    Weird, I guess he claims ghostwriters only assisted him with making outlines, but unless he had Steven King level of cocaine addiction idk how he was able to churn out that much so quickly. I haven’t read any of them since I was a kid, though. The dummy episodes gave me horrific nightmares.

    I hope I wasn’t coming across as mocking? On the flip side, we should be able to laugh at ourselves…Some people laugh because they’re uncomfortable. If you want us to be empathetic to someone losing their shit for a sec, try to have some empathy for those that it scares. You don’t have to witness it for it to have an emotional impact.

    I’d be more forgiving that it’s a pretty extreme scenario most people won’t experience in their lives, but I do think we have a responsibility to handle our emotions in healthy ways. Punching shit is dangerous. You can hurt yourself, and even if not, it’s a signal to me that you are capable of causing harm because you can’t control your anger. I’m not sticking around to find out my body may be next.

    Keep in mind, anger is often if not usually a secondary emotion to pain, fear, sadness, etc. Anger can be a great motivator, but again, how it’s expressed is important. Use your words, find some other action that doesn’t scare people (like take boxing classes where that’s the point), or process it on your own first.







  • Discord is the worst I’ve seen. I finally found a separate plug in to make posts disappear, which is how it should be. I guess I get keeping posts fully public, but it would be nice if discord prevented the replies or tags to maybe discourage the blocked user from interacting, too. They at least prevent the emoji reactions.



  • Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.


  • Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up

    The amount of passive aggression I expressed in my teens like this was too damn high. I’ve kept my Facebook but haven’t posted in years and have been systematically hiding posts as they pop up in my memories page.

    I’m still working on it, but y’all, I suggest if you struggle like I do with people pleasing, take a day or two to consider if it is worth directly bringing up to someone. Sometimes that silence or passive aggression becomes enabling. We can’t expect people to care about hurting our feelings if we don’t learn to express that hurt in healthy ways

    Note: this only applies for those that can accept healthy communication of hurt feelings and adjust their behavior. If you communicate directly that you were hurt and the person doesn’t care, fuck em




  • I would appreciate if sources were provided rather than sending me on a wild goose chase or being told essentially “trust me bro”

    Do you not also think there’s an issue when we start saying “you can find a couple”? If even one doesn’t have a source but it’s being pushed as fact, I will start thinking the claim maker unreliable.

    I really mean no offense, I’ve been trying to search and can’t find anything. I’ve asked chatgpt, Google, YouTube. I am trying to give benefit of the doubt.
