IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS! If people won’t listen to Jesus, maybe they can listen to his modern day apostle Fred Rogers when he said “I like you just the way you are.”

WTF! This is so far beyond ridiculous!

Bruh! Same boat. In 2019 I had a receding hairline and the same cut as that Charlottesville douchebag that was plastered everywhere.

Now I just gotta shave it. Pretty pissed at the alt-right for ruining the one of the very few haircuts I could pull off (amongst MANY other things).

A relationship should definitely be built on a foundation of companionship, healthy emotional bonding, and love. Going out to eat, movies, concerts, trips, and whatever else is nice and healthy but that definitely shouldn’t be the conerstone of any relationship.

That said, if someone isn’t able to pay even half of their rent, they probably shouldn’t be trying to relationship. They should be focusing on trying to get to place of financial independence so that they can be at the very minimum self sustaning in the relationship. A good potential partner would probably be more impressed with low debt and stability over one’s ability to rack up debt and impulsiveness.

As far as the herd goes… everyone is poor these days. The apps, like most social media are all smoke and mirrors. So don’t compare yourself to what you see online, it’ll drive you crazy! And understand that when you’re going on a date everyone is putting their best foot forward (hopefully).

Ya, it took me a few years after he died before I realized I could somewhat affect my dreams. After rereading what I wrote, I’m kinda wondering if me telling him he was dead was actually more for me, in accepting that he was actually dead.

When it comes to lucid dreaming, I am by no means an expert. In my own dreams I can mostly just realize that I’m dreaming, which comes in handy when it comes to bailing out of nightmares, or extending dreams that I’m enjoying. I’ve definitely lost a step with age, I feel like I used to have more control.

When I was pretty young my dad taught me how to recognize when I was dreaming and how to use that knowledge to affect my dreams. I didn’t really care at the time, he was way into it though.

After he died, it was really hard for me when he visited, until I remembered what he’d taught me. When I finally told him he was dead during one of his visits he just said “I know” and it completely changed the dynamic of his visits. That was many years ago, I’m almost as old as he was when he passed. Now, when he visits we just hang out and enjoy each others company. I get to tell him about his grandchildren he never got meet and he gives me advice or at least listens to my struggles. I don’t know if the dream version of him is real or not (I choose to believe it is), but it doesn’t matter. Dad dreams went from being my worst dreams to my absolutely best dreams.

I’m sorry if you lost someone, and I’m sorry if it hurts. Please know that some day you may come to cherish seeing then in your dreams.

Remember when conservative sheriff’s around the country literally ran on platforms of not enforcing state covid mandates? And conservatives ate that shit up!

But this is different I guess. 🤷

SOMEDAYSOON, BROTHER, YOU WILL ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM! AROOOOOOOO!

Didn’t they both go to Ivy League schools? Just sayin’.

Praise Bob, indeed!

Cat.

I wouldn’t, unless you have the money.

I’m pretty new to mini painting as well, and using speedpaint 2.0. They all look pretty good without wash. I did use a homemade wash on one of them and yes it made a positive difference but I’d recommend making sure you like the hobby before investing more than you need to.

Peak Oregon right there. Even taking up 2 spots!

Welcome friend. I too am a RIF refugee. Long time lurker (8 years) and occasional shit stirrer over at r/eugene. I’m stoked to see more from our community heading over to lemmy.

Witness - I was about the same age as the kid in the movie. I’m still sketched put in Airport/train/bus station bathrooms.
