I would donate but I just moved and money is tight. If help is still needed in a few weeks I might be able to kick something in, just keep us updated here.

I had the same problem with finding work. You might just have to relocate. I got offered a job here immediately and have had a few others even. Plus my company is always hiring. It's just security but hey, tons of breaks almost no physical work at all and you don't deal with people at most sites. Check major cities and stuff, but make sure they will pay a damn living wage. None of that 10 dollar an hour crap.

@Bobotron I drive a Kia Forte, 200 bucks a month, 75 a month for my car insurance.

I get about 28 mpg city and 39-40 highway.

It's been pretty reliable thus far.

I get free downtown parking 24/7, so anyone with me has super easy access to SXSW. It's a private building with a private parking garage, so no tourists/out of towners will be there. Convenient as -fuck-.

You can't take advantage of someone if they don't consider it being taken advantage of.

As for being murdered... eh. It is what it is.

I gave them confirmation and they're changing the locks. Please don't scare me like that. X.x

So I wasn't robbed. But I did pay a bunch for new keys. Still have space open for folks who wanna move. Etcetera. Get in touch!

Michi Ramen. Where have you been all my life? Oh right. Not in the boondocks where I was living.

Why would anyone move to Austin? I don't know. It's a pretty cool place with jobs everywhere and low rent and it is at least 5 to 10 years away from having the bubble burst? It has a strong geek culture and the hipsters are mostly faded away after their 2010 to 2015 heyday? It is a hub of both tech and political types? I don't know. It's better than living in a small town or with the parents, I guess. The only downside is that they still haven't gotten rid of all the lawyers.

People need to find their own reason. 'Anywhere but here' has always been a good qualifier for me, when I consider a move. Being in a bad situation and needing a change or just wanting to get out of the boonies is probably the main one, regarding moving to any major city.

It's pretty easy to change who you are in MU*dom, @Monogram. Just don't tell anyone who you played before and start fresh with your new outlook and strive to present yourself in a positive manner. There is no need to tell anyone who you played or who you were. I'd guess that a majority of us were asshats during at least some point of our past.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just associate with people who will be tolerant of your quirks. People who you enjoy being around. Not just because 'you want to be around people' but because you genuinely enjoy those specific people's company.

There is no normal. We don't all have to get married, or have kids, or do X and Y. For years I chased after that until I finally figured out who I was and what I really wanted. Knowing that enabled me to act, and for the first time in a long time I can say I don't hate myself.

So... you really need to dig deep and think about what you want. And then focus on getting it. I say this as someone who has the exact opposite symptoms from you but the same problem; I am far, far, far too conscious of the emotions and body language of others and overreact massively to perceived intentions and subtext in what people are saying or doing. It's equally damaging in the social arena.

I'm not gonna lie; I love vicodin.I don't take it because I don't want to be permanently on meds, but when I take it? I feel sane, normal, rational, and able to function without excess energy or sluggish depression.

Sexism aside, different sexes have different brain chemical shit going on.

And that provides a difference of perspective. I see nothing wrong with wanting to hire a man or a woman specifically.

Having watched Iron Fist in its entirety twice now, I feel safe in offering the following opinion of the show:

It was the weakest of the set so far, however it is made better by watching it from the start with the viewpoint that the show is about a -VERY BAD- Iron Fist and his bumblings. Danny Rand is not a good Iron Fist. He is not a good person. You are watching a self-centered man child flail his arms and witnessing the damage it causes to those around him.

If you watch it with that perspective in mind the show is actually much, much better. Ward Meacham is the true 'hero' of the story. He has the most growth and best subplot, after all.

I got accused of a microaggression for using the word 'rape' inappropriately with someone. I said 'To me, being strip-searched feels a bit like rape.'.

Someone walking by had the nerve to stop, act indignant, and say 'Don't you know women are raped every day? Shame on you.'

So I kindly retorted: "Men are raped too. Quit being a sexist."

The best way to stop an accusation of a microaggression is to accuse the accuser of one as well.

Hey I dislike Livingston too but it's not that simple. It's never that simple. The point is Wal-Mart pulled some really, really shady stuff. (Turns out they haven't even looked into permits to get any 'plumbing' problems fixed and did the same thing in four other locations)

Before I started work at this location, the following incident happened. I read about it in incident reports/logs of the incident:

A security guard noticed a woman who had a small dog on a leash. He asked her if it was a service dog. She said 'You can't ask me that it's against the law!"

He politely informed her that the building has a policy stating only licensed service dogs are allowed. She called him a fascist and had a flip out.

She subsequently missed two days of work, claiming the whole thing triggered her so hard that she just couldn't go out in public.

The guard was punished for 'confronting' her. Damn millenials.

I didn't like Sense8. It felt too 'progressive' for me. Like it was trying too hard to be what it was.

My sister bumped my appointments every time I would set one with her to cut my hair. I drive 4-5 hours to visit family, sleep, then go to get my hair done by her the next day. She knows it's my only time to get it done so she uses my appointment as her 'squeeze other clients in' time, since I'm family and she knows I'll wait.

She knows I'll wait, and pay her 20 dollars for a haircut, plus 10-20 dollar tip, plus take the family out to eat after. Well, this time I had enough after she bumped me for a -DYE JOB-. Which is... a long ass time. 1.5-2 hours. She expected me to wait the whole damn time in her lobby. I told her no, and that I wouldn't be using her services again, and that I would be leaving a bad review online.

My mom said 'If you do that you're not welcome here anymore. At least she is -doing- something with her life.' So I immediately hit the big red button, because -fuck them- for saying I am not doing anything. I have my own apartment, my own car, in a city where I moved by myself and handle all my own shit.

My sister has never been alone and bounced from boyfriend to boyfriend to husband to husband, always being taken care of. She's lost custody of her daughter once, and gone bankrupt as well. Also I make more money than her.

But because she's married (third husband) and has a kid, the family just assumes she's doing something more with her life than me? Fuck them. I put up a 1 star review on facebook for a business that has 1500 five-star reviews, moving their total down to... 4.9 stars. And that .1 star is worth the family cutting me off.

So that's the story of how a 1-star review made my family cut me off. Life, am I right?
