everybody stop saying 'omg age is just a number'. It's not, it's a very meaningful reference to your life's progression.

K, rant over.

they killed "tellreddit.reddit.com" (or any other subreddit) so you no longer use as a shortcut to "reddit.com/r/tellreddit"

I've been writing since I was about ten and the dream quickly becoming a published author. I've tried to do so other stories, but this one, I real feel strongly about and really care about the characters.

The world the characters live in has supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves, and sirens. They've been "out of the coffin" so to say since the turn of the century. The humans have not taken it well. While things have improved in the time since, things still aren't going as well as they could be.

The two main characters are Jessie and Courtney. Jessie is a single father working at vet clinic just trying to make ends meet. Courtney has recently moved back into town, hoping someone looking for him had given up.

One night while on his way home, Jessie sees someone run across the dirt road in front of him. He checks out the footprints to figure out what's going on. He's also a supernatural hunter of sorts. (It doesn't pay the bills). He meets Courtney while doing this. They immediately hit things off but Jessie assumes they'll never see each other again. He doesn't give the encounter much thought. At least until it's revealed that Courtney took a job at the same vet clinic Jessie works at.

Courtney has known he was gay since he was a kid. He's also certain Jessie is the most attractive man he's ever seen. Since they're both looking for the same person, he proposes they find this person together. 2 birds with 1 stone.

I just finished a section where Jessie and Courtney have gone to a nearby lake to ask about the person. One of Jessie's informants insisted he'd been told by multiple people they'd seen someone matching the description at one of the local lakes.

Intermittent of them looking for the person, they're slowly falling in love. I'm planning on Jessie not realizing he's in love until the end of the book.

Hopefully there's gonna be a good bit of office drama too. Jessie has been at the vet clinic for nearly 5 years when he meets Courtney and for a while, it feels that his coworkers don't like him as much as he likes them. One coworkers even gets angry with Jessie for not asking about getting drinks with the groups when he hadn't even known about the drinks in the first place. She then proceeds to double down, saying that if Jessie wanted to know about the drinks he needed to ask about them without her actually saying anything.

Thank you so much for reading this post. I've really been wanting to talk about this story, but don't have anyone to talk to. Any opinions and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I try to fight it but I'm just ignoring the truth. I was brainwashed.now I'm starting to understand the truth again

I just took a massive shit, one of my best performances I'd say. It was so solid, it felt like trying to flush a brick. If humanity showed just a third of the resilience it showed in the face of the turbulent waters of life, the world would have been a better place.

I want to keep this short as its not necessarily important nor an enrichment to the internet but that's how i always feel inside. I just keep looking at the good things, keep myself busy and act like im fine. It makes life incredibly dreadful and dull.

I’ve been at this job for four months now, and I have to work next to this woman I’ve totally fallen for. It’s torture because I can’t make a move, and I'm ridiculously introverted, so connecting with people is already tough for me. I’m shy, don’t talk much, and yet here I am, sitting next to her, having lunch with her, working directly with her every day. We talk a little, but I feel like we’re not even close to being friends. She’s on my mind 24/7, and I’m going crazy because I have no idea how to even become friends with her.

Hi, 18M here Sorry for the long story I would appreciate it if your could read it all and share your thoughts on this, thanks.

