The Bible also isn’t meant to be real. It’s a compendium of stories all put into one book, with tons of different writers. It’s akin to The Odyssey and shouldn’t be taken literally. Zeus didn’t come to Earth as a golden shower to impregnate Danae, and Jesus didn’t come back from the dead. They’re just fables.

It’s called “Sunday Boxing” and it’s a joke painting from the show Parks & Rec where it hangs in the fictional Pawnee’s City Hall.

This was a very informative painting and article! Thank you for sharing this!

Communication is key. Text her like, “Hey was thinking about you, everything ok with you and Jon?” And let her fill in the open-ended question with whatever she’s comfortable telling you about.

Worried about what? It seems clear she and J are having some issues and it’s probably better to not get involved. Behind closed doors they clearly have a problem they’re working through. What you need now are boundaries for yourself and to think about and talk about your own personal expectations with K.

I think ENM stands for ethical non-monogamy. So a consensual open relationship.

Oof, sorry you’re having such a rough time right now. I wouldn’t feel too bad about the woman you had to leave behind though. Because relationships are a two-way street and she has to put some effort in too. If she didn’t fight for you or try to figure out a way to make it work for you both, then she wasn’t prioritizing the relationship anyway. As an example, my partner and I lived at least 1000 miles from anyone we knew and we had no support system. When my partner, who was the breadwinner at the time, lost her job, we together found a new solution. Yes, it meant picking up and moving across the country again in less than a year, but the alternative was homelessness. Never once was our relationship on the line, even if our housing was. There’s someone out there who thinks being apart from you is the worst life choice ever, so don’t miss her by being sad about the ones who aren’t her.

The only way to not repeat this is to learn from it. I’m a big proponent of “attract, don’t chase.” When you are the absolute best version of yourself, happily doing your own thing and living your best life, people find that attractive. Try to volunteer or go to hobby events/shops, you’re going to find people who like what you like and try to find a relationship that is a positive feedback loop. I think you should want to do everything in your power to make your partner happy because their happiness brings you joy and your partner should feel the same about you. Boost each other until you both reach your goals.

Not park time or off leash time, your dog needs leashed walking through the neighborhood with you. Walk circles around a nearby school or weave through the streets and do “focus” training with her to bond.

Alright, yeah. Fair enough. Have a good day!

You’re getting caught up in the minutiae of definitions and are missing the big picture. These tenets were put in place to counteract anti-abortion laws under the guise of religion. It’s a subversion of religious and conservative tactics with a much better message.

I dunno man. All I know is that this is very similar to the one I had (https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236) and it always worked for me. Just trying to help a person with a suggestion…

Here’s one similar to the one I had! https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236

Anti-static keychain! They’re small, cheap, and buyable on Amazon. You basically just touch it and it discharges the static without hurting. Life saver for me, my hair builds up a lot of static and I used to shock myself and family all the time.

At best, Masterson would have to “pay rent” if he were in a regular prison, but honestly he’ll likely go to a rich white person prison where none of that applies. A prisoner would only get killed if he were a child molester.

You aren’t stupid, you’re naive at best, and that’s something you can build from. You can’t teach someone how to have a good heart. So don’t take this as a huge blow (emotionally, financially it’s ok to feel like this was a huge blow if you couldn’t really afford it) and just take this as a lesson in learning to filter out those who genuinely need help and those who don’t. If you really couldn’t afford it, yeah file a police report. Not sure if you’ll get your money back, but it might stop the scammers from doing it again to some other nice people.

When I was a younger person, I was broke as all hell. But I managed to have an extra $5 that I was going to use for a nice lunch. (The first time I hadn’t skipped lunch in ages!) At the gas station, a guy approached me and pulled on the heartstrings. I even said, “this is my last $5.” He had absolutely no qualms about ripping out of my hand and driving away in his car that CLEARLY had enough gas in it for him to get away and wasn’t completely empty as he had told me minutes before. Lesson learned.

Good people in genuine dire straits, don’t personally ask a stranger online for money. That’s why places like GoFundMe exist. If you want to make your local community better, walk around with an extra sandwich in your lunch box and give it to a different homeless person everyday. Pretty much never ever give money and only offer food and company.

Literally a scam. You seem like a good person though, which is why it was so easy to scam you. For real, go volunteer.

You’re clearly a giver and currently immersed in a world of takers. I suggest you find other givers and spend your time doing useful things instead of talking to strangers online. For real the animal shelters and homeless shelters need people bad. Spend your energy there.
