Thank you. I took him to court last summer, and my lawyer got him to agree to just leave me alone until I graduate uni and could leave. But this dude wouldn't, every time I walked outside he did everything he could to make me go back in. He was actually stalking me at school too, I'd walk out of a building and see him leaning on my car. So I was checking it for damage and trackers daily. There's actual damage to my house now, but it's not like I can go out there and fix it...

The cops have been less than helpful, saying "that's on public property" or "well, we can't really tell what his intentions are, have you talked to a therapist?". Finally last month I got one to admit to me that they aren't interested in charging him with anything, including violating the restraining order. So, I don't really have a choice, there is no protection for me here

The last time I wasn't polite to a man he threatened to ruin my life, drive me out of my home, kill my dog, etc. All I did was throw his stuff back into his yard, stuff he had thrown into my driveway. Yeah, that was my next door neighbor. And he won, I'm selling my house at a loss and fucking my credit just to get away from him

Edit: a couple months before that he tried to break into my house because he wanted something and I wasn't answering the door. And a few months before that he had literally pushed his way into my house following me in. Some people are nuts, and so need to be treated carefully. I was just completely at my limit with him, and should have called for backup before that confrontation that pissed him off

My grandparents had this wonderful antique sleigh-style bed frame in their guest room. It had a couple horizontal rods on the foot side that was perfect for hanging the comforter and a quilt on to air out. Had totally forgotten about that until your comment, now I kinda want to get one lol

I can't see Trump firing her, because she knows exactly how to play the game. Bongino is acting like his honest opinion matters, but the only thing that matters is framing things in a way that Trump finds flattering

Edit:

“Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills, 3,400 kilos of fentanyl, which saved—are you ready for this, media?—258 million lives.” Yes, she turned to the camera for the aside to the media.

Why are we meeting him again? Didn't he run for president in 2020?

Dissociative identity disorder is not a personality disorder, it's a dissociative disorder.

It's 4chan so we can't even take the OP at face value for what the couple actually believes or said

I'm sure this is referring to the fact that there are plenty of foods that don't require cooking. But binge-restrict disorders often end up in a caloric excess for a variety of reasons

Hurricanes are so devastating, I don't think anyone really understands unless they've gone through it. I've lost a few neighbors to a few different hurricanes, because evacuation orders never seemed to keep up with the changes to direction and speed. People absolutely go feral trying to survive, and I'm not saying that I blame them, but it adds an extra layer of brutality when you are in an isolated community and it often takes a week for help to arrive. A week without safe drinking water, fears of electrocution from downed power lines, no medical aid, and the stink of rotting animals (in my case it was always fish who got stranded when the water receded), and worse.

I served in the Navy, but I'll always remember how hard the Guard and the Coasties fought to bring comfort. Even if it's just the comfort of knowing you can bury family and friends, that's still a gift/sacrifice they can give us. I wish non-combat PTSD was spoken about more often, especially because people tend to avoid getting help without the combat label.

You can think of it like performers. An actress is still an actress outside of her performances, but she won't be the character she portrays. On the other hand there are music artists that take their character outside of a performance, in interviews for example. Lady Gaga and Poppy are people who come to mind in that regard