I recently went to Japan for a month after graduating from high school before I started college. I can speak Japanese (not fluent) and I met this girl (19) in an app and we decided to meet when I went to Osaka. On the day we met I just got to Osaka and we planned to meet at the train station, we went to starbucks and talked for like 2 hour, then we went to buy some cloths as I asked her to help me choose them (I don't have any style and wanted her to help me choose). After that we ate dinner and I asked her if she heard of a place I saw on tiktok, Round 1. Round 1 is like an arcade of sorts, it has bowling, billiard, ping pong and more. She told me that she knows it and that we should go the next day. I tell here That I agree and we said we'd meet there at 11:30. We meet there and we were there until about 3 as she told me she has a dance lesson at 5. I asked her if she wanted to eat lunch and she told me yes so I asked her if she knows what shawarma is, she tells me that she knows it but that she didn't try it before so we went to eat shawarma, there, while eating, she tells me that there is a festival the next day and that we should go, I tell here that I would love to as I have never been to one and so we planned to meet there at about 15:00 if I remember correctly. The next day we met at the train station on went to the festival, on the way there, I asked her why she was hanging with me for 3 days and not with her friends, she just told me that she doesn't have plans and that her friends are all in school so I just brush it off (in Japanese she said "asonda" which your can translate to play around). We were at the festival for like 2 or 3 hours and then went to a Cafe for around another hour and a half, we talked there and we had fun laughing and such. After that she had to go to work (maybe dance lesson again, I don't remember) and I told here that I should be in Osaka for a few more days and that if she has time we should meet again and she agreed. The next day I went to a different hotel and around noon I sent here a message asking here if she wants to eat dinner at an Italian place I ate at before and she agreed. I sent here the address of my hotel as its close to the restaurant and told her to message me when she gets there and she said ok. After about 30 minutes I sent here a message asking if she found the way and she just told me that she can't come because she remembered that she has work the next day (seems a bit weird but ok) so I just tell her its ok and maybe we can meet another day and she says ok. The next day I met with a Japanese friend I know and I told him the story, he took my phone and sent here a message, she didn't answer. fast forward about 2 days, I went to Hiroshima, there she sends me a message asking how is everything going and I tell here that everything is going well and that I will send her pictures and so I do. Fast forward about 2 weeks, I went to Fuji and again she sends me a message asking where I am now and I tell her Fuji so she asks me for photos of mount Fuji and I sent here some. I then told here that I'm supposed to go back to Osaka in about a week and a half (for about 2 or 3 days) and that we should meet again, she agrees. Fast forward to the day I came back to Osaka I send here a message and she doesn't answer and so we didn't meet. Fast forward AGAIN, I'm in the airport waiting for my plane and I wanted to send a thank you message to everyone I met there, she answers me and says that she is sorry for not answering and that she was sick, I told here it's ok and that I hope she feels better. She then sends me a message saying that if I ever want to speak with her in Japanese we should talk on the phone and I tell her that I would love to. 2 days later I arrive in my country and I send here a message saying that I have a long drive (about 2 and a half hour) and that if she has time maybe we can talk on the phone, she ignored me.

Any idea what I can get from this experience with her? what did she want? WHY WAS SHE HANGING WITH ME FOR 3 STRAIGHT DAYS AND THEN IGNORES ME???

So who are these people? They ain't cops are they? Let me tell you exactly who they are and what they up to, they ain't cop. Even if they are, they ain't just 'cops'.

A while ago they were given tasks to complete within government institutions and others private institutions. They were given tasks to follow, but their 'employer' wanted to stay in the dark, because he knows what could happens if a third person finds out about their tasks. This 'employer' isn't the actual real employer lets just say, they are people with a second life. The 'employer' best interests is to have everything his ways.

So, the employees realizes this, they can just be their own bosses if they manage to keep the distance away from their actual 'boss'. They were given their first tasks, it is to keep people out of a institution. 'To remove or unwelcome these mens by all means', these employees were happy to do so.

And that was supposed to be a 1off tasks, it is so the institution will have a fresh start. Everything is easily control and ruled out all the original people that were there. One employee fell in love with these sort of task and he didn't want it to stop. So he exposed the identity of his boss. This is so the boss will stop seeing them.

This is their idea of being their own boss.

Basically, it is these institutions owned by legit people or government. The 'boss' only needed the place but doesn't want to build his own because of reasons like maintaining the place etc...This 'boss' doesn't actually have anything to do with these institutions, he just claimed it using his method...And I guess these employees see though what he trya do and ruled him out and started doing things themselves instead.

P.s. Scorpio hate snakes and they snaked me.

As industries boom and bust, so too is there oscillation between two dominant ideas in organizational structure.

The first is having promotion within the org necessarily correlated with administrative responsibilities. Under this system, you do want senior pay, benefits, and clout, you have to also be fine with telling other people (even outside of your historic silos) what to and what not to do. You have to be fine with passing down delusional, inefficient, and ineffective BS to subordinates who deserves better because that's what higher-ups want. And sleep at night. You most likely have to take account of sales, budgets, time-and-leave, shift scheduling, etc., when those are the last things you entered the field to do. Diffusing communication and personal issues is not something most former IC mavens are experienced in, much less interested in. And legal compliance? Reporting dueling claims of assault and harassment? Fighting (sometimes frivolous) hostile workplace accusations? These are parts of what SUCK about being a supe, manager, director, veep, or exec.

The second is having a distinct track for individual contributors, with sufficient incentives for increased seniority and a good deal of promotional opportunities. Liaisons may exist between upper IC and mgmt, but largely "making the things work and work smoothly" and "prioritizing/ parameterizing the things in question in a meta sense" are distinct enough bubbles that they barely interact— and even then likely only when something goes terribly wrong, or through dry intermediaries.

I feel that there is a growing need for a synthesis. Viz. keep two separate promotional tracks, but also give ICs at least some continual training and exposure to administrative tasks, as a norm. Industry norm. Global norm. Not a universal (certainly some spectrum peeps would attest), but an expectation.

Perhaps an extreme example: a firefighter, alone, is in all major respects and individual contributor. Outside of work (waiting in line at the store, paying rent, sorting garbage, taking turns at the gym), there is no expectation that the firefighter can push people around to make tasks more easy, fun, enriching, etc. Even during work, 99% of time, there will be nothing of the sort. Even the vast majority of the time during the outstanding 1% when swift command-and-control action may be required, it's limited. (Drives the truck. Or mans the hose. Or climbs the ladder. Etc.) In rare circumstances, however, a lone firefighter may be expected to wield nigh dictatorial authority, damn anyone in the way. Dignitaries cars are blocking the hydrant? First year FF could break the windshields of the House Speaker, Senate Majority Leader, POTUS, Chief Justice, and Fed Chair without asking to get to a water source, and probably be lauded for it. (Exaggerated example to illustrate the point.) Then in the next minute, go back to being a cog.

Certainly not all professions have the nobility and courage associated with saving people from burning, nor level of need required by such circumstances, but on the basic idea of "training IC on how to temporarily take charge if rare and terrible scenarios materialize" seems, on some level, like something that Big Consulting could look into as translatable to other occupations.

I’m a 26 male with my birthday next weekend and I’m really struggling with not just my mental health but also a few other things like my weight. I went away for work for two and a half months (7-8 hours away from home) and I lost my routine after the first month and a half away, I was on track with losing weight before I left however being away for an extended period of time has changed me but not for the better. I’ve let both my managers know that I’m not going to do more then a month away unless I can go home every weekend instead of every second weekend because I think that’s what almost killed me in the end, travelling 6-8 hours back home on the Friday morning and headed back home either on the Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.

About my weight I’m trying to get back to where I was in 2016-2017 where I was around 90-100kg and now I’m 170kg, I’m on weight loss medication and going to the gym 3 times a week with a PT, I know that people care but I AM TRYING MY BEST TO LOSE WEIGHT, the more people that “nag” me about it the worse I feel about it, I have told my own mother off for nagging me about it and she was pissed off about it. I think last night is the lowest I’ve been in the last couple years or close to it.

It’s been three weeks since he passed and I still hurt when I think about him. I still expect him to be on his pillow and to bark when someone comes home. He was 13 but still felt like he left too soon. I always appreciated him and gave him long pets but it still wasn’t enough. I was with him when it happened and I hope he wasn’t scared.

How I feel is not necessarily that I’m bad at things but whenever I do anything I get the feeling I’m not doing as good as I could no matter if it’s school skating playing games if I don’t feel like I’m amazing or the best I can’t be satisfied unless I am solidly the best I feel I need to continue working

So, how do you actually determine something that is actually good? There are so many other factors that should be included to decide if is good or not.

I think my logic pretty much goes for everything. Is like smoking weed right, you probably would like some strong ass weed but you don't want it to be so strong that it makes you pass right out when you have 1 toke. Like that, sure. It being strong is good, it is very effective. Also very efficient for a stoner to get high of it when it is that strong. But that's what I mean, sometimes the most efficient isn't always the best.

He asked them to make sure they are okay at all cost. First, the guy doing the job had a look at who needed the protections.

There is always two side of things right? So this old guy that needed the protection thought he is finna be invincible. While the kid, that is meant to take care of this old guy worries.

Not exactly sure how this old guy get to have protection at all, probably owes a favor from some random rich dude. Anyway, the kid figured he probably gotta do this job for the rest of his life. He knew rejecting the job will probably get him kill, although he doesn't like the situation he is in, he tries to make the best out of the position he is in.

Little did anyone know, this isn't actually a protection job. This is only a test for the kid. The kid went to the rich guy and asked him two questions. He asked the rich guy "Do the old guy gotta be in the same position in life that he is currently in?" Which the rich guy replied "No". Second question he asked "Do the old guy gotta be selling weed?" The rich guy said "No".

At that point the kid realized it would be a way easier task...Because the protection job doesn't actually require the guy to still be in his current social life or work life or social circles, whatever you wanna call it. All he is required to do is make sure the guy is safe. So instead of doing all that effort into making sure the old guy is safe. He instead completely reshaped his life. First he started off by making sure the old guy doesn't get his supplies, stopping him from selling weed because there would be so many uncertainty, too many uncertain events and random people he gets to interact with.

With that out the way, it was a easy job. The kid then start to wonder, do the old guy even gotta be alive?

Because the most effective way of doing the job would be when the kid is completely in control of his life. So he did exactly that to ensure his every action is the most efficient. ....

The title says it all. These self important fucks with bloated egos the size of the milky way galaxy need to stop begging regular people for money like they're not the reason most regular people are broke as fuck to begin with.

So proud. My brother likes to draw and he wanted to get into animation to make his ideas come to life, so after practicing on a borrowed chromebook, he got a 10 inch onn tablet for his 14th birthday this year and was permitted to make a YouTube channel. I'm proud because even though it's not super popular (yet) it's amazing, he keeps going and making new things, his animation is getting better fast as is his story telling. He let's our other brother post his short videos to his channel as well and they get likes too! I throw him ideas and he makes them, he even asks us if we wanna be a guest when he needs one. He plays most of the characters and does great. It's simple and just the beginning but I'm so proud he is working to make it better and I'm glad people watch them and have been so kind and supportive. I just wanted to tell someone, it makes me happy and I want him to keep doing what makes him happy.

My guess is these mofo always get away with doing annoying shit because they always find a reason to explain their actions. This is how, first they found a reason the feds will go after instead of them if they ever get caught.

Could be a person in the open jungle, just a phrase. They are not literally in a jungle, but they are in the complete open without knowing. Pretty much just a prey in these predator eyes. Due to the situation being so uncertain and there could be changes at any moment. The feds will always ended up sorting those issues out.

On the flip side, these mofo is looking at it like an exploits. They only need to figured out who they gonna 'save', so they get to do some bad shits. Found a way, all they gotta do is make someone take the fall. For the longest time, it has been working. The feds always see their actions as only a way to communicate, so they go easy on these fuckers.

Until now, the trap is basic. They always need a reason to explain why they flagging. This person always manage to get into some sort of shits. This person ended up as their fall back plan. It is only working because they have split into different group to make things work, one would go after the person and one would do whatever kind of dirty work they been up to.

The issues is, one day all the sudden the person are no longer in serious trouble, they no longer have a fallback. And it all happened all the sudden.

After a medical procedure, when I came out of anesthesia, I had a ten minute conversation with the doctor. Unfortunately my short term memory was not working well enough to bank any of the conversation. Sometimes, I still wonder what we talked about.

has anyone ever thought about how different the future will be from how it is now for older people? With phones all out memories will be held right on our phones, there will never be history classes on our generation, simply because the invention of social media etc. will keep people thinking about the past for the rest of their lives, CRAZY!

Take your pizza and make sure it has two plates (if you use paper plates), then put it in for 4 minutes, if it's still not cooked put it back in for 1 to 2 more minutes thank you for your time
